IT is impossible 70 witness the flm
drama 1.-THE Birth Of Nation,
now being shown at the Liberty
Theater. and not want TO say some
thing about it.
Every one who has seen It IS saying
something about It. When one has
been crowded upon, pressed down and
run over it is against nature not tc
make some kind Of an Outcry.
That is the way one feels when com
inc ont of the Liberty Tbeater. The
thing is vast It is overwhelming
Nothing like it has ever before been
put upon the stage.
The tension Of the performance is
but a single feature Of it, but it is that
which one feels most poignantly after
three straight hours. 1t begins Ii an
easy way, but commences soon to find
its muscle and goes on TO the end
pounding upon ones senses with blows
that come heavier and heavier, more
and more rapid.
1t is not apparent what are the
grounds Of the objections urged against
it nor what is the animus Of those who
are scheming to have the exhibition
prohibited.
The national board Of censorship has
approved it and reafirmed its ap-
prevail. The popular Endorsement
which the play has since received by
the thousands who are seeing it daily
will require more than small prejudices
or moral eccentricities to disturb. In
the meantime efforts to suppress it are
thus far successful in nothing so much
as in giving it wider and more remu-
nerative publicity.
The intimate familiarity which Da-
vid W. Griffith has shown with the
events of the reconstruction period
along with the detailed scholarly
study which he has made Of the wider
territory Of events which the play Gov
ers renders the production one of sur
prising educational value to those who
were either young children still or even
UNBORN IN the surfing years OF 1850 TO
1870. A boy can learn more true his
tory and get more of the atmosphere
OF the period by sitting down for three
hours before the film which Mr.. Crit
fifth has produced with such artistic
skill than by weeks and months Of
study in the classroom.
This drama is a telling illustration Of
the possibilities of motion pictures as
an instrument of instruction in his
tory.
The criticism that it exhibits the ne
gro in an unfortunate light and that
it is calculated to engender racial ami

I the days when he had just had the
chains broken from him and when he
was rioting in the dehciousness of a
liberty so new and untried that he
had not yet learned to understand it
and was as ignorant as a baby OF the
way to use it. 1t is in this respect ex-
actly true TO history, and if it reflects
upon the negro as he was then it is
compliment to the black man Of to-
day. An exhibition of lawlessness
might not have been proper thirty or
forty years ago. Such proprieties
change with the passing of time
The battle scenes which Mr.. Griffith
has depicted are of surprising power
and realism. Every lover of peace
must experience a certain painful graf
ifcation that just at this time the
CHASTITY horrors of carnage can be
brought so closely home to the eye. It
is one thing to read about the trenches,
the killing and the cOrpses. It is quite
another thing to have them bodily
pressed before the eye, with all the
demoniac fury that marks conflict at
fclose range. A well written descrip-
ton Of a battlefield allows the place
and the occasion to be invested with
features OF magnificence, with the hero
ism of the contestants and the glory OF
the victors. On Griffith's screen we
see the real thing. There is no mag
nificence, no glory, but horror, brutal
ity and stark butchery. It sickens
with the sense of mans inhumanity to
man. It makes war despicable and
devilish. II conveys an indelible les
son TO all who have been bewitched
by those who have decked out the
naked hideousness Of war with tinseI
drapery.
There are also scenes Of SURPRISING
dignity and beauty done by a master
artists hand-the signing by the pres
ident of the proclamation for Volun-
teers which marked the end of the old
regime, the surrender of Lee TO Grant
and the assassination of the president
in FOrd's theater.
The tender affection IN which Mr..
Lincoln is held was manifested in the
way the great audience received the
scene of a heartbrOken southern moth
er pleading with him for her son, SEN
fenced to death as a guerrilla. Every
eye was dim with tears in the stran-
Cling hush that fell on the theater.

ton been left to the great heart-the
