esting also to learn that Mr. Grif
fith was the first American to en
ter the front-line trenches. This
was, of course, before the United
States entered the world war.
For eighteen long months
players were with Mr. Griffith, and
their stories of suffering are by all
odds the most interesting ever told
by players for the motion picture
camera. As a result of their expe
rience, the two Gish girls were for
a long time almost nepvous wrecks,
while their mother suffered from
hysteria for many weeks after her
return to the United States.
And yet the very surprise of the
Griffith production is the fact that
it is not, in any sense, a war picture.
To the contrary, Mr. Griffith himself
describes his work as "a love story
of the war." It is further stated
that for more than forty minutes aft
er the story begins one sees only a
picture of peaceful, hnppy country

be the masterpiece
of this genius of the motion picture,
surpassing both "The Birth of a Na
tion" and "Intolerance." will be the
attraction at the Orpheum, twice
daily, for one week, commencing Mon
day afternoon. Labor Day.
That "Hearts of the World" has es
tablished a new high record for even
a Griffith production may be gained
from the fact that it is now being
shown in Chicago, New York. Boston.
Philadelphia and other cities upwards
of more than 400 times at $2. prices.
That it is a most unusual ahievement
is evident from the announcement
that David I.loyd George and other
high officials of the British and
French nations not only gave Mr.
Griffith their most hearty co-operation
in the taking of the principal scenes,
but personally appear in the play.
The rpsjc'ty of the scenes in
"Hearts of the World" are described
as great moving paintings that might
have been conceived T>y the world's
greatest artists, their beauty and
grandeur far excelling anything ever
before attempted even by the master
hand of the indomitable Griffith. A
symphony orchestra is a feature of
the offering. It is the Philadelphia
organization that will be seen here.

Cheapest Yet prices, ten and fifteen
cents. "The Birth of a
Nation" is one of the most widely
discussed topics in this country. It
established an absolutely new art in
the realm of the theater—the art of
pantomimic screen spectacle with
music. It also created a tremendous
sensation because of its vaster and
more forceful treatment of the same
theme as Thomas Dixson's "The Clans
man." The consequences of the Civil
War in Southern reconstruction are
fully dealt with, and the nation re
born is apotheosized. Mr. Griffith,
pioneer among directors, managed the
stupendous achievement without the
aid of dialog or speech, for motion
pictures, accompanying music and ef
fects tell the coherent, logical and
moving story.

lies of Europe. Including the Dowager
Queen Alexandria, Violet Asquith and
Lady Dianna Manners.
A powerful object lesson of the
havoc wrought by scandal, when it
rears its ugly slimy head.
At the being no respecter of per-
Vlctorla sons or places is startlingly
shown In "The Scandal-
Mongers." being played at the Vic
toria Theater to-day for the second
and final showing.
The lesson was brought home to
hundreds of people who saw the pic
ture yesterday, and It is a safe pre
diction that hundreds more will take
advantage of the opportunity to see
this film to-day^
Commencing Monday, August 26,
at the Victoria Theater, there will be
life, such as one might have found
in a small French village before the
war broke out. The war that comes
after merely is used as a back
ground. for Wie drama. Yet, while
the picture is not propaganda in any
sense of the word, it is a terrific ar
raignment of the Germans that its
principal appeal is said to be some
thing sublime, and it arouses the
most intense feeling of sympathy
for the unfortunate victims of the
millstones of war who were crushed
between the opposing armies .
In producing "Hearts of the
World," Mr. Griffith has cleverly in
terwoven. stirring battle scenes into
a number of the incidents in which
the Gish girls and their brave little
n.other are the principal players.
Many of the most- beautiful scenes
were secured by Lillian and Dorothy
Gish on the very battlefields where
but a few hours before men had
fought and died.
shown for three days the first of the
official United States war films. "Per
shing's Crusaders." taken by U. S.
Signal Corps. Navy photographers and
cameramen of the French General'
Staff. This feature is presented under
the direction of the Committee on
Public Information, of which George
Creel is chairman.
"Pershing's Crusaders" shows how
every American is helping to win this
war at home and abroad. It shows
not only the activities over here, but
also the fighting in the front line over
there. It is a picture that no soldier's
mother will miss. Follow the flag to
France and see how Americans fight.
There will be popular wartime prices
and daily matinees will be given.
Special music has been prepared for
this wonderful picture by Professors
Mcßride and Mcintosh, the two noted
organists who preside nt the Victoria
famous Mammoth-Hupe-.Tones pipe
organ.

drop, but only succeeded in using two.
The day was sultry and the 'atmos
phere heavy, consequently the balloon
could not be forced high enough for
the big stunt, i With better atmos
phere conditions, Kelly expects to be
able to show his friends who come
out to Paxtang to-day that the three
parachute drop is not impossible.
At the park theater large audiences
are being treated to one of the most
interesting vaudeville bills of the sea
son. The feature act is a striking
novelty. It consists of a Chinese boy
and girl who present an Oriental sing
ing and dancing act called "The Chil
dren of Confucius." In this act one
gets an idea of the-Chinese conception
of our modern songs and latest
dances.
