BIRTH OF NATION
AT COURT TODAY
MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE TO
WEEKS ENGAGEMENT IN
CITY TONIGHT.
Most Elaborate Picture Ever Pre-.
sented Will Be Given Twice
Daily After To-day.

In the engagement OF The Birth OF
Nation" which begins at the Court
Theatre tonight continuing for the
entire week with matinees Tuesday.
wednesday. Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday, there will be seen something
that has never before been presented
TO local theatregoers. "The Birth OF
a Nation" Is built upon such imposing
unes that II quite surpssses anything
that has ever been attempted. The
historical features alone OF "The Birth
OF Nation" possesses commanding
force and associated with then. are
the thrilling scenes that were enacted
during that stirring period In the HIS
tory OF the country which threatened
the dissolution OF the Union and the
building up OF two Republics where
one had existed before. That the Ma
ton lives. and that only one Republic
remains. Is now regarded by those OF
that section which contested against
the North as the proper solution OF
the controversy. Those were days
that tried mems souls" and those en-
gagged on both sides were honest In
their convictions and no people ever
fought more courageously than did
the soldiers OF the North and South.
II was an unfortunate affair but IL
may have been for the best after all.
IL might have presented itself in some
other way, for Il was a foregone con-
clusion that the institution OF slavery
could not exist. Public sentiment was
TOO strongly arrayed against it, ID.
w. Griffith, the man who originated
the ide2 OF producing The Birth OF
Nation realized the magnitude OF
his subject and he brought forth his
endeavor upon a scale commensurate
with its Importance. The dramatic in
terest in the production is one that
absorbs public thought throughout the
entire country. The public schools
have for great many years made a
special feature OF teaching the coming
generations the history Of the Civil
War THE Birth Of a Nation Is in
itself one OF the greatest instructors
that has ever been brought before the
public. Many OF the Leading educa-
tors OF the country, who have seen
the production, realize its value in
this respect There are so many in
cidents in connection with the spec
tacle that II Is impossible TO describe.
out II Is enough to say that il is the
contamination OF supurb skill in the
creation OF new dramatic art. It's real
ism Is another OF its strong features.
It's unlike all other endeavors con-
nected with the life OF the American
stage
