Produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille who considered it his greatest effort, the film depicts the events of the New -Testament of the Bible. SInce its release over 50 years ago, half a billion people have viewed this film and its subtiUes have been translated Into 23 languages. Missionaries have taten prints In canoes up the Ganges River in India and Into the Congo region of Africa. DeMille had become finnly established as the foremost director of spectacular films. He dared to Invent new techniques, sometimes with unfavorable criticism. The most controversial aspect of ''King of Kings" was DeMille's casting of a person (H. B. Warner) as ChrIst, rather than relying on ligtit, shadows and camera tricks as had been done prl... to that time. Some of DeMille's critics felt that it was preswnptuous of anyone to assume the role of a deity. Vet the film made an impact immediately upon its release. The cast included many who would later become famous Hollywood stars. One Is William J;!oyd, famous now as the cowboy hero "Hopalong Cassidy," who portrays Simon in the film. Boyd never forgot the part of Simon that he portrayed in Ibis DeMille epic and credited the role as the start of his long film career, Because "King of Kings" Is a silent film, many have never had an opportunity to hear and experience the effect of the theater organ in adding to the emotional impact. To provide this experience, Rex Koury of the Sacramento area will be present to play the Allen organ at the NWC Chapel during the showing of the film. Koury has a wide musical background and at age 17 was billed as the "world's youngest professional organist." No admission will be charged, but for those wishing to contribute a free-will of- fering will be taken. A reception for Koury Is planned In the East Wing of the All Faith Chapel following the showing of "King of Kings." YMCA plans annual deanup tomorrow In Kern Regional Park The Indian Wells Valley YMCA will hold its annual cleanup project starting tomorrow morning at 9 at Kern Regional Park. The area to be cleaned up is the high school access road between China Lake Blvd.,and Burroughs High School.

All YMCA Indian Guides, Indian Maidens, Trail Maidens, Trail Blazers and their families and friends are invited to participate. Plastic trash bags for the cleanup and refreshments for all participants will be provided by McDonald's Restaurant.
