A Beautiful Love Story Against a Background of the Cyclonic Events of Today—Taking place in the Great Amphitheatre of the World's struggle. LOVE THRILLS COMEDY ROMANCE The Splendor of Great Hopes, Desires. The Glory of the Courage of the Human Heart. See how Jim Young of Youngstown, Pennsyl- vania, matches skill and brains against a Prussian Plot to Wreck the City of Lon- don. See the sailing of the great fleet of Zeppelins; the swirl of the German air squadrons sweeping the sky and the glare of bursting shrapnel. See how noble women of England are fighting side by side with our heroine in our little play. Extraordinary as it may seem—a story taken from actual events. Glories—thrills—excitement on the stage of now, where Fate, the Greatest Director, is putting on the most magnificent dran^a the world has ever seen. We send **The Great Love^ to you with one hope—that it will bring: you Success. RELEASED AUGUST 12th, THROUGH ARTCRAFT D. W. GRIFFITH FILMS A. L.
