“On the Bank« of the Wabash” is
a remarkable screen conception ,of
the theme and spirit that Paul Dres
ser sought to transmit to the worl 1
when he wrote the song which in
spired J. Stuart Blackton to make
the film of the same name. It carries
with it all of the down home spirits
the dominance of the soil, the kindly
hearts; the narrow, misconstrued,
well-meaning souls in a home com
munity, and carries to the audience
all the p< tty little things that disturb
gentle lives and bring men and wo-
nu n to the heights in face of grave
dangers. Such was the song, a trib
ute to a stirring, daring people, who
lived and-loved and fought and made
up in the sight of the whirling waters
of the Wabash. And such is the pic
ture that has seized the very throb
bing, soul-stirring appeal of the pul
sating rung and vitalized it on the
screen. “On the Banks of the Wa
bash’’ is undoubtedly one of the
screen -triumphs of the year. It is a
picture of back home folks that : every
one will want to see and that every
one will always remember.
