June 13, 1914. MOTOGRAPHY 15 "WILLIAM TELL" Picturization of Schiller's Immortal Drama In Six Parts Actually produced on the lofty heights of the beautiful Alps, presenting backgrounds of wonderful and awe-inspiring grandeur. The stage of Europe was scoured to secure the right types for this masterpiece, and the sturdy characters are shown by the greatest cast of stars ever assembled in a moving picture production. Tell, the giant, is represented by Karl Kienlechner, who performs feats of strength to amaze the ordinary mortal. The Freeing of Switzerland And the story of William Tell, and how he was forced by the tyrant Gessler to shoot an apple from his boy's head, is known to every child in the civilized world. This picture version grippingly shows the struggle of thousands of liberty loving people for independence, and is so accurate that Schiller's own words — sparkling gems of literature — are used as sub-titles — a fitting climax to the greatest and most artistic presentation ever conceived in motion photography.
