4, 7 and r. NJ. is creating a great
deal of discussion and comment all
over the country. Many readers and
students of history take exception to
the picture on the ground of fact,
However, Mr.. George KIeine claims
to pictorialize Sienkiewicz's romance
rather than history and. whatever de-
viations from the truth occur, the re-
sponslbility lies with the author of
the novel. The questions that are
most dehatable seem to be the cause
Of the burning of Rome and the per-
secution of the Christians. In the
Kleine photo drama Nero Is held di-
rectly responsible for the burning of
Rme and when he discovers the eff
feet II has upon the people he tries
to shift the blame upon the Chris
tians.
Historians differ as to the causes of
this particular confiagration, many
attributing 1t to natural accident, In
asmuch as the city had been partially
destroyed upon several occasions be-
fore and also because ii was liable to
very easy destruction on account of
it's narrow and intricate alleys and
the irreguiarity of It's streets. Many
claim that II broke out In business
