Visit the Industrial Cinema!

Visitors to the Empire Exhibition should not fail to see the film "The Land of Pro- mise" which will be shown at the Indus- trial Cinema (situated just within the main tram entrance and adjoining the arena).

THE ESROG

By Philip M. Raskin

The Day of Atone1uent is over;

..11.11 father brought home a frnit;

HiH eyes, like the eyes of a lo1;er, ..

Spoke in eloquence mule . . He showerl us the fruit that iua.'l

glea1r<ing

With Bheen of a. tropiccil sta·r, Of which the race is still drea.ming

F'rorn home lo tid long e . .;iled and fcir.

And never waB valued a jewel

A.~ dear as the fruit was to lzirn- A value the centuries cruel

Could neither efface nor bedh;~.

I dr,·eam~ oj t.lle rill.c; ond the foim- toms,

That wa te1 ed the citron of yore;

The plainH, and the vale15, and tl11' nwuntains,

T1iat bloRsomlf.ss, blo8som the more . . .

I looked at m.11 father, caressing

Th·~ fruit f hat bejewelled his f ea.<.:t, And mutel.11 my hew t sent a blessing To Zion-the Queen of the East.
