This year, however, after an upset loss to Colgate, 14 to 6, the Blue has come along in a frightening manner. Two weeks ago, it crushed a good Penn team, 40 to 7, and last week, in a game which has had Harvard fans shuddering all week, the Elis blasted Princeton, 42 to 20.

After effectively banishing God from the story of Moses, deMille fills His place with all manner of things. Foremost among them is the much-vaunted deMille "magnificence."

For a while the two showmen get in each other's way, though eventually they set each other off. This is partly owing to an accomplished cast, including Glynis Johns, Burgess Meredith and Eli Wallach...
