THE MAN THAT
LINCOLN PARDONED
Historic Background for Incl
dent in "The Birth of
a Nation

The incident of the young Confederatc's
release by President Lincoln's order,
which gets round of enthusiastic hand
clapping when presented in THE Birth
of Il Nation" at the Garrick Theatre. was
verified as an actual historical event by
one of the spectators. G.. l.. MOrdeCai.
Of III West S6th street, New York. is the
man TO whom it happened. After he had
seen the production at the Liberty The
atre he visited D. W. Grfith's offices
and told this remarkable story.
MY father. wealthy trader OF
Charleston. S. c.. was engaged in extern
siye blockade-runninG in the Confederate
army, but had been honorably discharged
on account of sickness. My father then
wanted me 10 go as his agent 10 Nassau.
The only channel of intercourse was
closed. however. when the Federals cap
tured Fort Fisher. so father suggested
that | would try to slip through the
Northern lines and thence take steamer
from New York.

Potomac. took stage for Washington but
in the latter place I was arrested and
thrown into prison as a Confederate
enemy. II was feared that l would be
urt-murtialed and executed or at best
held prisoner until the close Of the war.
My fiancee's father. Alderman Samuel
Lewis, OF New York. later acting Mayor.

behalf notwithstanding Secretary Stan

ing President Lincoln that I was not

Sir Herbert Tree
on the PhOtOplay

Pictures will never cold-shouIder the
drama out of existence Like vaudeville,
the cinema is really only branch of
the legitimate theatre which must in
evitably and always hold the leading po-
sitiou it now occupies. These newcomers
in the field of drama can only sharpen
the edge of the peoples appetite for
drama They can never usurp the place
Of the Legitimate. So long as people
are susceptible to the personal magnet
ism of the actor and can lind pleasure in
the sense of personal interCommunicatiOn
then the drama will remain supreme
Moving pictures will stay as the hOrs
d'oeuvre to the main feast
Nevertheless, it is art. and great art
The Birth Of a Nation" and D'Annun-
zlo's "Ca0iria" are triumphs of artistic
creation PosteTity will treasure these
records Of present-day genius. although
from the actors viewpoint the preserva-
ton has the drawback of affording op-
portHnity for pOsthumoUS criticism from
winch he has hitherto been immune. But
the relation of moving pictures to the
Hrama is one OF perspective No picture
eXtant will ever keep audiences from a
really good play. They may kill an in
Terror. but the best theatres will prosper
more than ever

happened TO come across the marriage
service. 1t seemed as il it opened my

think marriage is something religious. or

for the protection of good women. It's

down TO that kind of happiness till you've

You have heard of old Geronimo. the famous
Apache warrior. who gave the government SO
much trouble in the days when the Apaches
were on the war path in the Southwest! Wen,
General Scott and Geronimo for three years came
near being "buddies.
You see. after Lawson and Wood and the rest
of them had brought in Geronimo and his band
of Chiricahua Apaches, the problem OF what to
do with them difficult Finally, they were
held as prisoners at Fort Sill. and in 1891 Gen

Here was a frst-class ethnologist's laboratory
ready to hand, bunch Of the widest Indians
assembled on the continent, herded togeth-
err unable to get away, offering a fruitful field
for study and observation. The keeper and the
kept became fast friends and the Indians i'm.
parted all their plains lore to the studiour but
extremely military person who had them in rand.
Then, naturally, General Scott ordered to
Washington for duty in the division Of military
information and assigned to the bureau Of eth
nology in the Smithsonian institution. where he
proceeded to write his famous report on Indian
sign language.
But then came the Spanish-American
General Scott closed the door on that portion of
his mind devoted to abstract science. and opened
up the military section to its fullest. Once more
he was the fighting cavalry man. AS Ludlow's
adjutant general he went to Cuba and presently,
after the fighting over he was adjutant gen.
eral to General Wood, commanding the island.
For three years. from 1898 to the evacuation May
20, 1902. he was General Woods right-hand man
in doing in Cuba that historic work that has
fected so much credit on the nation.
Higher in rank now, he was just as eager and
enthusiastic in his study of the Cuban people as
he was in those shavetail days Of 1876 away off
the Northwestern plains in studying Indians
And, as General Wood tells 1t, very much of the
success of American administration in the island
was due to the thorough understanding Of tie
people possessed by this hard-working adjutant
and to that adjutant generals sympathetic atti
tude toward them.
Then to the Philippines as major of the Third
cavalry went Scott, there again to justify his
reputation the greatest little pacifer in the
army" Equally apt in pacifying with machine
gun and with sympathetic acts and words, Scott
once more demonstrated his many-sidedness.
It is given to few to be able to shoot up
a country and make the people like it. Scott is
one of the few. He did that very thing in the
Philippines.
