DRAMATIC WORLD
WAR PICTURE' IS
PREVIEWED IRE
Exceeding the promise oj it moit
enthusiastic advance reports and
proving Itself the most powerful of
the war films yet released, "The
First World War," was shown yes
terday by George A. Hunt at a special
preview for a group of officials of
the American Legion and a repre
sentative of the Mail Tribune, who
followed It with absorbed and breath
less attention.
"The First World War" was in
spired by the sensational book oi
Laurence Stalling by the same title,
one of the real publishing feats of
its day. Stallings, long known as one
of America's outstanding authorities
and commentators on the World
War, haa edited the film In the
same spirit and with the same suc
cess that attended his sponsorship of
the book
It Is the biggest story that Fate
( ever wrote. Watching it unfold, one
nas the sense that Its every scene is
a living newspaper headline; for
every incident is a drama which
helped to write' world history.
The editorial skill employed In the
creation of this amazing film baa
made it one of the most potent
pleas for peace ever presented. Yet
it is in no respect a preachment.
Attended by Laurence fitalUngs biting
and ironic comments, its sequences
I picture the World War step by step
from its inception and before to
Ita conclusion. Scenes of trench, war
fare alternate with intimate glimpses
of the home life of Europe's mon
arch. Mighty scenes of conflict at
sea are varied with sequences from
the secret archives of many nations,
photographed behind the lines during
the war and never before revealed
to the public.
Among the world figures who ap
pear in the film, many of them in
unguarded and Intimate views, when
they were unaware of the presence
of a camera, are' King George, the
Kaiser, Lloyd George, Wilson, Lenin,
Trotsky, the late King Alexander ot
Jugoslavia, King Albert, King Al
fonso, the Prince of Wales, the Crown
Prince of Germany JiiVu h' '"amii,
Emperor Franz Joseph and many
others.
According to present plans the pic
ture will be shown In Medford soon,
under .the auspices of the American
Legion.

popular pictures he has ever made.

"Little Man, What Now?" at Roxy

The picture ranks with the Im

depth, tenderness and beauty. It has
the additional value of timeliness.
