"If you are surprised, if you are hor
rified or shocked by this picture, I am
glad of it," the author said. "That was
the intention, for what is set forth is
only to a trifling degree as terrible as
what is taking place in Europe today, i
We are preachi g propaganda a peace j
propaganda but not the Bryan kind.
Then, to add to the dramatic atmos-'
phere, there is a picturesque lovable
old man made known to the audience
as Captain Jack Crawford, who served
the Union throughout the civil war.
"Captain Jack," too, talks for prepared
ness and arous s great enthusiasm
when he waves an American flag. Eng
land should devise a "Battle Cry of
Peace" in her enlistment campaign
and recruits will tumble over themsel
ves to serve "King and Country."
Technically, the Vitagraph picture
violates most of the established tradit
ions of cinematography, but by so doing
the story is told more effectively. When
the first reel is flashed on the screen
Hudson Maxim is disclosed delivering
his lecture on preparedness against
war. His words are made known by
frequent captions and these are follow
ed by graphic portrayals of his state
ments. He tells what a foreign enemy
could do, and lo, the enemy does it.
The producers have blazed a new and
interesting trail into the ' movies."
They have dared much and their judg
ment was well founded. "The Battle
Cry of Peace" ill achieve a vogue be
cause it is essentially sincere.
Of the individual performers Charles
Richman stand out above the rest. He
cannot help it; he was given the part;
but the work of Belle Bruc as Alice
Harrison discloses that she is an emo
tional actress of more than ordinary
ability. Mary Maurice, as the mother,
maintains her right to honorable men
tion, as do the other principals.
