AT THE AUDITORIUM
"The Birth of a Nation"

That The Birth of a Nation is still in high favor with theater pa irons of all classes is shown by thc siez and character of the audiences that are filling the Auditorium twice daily. where the mighty Griffith pee tacle is the current attraction The enthusiasm is as noisy and the at. tendance as large as on the occasion of the first engagement of the film drama last season. lt is not surpris' ing that it. neverwaning popularity should be compared with that of Ben Hur," and Uncle Toms Cabin
 Perhaps the most important ele- ment of the continued success of Tho Biith of Naucn.' lies in the fact that its producer, D. W. Griffith, has steadfastly declined 10 present it eN- cept on the same scale oi Vastne.a and grandeur which marked ifs first presentation at the Liberty thedter New York. and later in the principal cities on tour when one sees "The Birth of d Nation today he sees tha same production and hears sym phony orchestra of the same size and quality that enthralled him the first time he witnessed the spectacle.
 Even when Australia, South Ameri- ca and various countries in Europe were being opened by the Griffith cor poration last season for presentation of the spectacle, the producer insist ed that each organization sent from New York carry it's full quota of mu- sicians projection experts and mech anicians,
 Mir, Griffith has repeatedly stated
 that he will never allow the presen- tation Of his masterpiece except in the form that the public now sees it, and in theaters where only the best attractions are presented The cur rent engagement at the Auditorium will terminate tomorrow nieht and it
 will not be shown in Hot Springs

Triangle play by Monte M. Katter-
john, produced under the supervision
of Thomas H. Ince, will be shown
at the Grand theater tonight.
1t is during the period of '9S,
when the gold mad crowds pack the
little town of Hope City, Alaska.
Dorothy Dalton appears as the
"Flame,' harpy Of the dance hall.
Many thrilling episodes are enacted
in the hall, where gamblers, miners
and all types of men meet to try
their luck with the roulette wheel.
In one exciting scene "the flame
succeeds in breaking the bank and
getting the money that her sweet
heart has lost in a crooked game.
An exact reproduction of the
streets of Nome in the days of the
gold rush is seen. Here realistic
fight takes place between Kenneth
Harlan, as The Stranger. and Mel
bourne Mcdowell, as Black Jack
Hovey. A company of nearly 300
people, including thirty Eskimos and
their dog teams, enact their parts in
this scene. Others in the cast are
Margaret Thompson, Carl Ullman
and May Palmer. The play was di-
rected by Charles Miller.

In "Magda," the new Select pic
ture in which Clara Kimball Young

compelling climax. This stage clas-
sic adapted to the screen will be

The action of the play is built

q striking exposition Of the stupidity
of a certain class of parents and
Miss Young in her portrayal OF the
misund erstood and driven daughter,
makes strong appeal to the SYM
pathies.
