Laid In the timely scene of a
glamorous . little kingdom ruled
over by a boy, it 'deals with the
political machinations of a wily

And says it. naturally, in a man

ter days. In oar time and place
toe unfortunate shade associates
itself with the disreputable yellow
streaks, yellow journalism, but
once on a time it was worshipped
as almost divine. It now lends It
self to the title of Raoul Walsh's
Fox dramatic sroduction. "The
Yellow Ticket." which opens Its
local engagement Friday at the
Capitol theatre.

yellow was a favorite color of the
gods and men. It still holds favor
in the orient, but among Christian
nations most dislike It cordially.
Havelock Ellis has written one
of his most interesting essays on
this psychology of yellow. He goes
oa to show how the tide toward
yellow changed with the arrival of
Christianity. From being paid di
vine honors it became the badge
of envy and treachery. In pictures
Judas was dressed In it, in France
the doors of felons and traitors
were painted with it, Jews were
forced to wear yellow clothes and
in Spain, recanting heretics wore
yellow crosses and carried a yel
