NOTED HISTORICAL SPECTACLE,
-QUEEN OF SIIEBA, AT
THE KEITH
Manager Hawley is announcing the
Queen of Shoba for the Keith this
week. Throughout tho oast a hundred
legends and traditions, mostly unwrit
ton, keop allvo the memory of tho
great queen who camo from tho south'
and won Solomon's heart. Her fame
in Asia Is beyond that of Cleopatra
and that of Helen of Troy, In splto of
the fact that Cleopatra had Shako
spearo and Helen had Homer to sing
their praises, whllo Sheba's lovo for
until now has been immortalized in
tho written word. Yet for proof of her
strong influence on King Solomon,
and, through him, probably on the
wkolo of history, ono must turn to
tho Songs of Solomon, which accord
ing to commentators, contain many
passages which can refor only to tho
Queen of Shoba. Tho plcturo is highly
praised by those who have seen it on
account of its beauty and historical
accuracy.
