Though numerous authorities nre
listed for the story, Miss Virginia Tracy
seems to have relied mostly on that su
preme authority, the fancy. The tale
relates liow the Quern of Sheba went to
Solomon's court to learn wisdom, fell in
love with him, left him to avoid war
with Egypt, and later sought to recover
her son when Solomon's brother, Adonl
Jah, plotted to do away with him in the
customary Oriental style. The picture
:'Ht.inalIy sounded a modern note,
such hh tho ironic phase that Solomon,
noted for having so many wives, couldn't
marry the . real woman he wanted?
though one Imagines the real folomon
would have done otherwise.
None of the principals made them
selves up facially to suggest the Etst-^
they weren't even sunburned. Miss
Bet* ><'ythc played the Queen with a
s roiiu sense of the regal, and was some-:
times tragic In Jhe Dorothy Dalton mm- j
ner. But she didn't have to worry much i
about her costumes, striking as they 1
were. Frits Lelber played the King In I
a fine, stately fashion that made one'
forget he wasn't always living up to his I
reputation for wl.-dom. The remainder
of the company was excellently cast and !
directed.
