- "THE BIRTH OF A NATION."
The magnitude of David W. Grif- "
m fith's feat in stating "The Birth of <
a Nation", is almost appalling?at (l
" least to the devotees of the older
1 forms of theatrical entertainment.
Jl- - Ui.il ,i
1' j wnere now are ine liLue groups uii
II' actors, the pinchbeck scenery and ,
II I the petty properties of the so-called i
j"legitimate" drama? By compari- son
with the new art, the "legiti- ;
11 mate" measures to the mountain
<> lie a molehill. Instead of scenery i
II for his background Griffith has used c
Nature. For subject he has cover- i
ed 150 years of American history, e
" Eighteen thousand people have done r
" his bidding and in the hair-raising I
" rides of the Ku Klux Klan three j
II thousand riders and horses sweep j
II over the dusty roads.
II No wonder that this; magnificent *
|| historical spectacle is the talk of
' the country. It has established an
11 entirely new art in the realm of
u the theare?the art of pantomimic *
II screen spectacle with an orchestral ^
II score perfectly synchronized to the *
I action. It has also created a trei.
mendous sensation because of its I
vaster and more forceful treatment c
o fthe theme of Thcmas Dixon's t
"The Clansman," which both as <
book and play created the greatest c
! furore of the last decade. f
>_ The great deeds of the Civil War a
and the horrors of Reconstruction <
n are made to live again and the na- ?
tion re-born is apothesized. Mr. 1
Griffith, pioneer among directors, i
ie I managed this stupendous achieve- 1
! ment without the aid of dialogue
or speech, for motion pictures with '
' music and effects tell vividly this
thrilling tale of fifty years ago.
"The Birth of a Nation" will be
produced at the Opera Hcuse Fri- '
day and Saturday, Dec. 28ih and 1
;r 29th, matinees both days. Seats on ''
sale now at Opera House.
a AMERICANS TO MAKE 1
MUNITIONS ABOARD
? % London, Dec. 17.?As soon as the
American armies are ready to take
the field a very large number of
American skilled workmen will be
sent to England and France to as- (
sist in the manufacture of munitions (
says The Evening Standard. The
view is taken by the members of the ]
American mission , according to
the same authority, that it is desir- ]
? able that as much of the highly (
| skilled work as possible be acme on .
i this side of the water. A mine or ]
a torpedo might destroy in a mo- j
ot ment weeks of the labor of thousands
of hands, and that risks in
that direction should be reduced to 1
j a minimum. <
