The neipal of these fortified ices was Bethulia It is re. ited that Nebuchadnezzar sent lolofernes, chief captain of his }army, With one hundred and twenty thousand men to visil vengeance on all the earth When he came to Judea he met an unexpected defence by the Jews of Bethulia He stormed the walls, but was unable to eap ture the city. He then sat dow to starve it into submission having taken possession of all the springs and wells from which jthe city had its supply of water IThe result was that the inhabi tants began dying of thrist and famine and begged the elders to surrender to the enemy From ithis intolerable situation the city was relieved by the bravery and self-sacrifice of Judith, a beautiful widow of Bethulia. At a great feast given in her honor she induced Holofernes to. dis- miss his guards and enter a llonely tent with her, and when he was overcome with wine she cut off his head and escaped back to the city. Her unexpected jreturn with the head of Holof- jernes inspired the Jews of Be thulia with new courage, and making a desperate sally from its gates the invading army was |driven back with enormous loss and Bethulia and all Judea were thus saved Strictest attention to detail in costume, weapons and instruments of war, cus toms of the people and correct scenic background make this one of the most remarkable spectacles ever produced in moving pictures.
