Ten Commandments Is Coming To Syracuse The Ten Commandments, the biggest production in the history of the screen, is coming to the Pickwick Theatre in Syracuse for several weeks beginning Wednesday 20 November, ber. ’ Cecil -B. DeMille, whose motion pictures have been seen by one and a half times the population of the entire world, produced and directed this greatest of all film dramatizations. Ten years were spent in planing the production, three years were devoted to research and preliminary exploration, three years were required for preparation and writing of the script and finally, more than two years were spent in the actual ilming. In an address at a luncheon prior to the opening of the production in New York City, Mr. DeMille stated, “What would ordinarily be my share of its earnings I have assigned for all time to a Trust Fund for charitable, religious and educational purposes. “Let me pay tribute to Paramount Pictures Corporation and especially to its top executives, Barney Balaban and Frank Freeman, two brave men who never questioned the cost, although only six motion pictures have ever grossed as much as The Ten Commandments has cost to make. “I could not tell them what it would cost except that it would probably be eight million dollars. They never once questioned any expenditures, though the final cost was nearly twice my original guess.” Hospital News . . . Mrs. George Rockwell was admitted to Goshen General Hospital for medical treatment Tuesday 5 November and was dismissed Friday. Mrs. Fred C. Dust was dismissed from Goshen General Hospital Monday 4 November. Mrs. David Culley was admitted to Alfren Nursing Home at Warsaw Tuesday.

r Atwood’s Greyhounds felt the sting of the “mighty” Syracuse Yellowjackets Tuesday night at Atwood’s gymnasium. Visitors defeated their hosts 83 to 46 in an uneventful game. Atwood marked up the first field goal of the game to put them ahead in the first few minutes of action. However, Jacket’s tremendous playing ability took them ahead to end the first quarter 14 to 6. Yellowjackets, steaming onward during the second and third quarters, continued to rack up points and did terrific rebounding and guarding to hold Atwood’s scoring to 17 points, as they chalked up 43 points, ending the half 36 to 18, with the third quarter score being 57 to 23. In a boring, uneventful, uneven fourth quarter, the Jackets trudged on, with most of the subs playing their hearts out, even tho they were far in the lead. When Atwood’s Claude Good was left open from out on the floor, bang, there goes a basket. Good scored 16 points to be Atwood’s high point man. Marsh, also a good long shot shooter, racked up 10 points for the Greyhounds. Bob Swenson, a junior, again held high point honors for Syracuse with 17 points. Seniors Bill Dorsey, with 16 points, and Jim Denton, with 14 points, held second and third place honors. Delbert Thornburg, altho he played only part of the game, racked up 14 points and did a tremendous job of rebounding and guard work. Only foul out of the game was (continued on page 2) Rotary Club Entertains Syracuse Fire Dept. Members of the Syracuse Fire Department were guests of the Rotary Club Monday evening.
