BIRTH OF A NATION"

Griffith Production Has Power
to Draw Audience Back Time

The beginning OF the fourth week OF
the exhibition of THE Birth OF a Ma
tion," at the New National Theater
yesterday emphasized the fact that the
big Griffith spectacle IL not only at
tracing larger audiesces each day and
evening OF people who have never seen
II. but It has the remarkable power of
compelling people who have been once
to come back for second spd third
time
There has probably been no dramatic
attraction In washington which has SO
plainly shown Its ability to entertain the
same people three or four times and
give really more entertainment on the
fourth visit than on the first. Usually
an audience Ii pleased with play, but
does not care to see Il again. In the
case OF THE Birth OF a Nation people
see II again and again and enjoy II each
time.
The finai two weeks OF the big play
began yesterday. with big audiences at
both performances. despite the circus
and other counter-attractions. The quail
ity of the musical accompaniment of
the picture Is coming in for more and
more comment from theater patrons.
The usic IL interpretive OF the theme
OF the play itself. and the orchestra.
which has accompanied the production
from city to city, plays the score with
the precision and finish that make II
an important part of the play.
