1 The day of the million-dollar movie
spectacle-drama has returned. And,
as far as Hollywood is concerned,
prosperity has at last managed to
get around that mythical corner,
i Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Sign of the
Cross,” a spectacle of pagan Rome
in the days of Nero, last of the
Caesars, was the picture which did
the trick. Like DeMille’s “The Ten
Comamndments” and “The King of
Kings,” “The Sign of the Cross,”
which comes tonight at 11 p. m., and
Sunday and Monday, to the Titus
Theatre, was produced on a gigantic
scale, with thousands of players, oiab-
orate settings and all the other fea-
tures that run up bills, but stun the
audiences into awed delight in the
magnificence they are beholding.
| Nearly 7,500 persons made up the
cast of “The Sign of the Cross.”
These include Fredric March, Elissa
Landi, Claudette Colbert, Charles
Laughton, and others in leading roles
and thousands of “extras” who ap-
pear in Roman street scenes and in
the arena in which Nero stages his
bloody games. I
Practically the entire Paramount |
ranch, comprising several score acres
! of land near Hollywood, was con- j
verted into a section of the City of j
Rome as it was in Nero’s day. Streets,
public squares and houses were dup- I
J licated from research based on sev- 1
; eral hundred years of excavations in
i the Imperial City. These settings
i were later destroyed by fire, when
i DeMille filmed Nero’s burning of
' Rome.
I An elaborate Roman bath, in which
j Miss Colbert, as the empress, is pho
itographed during the course of hei
! ablutions, was constructed from blue-
j prints and charts of baths uncovered
in recent excavations.
Most elaborate of all the settings
was a duplication of the Circus Max-
imus, a huge amphitheatre which for
several hundred years was the scene
of the bloody gladiatorial combats and
chariot races in which the Roman
populace delighted. A huge struc-
ture, the original Circus Maximus
i seated 150,000 persons. DeMille built
1 a section of the grandstand large
enough to seat the 7,500 extras, as
well as the entire 90,000-square-foot
arena in which the games were actual-
ly conducted.
Interior settings, duplicates of sec-
tions of Nero’s famed Palace of Gold,
and of houses of wealthy patricians,
were built in the studios. These were

Good news travels
fast!
BAD News used to have the reputation for speed.
But such is the demand for the good things of life to-
day that good news travels even faster.
The earriers of many of the good tidings that ev-
ery one is eager to hear are right before you. They are
the advertisements in this paper. They bring good
news about soap and cereals, sedans and cigarettes.
Good news for the housewife. Good news for the bu-
siness man. Good news for every one who believes in
comfort and happiness.
Let an automobile maker in Detroit or an orange
grower in Florida develop a finer product. You will
hear about it—not in a couple of years, not just “some
time.” The whole new story will be rushed to you on
the wings of the greatest good-news service in the
world—advertising.
Advertisements are filled with the kind of good
words you like to find. They tell you of new prod-
ucts, new improvements in a well-known merchandise,
new values and new ways to increase your well-being.
And always they tell you not only where and how to
purchase goods of assured merit, but also the way to
be certain of obtaining 100 cents’ worth of value for
every dollar you spend. Read them—and get their
news regularly! *
