HARRY LAUDER
Coming to the Davis.

Wherever Harry Lauder goes,
Scotchmen, near Scotchmen, and
Scothmen various degrees removed,

with him. They usually introduce
themselves by saying they once had an
aunt who knew Ladders sisters

and then, as anyone will, Lauder meets
up with an old and forgotten CrOny of
his boyhood.
In a western town some time ago he
was astonished to turn in his dressing
room and behold Tom Macpherson,
who had driven little blind mules with
him in the Scotch mines, and whom he
hadn't seen for many year.

"Oh. 1 emigrated fifteen years ago.

said Macpherson.

things have happened since the old
days. You were always a smart lad,
and I was always more or less of a
Ounce in the estimation of the other
chaps. And here l am and here you
arc" and he went no further, because
he didn't want to make his old friend
feel badly.
At the performance he saw Mac
was discussing it with the manager of
the theatre.
TITS a great tribute to the loyalty
of old friendship said Lauder. To
night there was a man who paid two
dollars and a half seat in a box be-
cause he knew me when l was a
miner. And he's still a miner, and he
couldn't afford it, either, 1 venture.
His name was Macpherson, and"

Snowman.
Yes" said Lauder. HE was al
ways that sort of lad-willing to spend
his last cent for

The BIRTH OF A NATION.
Stupendous Picture Production to Be
Shown in DanieIson Next Week.
Stirring Scenes in the South Dra-
maticaIly Portrayed.

Griff1th's big picture, The Birth of a
Nation, will come to the Orpheum
theatre Dec. 6, I and 8. There will be
a big orchestra and a chorus behind
the scenes. while several very beautiful
girls will act as ushers, to furnish local
color, etc.
The picture is a dramatization of
DiXon's The CIansman. Its chief Incl
dents are historic. The incident of the
negro is responsible for the formation
carpet-baggers out of the south and
-ehabilitated the southland.
Few people know into what la
inevitable situation the south fell nearly
ten years after AppOmattoX. The whites
were disfranchised because of their
part IN IN war, and southern states
were governed by a combination of
newly franchised negroes and carpet
baggerS from the north whose main
object was loot. How the whites of
the south regained control of the coun-
try is one of the most dramatic pas
sages in our history.
The Birth of a Nation is said to
contain $4,000 people and 5000 horses.
Nothing so spectacular has yet been
shown upon the screen. For the first
time in the history of film art you see
the great historical conflict pass before
you. The burning of Atlanta, Sher-

nance of history, tremendous battle

domestic drama and charming comedy
and the dawn of the new nation.
Owing to the tremendous patronage
that will undoubtedly be showered up
on this massive screen spectacle during
its local engagement, patrons are warn
ed to secure their seat reservations at
the earliest possible moment, for the
attendance at the Orpheum theatre will
positively be greater than Danielson
has ever known before, either for a
production of the spoken stage or the
