liant French statesman, was recov-

ming Monday as the main attraction
on the photoplay and vaudeville pro-
gram.

as a mere trifie, Clemenceau disre-
garded the advice of his physicians,
who prescribed absolute quiet for
their patient, by spending every day
and night completing THE Strong
est" while at the same time he was
working assiduously on the peace
treaty in an effort to lift France from
the tragic mire OF the world war.
Previous to accepting William
Fox's offer to screen his master
story, Clemenceau had been besieged
with offers to make a speaking pro-
duction of The Strongest" for the
stage as well as to make of 1t
cinema drama. His answer, however.
was always: wait" Clemenceau
listened with interest to Mr.. Fox's
offer, for as a cinema enthusiast ne
was cognizant of the popularity OF
Fox entertainments in France, Eng
land. Spain and South America, as
wei; as the United States.
The publication of The Strongest
as n novel, in English as well as In
French, made a deep impression on
the critics, and everywhere the book
was hailed as a masterpiece.
When The Strongest" is shown on
the screen It will give new insight
into the character OF The Tiger OF
France" not alone because OF us
tremendous power, but because OF tho
momentous events that surrounded
its preparation.
