appreciative audience. The picture will,
be shown today and Wednesday at the
matinee and evening performances.
'The Birth of a Nation is a triumph

well plume themselves. As spectacle II
ris unsurpassed by any other production

other. -" $50
. The picture Is valuable as a lesson in
history. for besides the decisive battles
of the Civil War. Lees surrender to
Grant. Shermans march to the sea Zone
OF the finest pictures), the burning of
Atlanta, the assassination Of President
Lincoln and the rise of the Ku Klux
Khan are among the incidents pictured,
and here it might be well to state that
some of the most wonderful and reckless
riding is shown by hundreds of those dar-
ing horsemen.
There is. of course, an exciting plot
which concerns the Cameron and Stone
man families. respectively of the South
and North. There is romance and trag-
edy, and in the second part of the pic
ture thrilling Ihelodrama. Herein Flora
Cameron, terrified by Gus. a renegade
Negro, jumps from high cliff to her
death. Her brother, Col. Ben Cameron,
swears revenge. and this enables the pro-
ducers to show the activities and ceremo-
MES Of the Ku Klux.
The cast. too, was excellent: each mem
Der was individually striking in facial
play and pantomime.s Young Ben Gamer
on was a picturesque hero. and the
Misses Marsh. Cooper and Gish rivaled
each other in daintiness and girlish
charm Mr.. Seigmann was a stalwart
villain. Mr.. Henaberry's portrayal of
Abraham Lincoln was effective in make
up and bearing. Miss Lee provided comic
relief.
A feature. in fact big feature, of the
performance is the musical score which
is rendered in conjunction with the pro-
duction, syncronized with every action
and scene, and presented by picked Or
chestra of 20 concert players.
