for the filming of "His Majesty, the |

?picture which is now playing at the
Victor Theater. Director Joseph llena
berry, with the assistance of Klton
Hanks, labored for eight solid weeks
on the development of the scenario.
Mr. Henaberry created the part of
"Lincoln" in "The Mirth of a Nation"

"Say Young Fellow" and other pic

Kussia possessed the area and the ter
ritorial coherence, but, to pain mobil- j
ity. had to seek un outlet to warm
>cas. Krmland Had area, and her eom
icand of the sea gave her mobility, but
she lacked internal coherence. It wasj
necessary for her to make a broad land
bridge uniting her African and Indian
possessions. Germany had internal co
herence, but required additional area
and freedom of movement. There was
therefore an inevitable clash between,
the three powers, which centered In I
