56 Screen Opinions Tells the Truth matter of note, and startling tricks of double exposure and film reversal create illusions that baffle even the practiced eye. In short space we cannot give as full a description of the picture as we would like to, and must be satisfied with mentioning the special features of note such as the magic wishing chest, the flying carpet on which the lovers spirited away over the housetops, the winged horse on which the star traverses the clouds, and the cloak of invisibility which the hero must penetrate to procure the magic chest. Mr. Fairbanks’ acrobatic stunts with which each adventure is enlivened are splendidly entertaining. At present the production is too long for the average theatre. That portion of the story dealing with the effortsl of the three princes to win the beloved princess could be trimmed down with good results.
