The plot of the epic was premised on the Central Powers exploited American Pacifists to keep the U.S. from arming itself and then attacking the militarily unprepared and weak U.S. In the movie all kinds of atrocities are then committed against Americans. The movie directed by J. Stuart Blackton and Wilfrid North starred Charles Richman Norma Talmadge Mary Maurice and L. Rogers Lytton. 26.5 by 18.5 cm. 4 pp. but with the qualities of a broadside on the front cover or first page as well as the inner two pages in which a dozen scenes of the movie are set forth with still photos and captions. The back cover has quotes from famous Americans past and present along with an endorsement of the movie by Theodore Roosevelt whose assistance was supposedly instrumental in the producer getting assistance from the War Department. Also listed on the last page are the special effects employed in the movie such as the bombardment of new York whole buildings toppling Wall Street in flames sea battles and much much more. <br /><br /> Printer: The Libbie Printing Co. books

27179Oblong folio 350 x 260 mm. Unbound. Notated in black ink on 12-stave hand-ruled paper. Watermark: star and "DFI." i blank 11 pp. Signature of 3 bifolia. Unsigned and undated. A fair copy. <br/><br/>Contents:<br/>- Andante/All:to in E-flat major common time<br/>- All:to Vivace in E-flat major common time<br/>- Marcia da Tartaro Allegretto in B-flat major cut time<br/>- Tempo di Polacca in F major 3/4 time<br/>- Marcia trionfale Allegretto Vivace in B-flat major 2/4 time<br/><br/>Slightly soiled; outer margin of first blank leaf browned; final leaf creased at lower outer corner. We have been unable to establish either the composer or the scribe. The overall style of writing with capital F but lowercase p for dynamics from pp to FF plus "cres" occasional use of "8va" and "loco" but sparse articulation and with expressive marks limited to an occasional "dolce" seems to point to ca. 1800. The style is rather simple; the first two pieces are strangely formless with the first ending on a four-six chord suggesting that the composer was an amateur. unknown books
