.sTre Birth of a Nation


The magnitude of David w. Grif-
fith's feat In stating THE Birth of q
Nation is almost appalling--at least
to the devotees of the older forms OF
theatrical entertainment. Where now
are the little groups OF actors. the
plnchbeck scenery and the petty prop
critics o. the so-called Legitimate"
drama? BY comparison with the new
art. the legitimate" measures to the
mountain like molehili. Instead for
his background Griffith has used ma
ture. For subject he has covered $50
years of American history. Eighteen
thousand people have done his bid
ding. and in the hair-raising rides OF
the Ku Klux Khan three thousand
riders and horses sweep over the dusty
roads.
No wonder that this magnificent
historical spectacle is the talk of the
country. 1t has established an entire
ly new art in the realm of the theater
the art of pantomimic screen spec
tacle. with an orchestral score per-
fectly synchroni2ed to the action. II
has also created a tremendous sensa-
ton, because of its vaster and more
forceful treatment of the theme Of
Thomas Dixon's The Clansman."
which both as a book and play created
the greatest furore of the last decade.
The great deeds of the Civil War
and the horrors of Reconstruction are
made to live again and the nation re-
born Is apethesized, Mr. Griffith,
pioneer among directors, managed this
stupendous achievement without the
aid of dialogue or speech, for motion
pictures with music and effects tell
wildly this thrilling tale of fifty years
ago AT the Academy of Music for
one solid week, beginning Monday
matinee, January 10, and daily matt.
