"SALOME" AT COX‘$ PALACE WONDERFUL REPRODUCTION OF OLD BIBLICAL STORY WiLL BE SHOWN AT THE PALACE WITH THEDA BARA AS "SALOME" "Salome," with Theda Bara as the notorious ward of Herod, celebrated in song and story, will begin an engagement extraordinary at Cox‘s Palace Theatre, Wednesday, Feb. | 19th. General attention was first directed to this Scriptural siren, as transple: ed to the stage, when Richard Straus‘ grand opera of that name, with Mary Garden in the title role, was banned at the Metropolitan Opera House af> ter its first performance. Miss Bara‘s proven proficiency as a portrayer of superwomen warrants the assumption that in the character of Salome she, above all others who interpreted the role in one guise or another, reveals the true psychdlogy of this stroug creature of history. further virtue, it is pointed out, is that no undue liberties have been taken with the story for theatric effect. In the main the account given by the great Jewish historian, Josephus, has been faithfully followed. J. Gordon Edwards, under whose direction the screen spetacle was produced, put six months of the hardest kind of concentration on "Balome." He excelled himself in the effective production of ancient architecture, which characterized his previous ef fort, "Cleopatra," it is stated. In the Jerusalem of King Herod‘s day he discovered opportunities for even more sumptuous settings, and the amazing symmetry, opulent color, stately aim: plicity and harmonious Naturally, the famous Dance of the Seven Veils, which cost John the Baptist his head, swings to a crescenof dramatic tensity this vivid story f un age of uncontrolled passions. So it is that even while the spectator admires the grace and daring of the cer, his blood fairly rune cold at " an impersonated by TheBara, is probably the most sinister ret fascinating figure from the blood tained pages of Biblical history that as ever been thrown on the screen. t should be seen by every lover of he cinematographic art and those who lization the human race has made in he last 2,000 years, Due to the unusual interest maniested in Safome which indicates that early every man, woman and child n the country will want to see | it. r Cox has hinted that the enioyment may be extended to two days howing. «»se_MOTION PICTURES OF OUR OWN DIRIGIBLE Manager Cox, of the Palace Theatre secured the latest motion picture ews Weekly in which is included an tem of special local interest, showing e Dirigible Balloon C-3 leaving the aval Air Station here and taking on uel while in the air.

JOIN THE BOY SCOUTS HE GREAT PROBLEM THAT CON FRONTS THE NATION TODA WHAT is CAPE MAY DOING ABOUT IT? During the past few years the word conservation" has become one of the most used words in the English language. We see it in large type on the front pages of our daily newspapers and it is flashed before our eyes on the moving picture screen. . We have been admonished to conserve every thing from "sugar to shoe leather" and yet the great thing, on which-the future of our Country depends, has been sadly neglected-OUR Ho Ca It is tru that the Federal Government has been giving the subject some thought through the War and Agriculture Departments, but this will accomplish very little unless the seed which they have sown, grows and bears fruit in the minds of the mothers and fathers of Cape May. The attitude of the average parent, on this subject, has been that of inbut the boy of today is not the boy of yesterdays. They have advanced with the times and | their | demands must be met. How many fathers know where their boys are spending their time when not at home? . You :t" think you know-but do you know ? | Is it the desire of the people of Cape May that! their boys shall lay the foundations of their haracters-under the board-| Etn some ‘Baek room grinbling pits a game of cards? The solution to this great problem is-to give the boy what he wants but to give it to him under the proper mpervision and in the environment. = The War Department has reommend , (Continued on page 8)
