THE BIRTH OF A NATION.
Engagement Of Remarkable Picture
Extended at Tulane Theatre.

To relieve the disappointment Of
hundreds turned away this week, the
management of the Tulane Theatre,
New Orleans, has arranged for an ex-
tension of the engagement Of D. w.
Griffith's mighty historical spectacle,
THE Birth Of Nation" Perform
ances are being given twice daily at
and 8:15 p. M, Sundays included,
and the spectacle has literally taken
the city by storm.
1t is also announced in the New Or
leans papers that The Birth of a
Nation" is to be kept up to its pres
ent standard of grandeur and massive
ness, and that it will never be pre-
sented except in the leading theatres
of the larger cities. It is claimed that
only in these playhouses can the
proper facilities be found for pre-
senting the 100000 combination of
film and music. The services of so
people are employed in each presen-
tation and an elaborate musical score
is played by an orchestra of 80. The
orchestra is one of the finest sym
phony organizations ever heard in
New Orleans.
The story Of ssThe Birth of a Ma
ton. is taken from The Clansman, !"
by Thomas Dixon, and it depicts the
complete history of the south's vary
ing fortunes during the war and re-
construction periods. In some of the
great battle scenes $4,000 people and
5000 horses are shown. The assas-
sination of Abraham Lincoln is also
reproduced. The picture runs three
hours and it is in every sense great
spectacular offering, ranking with
"Ben Hur, The Garden of Allah
and plays of that class.
The best seats for the night per-
formances cost So and there are other
reserved seats for S1.50, 81 and IS
cents; gallery, so cents. Matinees,
best seats, ST, ard others, IS and so
cents Gallery, IS cents. Mail or
ders will be promptly filled when ac-
companied by money order or eert1-
fed check and self-addressed stamped
envelope. but patrons are warned
against ordering the cheaper seats by
mail. There are few Of these left
for the rest of the engagement, since
most of them were snapped up dur
ing the early days Of the advance
sale.
With its last February issue the
Thibodaux Connmereial-Journal COM
menced it's thirteenth volume, and we
hope there will be full fruition of
the papers optimistic belief that it is
destined to enjoy a good many more

success that have marked its first
dozen. The Conmercial-Journal is
one of the few south Louisiana papers
that adhere to the once common prac-
tice of printing part Of its contents
in the French language.
