"HEARTS OF THE WORLD" ANNOUNCED D. W. Griffith's great production, "Hearts of the World" proclaimed the masterpiece of this genius of the motion picture, will be the attraction at the Opera House at Abbeville for two days, Friday and Saturday, May 9th and 10th. v From all accounts this latest of the Griffith super pictures far excels in point of drama and spectacle both his "Intolerance" and "The Birth of a Nation," two of the greatest productions in the history of entertainment. The fact that "Hearts of the World" required more than eighteen months in the making indicates that Mr. Griffith has prepared an unusually interesting and absorbing story. The producer himself is anxious to have it understood that ".Hearts of the World" is not a war play, but a simple love story amid the picturesque villages of romantic France, res .
