The marvels of Babylon With It's
glitter and pomp: the ceremonies OF
the priests, the orgies of the courts
and finally tho destruction OF Bel
shazzar's capital BY the hosts of ey-
rus, are not in the usual nature OF
motion picture presentation at all,
but more like the INSTALLATION of a
marvellous imagination. II is nov
known that the aingle set which dis
closes a part of Babylon and which
is mile in length cost S25o,000- 90
to erect. Not only in the magnifi-
eence of it's settings is this spec
tacle unique in the world. 1t rep
resents a new departure in the art
Of motion photography, The ordi-
nary and conventional methods Of
story telling on the stage have been
abandoned completely. A new art
form has been created. The pro
duction tells four stories, each one
complete and historical narrative.
and not related TO any other, save
in that spirit. which in this spec
tacle. makes war upon intolerism.
THE religious interest of the priests
of Babylon brings the destruction Of
that magnificent city. The perse-
cution and racial hatred which We're
engenlered in Judea and which have
been centuries dying supply the sec
ond narrative The persecution of
the Middle Ages provide the third
and the fourth shows the results of
Intolerance working in the present
day to the danger of personal liberty
aud the pursuit of happiness, These
four stories are told simultaneously
and the skill with which one episode
is stopped at the moment OF a eli
max and the vision is taken to an
other epoch in the history provides
new sensation OF suspense in the
atrical construction.
One OF the most attractive features
of the entertainment is the musical
score played by 4 symphony or
