CIVILIZATION

The Oregon Journal of August -
has the following to say of "Civiliza-
ton, the wonder feature that comes
to the Theatorium on January "a for
two days:
The 11-reel spectacle photo-drama
Civilization begins its second week
at the Heilig theatre this afternoon.
The big lnce production became in
stantly popular and was pronounced
more spectacular and moro substan-
tial in plot even than The Birth of
Nation" and "Cabiria. The film is
said TO represent an expenditure of
100000 and to engage at times
10000 persons. 1t consumed more
than a year and a half in being staged
and has been proclaimed by critics
everywhere from New York to San
Francisco as the supreme triumph
of the moving picture art and daring.
70 Civilization is war photo
drama, but while hammering home a
purpose it calls upon all the thrilling
adventures to which motion picture
photography has been introduced,
with startling effect. 1t invades the
trenches Of land warfare and goes
down into the ocean for naval and
submarine conflict. A great ocean
liner is wrecked and submarine
m%n-of-war is destroyed in the pro-
cess of the pictures evolution and
sharp contrasts---conditions in war
and conditions in peace-go to make
the film absorbingly interesting and
educational
The production as presented at
the Heilig is identical with that at
New York. A prologue introduces
the picture. In the prologue are 80
living actors who speak their lines.
They have been recruited and re-
hearsed for the Pacific Coast tour
with as much attention to detail as
the New York company.
The music which accompanies
Civilization is master stroke. 1t
has been compared to the new music
TO be developed from the great Euro
pean war and critics throughout the
country have accorded young Victor
l.. Schertzinger a high place for his
work
