DANTE'S INFERNO"
The arraignment Of the guilty souls
before the Internal judge, the heat
stirring scene on the banks of the Riv-
er Acheron are rendered with a dra-
matte power and intensity, of which
words can give but faint idea. The
height of moving picture realism, how
ever, is reached when the two poets on
their journey through hell arrive at
the gray and cithered cliffs of the Sty-
gian swamps, where the vilest are
confined. The system of signals by
which the internal powers send news
of the coming and passing of guilty
souls through the various regions, so
graphically described by Dante, is
shown with thrilling and overwhelm-
ing realism in the picture.
The great dramatic moment in
Dante's poem comes with the arrival
of the poet at the gates of the City of
Dis. The scenes here follow each
other in rapid succession, reaching q
most powerful climax when Virgil
seems filled with despair and inclined
to retrace his steps. The makers of
the film have done full justice to this
most eXsctin2 portion of the poem and
the spectator finds himself thrilled and
awed in turns. Nor is there any abate-
ment in artistic power and refinement
as the poem approaches it's end. The
last circle in the Inferno depicting the
punishment of Traitors is among the
most impressive.
Every step increases our admiration
for the film makers and renews AND
enhances our enjoyment and under.
