proclaimed the greatest achieve
ment in motion, picture photo
graphy and plot writing- since
movinf picture beeame an insti
tution. The film has been one of th
greatest successes of moving
pictures yet produced, not alone
in Portland, but in all other
cities where it has shown. It is
a large entertainment; inspired
by a purpose and representing
$1,000,000 in outlay and a year
and a half in time for tbe produc
tion. From a spectacular viewpoint
"Civilization" is a wonder play
It combines all that has been
evolved in motion picture art and
at the same time brings the es
sence of grand opera and the
essentials of the speaking stage
into play. The picture as it has
thrilled and entertained thous
ands during the last two weeks
at the Ileilig, is combined with
a veritable grand opeta score
written by the brilliant young
composer, Victor L. Schertr
zinger, 40 speaking actors in an
impressive prologue and an
orchestral snd pipe organ ac
companiment. The re'essirg of
a flock of u 'Ves at tV.e c! s of
the performance is a uniqu
novelty.
Basically the photoplay deals
with war, and Thomas H, Ince,
the producer, has provided a
war s.tting far ahead of any
other attempted by motion pic
ture geniuses. The scenes ap
proach reality of war more
nearly than it was belitved pos
sible. War-sbipa in battle, sub
marines in action, torpedoes
plowing through the watr,
trench fighting, th wrecking of
an ocean liner, enagamsnts be-tv'.'-ri
whole armies, a nival en
coui.ter between opposing fleets,
an aerial battle, industrial
destruction in the wake of land
battle -all those and many more
thriilina and impresM.'a incidents
are pratrwred together into the
picture, through whi'.'h runs a
most appaalin love stcy and a
pretty picture of mother love.

The ti ird week promises to be

sale shows a growing interest in
