Aside from the proceeds Being in aid of the Navy League, this picture is one of the world's very best productions. No picture has received such flattering press notices, for in addition to its super-magnifi-cence it is historic, inspirational, something that discloses the colossal nature of the, defence a modern emß' pire needs to ensure its very exis*. tnce.
