This is literally true with one in cidental exception. While the book was written before the Civil War, in the Universal production the drama ends with the freeing of the slaves co incident with the entry on the South ern scene of the victorious Northern troops. This dramatic license Direc tor Pollard insists is justified, inas much as the conditions of slavery which created the real drama of the book, were ended by the war, the only fitting ending for theatrical pre sentation is to show that ending. Otherwise the whole story and pur pose of the book becomes merely an incident or succession of incidents in American history. There is no “war stuff” in the pic ture. The appearance of the troops on the march fit into the plot in the manner mentioned, and in no place do they show as combatants. To tell the truth Mrs. Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is a thrilling book, containing three distinct stories, melodramatic in their thrilling human intensity, and correlated through the inclusion of the same characters. As such it has stood the test of three-quarters of a cen tury of popularity in the home, the public library and on the stage. A large percentage of the huge ex penditure, it is said, went to the film ing of the many scenes in the locations depicted in the book. The story be gins in Kentucky; carries Eliza north across the Ohio river by the ‘under ground railway;” returns to Ohio, to the Mississippi, down the river to New Orleans; back up the river to Simon Legree’s plantation—“an epic sweep,” as Mr. Laemmle says, “too big for the atage.” This route, a large company under Director Pollard followed dur ing the filming, covering 26,000 miles of travel. — 4 Don’t forget the place and dates— Vamp Thcatie, Manday and Tuesday, April 1st and 2nd.—Adv.
