'Ti1E 1ll1I'1'1i OH A N A'ION
(OMING TO (AREENVll~lAE
Will Be Shown at the Grand Opera
Jouse Next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday.
It will be welcome news to all resi
dents of the Piedmont that "The Birth
of a Nation", the great film and music
spectacle of the reconstruction, is to
be presented at the Grand Opera
House, Greenville, for three days be
ginning Monday night, February 14.
Matinees will be given Tupday and
\Vednesday at 3 o'clock, making five
p~erformnances in all and seats for the
entire engagement are now on sale at
the b)ox ollce. Special railroad ar
rangemnents have been mnade for the
con venleence of out-of-town people1 andl
station agents can be consulted for
parmt icularms.
When the spectacle was presented
in Columbia earlier in the season 1t,
Gov. Andrew J1. Bethea was quoted in
the Columbia State as saying that "The
B3irth of a Nation" has a special inter
est and appeal for all Southerners and
certainly for those who live in South
Carolina, where many of the scenes
are laid."
In producing the "Birth of a Nation''
D. W. Griffith employed the services of
8,000 people and 3,000 hourses on a
vast outdogr stage. This great organ
ization was at work for 8 months and
the oost of the undertaking was $500,
000. The story is taken from Thomas
'Dixon's book-romance, "The Clans
man", but Griffith so thoroughly
dwarfed the novel and play of that ti
tie that there can be no comp~arlson.
Among the historical incidents repro
duced are the battle of Petersburg,
Lincoln signing his call for volunteers,
8iherman's march to the sea, i.ee and
Grant at Appomattox and the assassin
ation of Lincoln in Ford's theatre,
Washington, The spectacle runs near
ly three hours and an orchestra of 25,
carried by the company plays the elab
orate musical accompaniment.
For the Greenville Engagement the
prices will be the same as charged ev
erywhere for this notable attraction,
viz: Nights, beat lower floor seats, $2;
first three rows of orchestra, $1.50;
flalcony $1 and galiary $50. Matinees:

ager', and tickets will be forwarded if
self-addressed, 141tamped envelop~e .is
enclosed. No seats will be laid awvay.
