The Fall of a Nation" is in the same
class with The Birth Of a Nation" and
many Alhambra patrons who saw both

Dixon is deserving Of the highest COM

witnessed The Fail OF a Nation" last
night were loud in their praise Of the
preciseness Of military detail on which
the picture must depend for perfec-

It is impossible for anyone to see

more patriotic and a greater friend of
the Institutions OF the United States,
