"HEART OF HUMANITY” SURPASSES ALL PRODUCTIONS

' “The Humanity,” screened at the Princess theatre Wednesday afternoon and evening, and which is again being shown today, surpasses all screen productions previously shown here. Film critics have termed the play the last ' thing in filmdom. Crowded houses greeted the performance both in the afternoon and evening, and all who witnessed it proclaimed it the greatest screen play ever shijwn here, pronouncing is as superior to “The Birth a Nation” and “Hearts of the World.” The play is beautifully done and dramatically strong. Although a long feature, there is never a time when the interest is not to the fore, being sustained in scenes’ that are based on true patriotism, with many others that reach heroism of the most genuine kind. The scenes are presented with a reklism that causes the impression to last. The play bears an alien atmosphere but at the same time is very real and close to the audience.
