1923? You mean there was a Ten Commandments epic before Charlton Heston did the role in the 50’s?

I saw The Ten Commandments at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles about 30 years ago. An organist, playing a big theater organ, provided the music. It is one of my favorite films of all time.

Some of the scenes from The Ten Commandments were shot at the Saints Peter and Paul Church, a large Catholic church in San Francisco's North Beach district, while it was under construction.

There also was a 1925 Ben Hur silent, starring Francis X Bushman.
Not directed by deMille, however.

there was or is in the California desert a full-scale reproduction in bamboo or wood, I believe, of a Japanese navy FLEET which was used in aircraft attack practice during world war 2.
Somewhere around Palmdale or Scotty’s castle.

I used to live in that area. The Sphinx and movie set were discovered at least 25 years ago. — the find was covered in the media at the time. It’s taken this long to turn it into a tourist attraction.
