The pictures present with increasing and absorbing interest the details of the work of construction, the difficulties encountered and the hardships overcome in such a colossal engineering problem.

Film Depicts Making of Pictures
The making of moving pictures is a subject that holds interest for all, but for no class so much as the picture theater goers. Therefore, Thanhouser is bound to interest the photofan with its "Evidence of the Film," released Friday, January 10, which picture's the making of pictures. A company of photoplayers is first shown producing a street scene. Later comes the mechanical part of the producing business, the factory with its paraphernalia for putting the photoplayer's performance into canned circulation. The story is that an unscrupulous broker changes the packages that a messenger boy carries— substitutes one of worthless paper for one of valuable bonds for which the lad is responsible. But the knavery takes place within the focus of the picture company's camera, which "gets" it all. The messenger is naturally arrested, but later in the picture company's factory the piece of film depicting the broker's crime comes to hand and flashed onto a screen brings liberty to the lad and prison to the knave.
