 Here comes the most wonderful and thrilling fight scene l have ever wit messed on the picture screen The audience on the night l attended howled and cheered with enthusiasm and l didn't blame it. Inside of me was a tumult of emotions that seethed and boiled while l gasped out that most comforting escape-valve express ion. "gee-whiz."
 The first reel should certainly mol be forgotten. Here you see a wonder ful exhibition Of living organism All of us have read about microbes and bacilli. and have seen copper plate productions of them but it takes the motion picture with its vivid portray al of the kriggling, squirmmg, trouble making atoms to make you realize that they really exist Then for si> more reels you follow the story oi "The Escape" based on Paul Arm strong's play keeping mind that it is these germs Of badness. shown to you in the first reel that cause most o the disasters in real life
