Certainly one of the greatest literary successes of our time. This work has been translated into every [sic] language and its sale has reached millions of copies. It is therefore an event, so to speak, which we cannot allow to escape us. To follow the book throughout would be pretentious and impossible of realization ; so we have taken out of it, and arranged in one film, those parts which are the most interesting. Pathé Catalogue U.

MovieDramaHistory
In this interesting picture we are given a vivid idea of the principal incidents connected with the Dreyfus case, which caused such a stir in military circles in the year of 1894. Alfred Dreyfus, an officer on the general staff, was charged with selling secrets to a foreign power. He was tried and judged guilty on flimsy evidence, and sentenced to imprisonment on Devil's Island, where he remained for eight years, until his influential friends, who took up his case in earnest, proved it was a plot formed by other officers, who subsequently confessed to having forged the documents.

Historical legend composed of five Scenes. 1. William Tell's heroism. 2. The Plot. 3. The Apple. 4. Death of Gessler. 5. The Swiss cheer their Liberator.
