David W. Gurfith’s first picture production for
r Artcraft, “The Great Love,” a remarkable photo
1 play in which Queen Alexandra and many women
of the British nobility are (pictured, is to be pre
sented at our playhouse next Saturday, has caused
a profound sensation among our clientele.
This is the first time that the great productions
of Mr. Griffith, the man who created “The Birth of
a Nation,” “Intolerance,” “Hearts of the World”
% and other screen triumphs, are available to the
general public at regular prices, and for the first
9 time also, Mr. Griffith’s famous stars, including
Lillian Gish, Henry B. Walthall, Robert Harron,
George Fawcett and others, are seen in Artcraft
* pictures.
“The Great Love” is in every respect a splendid
t photoplay of love, war and national devotion to the
1 service of country and world democracy. It is a
| production fully up to the high standard of artistery
J for which the name of Griffith stands and for which
he has become famous in the field of the silent
f drama.
We know of no cinema production that surpasses
in beauty and popular interest those bearing the
f Griffith-Artcraft trade mark and we recommend
“The Great Love” to you with the firm conviction
that you will acclaim it one of the very best spec
I acles ever displayed at our theatre.
We hope to see you at the premier, a 7-reel
production.
Also Fatty Arbuckle Comedy.
