tire Tuesday, March 81, for matine,
and night performance.
1.-THE Crisis is an elaborate pho
toplay, following closely the stor,
told by Winston Churchill's famous
novel,, and presented with full sym
phony orchestra and elaborate SOUND
effects. 1t has been the aim of the
producer to emphasize the romance
of the civil war, rather than itE
cruel horrors, and to present the DO.
litical aspects in fair, broad and
impartial spirit vigorously, but with
out offense to either the North OF
South.
Advantage is taken of the fact by
Director Colin Campbell to work in
broad. picturesque background OF
history. The Lincoln Douglas de-
bate and the political campaign OF
the sixties are wildly reproduced.
The bombardment of Fort Sumpter
follows directly on the ascension of
Lincoln to the Presidency; and the
countrys rush to arms. Stirring
incidents of the great war are mo-
mentarily flashed before the eye of
the spectator, eliminating in the
battle of Vicksburg, fought by both
land and water forces in detail.
North and South, embodied in the
persons of the two lovers, are final
ly reunited thru the agency of Lin
coin himself.
A feature of the presentation of
the three-hour production is the
special fifteen piece symphony. or
chestra, which renders the beauti-
full Mowschine-Koehler score COM
posed especially for THE Crisis" In
addition elaborate battle effects and
the final word in projection will
embellish the great Civil War ro-
nance. No such splendid musical
treat has ever before been accorded

full advantage will be taken of the
occasion.
