Their operations brought out the warning “Beware of Strangers, Men of Women"~, from Maclay Hoyne, the famous States .

The Selig Polyscope company has filmed a wonderul 8 part drama, written by Gilson Willett, and based upon the aperations of The International Syndi- cate.

Many, many months of brain-rack- ing, yet soul-inspiring mental labor was necessary before the artisans could begin the re-construction of that beautiful city of Babylon, beloved and cherished by Belshazzar and his Princess Beloved. Lying behind this magnificent set- ting for scenes of love, of great hap- piness, of tragedies and blood red battles, are countless hours of re- search and study. Mr. Griffith’s staff of research workers were engaged constantly to provide actual data so that the reproduction of Babylon and its people might be given to the world authentically. Many authori- ties were consulted, tablets unearthed and in the possession of the British museum were examined and de- ciphered so that even to the minutest detail Babylon should be rebuilt. In addition to the settings, all cos- tumes of the participants, the jewelry and the accessories used in connection with the ancient scenes were repro- duced from photographs and draw- ings made from cuneiform tablets, and cylinders unearthed by scientists. The daily modes of living, the food which they ate and the customs of this ancient people were studied and relived for “Intolerance.” Students of the Bible and ancient history have not been miserly in their praise of Mr. Grifith’s masterly direc. tion and each audience has its quota of students and historians to see in “Intolerance” the peoples whom they have long studied, but never befors have been able to view at close hand. so followers of day— «
