"CABIRIA."
"Cabiria," which is'to be screened at the King's Theatre shortly, contains a very thrilling dive. The hero, Fulvius Axilla, in fleeing from the enraged priests of the Carthaginian god Moloch, comes to some high cliffs on the seashore. He leaps into tho water below, leaving on the top the timid priests. The plunge is a real one. The cliffs where the picture was taken aro at Leghorn, and are 65 feet above the water, which is very deep there. The actor was Signor Umberto Moszato, swimmer, athlete, and diver. In another part of the film-play he has to swim ta long distance in full armour, and he has also to.climb a 50-foot human pyramid in order to scale the walls of Carthage. " Cabiria " teams with extraordinary feats of this kind.
