"Civilization" contains scenes of modern warfare, among them, one in which a submarine destroys a gigantic ship. This picture shows war in all its horrors and is an argument for permanent peace.

Linder has made three comedies for Essanay, the first of which will be shown to- day. The other two, which will be shown at the Arcade later on, are "Max in a Taxi" and "Max Wants a Divorce."
