Iished before proc. edings were begun.

The Slave Problem---The
Birth Of A Nation
Covers 1t All

Tho slave trade in America and slav-
cry as it existed prior to the war is ex-
emplified in "The Birth of Nation, d"
d. w. Griffith 8 pictorial and musical
elaboration of Thomas Dixon's "The
Clansman," and "The Leopard IS
Spot"
This phase of political conditions is
traced strikingly from the importation
of the first slaves to the troubles that
grew out of their freedom and conse-
quent eDfranchisement and subsequent
tribulations of the south under carpet
bag rule.
AS a sort of prologue to the drama,
the arrival of the first "cargo" of
slaves is presented with historic fidel-
ity. From this the scene changes to
ante bellum days, depicting the condi-
ton of the negro in the south at that
time. Then comes the turmoil of war,
and, finally, the rule of black over
white with a mulatto lieutenant COVER
nor in the capitol of South Carolina
and the Ku Klux Klan riding through
the countryside to rescue their women
and preserve their traditions.
Lincoln signing the emancipation
proclamation is a favorite among the
5000 odd scenes of the mighty spec
tacle.
See "The Birth of Nation when it
appears here at the Grand theatre Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, July "a,
25 and 26, with the negro problem in
America in mind, as well as the mani
fold other particular features, and you
will marvel at what you behold.
Music lovers are as pleased with this
presentation as they would be over a
production of grand opera, as its score
of material music, patriotic airs and folk
songs is played by symphony orcles-
ira, especially trained and carried for
this purpose, and which greatly en-
hances the emotional power OF the
splendid work.
