GREATEST PLAY
NUMEROUS DRAMATIC CRITICS
HOLD eRIFFTH's PRODUCTION
At HEAD OF LIST.

Many of the critics who have been
sternest in the exactions Of Ameri
can dramatists announce their belief
that D. w. Griffith has put over the
great American play at last Mr.. Grit
fith's wonderful spectacle drama, THE
Birth of Nation is referred to-the
unique offering at the Grand opera
house all next week.
For many years American dram
Artists wrote able plays of particular
states, cities or localities, ranging from
alabama" to the Henrietta" and
from WAY Down East" to The Great
Divide" But no one man seemed to
grasp the whole spirit and genius OF
America until David Wark Griffith
picked suggestion for his theme out
of Dixon's THE Leopard's Spots and
1.-THE Clansman" and started to de-
velope It..
A remarkable thing about Mr.. Crit
fith's plan is that words Except for
leaders and titles) did not enter into
it. Perhaps words had cramped rath'
er than aided previous f1ctionists and
dramatists. At any rate, he replaced
speech with music, and the old fash
toned stage action and scenery by the
pictorialized action Of thousands OF
players in the great out of doors. In
brief, he staged the great battles
struggles and critical events Of 1861-7C
under conditions as nearly as possible
similar to the original.
The result Of Mr.. Griffith's efforts
is new and stupendous art for which
no adequate name has yet been found
"The Birth of a Nation" combines
spectacle, romance, domestic drama
comedy, tragedy, music and mechan
ical effects into harmonious ensemble
that captivates equally the eye and
ear. In a presentation lasting two
hours and forty-five minutes, it cpl
tomizes the life of nation. This is
something the old art could never do
The obsolete so-called stage unities'
are thrown to the winds, and Griffith
carries the magnificent story from the
introduction of African slavery RICH,
down through civil war and recon
struction days to the final real unior
of south and north in the bonds Of
love and peace.
Among the distinguished actors ir
the cast are Henry B. Walthall, Lilliar
Gish, Mae Marsh, Hiram Cooper, Mary
Alden, Josephine Crowell, Ralph Lewis
Joseph Menabery, Raoul Walsh, Don
aid Grips, Howard Gage, George Sieg
man, Walter Long, Elmer Clifton ane
Robert Heron. Eighteen Thousand
people. 5000 horses and no less thar
5000 scenes went into the making o.
the big spectacle.

FAIRFIELD BAND
ESCORT TO CO. N
THOUSANDS SEE SOLDIER BOYS
OFF; CITIZENS GENEROUS AS
WELL As PATRIOTIC.

Fairfield, June "a. This morning
thousands of people followed the men,
bers of Company M to the Burlington
station and at TAO o'clock saw them
board the special train that was to
carry them to Camp Dodge near Des
Moines. The big Fairfield band met
the members of the company at the
armory and acted as an escort to them
to the depot. The stirring strains OF
martial music and patriotic airs were
given with will by the band boys and
served to cheer the soldier and his
loved ones to whom he bade farewell
perhaps forever.
The send off of Fairfield's soldier
boys was in no wise funereal one but
everyone present realized the solem.
nifty of the occasion. Mothers, wives
and sweethearts bore up bravely until
the very end and the soldier lads were
not ashamed Of the tears that coursed
silently down many Of their cheeks as
they needed the order to board the
train. .5'
Since Monday when the initial order
was received in Fairfield, the people Of
Fairfield and Jefferson county have
been trying to make the soldier boys
realize how much they honor them and
there have been dancing parties, public
receptions and smokers each evening.
Fairfield business men and citizens
are now arranging fund to assist the
families of the men who have answer
ed the call Of duty and none will be al
lowed to suffer.
