NEWPORT TO SHOW
THE BIRTH OF A NATION"

Every genius has his master
creation, and it is no dlscredit to
Mr.. d. w. Griffith to say that
when he turned out The Birth
of a Nation, he gave the world
and prosterity to come the high
est possible attainment of his
powers-for he also gave a mar
vel that no other man could sur
pass.
: To see The Birth of Nation
the first time is only to be elect
rified at its enority, stupified at
its myriads of flashing wonders;
to see it a second, a third time
many times, is to be enabled to
sit back comfortably and enjoy
it-immeasurably more at eacn
successive sitting.
A celebrated eastern critic
has said of it that it requires
one sitting to catch every other
high place" OF the terrific ac-
ton; second, to catch all the
high places; a third to COM
mence to realize all the wealth
OF drama that is continually go
ing on between thee high places
and after that, the ordinary
spectator can commence to fol-
low the entire production, as II
flows, marveling at the tremen-
dous harmony of the whole.
Its indisputable spell is being
continually proven in every sec
tion OF the country-capacity
houses turning out everywhere
to see 1t every time it returns
and most of them to several of
the performances at each en-
gagement.
ID. w. Griffith's Birth of Ma
tion Is coming to the Midway
In Newport, July 1924 for the
first time. There will be a spec
ial Matinee at 2 p. M. on Tues
day.
The production is accompan-
led by a splendid three hour
musical score played by the Or
ganization's own director. They
also carry their own machines
and operators-Matinee prices
! are 90 cents for adults and 25
cents for children-Evenings at
/ s =. M.-Prices rs cents and
I$1.OO. The latter are all reserv-
ed seats and on sale at the Ar
matage Drug Store on July 18th.
No children prices at night,
owing to the limited seating ca
pacity, also on account of the
length of the performance,
which Is 3 hours.

NEWPORT

The Port Commission met
Monday in the afternoon at the
city hall for the purpose of con-
sidering the matter of bonding
the Port Districts to improve the
Yaquina Bay harbor. All the
members of the Newport COM
mission being present. Two of
the members thought 1T would
be alright to go ahead, sell the
bonds, get the money and COM
mence work as soon as possible.
All that was necessary was for
the Government to furnish an
engineer to superintend the
work. The other three members
took a different view, thought
1t would be best for the Govern
ment to lead in the matter and
nave charge Of the whole pro-
Ject both as to directing the
work as well as expending the
money. This idea seemed to
prevail and nothing else was
aone except a motion was passed
10 call a meeting of the two
commissions together at an ear
ly day to further consider the
matter. $41S,O00 is a large sum
OF money to be put up by the
people and its expenditure
should be carefully guarded.
Inc Improvement of the harbor
is 4 public utility used by all the
people and the expense should
be borne by taxation of the peo-
PIE. 1t will work a hardship on
the county with limited re-
sources to put up such a larg.
sum OF money. At present the
government is engaged in a
great war and it is not likely
that any new projects of i'm
provement will be undertaken so
we Will have to wait till Uncle
sam gets ready to do the work.

soldier in the great war of En-
