GRIFFITH HAS SET AN -
ENCHkNTMENT TO MUSIC

Never before has matter In glowing and
highly colored action been so masterfully,
effectively brought out by means OF musi-
cal accompaniment as In 1.-THE Birth of a
Nation
Every single passage, whether II be a
grand battle scene, a cunning bit OF state
craft or maneuver, a snatch OF tender
pathos, homely folk or character sketch
or a rippling humorous view, is musically
explained 20 every amazed spectator and
listener.
II you can imagine looking on a battle
Of thousands Of desperate, blood-rnad
men. and hearing first hand nil the bursts
OF cannon. near and far;- every explosion.
rifle shot, accurate bugle call in every
auaTter-and. at the same time. the grand
swell OF martial music that is being
carried ike a triumphant flag through IL
all-you have just one immense glimmer
out of the three hours OF marvels fur
nished by this spectacle.
The musical critic, Karleton Hackett. of
the Chicago Tribune's Musical Review.
under date of June 10, 1915, comments as
follows upon this element Of the enter
tainnent:
There are depths within US that only
music can reach and this production OF
THE Birth of Nation" at the Illinois,
is a striking case I'm point. The condi-
tions are most favorable for a national
drama dealing with the elemental facts.
and Griffiths work gave a scope which
most photoplays could not hope TO have.
Mr. Breil who arranged the music. has
taken advantage OF all opportunities. The
music was continuous throughout the pro-
duction in remarkable variety and with
striking suggestiveness. II was worth
something TO realize how much folk music
we have been able TO garner In our short
national existence and the manner In
which It has already woven itself into
our feelings."
