Decidedly interesting and intelligently han- dled. . . The picture is the first of a tril- ogy—successfully such." N.Y.

The picture also shows the inauguration of George Washington as first President of the United States, and recounts the story of the rebellion against the levy of an excise tax. Hamilton is first seen as an aide to General Washington during the War. These scenes were photographed around Washington's Headquarters at Mor- ristown. New Jersey. In the reproduction of President Washington's inauguration permission was obtained to use the original copy of the Bible upon which George Wash- ington took the oath of office. It is open at the same page, and the actor's hand rests upon the same chapter and verse as did Washington's." Producer "Old but still authentic and highly in- structive."
