Rock of Gibraltar Has

AAA6 ~ 49,
The Rock of Gibraltar is nearly
three miles long. a mile wide and
l.400 feet high. A narrow isthmuS
connects 1t with the Spanish main
land On top Of the height Of Gil
brsltar stands a tower. called
O'Hara Folly. because Of the belief
Of the Irish officer who built 1t that
from the top he could look far over
the horizon and observe the Spanish
feet in the harbor Of Cadiz.
Though cadiz Is too far away to
see. the views from O'Hara'S tower
are among the grandest In the
world. overlooking Europe and AZ
RIGA, and embracing two seas dot
ted with ships from every nation on
the earth.
The general idea Of Gibraltar Is
that it stands at the line where the
Mediterranean sea meets the Allan
tic ocean. Instead it Is 20 miles
or more inland from the Atlantic.

Gus career Of sieges for about 100
years, and then was regained by
Spain In 1862.
Some years later the MoorS
gained temporary possession. but
Queen Isabella. who reigned at the
time, would not admit defeat and
took her seat outside the fortress,
vowing she would not leave until
the Spanish Gag again should fioat
over the citadel AS she persisted
in remaining at her post and as
the Moorish general was a gallant
gentleman, he ordered the Spanish
flag raised for a short time, thus
releasing the queen from her pledge.
Later. however. the Spaniards re-
gained possession
Sir George Brooke, English ad-
miral. won Gibraltar from Spain in
l704, taking in three days what
Spain had fought three centuries to
gain.

HISTORICAL FILM
ENDING TONIGHT
ATCApIT0L SHOW
Marie Antoineffe" Seen
at Local Theatre Star
ring Norma Shedrer

Norma Shearer. whose courage
has won for her the respect and adj
miration of a world that hailed with
enthusiasm her decision to resume
a brilliant career, returns to the
screen in Marie Antoinette,' the
spectacular picture ending tonight
at the Capitol Theatre.
With Tyrone Power as her co-star
for the first time, Miss Shearer
brings to life the glamorous and
fascinating Antoinette, a role she
has waited four years to play.
History has written no more ten
derby romantic or grimly tragic
episode than that of the little Haps-
burg Archduchess whose marriage
to Louis August, Dauphin of France,
changed the course of empires. The
powerfully dramatic character role
Of Louis is played by Robert Morley
who was discovered in London after
a years search.
A happy and carefree girl, Antoin-
cite looked forward to her wedding
as the supreme adventure. She left
for Paris in high spirits soon to be
disillusioned by her meeting with
Louis, stupid, physically unattrac-
tive, terrified by marriage he did
not want.
Denied the love of husband and
friends she could trust and sur
rounded by enemies in the Palace
of Versailles, Antoinette determined
to find happiness no matter what
the cost She became the gayest,
most extravagant woman in France.
She gave lavish parties, lost for
tunes at the gaming tables and
welcomed d erous flirtations.
Then Antoinette met Fersen. They
fell desperately in love, love that
as a Queen, Antoinette had to
deny. But through the later years
it was Fersen's love and his coura-
geous efforts to save Marie Antoih-
cite from the guillotine that provid-
ed one of history's most beautiful
love stories.
