'The Ten Commandments,' 70 years old, has this North Jersey connection

Pompton Lakes is not the Red Sea. And North Jersey is not North Africa — where Cecil B. DeMille and his cast of thousands restaged the exodus from Egypt, on location, in his supreme blockbuster, "The Ten Commandments." Yet the fingerprints of New Jersey are all over the 1956 movie classic, which celebrates its 70th anniversary on Nov. 8. "The Ten Commandments" is one of the few old Hollywood movies that still command a following today: On ABC it is still a prime-time holiday tradition during the Passover season. It was in the pews of the original Christ Episcopal Church that DeMille would have first heard the story of Moses, the Pharaoh of Egypt, the enslaved children of Israel, the parting of the Red Sea, and the giving of The Law. Possibly even from the mouth of his own father, Henry de Mille — a lay preacher there. "I can remember going Sunday after Sunday to church with my father and listening to him preach," DeMille said in one interview.

Academy museum’s real deficit

When Philadelphia officials argue about what a museum costs the public, a single number can travel farther than the paperwork behind it. At a City Council hearing, speakers cited a $4.4 million shortfall for the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. Documents later placed the 2025 gap at $960,000. That distance between a hearing figure and a ledger figure is the Academy museum deficit in its most political form: not only red ink, but a fight over which red ink the city is being asked to believe.
