Some of the most wonderful forest fire scenes ever staged appear in the VitagTaph five-part Blue Ribbon Fea ture, "The Ninety and Nine, starring William Court enay and Lucille Lee Stewart, which was directed by Ralph W. Ince and which is the attraction at the Sherry theatre today. Thus story, which is a screen adap tation of Ramsey Morris' well-known stage success of the same name, de mands that the hero and heroine dash through the burning forest in an en gine in order to save the souls in the town beyond, for "There were ninety and nine who safely lay in the shelter of the fold but one was out in the fields away far from the gates of gold." Director Ince spared no trouble or expense in making these scenes, the most beautiful and spectacular ever filmed. Miles upon miles of forests can be seen blazing while mountains of deep grey smoke cover the sky and make the scene dark and drear. The deer in the heart of the woods flee panic-stricken while the little rabbits run hither and thither in confusion. Gradually the flames, which started owing to the intense heat, spread to wards tho little town of Marlow and the inhabitants rush to the telegraph station in hopes of securing some aid. The various tresslo bridges which the train must enm catch fire and ono by one fall into the stream beneath. The railroad tracks crumble like so mucJi papier macho and become use less. Finally the death-dealing fire reaches the town and one by one the homes which a few hours before shel tered happy, contented families crush to the earth as so much debris. The only means of communication with other towns in order to advise them of their plight is the telegraph, and for an hour or so messages "are sent t" uid fro, nit soon the fire wreaks i,s terrible destruction here as well ami 'he last moans of communi cation with tho outside world is cu. off as the great poles go crashing to the earth. All these scenes were filmed especially for the realism of this pro duction and make it one worthy t be released under the Greater Vitigr.;ph trade-mnrk from every ph i e. George V .
