"THE CRISIS" MAKES BIG
HIT AT THE DTTMAS,

An epoch in motion pictures has
undoubtedly been established by The
Crisis" the INSTALLATION of Winston
.Churchilfs famous novel of the same
name, which is now playing at the
Ditmas theatre. 1.-THE Crisis Is not a
motion picture spectacle In a strict
sense of the word. II Is really q SIM
pie, tragic, romantic tale. alive with
pathos and humor and full of many
absorbing historical Incidents. At all
times the play Is so intensely dra-
matte and sympathetic that II brings
tears to the eyes and makes the heart
throb faster. More stress is laid upon
the human side of the picture than
upon the spectacular side, although
there are number of big battle
scenes that have never been surpassed
on the picture screen--and this In
cludes the much discussed birth Of a
Nation"
The chief value of "The Crisis"
however. lies In its historical accu-
racy as we'll as its entertaining quail
ties. Churchills entire story was
based upon actual facts many of
which were crucial events in Ameri-
can history. The Lincoln-Douglas de-
bate, Lincoln's election and other
events leading to the crisis in the his
tory of the United States are genuine
OCCuTTeuCeB WHICH Will enllBllten peO-
pie the world over. Then come the
succeeding spectacular events. the
bombardment of Fort Sumter In
Charleston Harbor, the secession ond
then the memorable meeting of Lin
coin and his cabinet-all strikingly
and accurately presented. the major
ity of them for the first time in pic
lures. The bombardment of Vicks-
burg by Admiral Porter's fleet, lying
on the opposite side OF the river. is
awe-inspfring-with the fiaring red
shells bursting over the fortress, and
the heavens lit for miles around with
flames of scarlet. fire.
Not only from spectacular stand
point, therefore, Is The Crisis a
truly great picture, but Its acting is
absolutely ffawiess. 1t adds melan-
choly note to know that Samuel
Drane, who portrays Lincoln so faith
fully. died before he saw the triumph
of his Characterization on the screen.
Bessie Eyton is lovely Virginia
