Abraham Lincoln at
 Capitol Beginning Sunday

Two young men, Al and Ray Rocket, both of them nnder 30, are today probably better informed on the life of Lincoln and the history of Civil War days than any historian in | the country. Their thorough knowl- edge on the subject is the resnlt of
 two years research spent in prepar- ing for the photoplay, "Ahraham Lincoln" which they recently pro duccd. Abraham Lincoln is 10 hc shown at the Capitol theater begin ming Sunday for four days. According to the Rorketts, thor" was so much that was dramatic and interesting in the life story of Lin-
 coin that the great problem of the scenario writer, Frances Marion, was 10 select the hest material. Not only was IinColns public life admirably
 suited for screen adaptation. but the story of his first romance with Anne | Rutlodge and his cOurtship of tho girl he later married arc far nor" ,fntoros'ing than mOst romanCos of | fiction.
 The majority of the research work which was necessary before
 "Ahraham Lincoln" could he tilmcd
 was done in inc Congressional 1t-
 hrary in Washington, D. C, In ad-
 dition to reading hundreds of books | and historical documents, the youthful producers visited Illinois, i the scene of TincOln's hoyhood, and 1 became acquainted with the few sur i viving friends of the martyrcd nresi- dent, In this way the most minute
 details of the life of Lincoln Woro clear in their minds before tho gi-
 gantic task of filming the picture
 was started.
