! “QUEEN OF SHEBA" biG
I FEATURE AT LIBERTY
“Queen of Sheba,” a William Fox
super-special directed by J. Gordon
Edwards, came to the Liberty last
night and is on for the last showing
tonight. It created a profound im
pression upon the first night audi
ence, and bids fair to prove the most
talkeil-of photodrama of the season.
Tlie pageantry attending the ar
rival of the Queen of Sheba at the
court of King Solomon, which has
held its placo for centuries in song
and story as supremelyl magnificent,
is visualized in the picture drama in
!a manner completely satisfying to
nil.
There is scene after scene of
great beauty and magnificence in
"Queen of Sheba”—the marriage fes
| tival at the court of Kiug Armud,
! the arrival at Solomon’s court, the
! day of races and games, including
i the chariot race between the Qut*en
| of Sheba and the Princess Vashti;
j the arrival of David, son of Solo
; mon, the little Prince of Sheba; the
I battle between the forces of Sheba;
the battle between the forces of Sol
omon and Adon.ijah, and tho pathetic
final departure of the Queen of
Sheba for her own realm.
Betty Blythe is a voluptuously
royal and beautiful Queen of Sheba,
land enacts the exacting role im
pressively, besides showing great
daring and skill in the chariot race;
Fritz Lie-bar, the noted Shakespear
can actor, is an effective Solomon;
Veil Craig is the Princess Vashti;
George Seigmann is King Armud. and
(Claire de Lorez is Queen Annirath,
j wife of Solomon.

I infection of the mouth, the result of

I fight, has since kept the champion
out of active competition.
New Match Likely
Charley White, hard-hitting Chica
goan, established himself as one of
Leonard's most formidable rivals
and may be matched with the cham
pion in the near future. White's
latest and most impressive triumph
was his knockout of Richie Mitchell
of Milwaukee, in the lftth round of a
15-round contest.
Officially Dempsey’s heavyweight
title was at stake once during the
year in a four-round encounter with
a middleweight sparring partner,
Jimmy Darcy, at Buffalo, X, Y., in
July, but there was little risk ic
volved. Tile New York State Ath
letle Commission ruled that und ir
the boxing statutes a decision must
be rendered, and Dempsey willingly
complied with the technicality, re
ceiving the official verdict.
Dempsey-Willa Bout
J Dempsey also formally accepted
the challenge of his dusky rival,
Harry Wills, for a title bout, but that
was as far as negotiations proceeded,
it being agreed that a match could
not.be promoted tr-fore next summer.
| Wills’ prestige gained little from his
I nerformances in several bouts ir.
New York with negro opponents, but
he remained generally regarded as
Dempsey's strongest rival.

NIPPON H-ClpGf
Twenty years ngo Damn, Mir.
churia, was known as “B’a> I*:to
Hollow." A few fishing hntt detti..
its shores and occasionally a h
nese junk found its way in' tl.
harbor. Today Dairen is a mn.r
niont to Western civilisation Hi; <
F Marcosson in a recent edition of
the Saturday Keening Post, refers
to it as the “Wonder City of the
Orient.” Dairen is the business
metropolis of Manchuria and
bustles with commercial and indus
trial activities. The population has
increased from a negligible figure
to nearly 150,000 people. The vis
itor to this modernized Oriental
city is greeted by broad avenue;
lined with shade trees, restful
parks, beautiful public buildings,
an electric street car system an /
many other civic improvements.
The Yamato Hotel, one of the finest
hotels in the Far East, is lecateo
here. The city of Dairen was or
iginally laid oat. in the shape of a
wheel. Seven great avenues rudi
ate from n hub which is known as
Central Plaza, und is used as a
| civic center.
Dairen is the southern terminus
of the South Manchuria Railway
and the modernization of the eitv
is the lesult of the progressive
policy of the railway. It Pas a
. harbor unequalled any place else
in the Orient. Sixteen years ago it
ranked forty-second among Chinese
ports in the amount of trade. Now
j it is the second largest Chinese
port in volume of trade, only being
! exceeded by Shanghai. Dairen has
another advantage which is not en
joyed by any other port in north
China in that traffic is not stopped
during the winter months by ice.
The harbor cover* approximately
S20 acres and has every facility for
the efficient docking of steamers
and handling cargo. There are 73
warehouses within the wharf com
pound with a capacity cf 400,000
ton*. The wharf administration is
. under the management of the
South Man-hurla Railway ami
t verything is done to facilitate the
' ship of cargo.
The trade of D~iren has shown
j Lremendou:: increases. Iri the
' total exports were 440,£39 tons 'n
Midi they amounted to 3,250.774
tons. The mi|x>rts for 008 wets
330,927 tons and tb • imports for
1921, 763,077 tons. 'The total trade
for the last three years has aver
aged more than four million tons.
The principal exports tire soya
! beans, bean oil, bean cake, cereals
and coal and the imports railway
material, machinery, cotton (roods
j and kerosene oil. Twice the amount
, of goods are imported to Dairen
from the United States ns an ex
| ported from Dairen to the United
| States. In 1913 only one American
! steamer called at Dairen, while in
' 192) fifty-one American vessels
totalling a gross tonnage of 294,-04
| tons called at Dairen. The total
number of steamers arriving at
I Dairen for 1921 was 2,806
