The. rainy day in which the bridge across the river was swept away; that day when “Black Beauty” saved lil.s master’s life; the rescue of the horses from the burning stables: the hunt, and the i'aoe between horse and locomotive ni'o some of the spectacular scenes ill this film that cost an enormous amount to produce. Jean Paige and an all-star caste of players compose one of the largest and most expensive castes ever assembled for a mammoth special production. David Smith, an Englishman born and brought tip in the locality of the story, food ns one of the best directors of films in which animals phiy an import, niit part, directed the production. He has interpreted accurately, and wonderfully the quaint, homely story of the simple, wholesome characters in Anna Sewell’s l>ook.
