Thrives on Opposition.

Never since the days of Uncle

bitterly attacked in the public prints
as "The Clansman." The ability of
the playwright, Thomas Dixon, Jr.,
and the thrilling nature Of the scenes
have been admitted; but fierce objec-
ton has been made to the incidents
set forth and the principles enunci-
ated. It seems likely, however, the
Pacific Coast will love "The Clans
man" for the enemies it has made.

Era in the South and the work of the
Ku Klux Khan, the story should COM
