Kalem Company — The International Producers. A COMING FEATURE “War’s Havoc” Gigantic Civil War Production Released Monday, April 15th No spectacular military production has ever approached this masterpiece, in which one sensational episode follows another. General Sherman’s famous statement is well exemplified, but there is nothing gruesome or revolting in the picture. It is gripping throughout and the limitations of the camera have apparently been overcome. Two old wood-burning locomotives of the 6o’s meet in a spectacular collision on a high bridge. One engine draws a string of flat cars, loaded with soldiers. The heroine and negro mammy destroy the enemy by starting the other locomotive and leaping into the river just before the collision takes place. Telegraph lines are destroyed and messages sent in a strategic manner. There are battle scenes which in massiveness and rapidity of action have never been equalled. Kalem’s star players enact the leading roles — which are intensely dramatic — and hundreds of men and horses take part in the military engagements. There is a thrill in every foot of the film.
