"INTOLERANCE"
WONDERFUL COLOUR EFFECT.
, It is claimed that one cannot viow D~. W. Griffith s new colossal spectacle "Intolerance," to be produced under the J. C. Williamson management, on Tuesday night, at the King's Theatre, without being impressed to the point of -wonder by tho marvellous colouring of the various scenes.' Mr. Griffith, whoso innovations and inventions of the technical 6ide of picture-making have dono so much to bring the photo-play to its present perfected state by the use of a special prism and double negatives, is said to have succeeded in getting coloured effects never before deemed possible. The views of ancient Babylon are said to present somo of the most beautiful colour effect photography in the history of motion pictures. In the Babylonian episides are shown thrilling battle scenes on and around the mighty walls and towers of the stronghold of Belahazzar, the magnificent, that were photographed after dark, scenes startling in their novelty, "their grandeur and their reality. The feast of Belshazzar, as reproduced by Mr. Griffith, sets a etandard in production and photography that even this master director may find it impossible to excel in any future work. Overlooking nothing that might contribute to photography of super-excellence is an important feature of Mr. Griffith's production methods. For example: Eight cameras, working at the same time, was no unusual sight during the making of "Intolerance." For tho night battle scenes one camera was mounted on a tower that was 250 feet in height. "Intolerance," we understand; is a gripping, modern story, and not Biblical. It is based on tho principle of man's inhumanity to man. It takes three hours to screen, and will bo illuminated by special music, playod by an augmented i orchestra. The plans are now open at tho Bristol for tho first five nights.
Sir J. Madden, K.C.M.G., etc., Liouten-ant-Governor and Chief Justice of Victoria, Tvhen delivering judgment in a caso in which an inferior substitute had been pushed ae "just as good" as SANDER'S EUCLATPTI EXTRACT.', said with regard to the GENUINE SANDER EXTRACT: "Whenever an article is coniraonded to tho public by Teaaon of its good quality, it is not permissible to imitate any of ita features." When using a medicine it is "good , quality" that you want, and SANDER'S EXTRACT has the endorsement and approval of tho highest authorities. Inhaled, applied locally, taken on sugar or in water as directed, SANDER'S EXTRACT ie equally beneficial because it is specially rofined and prepared by Sander's process, and contains no harmful by-effects. Ueo SANDER'S EXTRACT oniy when you desire good and lasting effects; no "just as good."—Advt.
