"THE IRON HORSE ” NOW AT LIBERTY.
| GREAT RAILROAD STORY DRAWS LARGE CROWDS. spa-boards of the United States presented grreat problems, and Abraham Lincoln, though worried with a civil war, considered the war secondary to the peace of the future, which could be brought about by the joining-up by railroad of the two coasts. It was a gigantic task, but it was accomplished, and it forms the basis of “The Iron Horse.” President Lincoln signs the Bill, and the constructional work goes ahead, but great difficulties are met with, the principal being- from the Indians, who do their utmost to stop the advance of the whites. They attack the advancing gangs of workers, but without avail, the two coasts being joined by railway, but the episodes with the Indians provide many exciting scenes. Throughout the picture, there is a strong romantic touch, improbable in parts, but ending happily, and there is also a good deal of humour. The supporting programme consists of an excellent series of pictures, not the least interesting being the topical Aim, showing views of sporting and historic events in many .parts of the world. The Liberty Orchestra, under Mr Ernest Jamieson, largely helps, as usual, to make the pictorial entertainment very pleasing.
