Julius Caesar at Hip.
Latest, and without doubt greatest,
of all his splendid Roman produce
lions, is George Kleines Julius
Caesar" which will be shown today
and tomorrow at the Hip. 1t is fitting
that the wonderful life of Caesar
should be added to the list Without
it, the Roman cycle would be incom-
plete and the world would be de-
prived of a motion picture spectacle
that is certainly without rival in the
annals of the business.
The story follows closely the recog-
nized versions of Caesars life and
presents an absorbing and realistic
picture of the tremendous evepts
which shaped the worlds history
twenty centuries ago. The historic
Gau1 and his cruel murder at the
hands of Brutus, are incidents sensa-
tional enough in themselves to make
Julius Caesar the most remarkable
of pictures. Starting with the mar
rage of the youthful Caesar to Cor
do of iS
Punishment from Rome as a punish
ment by the dictator, SuHa; his return
and gradual rise to fame and power,
the story follows on to the epoch
making events of his life as Romes
governing genius.
