Montgomery. December 1S.-(Special.) Automobile dealers and agents represent ing every section of Alabama called on Governor Henderson this afternoon and entered a vigorous protest against the provision of the automobile license law which, under the interpretation of the attorney general, requires that every car operated by dealers. whether for demon- stration or other purposes. shall be li- censed The delegation was composed of dealers from Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, Selma and other cities of the state.

edge of his subject. It was serious busi- ness and he laid his plans upon a scale hitherto unknown and undreamed of by theatrical and film producers. First came long months of study and prepara- tion during which photographs, official documents and survivors of the drama of reconstruction were consulted and the data obtained from them carefully com piled. The actual work of staging and filming the story found Griffith gen. eral as well as director, with lS,Oo0 people following his commands and 5000 horses charging or halting as he willed.
 In the great battle scene real cannon, real ammunition and real soldiers were used and trees, ravines and other typo graphical characteristics of the civil war battlefields were carefully copied on the sand wastes of California.
 Tn this connection it might be stated that it would have been impossible for Griffith to carry out his undertaking in any but a sparsely settled territory. On the days of his big battles tract of 20 square miles was set apart by the county authorities and the borders were care fully policed to prevent injury to intru- ders within the war zone."
 It was on this vast scale that Griffith reproduced the battle of Petersburg, Sher- mans march to the sea, the burning of Atlanta and other gripping scenes of con
 flct. But it was not alone in the great outdoors that he surpassed all other di- rectors in daring realism. Among his studio miracles were the meeting of Lee and Grant at Appomatox; Lincoln signing his call for volunteers and the assa ssna- tion of Lincoln in Ford's theatre. Wash ington.
 To the 5000 scenes of the great film epic a musical score was specially fitted and during the engagement of the company at the Jefferson theatre this score will be played by symphony orchestra of 30 pieces. Two carloads of special equip ment are used in attaining the realistic stage effects and altogether the services of 90 people are employed in each pre- sentation. From this it will be realized that "The Birth of Nation'' is vastly more than a moving picture.
