C jr* V* Not the Lincoln of bronze monuments, but the Lincoln of flesh and blood jesting isnd t "° most romantic figure in the world—n master of men piloting a torn nation through a tempest of jealousy and hate—a simple soul vßiose great love for humanity carried him through the turmoil of battle and the sweet fragrance of a touching romance. ACCLAIMED BY THE PRESS OF THE WORLD A FEW FROM LONDON PRESS REVIEWS: "The words in this talking picture, written direct for films, are more b&utiful, more dramatic nnd tnore poignant than any 1 have yet heard in any talking picture. The incidents brought together for the cumulative value, all contribute to the most magnificent and soul-stirring climax we have so far seen on the screen. There is sequence after sequence in this picture amounting to nothing less than genius. There is, for the hrst time, a perfect blending of picture and music. —" Sunday Referee." "The loveliest thing that has happened since the film found its voice. A masterpiece—' Abrahanr Lincoln'leaves me bereft of words, so tender is its sentiment, so sure its drama, so poignant its tragedy, and so certainly does tho diapason of its music travel to the secret places of the heart."—Walter Webster, in Sunday Pictorial. "A very impressive and remarkable film. Huston gives the performance of a lifetime In the name part. Thero U a wealth of rapid action, too, which makes this talkie particularly effective.—"Sunday News. " Vitally interesting and profoundly moving. Walter is as much Lincoln as George Arliss was Disraeli—a magnificent performance."—Eric Dunston, in "The Star." "'Abraham Lincoln," now at Sydney Lyceum, outclasses 'Disraeli' inasmuch as it is historically accurate and much more spaciously and imaginatively produced. The cinema is at its best in a picture like this, which is a work of art, an inspiration (nationally and otherwise) and a fine entertainment, all in one." —"Sydney Bulletin. HHZJT?
