cially important that early shipment

This point is emphasized in a letter
to the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association from c. III. Frame, super
fntendent of the American Railway
Express Co. of this city, in which he
stated: I'VE are planning to clean up
our Christmas deliveries by Saturday
night, December 2E as we know how
keen is the disappointment of the,
senders Of holiday packages and the
recipients as well, especially where
there are children, ii gifts from out of
town do not arrive on time. We In
tend to do our part in, making it a.
merry Christmas"
BY proper packing and careful and
accurate addressing of holiday ship
ments, Mr.. Frame points out, much
delay in delivery can be avoided.
When a shipment is started right its
prompt handling and delivery is prac-
tically assured, he said. The need for
giving the full street name and mum.

shipments are going TO consignees in

LITTLE THEATER-"Moon OF

Moon Of Israel" the elaborate film
story Of biblical days in old Egypt,
which drew enthusiastic fans for "bet-
ter pictures" last week at the Little
Theater, is held over for a second
week to be shown through Friday of
this week.
The production was made in France
and on the Nile with cast of French
film players headed by Maria Corda,
who will shortly make her American
film debut in the film version of
"Helen of Troy" and Arlette Marchal,
already seen in several American pro-
ductions.
The picture was built upon the story
by Sir H. Rider Haggard which deals
with the glorious days of the over
throw Of the Pharaoh domination by
the children of Israel and the title is
that of the leading character, a beau
tiful Isrealite slave girl called Moon
Of Israel" whose love for Seti, an
Egyptian prince, brings down the
wrath Of her own people and Pharaoh.
The production is made on an enor-
nous and elaborate scale and is said
to be as near authentic in detail to
historic lore as months of careful re-
search and study of ancient times
could make it.

in the sand dunes Of the Sahara, in
which the setting of desert life with
French and Arab soldiery are up
roariously burlesqued. Bebe Daniels
is cast as Zaida, adopted daughter of
an Arab sheik friendly to the French.
AS she is of Spanish birth and
Christian, he bids her choose a hus-
band from among group OF French
officers. This she does. selecting
handsome young officer played by
Richard Arlen. But he doesn't think
so much of the idea, having already
sweetheart. Then begins the female
"sheiking" episode. All Zaida does
is to kidnap him. transport him to
her desert palace and set out to make
him love her. OF course, this thread
Of plot provides many 1udicrous sit
Iations which have been exploited to
the fullest extent as laugh-producers.
There is a deal of good comedy pro-
vided by two young Americans who are
wandering through the Sahara wastes
as movie photographers, and by VIII.
liam Powell, who is the butt of most
of the comedy, in his role as Kada,
desert rebel leader. Some good sword
play is exhibited in an encounter be-
tween Kada and Zaida, in which Miss
Daniels reveals herself quite adept
at the art of fencing. Wise cracks
are flashed in the subtitles, and pro-
ducers are evidently depending more
and more on these subtitles to help
bring the laughs.
The stage presentation introduces La
Bernica and company in a number of
varied dances, ranging from the
graceful steps Of crinoline days to
the "Black Bottom" of the modern
jazz age. There is also a "Collegians"

which completes a highly entertain

Since the success that may be at
tributed to the Nationals Vanities
rests upon them, record should be
made here of what these men do.

me to come and long after laughter
strained sides are restored to nor

And the 1.-TWO Black Crows" are in
this show When one has seen Charles
Mack and George Moran sitting on
the rock pile in prison denim, and has
heard Mr.. Mack drawl through his
lines in a way that makes the au-
dience as whole want to loll down in
it's seat, lazy-like, one is more than
ready to sit through anything that
may follow in anticipation of their
locomotive scene in the second act.
And they'd be rewarded, too. These
gentlemen are masters of their art,
initiating none and introducing much.
AS relief in the stretches between
the entertaining masculine oases, there
were CLEANS of dancing, singing and
showgirls that seemed something more
than mere mirages. Among those re-
sponsible for this relief was Maxine
Stone, whose dancing was delight.
Isabelle Mohr sang well, notably I'm
the Twilight" and later in duet with
Brian Mcdonald. Mozell Ransom, who
was "Miss Dallas" in the 1927 beauty
pageant, gave the presentation its
chief claim to lovely femininity.
In the heralded 'Silver Chandelier"
and 1.-THE Mirror of Vanities" the
colorful gorgeousness gave way to
confusing connections which came
dangerously near to tawdriness. a
more successful scene of the spectacu-
larly intended group was found in
Climbing the Ladder of Love-" in
which color and design were harmoni-
Gus counterparts.
On the whole. the show as presented
last night is well deserving of it's two
and half hours, aside from the
chorus and scenery. because Of the
scenes and skits in which the Two
Black Crows, julius Tanney and
Johnny Dooley appear.
