Another time when a famous Italian announced that he could transmit messages through space without any wires at all, he was denounced as an impostor until FACTS proved that Marconi was correct in his as- sertion, When the first inventor of photography re- produced the likeness of a human being in the o fashioned Daguerreotype, he was hailed as a geni and rightly so. hen the old-fashioned tin-type was succeeded t the “wet plate,” and that in turn gave way to mode: developments of the wonderful art of photograph every one said the limit had been reached. Then came the test marvel of the age—pho- foc ape in motion pictures which pe photon in bow lute perfection scenes and incidents of actual life. But Every One Said: “Oh, It Is Only a Picture’’ Ten years ago, when the wonderful Art of the Screen Drama began to unfold and develop under the guiding hands and the direction of the geniuses who asserted themselves in its expansion, few people realized that Dramatie Art was about to receive the greatest im- petus since the days of Sophocles and Shakespeare. They were crude enough things in those early days; crude little comedies and dramas, full of gunplay, custard pies, slap-stick comedy, flour barrels and a lot of other foolishness which has long since passed into the discard, Those early motion pictures entertained millions of people. That is true. But while they attracted the thoughtless and the unthinking, they also DROVE AWAY many more millions of intelligent men and women who believed that their time was TOO VALUA- BLE to waste on such subjects. Gradually the Drama of the Screen underwent @ transformation. Higher ideals asserted themselves, reat artists became interested in the New Art, prom- inent writers did not think it beneath their dignity ty write scenarios, and famous and celebrated actors actresses no longer scorned the offers of the Directors of Sereen Dramas. The word “Motion Picture” became almost a by- word; to escape the comparison with the custard pies and the slap-stick, the DIGNIFIED MEN NG) WOMEN OF THE PROFESSION established a standard of their own, a standard of pean STRENGTH, and they began to Rescue the Art of Camera from those who had cheapened it. = Then Came David Wark Griffith Every great profession has its Genius, its Leader, its Apostle. And from the maze of Moving Pictures emerged the greatest genius and director the screen world has ever known, ‘To-day he stands pre-eminent in the world, is name rises supreme among all who endeavor to compete with him in his chosen field. During the past few years; DAVID WARK GRIF FITIL has proven on three memorable occasions that he is absolutely without a peer as a Director, Cre- ator and Producer of THE DRAMA OF TE SCREEN. Mr. Griffith has established new standards, snaal all traditions, achieved triumphs never hithe: dreamed of, Over night, almost, the entire moving pictu world was REVOLUTIONIZED. The name o DAVID WARK GRIFFITH assumed in the realm o the screen a prestige that has never since been dimm by the efforts of his competitors. Now One Can See His Greatest Triumph Less than two weeks ago, at the Forty-fourth Street ‘Theatre, before the most distinguished audience ever gathered in a theatre in New York, a private show- ing of Mr. Griflith’s latest and greatest achievement was held. Oflicers of the United States Army, the French and British War Offices, representatives of the Allied Governments, eminent citizens, society leaders, all gathered together to inspect the latest achievement of the wizard of the sereen. For eighteen months rumors had crossed the At- lantie Ocean of the activities of Mr. Griffith on the battlefields of l’rance. ‘ “‘Hearts of the World’’ a Masterpiece There was but one verdict after the wonderful story had been unfolded. “It is Mr. Griflith’s supreme masterpiece; it syr- passes anything ever before done in the world of the camera.” With one voice, the critics of New York praised and applauded the new Griffith masterpiece, “HEARTS OF 'TITE WORLD” is a wonderful LOVE STORY told with the war as a background, While the battle scenes have been screened upon the battlefields of France, upon the very soil which once ran red with the blood of the enemy, the essential IIUMAN NOTE is the prime factor, the story is a LOVE STORY, and the SIMPLICITY of the drama is its most fascinating charm. “HEARTS OF THE WORLD” is more than a sereen drama; it is the story of all humanity. From the most exquisite atmosphere of rural France before the Great War storm broke, into the turmoil of the battles now raging, the story moves swiftly and surely to the inevitable end, Don’t Say ‘‘It Is It is the Greatest ITuman document of this genera- tion immortalized for all time by the Greatest Genius of the Camera, in the Imperishable Form of a New Art which is the most wonderful invention of the Age. “HEARTS OF THE WORLD” is being shown twice daily at the Forty-fourth Street Theatre. The prices for the matinees are 25 cents to $1, and for the evenings and Saturday matinee prices are 25 cents to $1.50. Tickets are on sale for four weeks in advance, and as hundreds of people are being turned away at every performance, the management suggests that tickets be purchased well in advance. en thousand tickets have been set aside for mail Cable dispatches had reported his meeting with | Lloyd George, the Prime Minister of England; brief | news items described his work behind the firing line where his cameras were often set up in first lin trenches; there were stories of the hair-breadth escay of players appearing under his direction; then came th official announcement of the British War Office that | Mr. Griffith was operating in the war zone WIT’ THE OFFICIAL APPROVAL OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT, And so, on that memorable night, a distinguish audience gathered to see the accomplishment of his year | and a half of labor, a Many of the earlier scenes have the effect of beau tiful painted canvases; there are pastoral scenes worthy of Corot; then by contrast one sees the gigantic battle of the great guns, the German assaults, the wave after, wave of infantry mowed down by machine guns; th fleets of British airplanes; the German attacks with’ liquid fire and poison gas; the Titanic batteries of! British guns; the tanks in action; the German Zep- pelins, and all the other horrid attributes of the mon- ster WAR, Then, at the end, after the trials and tribulations’ of the lovers, torn apart by war, comes the HOPE FO: THE FUTURE w ye the young couple, reunited, -f from the window of a restaurant in Paris and see they American troops marching by. ‘The glorious spectacle of the Stars and Stripe: side by side with the Tri-color of France and the Unio Jack of Great Britain, parading with OUR TROOPS through the streets of Paris on the way to the fighting, front in France, is SOMETIUNG NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN, ase Only a Picture’’ orders exclusively for the next four weeks, and will bey sent BY MAIL if self-addressed stamped envelope id inclosed with remittance. No telephone orders can be accepted during this’ phenomenal engagement, as it is unfair to the great pub lic applying at the box office to permit leisurely persons to order tickets over the telephone to the exclusion of, those who stand in line to purchase tickets. JUST ONE WORD MORE: If you, Reader, who have been accustomed to speak disparagingly o “Moving Pictures,” will see “HEARTS OF THE WORLD,” you will be converted to admire and to appreciate the most masterly accomplishment since Bell invented the telephone and Marconi discovered th secret of the wireless, (Signed) WILLIAM ELLIOTT, F.
