Fortunately or unfortunately the
woild has no visible record of the
sinking of ihe Lusitania thegreat-
est tragedy of the war and the
final impetus which drove us into
it True we have had word pic-
tures but they draw largely upon
the imagination It has remained
2 for Jewel to give to the world
through the famous artist Winsor
ea Mi Cay a living pen picture of the
I sinking of the Lusitania and in a
way this is more effective than an
actual moving picture of the sink-
ing could possibly be It is a re-
markable piece of work It is the
only record the world will ever
have of its most momentous catas-
trophe In every way it is as
authentic as possible t
Winsor McCay obtained his first
idea of the actual sinking from the
noted war correspondent August
F Beach who was the first news
paperman to obtain the detailed
stories of the survivors who reach-
ed land It is impossible to over-
estimate the importance of Mr
Beach’s analytical report the
mathematical problems of which
were worked out by Lieutenant
Commander J H Barnard U S
N Twenty-two months of work
and twenty-five thousand separate
drawings entered into this production
