There have been so many unimportant

CIVILIZATION the million dol
lar spectacle, story by c. Gardner
Sullivan, IN Nine Reels The most
daring and astounding production the
world has ever known, founded upon
international complications of present
times. 4 whole year was spent in the
making of this picture and no expense
was spared. Thousands of charac-
ters were used at time in its max
ing, IN which is portrayed both histo-
ry and prophecy, and while it deals
with the infamous treachery of our
national enemies yet it has a happy
ending.
We consider ourselves fortunate to
be able to book this production for
our town and theatre and honestly
believe that we cannot recommend it
too highly.
