Mana ( ger Trowbridge announced yesterday, i Besides having a mission, this won ? derru? screen production contalos . many thrills end spectacular fea tures. I Tho following criticism of the pic ture taken from Tho Greensboro (N. .C.) Dally Eecord is a fitting tribute j to. this* masterpiece ot the screen: ! The Olympic Thcatro stepped into line last evening, and along with tho Colonial. Studebaker, Pino Arts and Ziegfeld accepted as its newest ten ant a motion picture. The picture, "Tne Battle Cry of Peace,' ls a pic torial propaganda calling to arms de fenseless America. It Is a plea agairtBt war, not for war, urging as Its battle cry a preparedness for war In time ot peace. "Tho Battle Cry of Peace," ls a pho to spectacle with a mlSBion; .It wao written "end produced by J. Stuart Blackton, president of tho Vltagraph company;-" in an effort to .wake in every American a desire to protect his loved ones. Tho ntor:, based oh Hudson -Mixtm's book, "Defenseless America" : ls' educational In Its de scription ot submarines, aeroplanes, torpedo bouta and other implements of-warfare. It comparos America to other countries and shows with a clearness .tho comparative size' of our army and navy. Hudson ?Hxirn, ap pears, and by means of small models Illustrates on the screen tho needs of our country. A love theme accompanies Mr. ^Maxim's instructive lecturo.

Ho also gave Wil liam J.

Tho oth er, evening it was the privilege pf a small party' of our te-rnamon * to witness tho'birth of the very latest step. Tho gentlemen were in v .'the northern part of .the city in what -io known as ''Nigger Town." Tho day's work had been finished and : tho plcl nlntos .from far and near had gather* od. tn tho street to engage In friendly rivalry of a display of their skill ia the old art of dancing. David never danced with moro fer vor nor Vernon Castlo -rwlth . moro .grace' than these .dusky sons and 'daughters-- sf Ham', it seemed that tho limit had been reached when ono little negro girl, blacker of skin and thinner of legs, entered the ring. \7lth the.first moremcnt df her lithe body lt Was seen, that she was a mas ter of hor. art. ' Sho blew rings around the performance? ot her com panions until they lookod^cbeap and commonplace. She then abandoned the old steps and gave' herself \ up completely to the ecstasy of "new creations Wild. eyed, breathlessly her companions, tilled with admira tion and envy, asked with one voice, ."Nigger, ' what step ts that you is dancing?" There was a proud tilt of the small head, a, lifting of tho short skirt as ; mo looked down in disdain ,on her^< vanquished compan ions, and in a Voice that trembled with elation, said "That is the 'Pepsf Cola'-stop." .v I'ellovo me,- tfcare was sorae-."Pop" to lt, and it was1 "very refreshing."" r-?Cen tributed.)

It may bo said that "Darwin's theory of tho law of na tural selection has worked out in the ease of tho motion picture and ' that the man with the Imaginative faculties has .won out. Griffith grew fuBt with the development of the si lent drama. He got too big for tho battered trenches, and he leaped out into tho open. He wanted to spread himself and had-td have room. His larger pictures.bad run the cus tomary course of "feature releases" with increasing succesS$$> but after all they were confined within the limita tions of the business side of the pres entation of motion pictures. This meant that they would be seen over tho different circuits that are laid out in Llmland and then pass out the same as others. T^olr distinctive-. ness was noticed. They surpassed other features, but after all , they wr? imt Griffith features and could only go so tar. What waa, there to do to find an outlet? The-time came when he had finished "The Birth of a Nation." He know he had a fine pieco ot work. His vision extended further than, that ot the men who control the finances of tbe motion plcturo business. A groat sum of money bad boen invested in this undertaking-more than was ever expended in tho making ot a great spectacle. '. Nearly a year of ceaseless, toll largo behind this cnbr mous expense, and here was tho man who had seen ahead of his content-" porarieB, who had evolved tho great American epic, wbo had multiplied detail until lt was staggering,* and with this behind him tho foreglance was not inspiring. There wore so many theatres and sa many Btates and BO many channels through which lt could passr and then ho was done, He know the limita tions of tho business, and he wanted lo ?break from this narrow field and go before that great public which had never - seriously rogarded the motion plcturo ns an art possibly. j Behind hhn (he had the record of several groat pictures which had been I hidden like tho lights under a bushol There was "Judith of Bethuln," as time a piece of -noetic ?mager and rhythmic grouping as the art had ever developed in America. ?- For contemporary study of tho seamy side of American life he had' vaptly improved upon tho lifo of Paul Armstrong's somewhat superficial study in heredity: "The Escapo", and made a virile thing *>f punch and pow der. He had'.combined the short story by Poe. "nie Telltale Heart", with the ?ancifMi' and lyrical quality of "Annabelle ^Bee" ?nd brought forth a classic. ,in weird mysticism, which he railed "Tho Avenging Con science." In tho trade channels these had beon recognized, as .superfino works, but theybad nevor gained' many plavs' that^wero vastly infer ior in art and poetry and Jewer. .. When Ile "Arrived.*? With "The Birth of a Notion'" com pleted, the man found himself facing tho inexorable .fact'that ho had^ created ah art which bl? aanr?piaicta abd con temporaries had (boon unable to breast np with, in their^advancemont. Ho must conquer a now world if he would njeet with ? return in finances and ar tistic recognition commensurate with tho thing-he Und done. .Ho, deniaded an outlet. His busi ness affairs had always-been lo?kod alter by'.others. These mon were ?p j peaicu Vx They . wera wining tn (Iq everything within their power and re sources, but tbe 'motion picture re sources had not progressed as rapidly as Griffith. There was not a channel open which looked" appealing to him. He insisted that there must be a way. In desperation lt ie. said that Griffith wan told that ho would be given a free rein and could go ahead with his own plans. . Having completed, his big work, lt seemed niling lt on to put tho burden on his shoulders. Griffith*? success In direction had been enhanced by bis. un canny ability to select.able lieutenant:', and players. Ho brought tho sense east with him after bis labors it? Ced! Jornia. Quietly he set about sizing up tho field, and he selected a'young man who had beon associated with the old Uno dramatic offerings. This man was J. J. M^arthy who looks after aU bf Griffith's buslneas .ater esta in the east la the capacity bf general, manager rot the controlling company which owns *jThe Birth ot a Nation." Playing for ?f?ff mases Thei. Griffith sot, about with this, beginning to gather-other forces abo?t Ijtm, and in' a month's timo, "Tito Hirth of a Nation" wa? launched. It's ah old story .how of how the wlBeacrca nil predicted a dismal failure. Grif fith wss undaunted, for he had notli ing to lose, . He knew be had a iino ie Sensational and f L?US StQ^ work, ?nd he . desired it seen end understood. Ho was playing for higher Btakos. The anvil chorus rang with nil that mellow deptfc which ls the true sound of Broadway and Forty-second street. The plan? for launching the big spectacle were never altered. The greatest promo tion campaign in the way of pub licity, and advertising New York had over seen for a Bhow enterprise ?"ont merrily ahead. Then came the op ening and tho result Once more Griffith was right. He had m&do an outlet Ho put his art on a pnr with tho best tho highest clasB thea tres ailed. He rented a theatre, and assumer*, all the risk. He wbrked as bard to get it under way as lie had to the making of it. Tho peo ple ho had been trying for so lour; to rea<;h discovered a new genius In tho field. The man had ?boen com pelted to climb out of the narrow rut and the trenches on to a higher plauo, and ii? dolpg tt he raised the tono and standing ot tho cleniatographic -art with him. Thoro is to be no goiug back. Griffith proved to his own sat isfa<Mon that lt could be done. He look? ahead now with a clearer v(6(on, for he knowe that tho best is nobe toe good for tho world If you have an opplrtunity of letting the peoplo know -H. 4 - ' "Tho Birth of a Nation ' hes had ! the, mor-i phenomenal run New York has^ever soon-725 consecutive per formances. ?
