Lyric, has already attained the musical comedy record of the seanon and It la now likely that the tanner long runs for several years past will he exceeded by thin diverting nnd dainty entertainment. A balanced ar tistry of book, lyrics, stnglnjr and Inter pretation la largely rertonlblo for thin deserved success. Oooil tasto nlso lias its InnliiRS, for "Oh, Boy!" In precisely what It nlms to be a farce with music, whose Interruptions wem loKtttm.ito and flttlnsr. None of the many bright scores which Jerome Kern has written are breeiler or moro felicitously orchestrated than this one. There arc substantial Indications that the piece "111 run at the I.yrlc until .Tune. It opened here, with the nrlt,'ln,il New York company, during" Kaeter week. D. W, flrimth. producer of "Hearts of the World." at the Oarrlck Theatre, paid a price for his leal In photographing actual war scenes for his photoplay. On one occasion he was Injured In the arm by a piece of shrapnel, and at an other time he narrowly escaped being In the spot at which a German shell made a tremendous crnter. It Is a mat ter of record that (IrlflHh when ho was in the trenches making photographs, with tho leading people In his drama as soldiers, was at Tasschendaele nidge. Other pictures were made In that much mispronounced city Yprea. Ten visits were made by OrlfTHh to Ypres. nnd the scenes ho photographed have the real flavor. Just outside the Flemish town stood the big guns that are to be seen In action In "Hearts of the World." Doubtless thoie guns have now been placed In some new position. lOVTfi , Jt , 1 m -LLw Ut aaV tB iLtH LHiLv aH LH vl I af Laaaf ' VLat aaaa.

SWINTON WHO INVENTED THE BRITISH "TANKS" SAYS: "I was told by the British War Office to see Mr. Griffith's pic ture, 'Hearts of the World.' Mr. Griffith is a wonderful play wright. The war scenes in the picture are much better than we have over in England. Those in 'Hearts of the World' are much better than I supposed could be secured, as it is ex tremely difficult to photograph except under very great danger. Words fail to describe the cruelty nnd barbarity of the Huns. What you see in 'Hearts of the World' can be multi plied' a thousand fold, and yet it would be too mild." Signed statement by Maj.-Gcn. E. D. Swinton, of the British Army, the genius who invented the "Tanks." THE SWEETEST LOVE STORY EVER TOLD A ROMANCE OF THE GREAT WAR Thousands of People Turned Away This Week JUDGE FINLETTER, in Court, Said: "This is a great patriotic offering, calculated to inspire patri otism. We arc engaged in the business of killing Germans, and 'Hearts of the World' will tell every young man why we are in this War on the side of Humanity and Civilization."
