EVERYBODY’S

“THE KING OF KINGS” The picturisation of the world’s greatest story, that of Jesus Christ, the carpenter of Nazareth, is being shown at Everybody’s Theatre for its last week. The audience receives the presentation with reverence and in a way far removed from others. “The Ten Commandments” set a standard for Biblical pictures, but “The King of Kings” far exceeds it and sets an entirely new standard for future works. It is doubtful if ever again a picture of such appeal and interest will be screened in this generation. The making of the picture has been accomplished with reverence and with sympathy, and is a faithful portrayal of the life of Christ, from the time when He began His ministry. The picture has been severely criticised, mainly on account of the intrigue between Judas and Mary Magdalene, for which there is no written authority. But this criticism is purely a question of opinion and there can be very little criticism of the picture as a picture. Soak chamois leathers, or gloves, for an hour in a weak solution of carbonate of soda: next soak them in soapy water. Rinse in clean water and then wash in water containing some carbonate of soda and soap. Squeeze the leathers gently—do not wring them—and put in a warm place to dry. On no account use hot water at any stage of the proceedings, as this tends to make the leather stiff.
