the reputation of being the most brill
liant and daring producer of photo
dramas which deal in a vital man
ner with the most vital subject of
modern life.
In this production Mr.. DeMille has
taken a topic as old as human life
is old, and yet as young as this day,
and has blended the human thoughts
and desires and motives and pas
sions with such a subtle skill that as
the characters flash upon the screen
and enact their respective parts. 1t
seems that they are men and women
of flesh and blood, and that human
hearts and souls have been laid bare
until their throbbing joys and poig-
nant passions are communicated to
those who watch the unfolding of
this great drama from their seats in
front OF the screen.
Cecil B. peMille has delved deeply
