LITTLE GIRLS
EASTER BRINGS
|LONGINGS TRUE

Martha Anne AIeSSi, 4-year-Old
AleSsi, thought the words and
picture of her faVOrite story hook
had really come true last Saturday
when she saw tiny jackrabbit
about the size Of II t'bunny'' play
ing among the Easter eggs and
flowers in the show window OF
the Elite flower shop. Her eyes
grew round and large with wonder
as she saw alive before her in
real life a rabbit just like the
ones she had seen pictured i'm her
story book.
And right then and there her
childish heart went out to that
cute little rabbit, and she wanted
to take it home with her. Three
times saturday Mrs. AleSSi
brought Martha Anne down to the
flower shop to look at the rabbit
and the beautiful Easter eggs.
The last time she had won her
mother over and Winifred Paul,
owner of the shop, gave the r:sb-
bit to Martha Anne. And again
the eyes of little Martha grew
round with wonder and pride as
she became the proud owner of a
real live bunny"
Another and stiIl more pleasant
surprise awaited Martha Anne
when she awaIxeed Easter Sum
day morning. The little rabbit
was hopping about the place pre-
pared for him, and most wonder
fuI of aII-the beautiful Easter
eggs of many bright hueS had
come to the house to be with
the rabbit. Martha Anne was
very happy-She had u real, live
bunny and heaps of beautiful Eas-
ter eggs in her own home.

only three-fourths the required num-

BEN HUR" PACKS
EN- In AT
COLUMBIA

For the second week Fred
Niblo's perturbation of the i'm.
mortal story of Ben Hur con.
tinues to draw record crowds to
Loew's Columbia, where the
adaptation of Gen. Lew Wallace's
great novel Of years gone by is
being shown at popular prices.
The story, covering the period
Of the life Of Christ, is that Of
a beautiful revenge, sublimated
in its climax by the adherence of
the menacing legions Of oppressed
TO the doctrines of peace and love
as taught by the Saviour.
Having as its central motif the
struggles of the Jew under the
unutterable tyrannies OF a pagan
Rome, the picturized narrative
takes young Judah Ben-Hur,
prince of an ancient Jewish FAM
lily, and into his heart and soul
injects the burning determination
for vengeance. The agonies and
miserfes of the people of Ben Hnr;
the remembered lost glory of a
once great Israel, and the indi-
vidual persecution of the young
Jewish prince are magnificently
and adroitly set forth in a mas.
terful manner.
The screen production OF this
wonderful story is rich in realism;
1t is replete with stupendous
scenes Of splendor, SURPRISING
probably all other such presenta.
tons, and certainly standing head.
and-shoulder with the select few
others of the last decade.

" was, but also as one OF re-
markable generosity and strength
Of character. The period of the
early kings Of Israel was a time
when human life was not re-
garded highly. Ethical standards
were low.
Despite his surroundings, David
seems never to have lost his
faith In Jehovah. On the whole,
his life was remarkably free
from the sins and vices of the
time. It is true enough that
during the period OF his exile
from the court he became the
leader Of q band Of men that
were little better than outlaws,
But in this he had no choice.
We see David in his best
aspect when we consider his re-
lations with King Saul. Saul,
his last years clouded with
melancholia, was guilty Of 4
bitter and relentless hatred
bOW&A0 00Ntus -gfg5
David, an exile from the court,
determined to make q night
visit to the camp Of King Saul.
With 3 volunteer named Abishai,
he cautiously made his approach.
Saul and all Of his guards were
sleeping. The spear Of Saul was
beside him, stuck in the ground.
Abishai volunteered to hurl the
spear at Saul. He added the
significant comment that he
would not need to smite him 4
second time. David refused to
consider taking the life Of the
king. But he did take the spesr
and nearby cruise OF water
from Saul, and called to the
camp when he was safely out
Of reach.
Saul, seeing that his life had
been spared. repented for the
time Of his wrath toward David.
Thus David .'overcame evil
with good"
