BOSENI&RG/" 1-24-tff - | , j "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." i | Comet to the Opera House, Next Wednesday. The Magnitude of David W. Griffith's feat in staging "The Birth of aNation" ,is almost appalling?at leasfc^ to the devotees of the older forms i of theatrical entertainment. Where | now are the little groups of actors,' the pipchbeck scenery and the petty properties of the so-called "legiti-' mate" drama? By comparison with the new art, the "legitimate meas-| ures to the mountain like a molehill.; Instead of scenery for his background Griffith has used Nature. For subject he has covered 150 years of American history. Eighteen thousand people have done his bidding and in the hair-rising rides of the Ku Klux Klan three thousand riders and horses sweep over the dusty rnnrlc: No wonder that this magnificent historical spectacle is the talk of the country. It has established an en-, tirely new art in the realm of the theatre, the art of pantomimic screen spectacle with an orchestral score perfectly synchronized to the action. It has also created a tremendous sen- : sation because of its vaster and more forceful treatment of the theme of Thomas Dixon's "The Clansman"! which both as book and play created the greatest furore of the last decade. .... . j The deeds o? the Civil War and the horror of Reconstruction are made, to live again and the nation reborn is apothesized.
