with a descriptive music score, COM
posed by Joseph Breil, who wrote the
famous Accomplishments for 1.-The
Birth of a Nation and Intolerance :"
An augmented orchestra also comes as
Il special musical feature.
The theme of this wonderful drama
is the story of peace, of democracy. of

gagged by Mack 'Sennett to produce a
two-reel art-comedy, is nearing the
completion of his work at the Sennett

Able under his supervision. The title
of the picture in which the beauty of
the Sennett girls promises to be ade-

to "high-brow" art but will be prac-
