Tk Old and Beautiful Story
It Has Touched 50.000,000 Hearts
"The power of the moving picture
should be used to inculcate warnings
and lessons that the world needs. And,
intertwined with the horrors, madness
and fearful lessons of the French Revo
lution, the sad story of the two orphans
presents a warning, not only to indi-

The other at the hands of degenerate "nobility"
barely escapes a fate more hideous.
Through the horrors of the French Revolution,
uhder the very shadow of the guillotine posts, where
hi.ngs the dreadful knife, the wonderful picture by
Diivid Wark Griffith takes the two sisters.
; You see, and believe that you actually hear, the
hijleous rabble, the brutality debauched nobility, the viduals, but to nations
violent jealousies and hatreds of the revolutionary
leaders.
Danton, who ruled the mob, and was sent by Robes
pierre to lose his head under the blade, and that same
Robespierre are living figures in this drama.
No story has ever so strongly affected those that
see it as this story, told in a picture of absolute truth
and 'terrific power.
- As the flowers at last cover every battlefield, so
the sun comes out after the bloodshed and the horror
of the revolution. And the sisters are happily reunited.
It is a story of devotion, love, pathos, romance,
adventure, and David Wark Griffith tells it in the most
powerfully beautiful picture ever shown.
Fifty millions of people all over the world have
seen "The Two Orphans." Hundreds of millions will
see that story living, and moving in Griffith's
"ORPHANS OF THE STORM," to be shown all over
the world as long as human joy and sorrow, and terrific
national power shall interest earth's inhabitants.

"Some fathers and mothers
have forgotten that THEIRS "
is the responsibility.
"Two generations have wept over
the beautiful, pathetic, powerful story of
'The Two Orphans,' separated, cast
adrift at the world's mercy.
"But what about gilrls, not orphans in fact, but orphans in
spiritual neglect because fathers and mothers do not understand
this world's hideous 'dangers?
"In the story of the Two Orphans, which Mr. Griffith calls
Orphans of the Storm,' jcarents may read the dangers to which
their daughters are exposed even today in the world's great and
cruel cities.
"And in the story of the Wrench Revolution told in this picture
simultaneously, people may see what happens when they desert

"Knowing the importance and the "Mr. Griffith calls his picture
nowerforoodorillof the movins pic- ORPHANS OF THE STORM, and
ture that appeals so strongly to all ages,
I endeavor to keep track of important
developments in that industry and to
know what is being done. Needless to
say, however, I have not gone to thea
tres since my conversion, devoting all
time and energy to evangelistic work to
which my life is consecrated.
"Such a picture as Mr. Griffith has
made, showing powerfully with light
ning illumination the dangers of unpro
tected girlhood and the hideous excesses
of a mob run wild, is a national lesson
and sermon of highest value. Would that
every story carried on trie screen or
printed page might have a lesson as
most appropriately. Never was there
a more horrible storm than that in
which the rage, fury and the animal
fttjte of an oppressed people burst forth
in the French Revolution. Never was
anything conceived more dreadful than
tha guillotine, working all day long,v
with its dropping, dripping blade.
I and all that take seriously the
world's problems, are interested in the
idea of presenting together the adven
tures and sorrows of unprotected girl
hood, the story of 'The Two Orphans,'
and the dreadful power of a people
broken loose from all restraint.
"Mr. Griffith has planned and pro
duced, in addition to a beautiful story,
a double lesson, such a lesson as you
see in the great 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,'
in Victor Hugo's 'Les Miser ablest or
Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress.'
