l TN his vital and massive film play Tn | tolerance" Mir David Wark Griffith = his visualized imaginations such as
 one might have after reading The
 Arabian Nights" but never expected to

 There are not superlatives enough in
 any language to do justice to this vital and massive screen production in which
 the seemingly impossible has been
 achieved, particularly that part of it re-
 creating ancient Babylon, and showing
 the scenes attendant upon the taking of
 the city by Cyrus the Great, and his hordes of Persians.

 a mark in spectacular motion picture pro- ductioh that may never be surpassed; it 1 is safe to say that if it is surpassed. it will be done by MT. Griffith himself. | The ethical purpose of Intolerance" :"
 as its name suggests. is to show that
 narrowness and bigotry and lack of hu- man sympathy have been responsible from earliest times until now for the
 misery under which the world has stag. gered
 Intolerance" is a mighty setting forth of mankind throughout the entire course

In his ambitious productions MT.

Intolerance, IS derived from cloudy dreamy hallucna- tions, but when his mighty imagination sets to work it is quite able to paint any scene; 1t is as though a Wagner and Milton, music drama about novel of Robert Chambers-as though Mae terlinck had dramatized Marie Corell; nothing is impossible to his master mindi

So far mankind has been led by it's ap- petites, and it's passions, by it's prejudices
 and its assumptions, by ''the ape and tiger" forces rather than by those of logic and common sense and humanity. From old Babylon, straight down to London, Berlin, Paris and New York through all the ages, and all the nations,
 men have in the main acted as though they had never heard of reason or req soning.
 Generations pass, customs change, new laws take the place of old ones; dynasties fall; religious and morals come and go, and through it all, Intolerance" Smil- ingly hold it's own laughing at the sug-
 gestions of common sense and reason, while it keeps up the old business of sup
 presson. According to the miserable creed, that "my position is true, yours is
 false" and unless you change to my
 way of thinking and doing I will stone you"
