'The Crisis'
Lincoln's memorable flcbate with
Douglas, which precipitated the civil
war by showing exactly where the
presidential candidate, afterwards
successful, stood with regard to the
absorbing questions of slavery and
states' rights, is among the numerous
historical incidents vividly portrayed
in "The Crisis." which the Sherman
Kllliott company will present at the
Brandeis theater for eight days, be
ginning Sunday, January 21, with two
performances daily. The debate is set
in the picturesque backwoods of the
Illinois period, with torchlight proces
sions, bonfires and the fanfaro of rude
trumpets and drums.
Abraham Lincoln. n essential char
acter in the romance of "The Crisis."
is introduced frequently throughout
the course of the story, and is a cen
tral figure in the plot as well as in
the historical background. It is he
who reunites the lovers after years
of separation in the discords of hate
and strife that attended the long war.
The hero is a "Yankee" and the girl
a "rebel" and thy were originally
thrown together. at a slave auction in
the border city of St. Louis. The
slave auction is vividly screened in
the photoplay production.
Among the other histbrical scenes
which promise to make "The Crisis"
a sensation are the bombardment and
fall of Fort Sumter; he meeting in
Lincoln's cabinet to consider means
for saving the United States intact;
the rush of north and south to arms,
and the battle of Vicksburg, fought in
detail by both the land- and river
forces.
"The lOisis" i is accompanied
throughout by a special musical score
based on patriotic and romantic
themes, interpretative of the scene
being flashed on the screen, and ren
dered by a ful symphony orchestra.
"Great Expectations"
"Great Expectations" is an adapta
tion of the novel by Charles Dickens.

"Pip" is an orphan who lives with
his sister, wh'ose husband runs a
country blacksmith, shop. The boy's
life is a drab one until, in an effort
to escape his sister's wrath, he runs
into a graveyard, where he is seized
by an escaped convict, Provis, who
threatens him with instant death if
he does not procure him food and a
file with which to remove the ball and
chain froai his ankle.
The terrified Pip does as he is bid,
only to havejhe convict captured and
brought to the blacksmith shop,
where poor Pip nearly expires for
(ear he will be apprehended. But the
grateful Provis lies to save htm. The
next great step in the history of Pip
is the arrival of Mr.'Jaggers, a Lon
don lawyer, who is so struck by his
gentility that he selects him as a
companion for Estella, the adopted
daughter of his client, Miss Havis
ham, a most secretive and peculiar
woman.
The companionship of the two
youngsters ripens into loveas they
grow older, until Pip learns to his dis
may that Miss Havisham has deliber
ately encouraged them with the pur
pose of breaking his heart. The
young lovers are separated and Pip
is made the beneficiary of a legacy
which enables him to go to London,
live as a gentleman and be thoroughly
educated. He does not know the
source of this income, but believes
that Miss Havisham is secretly mak
ing amends for her cruelty.
He finally discovers the where
about of Estella and they plight their
troth. On that very night Pip is
dashed to the depths of despair by
the arrival of Provis, the convict, who
reveals the fact that it is he who has
been supplying Pip with money. The
poor boy believes that Estella will
scorn him when she learns the truth,
but he has reckoned without the finer
qualities of Estella, who comes to his
assistance and even helps the con
vict in his fata! effort to escape the
police. Over his dead body there
arises the vision of a new romance
as the two young lovers do homage to
the better side of this remarkable
man's character.
