At last the long-looked-for oppor-
tunity has come to you, the oppor-
tunity to make the money you have
worked for work for you.
Many men and women work for a
salary. Most of these put away a
few dollars every month and in due
time they ave enough money to
keep them dry during that much
dreaded rainy day Some men and
women invest their savings in what
are known as "gilt-edge securities"
In this way they make their savings
earn for them four to six per cent a
year. A few men and women, men
and women with judgment, courage
and foresight, put their savings in
reasonably safe investments. The
savings of these men and women earn
for them a great deal of money and
frequently they wake up to find
themselves rich. 1t is from the latter
class that come the most of our mil
lionaires.
The reason we have so few million
aires is that we have so few men and
women who have the courage to back
their judgment with their money.
The opportunity to make your money
work for you is being offered you by
the Birth of a Race Photoplay Cor
poration. Organized for the produc-
ton of a million-dollar picture to be
produced in association with the Selig
Polyscope Co. TheSelig Polyscope
Co., as you know, is one of the Oldest
and largest film corporations in the
world. The "Million-Dolla Mystery"
'"The Crisis" 1.-THE Spoilers THE
Garden of Allah" all speak for the
Selig Polyscope Co. This great
twelve-reel p%hotoplay, a whole even
ing's entertainment, is being produced
in the spirit of facts, not fiction,
sweetness not bitterness. 1t will por-
tray the days that were, the days that
are, and the days that are yet to be.
THE Birth of a Race" has for it's
theme race prejudice. The curse of
civilization-the thing which saps
energy, weakens efficiency and blocks
the way Of progresses fostered preju-
dice, often blind and without reason
which frequently grows into hate
aye, even into war and death-be-
tween races and nationalities. The
United States is a melting pot: into
it are poured all races. Out of it is
born a new race-the Americana
race which is to make the nation
strong or weak. All races that have

have suffered and %prospered with the
other races No single race has sui
fered or p%rospered alone. The Birth
of a Race will picture all this and
moe. In prophetic vision it will bring
close the future in which the races
are. 1t is we'll known fact, and one
which the reader will readily recog-
nize that the motion picture industry
has earned more money in the same
length of time than any other indus
try in the world. Today it stands
fifth as compared with all other indus.
tries in the United States. The fol.
lowing returns will give you an idea

picture industry. These reports and
