MERCEDES TOPS BILL
ON CIRCLE STAGE

Ten acknowledgements authors
combined their talents to write 1.-THE
Woman Accused" the Paramount
Liberty Magazine all-star story
which opened today at the Circle,
with Nancy Carroll, Cary Grant,
John Halliday and Louis Calhern
heading its cast.
The authors are Rupert Hughes,
Vicki Baum, Zane Grey, Vina Del
mar, Irwin S. Cobb, Gertrude Ath-
erton, j. P. McEvoy, Ursula Parrot,
Polan Banks and Sophie Kerr.
The action of THE Woman Ac-
cuSed" centers around Miss Carroll,
who, on the eve of her marriage to
Cary Grant, is confronted by a for
mer lover, who demands that she
return to him.
She refuses fatty. Infatuated and

scanty and meager in proportion.
Young White even showed his ambi-
tons then as well as displaying
flash Of the talent which decided
stage career for him.
On his delivery rounds there were
places where music was part of
the daily entertainment Of the men
and women who dropped in for a
bite and bit of libation. The music
always thrilled the youthful mes
senger boy to such an extent he
couldn't keep his feet still. They
seemed to move in perfect time and
rhythm with George improving in
skill and routine as time went on.
He became so clever, graceful and
skillful that his dancing soon COL
leCted a crowd and involuntarily the
pennies and nickels would be tossed
on the floor with White the richer
thereby.
White saw the advantage of
learning to dance differently from
others by creating his own steps.
White became a vaudeville head
diner and from the variety stage he
went into the musical shows. While
he received a handsome stipend for
his work he had yen for produc-
ing. An opportunity came when a
big booking circuit wanted a big
musical revue as a competitive pro-
position to an opposing system
which more or less had the Broad
way field to itself. George White as
a producer was a success from the
start.
His knowledge of the stage as we'll
as knowing what the audiences
wanted, made it easy to lay out the
type of Whily-g irly, fast-moving
musical revues which have made
White famous as the producer of his
line Of Scandals" shows.
White has shown daring, iudp-
ment and ingenuity in the produc-
ing of his shows which have en-
abled him to turn out one success
after another.
1t is an amazing story; a story
that can be proved every foot of the
way wherein George White went
from a poor boy status to one of
the highest inches in Broadway
fame, namely that as its foremost
musical show producer.

MODERN NOTE

A distinct note Of modern

might be called "contempor-

In England there is no tax on

rentable value of the property,

THE BIBLE
~ NE Of the oldest of all books Is

In a sense the Bible Is not q single
book but a collection of books. In a
standard Protestant version, 66 books
are included, while another version, ap-
proved by the Catholic Church, con-
tains 70 books.
If you could 60 back 1000 years in
time and visit Jerusalem, you might
talk with priests of the Jewish faith;
and they might show you rolls of
papyrus containing sacred writings
handed down by the fathers of their
race. These writings, you would find.
were in Hebrew; and If they were trans
lated for you, you would see that they
were almost exactly like the Old TeSta-
ment of the Christian Bible. The
Jewish priests might show you other
writings composing the book known as
the Talmud.
The Old Testament makes up by far
the larger part of the Bible. 1t con-
tains accounts Of many events in the
history Of the Jewish people, as well
as the Song of Solomon" and other
beautiful poetic passages.
The Old Testament was translated
into Greek at an early date, and Greek
was the language In which much Of the
New Testament was first written.
Until the printing press came into
use in Europe, the writings in the Bible
were saved from century to century by
men who copied them down by hand

changed into Latin words.
