- A Spectacular Photo-Drama
- Hailed by critics as a master effort greater even than the wonderous "QUO VADIS?" Through the beautiful, idle, slumberous City of Pompeii, following closely the thread of a love tale idylic, Lord Bulwer's mighty story sweeps on to scenes of almost preternatural power. The destruction of Pompeii-the mad scurryings of the demented thousands amid a hail of smoking cinders and blasts of flame- the fall of great pillars-the collapse of temples-makes one feel that his ears ring with the shrieks of the terror-maddened multitudes of the stricken city. "THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII" was made at Turin and Pompeii, Italy. Nearly 5,000 people were employed in the making- a tremendous throng of daintily garbed, picturesque Italians. (Print Ad-Toronto Sunday World, ((Toronto, PO)) 15 March 1914)
