.'The Birth of 2 Nation"

When The Birth of a Nation" returns to the Jefferson theatre next week for its third engagement in Birmingham this season. local piaygoers will hear the same symphony orchestra of 90. and the same realistic effects that were praised so en- thusia stically earlier in the season. The same organization Is coming back and the advance sale of seats for the If per formances to be given during reunion week will be opened Thursday morning. The engagement will begin Sunday with matinee and night performances.
 It is expected that the thrilling scene portraying the assassination of President Lincoln will be especially appreciated by the reunion visitors. because of It's his- tovical accuracy. Joseph Henabery. who portrayed President Lincoln. was selected from 20 different players who were coa ched and prepared for the part before he was voted the one. MT. Lincoln's ap- pearance and mannerisms were carefully counterfeited even to the small but in- teresting detail of the President reaching back for his cloak just a few minutes before Booth attacked him. As these scenes were being enacted and photo graphed the players who participated in the scene said that in all their long ex- perience with making pictures nothing so impressive had ever been noted.

cerning an attack upon the vessel, but those on board employed in caring for horses transported on the Venizia's last voyage eastward vouched for the ac- curacy of the story.
 . According to these men the Venizia en- countered the commerce raiders April 2S when three days out from Bordeaux. The hostile craft, they said, loomed up with out flags and bore down upon the Ven- izia. Captain Boniface became suspicious and prepared for a sudden dash. The raiders signaled to the Venizia to slow down, but Captain Bonifaces answer was an order for full speed ahead. As the Tcnizia started away. according to the story shot passed over her. This was followed by another. which dropped close to the steamer. Before a third shot was fired the Venlzia had increased the dis tance between her and the raiders so that the eforts to overhaul her proved unsuc- cessful. It was said the raiders prof,- ably were merchantmen which had been converted into auxiliary cruisers One carried two tunnels and the other one funnel.
