"AVENGING CONSCIENCE"
"Avenging Conscience" is my
supreme achievement. It is a
greater picture than my "Birth
of a Nation.' It is two years
ahead of its time."

masterpiece in sLx reels which
at the Heilig Theatre, Portland,
"Avenging Conscience," broke
'all attendance records at the
Strand Theater, New York,
where the manager declared it
was the greatest picture ever in
his house. At Seattle, the Mel
bourne Theatre showed it to
greater throngs than 'saw "The
