THRILLING FIRE SCENE IN LATEST FILM Wonderful Spectacle In “Moon Os Israel.” There have been few more thrill ing Films than FBO’s “Moon of Israel." which is soon to appear at. the Concord Theatre. It is a pro duction which deals with the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt, and the romance of Merepi, an Is raelite maiden, and Seti, Prince of Egypt. From beginning to end the picture is crammed with marvelous scenes and startling effects, such as changing of Moses’ rod into a snake, the dividing of the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to pass, and the roaring flames that spring up in the path of the charging Egyptian chariots. This scene in particular is one of the most majestic that has ever been screened. Two thousand chariots with wildly shouting drivers and rearing excited horses charged across the plain to where the cameras are grinding. Then from a trench in the ground springs a curtain of crimson flame. Instant ly there is a chaotic upheaval of frightened horses and drivers, a scene that impresses the watcher as few have done. Michael Curtiz, who directed the picture, has done one of the best pieces of work this year, and the cast as a whole is exceptionally fine. Marin Cord a. Arlette Marchal and Adelqui Millar are splendid in their roles and Henry Mar as Moses deserves great praise. Honor Aliss Yorke Charlotte Observer. Mrs. John F. Yorke ana daughter, Airs. Frank E.

Although it is obvious that the peo ple of Concord and Cabarrus are shopping early, local postal authori ties sire distressed over the lethargic manner in which the populace is mailing Christmas packages. Post master J. F. Harris and Assistant Postmaster S. S. Neal beseech the patrons of the Concordl postoffice to co-operate with them in order that all Christmas stuff may be dispatched in plenty of time to reach its destina tion by Christmas Eve. Beginning tomorrow the United States postoffice department will add several thousand additional employes to expedite delivery of holiday mail, hut even with the extra clerks to avert a jam in delivery it is essen tial that the public co-operate by mailing packages, cards, etc., as early as posible. Besides additional help the United States Post office department will add hurnlrods of extra mail ears to trains throughout the nation. These extra ears will he put into use Saturday. Between Charlotte and Washington 24 extra cars will be in use on trains. To further alleviate the possibilities of a tie-up in mail service Trains Nos. 136 and 45 will carry mail cars on December 18th and 25th. These trains do not carry mail cars on Sun day under ordinary conditions. Assistant Postmaster Neal asks that patrons not only mail their Christmas packages at once but also to wrap "securely as well as plainly address them, giving street number. It is also important that the return ed address be placed on each package. The slogan of the U. S. postoffice throughout the nation is “Help our boys enjoy their Christmas dinner at home.” Air. Neal states that on Monday following Christinas that one full city and rural delivery will be made and windows will be opened at designated hours during the morning hut after noon the postoffice • will be closed hard and tight.
