"HEARTS OF THE WORLn."
Great Historical Doculnent,--Splendid
Feature Auditorium Next Week.

The coming Of world peace makes
particularly timely the appearance
here Of ID. w. Griffith's latest mas
terpiect, Hearts OF the World" to
be shown at the High School Audi
torium next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, Sept. 90, 1924. Ad-
mission so cents: reserve seats 81.
On account Of the ending Of the
great struggle in Europe, Hearts
OF the World" produced in France,
has taken it's place as the greatest
visualization of the recent victory
In which the American forces played
so important a part. And yet Mr..
Griffith's tremendous spectacle is not
In any sense war play, the story
being All account OF tho people to
whom the war came rather than a
panorama Of The struggle itself. In
Keeping the war as a background
for the unfolding Of wholesome ro-
nance, Mr.. Griffith has shown him
self in the fullest expression Of his
art, for the man who produced "The
Birth Of Nation" and Intolerance"
must have been tempted to make
Hearts Of the World" purely a spec
tacle Of the war. The great pro-
Queer did not allow himself to be
carried away by the scenes Of death
and devastation surrounding him
during the taking Of the great scenes
but rather took his inspiration from
them and brought back to America
what has been termed "the sweetest
love story ever told" wherein he
shows the inner life Of the splendid
people Of France, their light laugh
ter. their small troubles, their great
hopes, and the beauty OF the magnif-
cent country in which they live.
Hearts Of the World" has been
proclaimed the supreme triumph or
d. w. Grimth's notable career as a
producer, its scenes being great
moving canvasses that might have
been painted by the greatest artists
OF the old world. There is, too, a
delightful vein of delicious comedy
running through the story, and a
m, sical accompaniment by a special
symphony orchestra that adds ma
terially to the enjoyment OF the pro-
duction. When it is recalled that
moro than eighteen months were
spent In producing Hearts of the
World" some idea Of its enormity

statement of President Gompers in
New York that he supposed Commits

attention to the next move likely to
be made by the Central Labor Union.
