This slory' tellu of the eondllionr that Immediately preceded Die war In llerlin, and of the lerroi- and alarm thai came when the declara tion was made. It Is. however, a slory of the life of a brilliant wom an who noes HiroiiKh all the or deals that beset American women who were in Germany at the time, nnd who Is true lo her eoniilry and to her love. The lovo cluneal pre dominates and survives war and tribulation. 'Tor Liberty" Is a story of a woman's life Hint Is wonderful and InsplriiiK. it is set In the midst pl' war', and Mills makes II Intensely real to us who know lhat such conditions prevailed hut who have only a ulininiorint; of Iho real truth.

The imiifclnnllon of the audience Is carried back nine teen hundred years, in Hie seltlni-'s of Hie many hundred scenes of historical accuracy. Temples and palaces in all pirKcoiiHiiosn repre sent both Kiiyptlan and Roman ' affluence. This Is the occasional screen production that startles hyi lis magnificence and by the huge-j ness of Its representation. ' Theila Burn is already an Idol of the screen but by her portrayal of i the passionate nnd slrenlc Clntw j palra, she has advanced as an ac-1 tress In a way Hint is almost Incom parable. She Is said to realize as Cleopatra every phase of amatory; enticement that comiuered all who came under her Influence, winning both .lullus dinner 'and Mare An-, tony rnmi I lie call of leadership I only to bo followed by their down-' rail. It Is a graphic slory that has been exposed with rare fidelity to Almost a Voiiiib .Man Attain. When n man awakes la the niorn iiiK with back so stiff he can hardly stoop over, with sliootliiK twlnnes in sides and nioins, dark anil puffed pouches under eyes when his move ments seem slowed up and he lacks vim mid eneiKV Instead of Biiylnn.

There are wonderful battle scenes such as the battle of l'hilllpi; Oetavlns' army coming over the desert Kinds on the run to enter Alexandria, and tin? naval battle of Aciiuni with tl.e defeat 'of An tony and ( leopatra s ships, which Ir. the lirst naval battle ever re corded; It is shown on Hie screen for the first time. Thousands of people are seen in the prediction and hundreds of horses, many of them drawing speeding chailoti over the sands. Cleopalra's entry into Tarsus in her royal barge, propelled by lier black slaves at the oars, is one of splendor in settinj?. It is her first meeting with Antony, who suc coiiis Immediately to he:- charms and they leave togellier on the barge lor Alexandria, where he becomes a slave to her ' bidding. The fen st of Isis as is, given at the palace is another gorgeous dis play of color and effect. The scene in the ltonian senate nail the death of Caesar, followed by An tony's oca I ion over his body- at the market place, surrounded by hordes of followers, is also greata nil, .WK.'V;. taeniae. ' This picture is declared to be the greatest of all film productions, the orchestral music, accompaniment iie'ng illustrative of the scenes. SLIGHT DAMACK BY l'IKI'.
