Cast from United States marine corps : Major Thomas Holcomb, Major Ross E. Rowell, Captain Thomas Sterrett, Lieutenant J. F. Rorke, Sergeant Moss Gill, Sergeant Percy Webb, Corporal Bob Ryland, Fourth Battalion. When . shown at the Rlvoli theatre, N. Y., "The Unbeliever" created tremendous enthusiasm and the presence of marine detachments from stations In and around New York upon the stage with buglers, color bearers and drummers during each performance went far toward arousing patriotic fervor and keeping interest in the production at white heat. But the picture can safely stand on its own mrit without outside aid. It is be

yond question one of the best stories dealing with present war conditions yet filmed. It palpitates with vigorous action, tender emotion and clean, wholesome sentiment. The utter absence of fullsome gush and maudlin appeal to hysterical sympathy, so painfully frequent in the shaping of plays concerning the great struggle, is something to be deeply thankful for. "The Unbeliever", which comes to the Washington Suqday, Monday and Tuesday, is realism at Its best, artistic, convincing, splendidly directed, a picture which no exhibitor can afford to miss. As regards the cast, Raymond McKee is extremely pleasing in the character of the young aristocrat who enlists with the Marines and by virtue of hard experience learns to conquer the "three things" which his mother considers flaws in his character his class prejudice, disbelief in God and race hatred. Marguerite Courtot is winsome and attractive as Vtrginie Harbrook, and the other members .of the company supply creditable support. Surprisingly good work is done by the real Marine officers who appears In the production, Captain Thomas Sterrett and Lieutenant J..F. Rorke, acting "as to the manner born." with their comrades arising manfully to the demands made upon them. The war atmosphere of dugouts, trenches and No Man's Land is reproduced with remarkable fidelity. Better camera work could not be wished for, and many of the long shots, clear, vivid and startling, recall those which won for "The Birth of a Nation" much of its lasting renown in film land. The sub-titles embody plenty of Incisive dry humor, as well as the note of patriotism they convey, and viewed from any angle it is safe to predict a lasting triumph for this unique feature.
