THE BATTLE CRY or PEACE"

4 sermon va. delivered at the
Olympic Theatre last night TWEEN
tieth century sermon entitled The
Battle Cry Of Peace"
1t was a moving picture sermon
which viii be- preached every day in
the future, as long IA people will
look N it. and tt is q sermon most of
us need.
u is the reviewers task 70 choose
Il course between extravagant ,uperla-
tivee and the commonplaces Of mere
fact. The Battle Cry Of Peace" does
not make for moderation. II causes
the blood 10 pound through the veins,
driven by heart aroused over the
prophetic picture of vital menace Of
the future, rather than sentimental
portrayal Of past history IL is an
unapologized-'or appeal for prepara-
lion against war and that IL demanded
no apology was evidenced by its en-
thusiastic reception by large audi
cncc.
II was typical first night. Even
the author, j. Stuart Blackton, who
based his scenario on Hudson Max
inns book, "Defenseess America" was
present and made curtain speech
He was welcomed on behalf Of the
city and introduced by Health Com
missioner Robertson II was a real
occasion.
"lf you are surprised, if you are
Mortified and shocked 10y this picture,
! am glad of it," the author said
THAT was the intention, for what is
set forth is only to a triflng degree
as terrible a. what is taking place in
Europe to-day. We are preaching
propaganda a peace propaganda --
but not the Bryan kind.
Then. to add to the dramatic at
mosphere, there was picturesque
iovable old man made known 10 the
audience aS Captain Jack Crawford.
who served the Union throughout the
civil war. Captain Jack" too, talked
for preparedness and aroused great
enthusiasm when he recited patriotic
verses and waived an American flag.
England should devise "A Battle Cry
of Peace" in her enlistment cam.
paign and recruits will tumble over
themselves to serve King and Coun.
try"
Technically the Vitagraph picture
violates most OF the established tra-
ditions of cinematography, but by so
doing the story is told more effective
ly. When the first reel is flashed on
the screen Hudson Maxim is dis
closed delivering his lecture on pge-
paredness against war. His words
are made known by frequent captions
and these are followed by graphic
pOrtrayals of his statements. He tels
what afore,gn enemy could do, and
10. the enemy does it. The producers
have blaZed new and interesting
trail into the movies" They have
dared much and their judgment was
well founded. The Battle Cry Of

il il essentially sincere.
