Climactic scene of the pageant was Moroni's appearance, in the form of an angel, to Joseph Smith, 17-year-old son of an upstate farmer, which Smith reported in 1823. Moroni, he said, told him about the tablets and informed him that he had been appointed by God to lead the world back to the true church. Joseph translated the tablets (said to be about eight inches square and covered with fine writing in "reformed Egyptian") with the aid of a pair of spiritual spectacles buried with them; the spectacles consisted of two stones called Urim and Thummin...

The oak tree where King Heinrich holds court was reduced to a circular cluster of painted branches...
...Captain from Koepenick (Real-Film; D.C.A.) is a dandy German joke that manages to be only intermittently funny. Now undergoing its third version as a movie, the film is derived from a 1931 play by Carl (The Blue Angel) Zuckmayer, who co-authored the present screenplay. It is the story of a lonely, jobless German shoemaker whose drab world turns into a fairyland of wealth, popularity and authority as soon as he dons the dashing and highly illegal uniform of an army captain...
