“Commandments”
Is Christmas Fare
At The Nomerama
The management of the Nome
rama is pleased to announce that
it has secured the famous DeMille
production, “The Ten Command
ments” for showing during the
Christmas holiday.
Every year the Nomerama
plans for the showing of an out
standing film for Nome audiences
during the Christmas holiday, and
this year has gone to great ex
pense to have the Ten Command
ments shipped here in time for the
holidays.
When audiences see the thun
daring chariot army of Pharoah
Rameses II perish in the raging
waters of the Red Sea as the flee
ing Israelite multitude crosses
safely over, they will be watching
the wizardry of Oscar-winner
John P. Fulton answer screen
history’s greatest challenge to the
special effects man. '
The extraordinary sequence,
with its enormous problems of
creating the towering walls of
water, fuming waves, blasting
wind and scurrying clouds, took
three years to execute and $1,000,
000 of the mammoth film’s $13,
000,000 total cost. Combined with
master showman DeMille’s hand
ling of extras and thousands of
livestock, the scene is the climac
tic moment of the most immense
spectacle ever made.
Fulton’s weird wares have an
other dramatic display in the
DeMille masterwork, which is to
be shown Christmas at Nomerama.
The depiction of the historic clash
between Moses, the man of God,
played by Charlton Heston, and
Rameses, the tyrant, portrayed by
Yul Brynner, is backgrounded by
the creeping green mists, blood
red rivers and flaming hail of
Fulton’s scripture-based version
of the Plagues.

the Merchants at their last meet

contest.
