"Hearts of the World" With Excellent Symphony Orchestra Draws Audience to Its Feet Cheering, at Hammond Orpheum. a. movi:: g picture at the nd Orpheum theatre that every of t! e ritv will he better for S'Ptl It is David Griffith's 'Hearts of the V,"orM." whi-'h needs no introduction fr !t has been widely advertised t hro u g ho;: t The country as the greatest of war dramas. During the flve-dav fnswmptit in Hammond which beaan yesterday a symphony orchestra of 12 pieces, by Eueen Spever. tor two year assistant conductor of the PsT n Symphony orchestra, plavs a sco;e that is fifty per cent of the produ.--t on. The company. Including a crew enframed back staee In artillery effects, i- in charge of Manager Arch Mac- ( ; vern. "Hearts of the World" Is a Gripping 1-ve storv and thrilling warfare and the genuineness rf th battle scenes are vouched for by the British government which permitted Griffith to ike pictures from the front line covering a period of eighteen months. From a historical standpoint St Is of the greatest value. But "Hearts of the World" is more than that. It is the greatest of all rr-ragar.da picture.' nr.d it will no c;ouhr do more to bring home t- the peopio rf the I'nited States what they r re s--r.dT.g their boys to France for :-.:n anvMtr.pr th ir. Its '.penin g fr--nes are in a peaceful village of T':ane before the war and have-to do "'!-h th" love affairs of the young -..-pie. That village under bombardrer.t ar.d under German occupation Is shown with full histori" truth. And t'-e finale comes when the German ar-r-v cf occupation Is driven out and the. loved ones united. This plot may appear simple and H really is within the understanding of sll classes. Therein lies a gr-&t de&l rf its power. At Gary foreign speak -ir-sr people attending "Alli-s Night" caueht the spirit of the picture although unable to read. Griffith draws action from h's camera lens as with a sweep of a brush. He show? us the very heel of an acori a.i scurries ahead of our vision.
