/CREENL AND HONOR PAGE <JMarch 1926 C Fred \iblo during the driven davs in Italy. Hail Niblo, Maestro! ^ — 2 c7he mighty film production of BeivHur dominates the world of motion pictures today. It brings Fred Niblo to the very peak of glory — a giant among directors. Why? Through his ability to make the life of his picture seem to be really life. It is as if this man equipped with a news camera had gone back through the centuries and then, as a good news cameraman will, "shot" daily scenes of those times and places, recording the wars and miracles, the glories and the horrors with only honest news value in mind. In other words, here at last is an entire film which is living Reality, and this, too, in spite of the fact that this is a picture of such unreal truths as the ineffableness of the Madonna and the stirring vision of the Star of Bethlehem.
