TO LARGE NUMBER
At THE PLAZA

Millions 81 readers have read with de-
hight Anna SewciIs wonderful book
BLACK Beauty" and probably most o.
them have thought OF II only rs n rr-
markable and appealing work OF fiction.
AS a matter Of fact. The qualities Of
mind which made this production Of this

alert and ever patient observation. a
warm sympathy with the lives and feel
lngs OF the lower animals. and a power
OF effective literary expression.
There are peop'" who have admired
n loved BLACK beauty" while thinking
II 4 sort Of pretty fair! story These
will wonder hoY horses could be made

the story into motion pictures. AS a
matter OF fact. horses do not have 10 he
made 20 do such things. for they do
them all naturally spontaneously. The
question OF an equine language. or
course. Is Irrelevant. Every one VINO has
lntellieentIy observed horses for even
one day knows that they do commun!-
cate their feelings and thoughts TO each
other in some degree.
On the othc- hand. Anna Scwelt has
her equine characters do thinks which
70 horses could be trained 10 do at com
mand. Because OF this. Director David
W. Smith and the camera men had to
spend weeks OF alert watchtulness and
exercise INFINITE patience to get exactly
the action presented In the book. 1t was
achieved at length. however. and the
result. together with a human drama OF
thrilling interest woven by Mr.. and Mrs.
George Randolph Chester about Jessie

markable OF vltagraph's special pro-
ductions.
