and solidity to a degree heretofore
not shown in a motion picture. This
wonderful effect is obtained by a pat,
ented device OF the italia Film com.
pany, who produced the picture.
Stereoscopic pictures have long been
sought and "Cabiria" is the first to
offer the effect. The picture looks
like life itself both in respect to so,
lidity and depth of field. In parts the
picture is superbly tinted and toned,
and you have wonderfully realistic
representations of an eruption, burn
ing ships on the water, Alpine views,
etc. All these are shown in what you
may approximately term natural col
ors. The entire picture is tinted and
toned throughout. not a foot of plain
film being included in the two hours
and three-quarters exhibition. Ca,
biria', in fact, may be regarded as
a natural color stereoscopic work OF
art, which all students of the motion
picture should make a point of seeing
