MASTERFUL WAR PLAY rs "THE
GREAT LOVE-

internationally famous as the
worlds greatest exponent of the
cinema art, David Wark Griffith is
the creator of the screens most re-
markable triumphs. That his genius
has accomplished more to elevate the
motion picture to its present high
standard than any other agency, is
apparent to everyone. His sensa-
tional departures in photoplay pro-
auctions are film history and the men,
ton of his name in connection with
a screen offering always excites anti
icipation for something new in the
way of advanced cinema technique.
Mr.. Griffith spent many months in
England and France during the past
year and on his return to this coun-
try, he produced Hearts of the
World which was presented with
enormous success in New York. His
latest offering, which deals with the
great social transformation effected
in England by the war, is "The Great
Love-" and this will be presented at
the Paris Grand Opera House, Friday,
October a.. The photoplay is said to
be remarkable one and that it will
attract great interest here is I'M
doubted.
While the entire story has not been
revealed by Mr.. Griffith, enough of
it is known to enable readers to get
a fairly accurate idea of the theme.
1t deals with young American who
enlists in the Canadian army when he
reads of the German atrocities in
Belgium and goes to England. While
training near London, he meets and
loves a charming Australian girl who
reciprocates his passion.
When this girl falls heir to a vast
fortune, an INSCRIPTIONS English
baronet seeks to force her into mar
riage with him, and this affair is in
terrupted by international complica-
tions and the operations of German
spies. The girl later finds "the great
love- in unremitting service for
country and the cause of worlds
democracy. Many famous English
society women assist in the develop
ment of the story as workers in hos
pitfalls and munitions factories, and in
this respect the photoplay is said to
be one of the most remarkable ever
produced.
Born at Lagrange, near Louisville,
KY, Mr.. Griffith is the son of the late
Brigadier General Jacob Wark Gri-

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH ISSUES
INFLUENZA WARNING

In view of the prevailing epidemic
of. Spanish influenza, which is caus-
ing many deaths in army camps and
as a general warning to the public,
the State Borad of Health has asked
the press to give wide publicity to
the following proclamation:
Bowling Green, Ky,
September 80, 1918.
Whereas, Influenza, a highly in
fictitious disease, in a severe and IA
tai form, is wide spread in the Allan
tic Coast States, and, being caused
only by the easily recognized Pfieffer
germ, which is spread along lines OF
travel, and in communities and fam
lilies, only by coughing and sneez1ng
people, who ought to be in bed or in
their rooms, has been brought to
Kentucky, and, not being an officially
quarantinable disease, threatens to
and is likely to become a widespread
epidemic in Kentucky unless the
prompt and intelligent cooperation
of the people can be secured in COM
batting it, and,
Whereas, The precautions have
advised, important as to coughs and
emergency now upon us for the pro-
lection at all times of our soldiers
with thousands being called to the
colors by the selective draft to reach
the camps within the next few weeks,
as well as for farmers, industrial OPP
eratives and the noble women daily
laboring for the support and comfort
of our own and the allied armies,
and,
Whereas, The control of this dis
easel if successful, must come from
an educated public sentiment which
will periodically demand the volun-
tary and systematic isolation in his
home or in a hospital during the
prevalence of the disease in any COM
munity, of every person who is af-
f1icted with cough and sneezing, and
especially that such persons shall
not enter or remain in any public
conveyance, picture show, or other
assembly until the disease is under
control, and, that, therefore,
BE 1t Resolved, That this Board,
in the discharge of a manifest public
duty and by virtue of authority vest
ed in it by law, hereby urges that all
patriotic people who show symptoms
of this disease, promptly isolate
themselves in their homes, for the
protection of their families, and that
a mask of two thicknesses of gauze
or cheese cloth be worn over the
mouth and nose where for any rea-
son, such isolation cannot be made
complete; it advises people to keep
away from all places of assembly in
any community where the disease is
prevailing; and it hereby expressly
forbids public funerals for those
dead of the disease and forbids itin-
Grant shows of every kind from en-
tering or making exhibits within the
limits of this Commonwealth. II
these precautions are demanded by
public sentiment and Systematically
carried out by every family and COM
munity, there need be little cause fol
alarm, and the disease will soon be
under control.
