Is alone worthy of inspection irrespec-
tive of its dramatic and spectacular
properties Parts Of the film are
made stereoscOpic, that ID to say, they
have all the appearances and solidity
and relief of the original subject. They
look real, so real that they have depth
and solidity to q degree heretofore not
shown in a motion picture. Stereo-
scopic motion pictures have long been
sought and "Cabiria' 10 the first to
offer the effect. The picture looks like

wonderfully realistic representations
of an eruption, burning ships on the
water, Alpine views, etc. All these are
shown in natural colors. There are
silhouetted effects moonlight and 9TH

tunity for the introduction OF artisti-
cally chosen colors. The entire pic
