HEP" PICTURE
 UNRIVALLED
Forecasts ara Uprising of
 the German People

Reviewed by the New York Telegraph
 As the title indicates, "The Zepellin' s Last Raid," is yet another war film, and a good one. It contains what might be trmed prophetic plot, forecasting the probable uprising of the German people against thed estructive forces of war and the tyranny Of Kaiserism.
 However, as an amazing and thrilling production, it has few rivals for it's length. It is doub tful If any other fea- ture has revealed SD much novel and good stuff,' to use slang phrase. The Zeppelin is, of course, the central figure, and presuming that the details of it's construction and operation, shown in this feature, are true, the film will prove a thrilling eve-opener to many. Whether trick or otherwise, the photography is superb and many scenes startling in floating with the clouds, views through it's window the quiet villages and towns below, thes hover of fire it drops on the defenseless little hamlet called Peace town, the gruesome destruction 1t ac- complishes while it scars in safety above, it's bombs bursting in the air-all these details are pictured in scenes of thrill- ing effectiveness-scene which give the spectator a very graphic idea of the ruthless warfare waged by the enemy's aiK fleet.
 The plot 'revolves around the activi- ties of a number of peace-loving Ger mans, who secretly organize 'The Red Cross of Liberty'' legion to overthrow their ruler and promote the spirit of de- nlocracy. Louise Bracher, the heroine impressiyely and sincerely portrayed by Enid Markey, converts her betrothed, lieutenant Brandt, commander of the Zeppelin, to the cause and at the crucial moment when the legion incites the re- volt he disregards his Emperors or ders, bravely declares his utilization with the legion of liberty, and when shot by his angry crew, slips the switch ex- plodes the dirigible, and plunges them all to destruction.
 The feature is a typical Ince produc- fion reflecting unusual thought, even in the most unimportant details, with at rnosphere pervading every foot Howard Hickman is nSideal choice for Lieuten- ant Bfandt. His change of purpose and stern determination to avoid the de- struction of other defenseless villages are admirably portrayed. All the play CTS are good types and ever in the picture.

"1he Zeppelins Last Raid,R Thom : as II Inces first great spectacle since he gave "Civilization" to the world, reveals in motion pictures for the first time the secrets of the Zeppelins by which Germany is waging ruthless warfare upon the allies on the west front
 The new Ince subject is one of mo- mentousA timeliness, inasmuch as the story which was written by c. Gard ner Gullivan, also author of "Civillza- tion,' was based upon the growth of the democratic spirit of revolution in Germany, forecasts the overthrow of kaiserism. and many of the events now occurring in Europe were antlci- pated by MT.

 An honest to- goodness Zep is the central figure of ''The Zeppelins Last Raid" and the portrayal of the inner workings of the mammoth dirigible is scientific treat. The secrets of it's construction, which the Germans have jealously guarded, are revealed for the first time.
 The Zeppelin is of the same type the Germans are now using to spread terror and destruction through France and, England and required three months to build. It is approXi- mately 600 feet in length, with di- ameter of 60 feet It has an alumi- nun frame, with longitudinal and horizontal ribs, covered with a stout interlaced cord, over which is tine outside cover of linen, painted black. The shape is that of a nexaggerated cigar. Two silk balloons fill the id- terior, holding the hydrogen gas, which gives the lifting power. Stat
