' h nySyel TheeOBiy Styl nl "INTOLERANCE" "Intolerance," D. W. Griffith's greatest spectacle, said to have cost wo million dollars, to utilize the serv ces of 125,000 people, and to take hree years in the making, will com nence its engagement of night and natinee at the Pastime Theatre, Thursday, May 16th. Its theme, that of love's struggle throughout the ages is told by the novel means of four parallel stories. The scenes of these stories are Baby lon of 539 B. C.; Jerusalem of 27 A. I D., France of 1572 A. 1,., and America )f the present. The most celebrated screen stars of this country have in terpreted the leading roles of the dif Ferent episodes. For sheer splendor and magnitude Af settings, for tense and thrilling ac tion, the Babylonian scenes are said to be the most striking. Here the leading figures are Belshazzar, his Princess Beloved, and the- Mountain Girl who loves her king in secret. So historically correct is Mr. Griffith's reproduction of this ancient world city and its life that famous Babylonian authorities have publicly commended it. The attack of Cyrus the Persian who sought to conquer Belshazzar, and his repulse, a mhty clash of men on and about the towering walls of Babylon has been acclaimed the most realistic conflict ever staged. Dver forty thousand men, 7,500 horses and 1,500 chariots took part in this battle which was waged with siege towers and flaming engines, battering rams, catapults, giant cross-bows and liquid fire. The Mediaeval period of the play shows Charles II at the head of the Festivities in honor of the betrothal Af the Catholic Princess, Marguerite :le Valois, and the Protestant Prince, Henry of Navarre. You see Cather ine de Medici inflaming her follow rs against the Huguenots, and win ning the King's consent to that his toric event, the Masascre of St. Bar tholomews Eve, where perish Brown Elyes and her lover, Prosper, the prin ipals of this. story. The episode in the life of our Sav iour show Him teaching His love of tolerance in the streets of Jerusalem, and at the marriage at Cana. In scenese of deep religious import and wonderful artistry, you see Him fall beneath the lash of the Roman Sol. liery. The plot of the modern story of which the Boy and the Girl are the leading characters, is briefly as fol lows: There is a strike in the mill be cause their employer, wanting more money for use in absurd so-called charities, cut down the employees' wages. The Boy's father is killed in the strike, and the Boy going to the city is drawn into vicious and evil ways from which he is rescued by the Girl's love. For a crime he did not commit, the Boy is sent to prison; the girl's baby is forcibly taken from her by. the charity workers; the Boy is unjustly condemned for murder and after a thrilling race between an au tomobile and a train, is saved front hanging. The notable players of the fourfold cast number Mae Marsh, Lillian Gish, Miriam Cooper, Josephine Crowell, Walter Long, George Seigmann, and Spottiswood Aiken of "The Birth of a Nation" fame, as well as Constance c Talmadge, Bessie Love, Margery Wil son, Alfred Paget an dElmer Clifton. b --W-S-S--i LIBERTY LOAN e OVER-SUBSCRIBED May 6th. -Reports tip to 4 p. m. b shows that Clarendon county has sub scribed more than her allotment of 6160,000.00 of the Third .Liberty Loan ' Bonds.
