corn" De Mile had to reply
that the term corn" in bibli-
cal times meant the main
cereal crop. In the Holy Land
it meant either wheat or bar
ley.
In "The King of Kings" he
evoked a flood of criticism by
showing Peter paying off the

taken from the mouth of a
fish, after having caught the
fish upon instructions from
Jesus. Lots of people chal-

for a biblical film just as he
has done for THE Ten Com
mandments." Wrote she: If
English was good enough for
our Saviour it ought to be good
enough for you."
Only a small portion of his
letters are challenges, however.
People all over the world like
to write him their emotional
experiences upon seeing his
pictures. One that he treas
ures came from a woman
dying of an incurable disease:
Seeing THE King of Kings
has changed what must hap
pen in a few days from a
terror to a glorious anticipa-
ton"
De Mile, who will be rs when
his filming Of 1.-THE Ten Com
mandments" is seen in 1856,
is confident that it will be q
fitting climax to his long,
successful career. His only
hope, he says, is that he re-
main well and vigorous enough
to finish it. And in this cons
nection, the doctors gave him
