LTHOUGH exsentially an ap- A pealing and eloquent plea for peace, “Civilization,” seen at the Criterion Theatre last night, is the most remarkable picture of war that the screen has shown, With it ‘thomas H. Ince takes first rank as a) motion picture producer of striking ability, vivid imagination and a sense of dramatic values that places him) upon an artistic footing with Belasco. | Gentiment aside, “Civilization” is 80 ingeniously contrived and so splen- didly executed that it commands un- qualified. admiration. So far as its message goes it can do no harm— and It may do some good, We are compelled to take the theatre, in ite different phases, for what it is worth. ‘The main thing about it is that tt reaches the musses, This is espe- cially true of the picture play. Here, then, in “Civilization,” with all the irony that its title implies, 1s some- thing to employ the mind as well as! to engage the eye. Inev'! to the theatre in considering a pro- the times. In fact, the elaborately phrased programme handed out at the Criterion can be accepted only as lorification of the showman con- ned in thia timely venture, Still, re ie an underlying and true sympathy for humanity in the story by C. Gardner Sullivan, Briefly told, this story has to do with the in- ventor of @ submarine boat. Count Ferdinand, who refuses to put his deadly engine of war into action be- cause of the plea for humanity made way to hea your skin wit Resinol If you are suffering from ecrema, ringworm or similar itching, red, unsightly skin affection, bathe the sore places with Resinol Soap and hot water, then gently apply a little Resinol Ointment.

An unusual effect is achieved when the women who constitute “The Mothers of Men Society” knocl be- and voices are raised in a hymn of peace.
