1529 UNIVERSAL PEACE

A beautiful, allegorical picture of the inauguration of peace amongst all the nations. Peace, in the guise of a beautiful maiden, enters, and mounting a central pedestal summons all the nations into her presence. They advance in couples: England and America, Germany and France, Spain and Italy, and as each couple make obeisance to Peace they also cordially shake hands with one another, Peace meantime waving over them the olive branch. Lastly enter Russia and Japan , and their reluctance at tbe first to clasp hands brings a gentle protest from all the nations, and finally they both fall on their knees at the foot of the throne of Peace, having first cordially shaken hands and laid down their banners intertwined, the film thus finishing up with an impressive and artistically beautiful tableau.
