TEACHES NOT breaches
"End Of Road" Does Not. Obtrude
Moral

"The End of the Road" new attrac-
,tion at the Garrick, would scarcely serve
its purpose if propaganda stood out
boldly. But 'HThe End of the Road
is not that kind of a photoplay. 1t is
tale that is at once recognized as plaus-
ible and as not far removed from every -
day happenings or experience. There
is no attempt to preach at onlookers
and what is done is to let the picture
.carry its own lesson.
One sees actual victims of folly in
the misery that science is too late to
relieve, and yet there is thrown out the
hope through the story that one may
not despair who will be honest with
himself or herself and seek aid. There
is the mother who is willing to tell her
child the great mystery of life and then
there is the needless girl uninformed,
who rushes into false pleasures and to
luxury. only to be turned aside and to
suffer alone when things go wrong.
The army would have seen the pic
ture had not the war ended, but a more
general service is to be done through
public exhibition of this photoplay with
its disregard for the conventional and
with its adherence to serious purpose.

Sennett was perplexed and doubted if
he could get cat trained well enough
to do the trick as he desired. While
the party was in the mountains. where
the major part of the scenes were
screened, there came to them a stray
cat from deserted cabin. This cat had
probably been without anything to eat
for days and Sennett st once started in

pictures the scene suited the director.
