"Hearts of tho World,'-' which is a picture all classes should see, is billed to be shown here on Tuesday night. Mr Lloyd George, in his farewell message to Mr D. W. Griffith, prior to the latter's departure from London for tho battlefields of France, said: —"You will produce 'Hearts of the World' to aid humanity. The ideal back of your splendid story is a message to eivilisa- , tion, that its fight will not be in vain. ■ Let me be the first to predict that when you have completed your labours you will have produced a masterpiece which will carry a message around the world—a story which will inspire every heart with patriotism, with love of countrj', with the great cause for which tho cicilised nations are now fighting in France. This, Mr Griffith, is the greatest and most wonderful task you , have ever attempted. God speed you in your great work, and grant that you may aecomplish your desires." I It is claimed that all records in the - history of motion pictures have been beaten by this wonderful film, and we specially rccontnend ail to see it.
