A GIGANTIC FILM REPRODUCTION AT KING'S.
Every previous attempt to vividly portray warfare on the screen is insig-. niiicant when compared with, that to be screened on Monday night, 'entitled "The Battle of Gettysburg." The battle of Gettysburg was one of the most sanguinary in the world's history. Wonderfully fine is the perspective m those scenes where the battle is raging at its height, and fresh proof is supplied thereby of the remarkable possibilites of the camera when fitted with telephoto lens. After the artillery have dashingly paved the. way for a final assault on ■" The Little Round Top" as Gettysburg is termed, Pickett's Division, the " Flower of the South," composed of tried men and veterans, all receive the order to charge. This stirring episode is magnificently depicted, and the audience was quite carried away by the vivid -realism of it all. Interwoven with this fine presentation is a tender story of the love of a " soldier of the North" for a beautiful "girl of the South." The whole will be embellished by special music of a military and American national character, spiritedly played by King's orchestra. Good pictures precede this fine feature. -
