Jacqueline Logan, who plays the role of Mary Magdalene, compares her limousine with the ancient mode of locomotion, and decides she is glad she lives in the present century.
WE are going to the Promised Land, my dear !" I enthusiastically told my. girl friend, who was to travel with me to the Holy Land that very day. "Just so I can take my evening gown and vanity case with me, I don't mind," she responded. Nothing impresses the youth of to-day !
Not to keep you in suspense, this particular "Holy Land" was located near the isthmus on Catalina Island. It was the location for Cecil De Mille's "The King of Kings."
"Pilgrims to the Holy Land never had so easy a time as we are having," remarked my friend, as she and I and the publicity man who was acting as our guide stepped into the little cabin sitting room of the big steamer which was to take us across the channel to the island. "But isn't there," she went on, "always a priest on a pilgrimage?"
Yes, and here he was ! He was Father D. E. Lord, and he was going over to assist Mr. De Mille in certain matters of historical and religious detail in connection with "The King of Kings," and was to say Mass on the set on the following morning, which would be Sunday. The very first time, I believe, that a Mass had ever been said on a motion-picture set.

At Avalon, the little summer-resort village of the
island, we were transferred to a motor boat, in which we traveled down the bright waters of the sunny Catalina coast toward the isthmus. The tiny isthmus harbor reached, little was to be seen to indicate that we were approaching the Holy Land. There were just a huge tent city, an old government garrison building, half hidden in the many trees which beautified the place, a big, low building used as a commissary, and a picturesque home on the side of a wooded hill. In the calm harbor were Mr. De Mille's trim yacht, a picturesque old Spanish galleon which Doug Fairbanks had used in "The Black Pirate," an old ship which James Cruze had used in "Old Ironsides." and a coughing, chugging motor boat or two.
We clambered into another motor boat which carried us around the finger of land into
