CLASS 8— Dramas 189
and there ensues one of the most ardent love scenes ever produced on the silver screen.
For many days Jether lives in a Paradise of which Tisha is the Goddess Supreme.
Then comes the day when Jether's gold is gone, and he is conscious of Tisha's waning love. Driven to desperation he goes to the gaming tables and tries to redeem his fortune with loaded dice. He is discovered and thrown from the gaming room.
That same night, in the midst of a great feast to Ishtar, Tisha orders the gates of the temple thrown open and the populace invited to drink and be merry.
As the pagan revelry, the like of which has not been known since the days of Babylon, is at its height, it is suddenly interrupted by the long-prophesied destruction of the wicked city.
Probably no other scenes in the history of motion pictures are more spectacular than these which depict the destruction of the Temple of Ishtar.
This excerpt was prepared especially for showing at club meetings, lodges and smokers. It contains the most voluptuous scenes eliminated from the Library version of "The Wanderer," together with duplicates of some retained. Exquisitely beautiful, awe-inspiring, and sublimely grand.

8159 Code SEKUR "The Pony Express" Param(;unt
Featuring Ricardo Cortez, George Bancroft, Ernest Torrence and
Betty Compson
A vivid, thrilling story of those turbulent days just prior to the election of President Lincoln, when California was hesitating between North and South.
The exciting inauguration of the pony-express service, and the progress of that first trip westward across the Rockies, will thrill every beholder. Another highlight is an attack upon Julesburg by a band of Indians and the rescue by a regiment of soldiers after the Indians had fired the town.
Every effort has been made to produce an authentic picture. Historical data were obtained from the Congressional Library, and from the state libraries of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and California. In addition, hundreds of historic relics, souvenirs and rare properties of all kinds were used to faithfully carry out the atmosphere of pioneer days.
In this production is again seen the master hand of James Cruze, director of "The Covered Wagon." Like its predecessor, "The Pony Express" faithfully depicts a crucial period in our national life and a thrilling historic episode. It is sustained in effort, patriotic in conception and heroic in execution.
