“HEARTS OF THE WORLD”

— <L Hearts of the W0r14,” one of tha motion picture sensations of the last three years, produced by D. W. Griffith, maker of “The Birth of a Nation,will be presented for the first time at the Princess on Monday, March 10th, and two performances will be given. War scenes on a vast scale, filmed on the battlefields of France, under the auspices of the British and French war offices, surround the main plot of a romance in a little French village.

The photoplay occupied eighteen months in the making, during which time Mr. Griffith and his entire company of players were almost continuously working within range of the German guns. Misses Lillian and Dorothy Gish, Robert Harron, George Fawcett and Master Ben Alexander are the most prominent of the large interpreting company. As was the rule with all former Griffith productions, “Hearts of the World” will be presented with all the elaborate sound effects necessary to lend a reality to the picture, and a music score of unusual brilliancy will be performed by an augmented symphony orchestra.
