It is expected that tho great twelve
reel feature drama will be presented

who have seen the production assert
that It is tho biggest and most artIs-
tic drama ovor filmed by William n
selIg and this Ii saying a great deal,
whom tho worth OF Tho Spoilers"
"The Ne'er-do.WOll," ETC., nro taken
into consideration. The Crisis" fol-
lows tho book In every detail, A
beautiful system OF sub-tltles has been
devised which will add to tho artis-
tic worth Of the production.
The National Federation Of Women's
Club at It's recent convention careful
" considered tho subject Of tho mo-
ton picture and declined to 80 on
for official censorship, The
agitation for this innovation Is dying
down. At the 1915 session of state
lie legislatures, twelve bills providing
for state censorship were introduced;
eleven were defeated and tho twelfth
was vetoed by tho govrnor Of Illinois.
A bill for federal censorship now be-
fore Congress bids fair to he laid on
the shelf, also. In the opinion Of the
national board Of review Of motion
pictures, tho best way to regulate tho
character Of local motion pictures Is
through city license departments,
working in connection with the ma
tIonal board and aided by It's bulletin
services.
Only those who were directly con-
nected with tho production Will be
able to explain how the unusual scene
Of Louise Glaum falling heAdlong
through a large pier mirror, was made
for "The Wolf Woman" the Triangle
vampire" story by C. Gardner sulli-
van, in which Miss Glaum and Charles
Ray are presented as co-stars by
Thomas II. Ince,
The effect is declared to be among
the most sensational ever filmed and
for that reason Director Raymond B.
West and his camera man, ]. II. d.
Herriot, refused 10 divulge their Sc
cret. So far, in fact, is 1t removed
from ordinary Photographic trickcry
that it bewildercd the studio folk at
Culver City when they saw 1t in the
projecting room.
