CIVILIZATION" IS
 GREAT SCREEN EPIC
Remarkable Photoplay Begins Run at
 Strand Today

"Civilization," the most stupendous and daring cinema spectacle of all times, written by c. Gardner Sullivan, and pro- duced by Thomas H. Ince, and which will have its first showing at the Strand week, is best summed up as a screen epic, depicting an idea1istic conception of the birth of the millennium and the bringing about of universal peace through the second coming of Christ. As to the photography it probably never has been equaled in motion drama
 It is perhaps in the individual counte- nances and the registry of the passions, hopes, joys, sorrows and fears of man. faces of the characters selected to depict motherhood, bereft of offspring for can non fodder, show the joy and sorrow of all mothers. The children, especially the little girl who depicts toddling babyhood, present the horrors of war by their artlessness more plainly than any of the battle scenes.
 The painter of The Angelus would envy the effects secured by Director Ince m his pastoral scenes preceding ths calamity ol "dl. Lie HuSlcdi dcCoiilPdHiiiicit ID excellent and the explosions back-stage to heghten the effect of the battle scenes realistic and thrilling.
 The theme of 'Civilizatlon'' has been handled once and for all. The produc- tion in it's entirety is superb and stands for all that is complete, fascinating and Illuminating. The cast is composed or the following artists: Herschel Mayall, Miss Lola May, Howard Hickman, Miss Enid Markey, George Fisher, J. Frank Burke, Charles K. French, J. Barney Sherry, Jerome Storm and Miss Ethel Ullman.

by his despicable brother. No sooner has Dr. Campbell assumed this responA sibility, thinking that he would never fall in love at his age, than a young woman comes into his life whose pres ence increases tenfold the magnitude of his sacrifice.
 In the end the cad who causes all the trouble is brought to a realization of his unworthiness and the unfor- tunate girl the doctor shielded with his name dies, following the birth of her child The natural inference is that the love story of Dr. Campbell and the captivating Doris Osborne will be happily concluded
 MT. Edeson, always fine and virile , a thorough master of his art, played the role of pr. Campbell so well that he made it a clean and forceful, even a convincing, character Miss New combe, his leading woman, was most appealing as Doris Osborne. Miss New combe's personal charm and beauty, added to her gifts as an actress, made her work particularly agreeable. Miss Benton was an ideal trained nurse She could not have portrayed the type more accurately and with more of the wholesomeness which all trained nurses seem to possess.
 Wilfred Lytell as Craig Campbell. Miss Miller as Nellie Campbell and kalman Matus as Philip Osborne were well cast, while Robert c. Lowe as a breezy Tammany politician, who had retired from politics, was one of the most engaging characters on the stage. Miss Nevil as scheming, gossiping old maid of the typical small town kind, "one of the reasons why men remain single" gave excellent impersonation. Miss Helen Barnes as a slangy New York waitress, sojourning temporarily in country town, was equally good.
 MT. Rosworth presented a type of doctor who is a discredit to the med fcal profession with rare fidelity.

MOVEMENT OF FREIGHT
 STOPPED BY YEMBARGOES
All Shipments From This Section for Eastern and Mddl Western Points Stopped by orders-Local Shippers
 and Railroad Men in Quandary

The movement of southern freight to the north and middle west is seriously crippled by embargoes that the northern railroads have placed against the traffic.
 The railroads of the east and middle west are notifying the southern railroads that they cannot accept freight designat- ed for the various points, generally north of the Ohio river, and as a consequence the movement of pig iron,s lumber and other commodities of Birmingham is seri- ously impaired. There seems to be no prospect for immediate improvement, ow-
 ing to the growing congestion at the eastern ports, due to the submarine men

 Dr. James Lews. .Hallet Rosworth Robert Edeson appeared at the Jeff ferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night in a play written by him self, to which he gave the significant title of His Brothers Keeper" It was not a pleasant kind of play, smacking rather too much of the clinic. While theatregoers have grown accustomed to having any and every subject frankly discussed on the stage, the There is quite a lively discussion go- ing forward as to whether or not the stage is the proper place from which sto preach morality and on which to contrast the evil men do with the good for the sake of lesson to be taught.
 However, MT. Edeson is first of all an actor His talents and ability have been so long conceded by every one that anything he attempts is apt to be worth while. His venture as a playwright has not given him the best vehicle of his career by any means, but it does introduce some well drawn characters, with which MT. Edeson was more happy than in devising a plot
