In producing this subject Cecil B. Pe Mille, the genius of screencraft. based his play on act ual facts and carefully avoided ex aggeration so often p-tminent in films of this nature. Every detail was stuped only after it had received the endorsement of an authority nnd various experts on matter pertaining to the great war, wore called in to collaborate in tho presentation of dif ferent scenes. As a result the picture has been named as the most faithful reproduction of true conditions, by many who arc in a position to judge.
