CHRIST'S ENTRY
into JERUSALEM
SHOWN IN FILM VERSION OF
"BEN-HUR" IN NATUR-
AL COLORS

In the perturbation of General
Lew Wallace's famous novel and
stage play, "Ben-Hur," coming to
the Liberty Theatre Dec. A., 5 and
6, with matinee Dec. 4th, a singu.
laFly fine conception of the entry
of Christ into Jerusalem on Palm
Sunday was filmed in technicolor
by Director Fred Niblo for the
Metro-G spectacle.
The entry of Christ into Jerusa-
lem was handled very delicately,
though, impressively. The face of
the Christ is lever visible. 1t is
Swallowed and hidden by branches
of a palm. AS He enters through
the Joppa Gate, a huge structure
built in Rome, Italy, along the
lines of the original Joppa Gate
of Jerusalem through which the
Christ is said to have entered the
city some 1900 years ago, the en-
thusiam of several thousand peo-
pie breathlessly waiting the com
ing of the Messiah rose to a cres-
cendo.
An excellent cast of screen play
ers enact the principal roles. Ra-
mon Novarro plays the part of
Ben-Hur, May McAvoy is seen as
Esther and Carmel Myers as Iras,
the exotic vampire.

LESSONS FROM NATURE

Take a hint from Mother Nature
in planning color effects in your
clothing. Bright colors in small
areas are used with dull colors
such as are most easily worn by
the average person, to give inter
est and accent. Greys, green's,
browns, tans, and soft blues are
used for backgrounds frequently,
while a touch of red, orange, vivid
blue or purple may be sufficient to
brighten up the whole effect. To
tell whether a color is becoming
to you, select material of different
eolors and drape them over your
shoulders so you a study the eff
feet.
