i never heard about Mr DeMille, but I checked him up today and he produced films between 1914 and 1958. Anyone who knows the slightest bit of history will be aware that the common practice to portray the Luchos as round, pre-dates Cicel, and his great grandparents as well. See what Gotagoodpoint quoted from Rav Shach and others…
Prewar Europe was full of luchos like these on Aron HaKodesh, in the front of seforim etc.
Maybe that too came from less-that-kosher influences ? but Cicel B Demille cannot claim the fame.
