FAITHFUL TO DETAIL

The infinite pains to which photo
real fine touches of life and the great
natural appeals to sentiment was nev-
er more clearly shown than in the
81, 900, 100000 cinema spectacle, "C!vili-
zation, produced by the master gen
ius Of the screen, Mr. Thomas H.
Ince.
1t was not enough for Mr.. Ince
to secure the cooperation of the
United States Navy, the Government
Aerial Department, to use 10000 peo-
pie and 10000 horses; it was not
sufficient to build entire cities and
destroy them with bombs dropped
from zeppelins, nor was he satisfied
to wreck bridges and spend money
like water in producing marvellous
effects. One thing that marks his
production, as superior to all others,
is the infinite pains he has taken
in securing the little incidents that
make for the heart appeal. Note
worthy in this is the use Of numer
Gus animals, and their action in the
big production is sufficient to demon
strate that much patience and care
must have been used to secure the
scenes that cause gasps and sighs
from the audience
After the devastation Of war, dog
lis seen with his teeth fastened in
the coat of his dead comrade, tug
ging with might and main trying to
arouse him. Another scene shows
the faithful horse standing over the
body of his dead master. After his
long watch for the awakening that
will not come, the steed raises his
hoof and paws the breast of his mas
ter until he unbuttons the coat and
shows the bloody shirt that means
there will be no further life. One
of the most beautiful scenes in the
picture is the close, where a herds
man is seen on the hillside with
| thousands of sheep, as the sun sets
in the West, giving remarkable
color to the picture. Two little ducks
supply a remarkable touch Of natur-
alness in the scene where the 21a-
year old actress, Lillian Read tod
dies out on the porch of her home
and finds delight in these little
feathered beings. Other animals that
appear with equally striking force,
throughout the spectacle. are goats,
chickens, dogs, pigeons, etc.
1t is certain that no previous pro
duction ever used so many animals
in such striking ways as "Civiliza-
