“THE BIRTH OF A
NATION” COMING
The magnitude of David W. Grif
fith's feat in stating ‘‘The Birth of a
Nation,” is almost appalling— at least
to the devotees of the older forms of
theatrical entertainment. Where now
are the little groups of actors, uh?j
pinchback scenery and the petty pro
perties of the so-called “legimatf)’
measures to the mountain like a mole
hill.
Instead of scenery for his back
ground, Griffith has used Nature. F >r
subject he has covered 150 years of
American history. Eighteen thousand
people have done his bidding and in
the hair-raising rides of the Klux
Klan three thousand riders and hors
es sw eep over the dusty roads.
No wonder that this magnificient
historical spectacle is the talk of the
country. It has established an entire
ly new- art in the realm of the thea
tre— the art of pantomimic jenter
spectacle with an orchestral score
perfectly synchronized to the action.
It has also created a tremendous so.

forceful treatment of the theme >f
