Griffith's mighty historical spectacle, "The Birtl^ of a Nation," will be presented at the Columbia Theatre, Columbia, Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, November 22. 2.1 and 24, exactly as it is being shown in New ?Vork, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and other large cities where It has been running for several months. The spectacle will be accompanied by a symphony orchestra of thirty pieces and the services of fifty people will be employed in each presentation. As most playgoers know, "The Birth of a Nation." is a picturization of the Dixon stories of the Reconstruction, "The Clansman" and "The Leopard's Spots," but the Dixon plays and novels have been thoroughly dwarfed by comparison. Griffith employed 18,000 people and 1,000 horses and spent $500,000 in making his production with the great outdoors as his stage. He has reproduced the Battle of Petersburg, Sherman's march to the sea, the meeting of Lee and Grant at Appomattox, and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in Ford's Theatre, Washington the gflp night of April 14, 1865, with such amazing realism that the audience is held snellbound throughout three hours that the spectacle runs. a- There will be five performances at 0 the Columbia Theatre, including ^matinees at 3 o'clock Tuesday and FpwMnfiday. The night performances \ Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ! will at 8:10. The night prices will ranfea; 'rom 50 cents to $2 and the matinee pices from 25 cents to $1.
