INTOLERANCE"
AT ORPHEUM
Superb Spectacle Teaches Les
son of Tolerance and Loves
Struggles in the Ages

Intolerance" the new David Wark
Griffith film shown at the Orpheum
yesterday and which will be shown for
two days more, is not story-it is
series of spectacles. as the subtitle has
it, Loves Struggle Throughout the
Ages II aims to show how intoler-
ance is the factor at root for the social
evils of to-day as in the times of Christ
as in Babylonian times as in the medi-
aeval French period. Intolerance" isn't
exactly what one would call amusement
1T is entirely too vigorous for that
it is more inclined to be educational
with an extra large amount of philo-
sophical broad -mindness thrown in.
.intoleranee" is by far the greatest

directing hand of the man who gave us
The Birth of Nation" Scenically the
last is greater than the first. for driv-
ing home its lesson it is weaker. The
teaching of Intolerance" is in reality
a visual plea in a disguised form for
in motion picture production-a "laissez
faire" theory. Let the people be the
censors. Intolerance" teaches that
social evils. to-day as Yesterday. are
born of some people being intolerant of
other peoples notions and ideas. And
so it is in a large sense, but we are
rather of the opinion that the modern
part of the film was rather built to suit
the teaching, more so than being an ac-
tual chronicle of the times. Charity, in
the film, suffers from the Interpretation
given to it.
For its magnitude, Intolerance" has
set a new standard. The cast of char
acters numbers a galaxy of stars which
will scarce be found again on a pro-
gram The immensity of the staging
and the strict adherence to the histori-
cal are marvels of production. as is also
the manner in which the counterparts
of each period are shown in the three
other periods of the film. For the film
is divided into three. parts: Modern
Babylonian, of the time of Christ and
of the medieval French. And in each
one of these four parts the counterpart
of the intolerance" as compared with
the modern is shown.
Griffith has done many things in this
film which other producers have not yet
dared to do. The filming of The Christ.
the massacres, the mob scenes. Audi
