Three things were uppermost In the minds of the audience at the Hammond Orpheum theatre this afternoon when the first exhibition of the new Griffith spectacle. 'Hearts of the World" which will appear for five days, was given T h e e things were: First, the sweet love story !n a great setting of war. taken on the battlefields of France. Second, the excellency of the music bv the twelve piece symphony orchestra. Third, the coolness of the despite the eharacter of the theatre, w eather ou tside. The last f. explained by the fact that the Orpheum !s a steel, brick and stone structure and that it has one of the most complete cooling systems possible. Air is pumped by great fan sto all parts of the house through coils of pipe pecked in ice. It Is ten to twenty degrees cooler in the house than on the street. The Indianapolis News of June 17th. sa- s of the picture: "Griffith, master of the cinema, has surpassed himself In 'The Hearts of the World." He has set a. new standard for motion pieture. production which I o is not likely that even Griffith himself! will surpass. Griffith has caught the feeling that today fills the earth and he has fixed it as a living, vivid, graphic record, a tremendous human document that brings the war and all that it means and all that it is. its causes. Its hopes, its fears, its anxieties, its stupendous import bring them all to the thresholds. "Hearts of the World" indeed is war at its word and that its best ".
