Love and War

Edison summary: An illustrated song telling the story of a hero who leaves for the war as a private, is promoted to the rank of captain for bravery in service, meets the girl of his choice, who is a Red Cross nurse on the field, and finally returns home triumphantly as an officer to the father and mother to whom he bade good-by as a private. The film presents this beautiful song picture in six scenes, each of which has a separate song, making the entire series a complete and effective novelty. PARTING. - "Our hero boy to the war has gone." Words and music. CAMPING. - "What! A letter from home." Words and music. FIGHTING. - The battle prayer. "Father, on Thee I Call." Words and music. CONVALESCING. - "Weeping, Sad and Lonely." Words and music. SORROWING. - The mother's lament. "Come back, my dear boy, to me." Words and music. RETURNING. - When our hero boy comes back again. Hurrah! Hurrah! "Star Spangled Banner." Words and music. The above scene can be illustrated either by a soloist, quartette or with an orchestra, and with or without stereopticon slides. This series of animated pictures, when properly illustrated or announced by stereopticon reading matter, should make a great success.
