...they would attempt the trip again. Unknown to history, even in legend the Queen of Sheba emerges only as a resplendent traveler to the court of Solomon. In varying forms the Bible, Koran and Talmud all tell the tale. According to I Kings 10, she came to Solomon with lavish gifts, considerable skepticism and many hard questions. When she saw his wisdom, his piety, his house, his banquet table, his servants and their apparel, she renounced her skepticism and "there was no more spirit in her." From that lack of spirit, according to Abyssinian legend, sprang the line of Abyssinia...

...about $1,000,000. Anna Sten had to be taught English before production could begin. A version of the picture directed by George Fitzmaurice was scrapped, after being two-thirds finished, because it was over-conscientiously acted. As a build-up for Anna Sten United Artists launched a lavish advertising campaign consisting of daily newspaper "teasers"-Sten portraits with no text except her name and one word to describe her varying expressions ("Mysterious," "Fascinating," "Glamorous," "Worldly," "Captivating"). Last week Greek Catholic Archpriest Nicholas Kedroff, Dean of St. Nicholas Russian Cathedral in Manhattan, led his congregations in a prayer that Anna...
