d. w. Grifrith's Supreme Triumph
'sHearts of the World"


Hearts OF the World" the supreme
triumph of d. w. Griffith. to be pre-
scented at the Grand all next week, has
inaugurated a new era in the realm
of the screen drama. Here, with the
great war as n background, Mr.. Grif-
fifth has filmed a simple little love
story. old as the ages yet ever new.
Hearts Of the World" has proven the
latest sensation in the screen world.
Mr.. Griffith realized that the public
which became enthusiastic over The
Birth Of a Nation" and intolerance"
would expect something big from him
in this latest picture. and therefore
instead of trying to Guido himself in
staging gigantic battle scenes, he used
the great war only as a background
for the filming Of a simple and attrac-
tive story of tremendous human in
tcrest.
Hearts Of the World" shows the
happy, peaceful life of the people of a
small village before the grim horror
war reared it's ugly head over the
horizon. The causes that led up to
the war are shown; the meeting of
the English parliament on the event
, full night when the vote was cast for
war; the session Of the French senate
voting upon the declaration OF war;
the session OF the ca binet awaiting the
fatal hour when the ultimatum to
Germany would expire. These scenes
come as a prelude: then the great
drama begins when the German
hordes enter France.
In taking the battle pictures for
Hearts OF the World" Mr.. Griffith
has the assistance and cooperation
OF the British war office. 1t is the
opinion Of all who have seen Hearts
of the World" that Mr.. Griffith has
outdone his own best achievements
and has established n new artistic rec
ord which it will take years and years
for someone else to equal. IL indeed
such a thing is possible. Hearts of
the World" will be shown twice daily.
