Hearts Of the World" Sets
New Standard In FHmdOm

Last evening d. w. Griffith. that
genius of FINLAND, honored Perth
Amboy by sending his last great ef-
fort of the screen, Hearts of the
World,' a picture so deftly presented
that all can appreciate and under
stand. and t at in itself is an accom-
plishment of no mean proportion.
Nothing that has eve beer seen
here even approaches ii, for to do 1t
justice it Is at once colossal and a
marvellous corollary of life as the var
has depicted it on the b~attle1elds of
France.
ID. W. Griffith and no other man
could have had the prestige with the
French and British government that
it was necessary to have in order to
get these wonderful pictures. Lloyd
George himself is shown upon the
screen speeding him o. his way, and
to quote his own words h~eralding his
effort to show to America Just what
the Allies nave accomplished against
an unscruplous enemy, Is but TO show
the estimate that the great English
statesman put upon Mr.. Griffith and
his accomplishments.
The conduct of the war. as Mr..
Griffith explains in a preface of his
program. Is quite puzzling to the lay
man, IL one were to read the various
newspapers on the subject. Men usu-
ally expect hat there shall be some
reasonable excuse for the firing away
of priceless ammunition. All the Ger
mans knew was that somewhere In
some bright and happy little home
the shell would fall. Somewhere little
children would be moved down in
their tracks. The huns did not stop
to count values, theirs was but the
brutal bloodthirsty business of kill
ing, where or whom they did not
know. nor did they care. and his was
their idea of fulfilling their scheme of
frightfulness. and their catechism of
hate and all this is so wonderfully
depicted In Hearts of the World" as
this week presented lat the Strand
Theatre. that one does not have to
be even educated to at once absorb
the remarkable things that have been
going on, that he has read about from
day to day, and which for the nrst
time these pictures make plain to
him.
A mar of intellig ence In this COM
munity who Is a constant attendant
at the theatre. came out of the Strand
last evening where he has seen per-
haps everything of Importance thai
has been presented here from time
to time. and said. This is the first
time I hav really seen a moving pic
ture"-and these impressive words
viii perhaps convey to the readei
what a long, long way 1t Is ahead OF
all others.
1t will be presented afternoon anG
evening for the rest of the week.
