lived in the state of single blessed
ness, as the type of man she could
care for wouldn't care for her and the
type OF man who cared for her, she
was incapable OF loving.
Ted Shawn came right out Of the
West to love and win the dancer
whom he so admired as an artist. He
was a stenographer in Los Angeles,
but he loved the stage and spent his
spare time learning classical dances.
He had also made a tour in vaudeville
with a well-known dancer, but had
gone back to California and had been
forced to return to his stenographic
work
At the time the dance craze swept
over America like a tidal wave, Ted
Shawn and Miss Gould, his dancing
partner, formed a small company and
made arrangements with one of the
railroad companies to get transpor-
tstion and meals from the Coast 20
New York for the entertainments they
gave along the line. In New York he
met a friend of Miss st. Denis, who
said that the greatest OF all Ameri-
can dancers was looking for a lead
ing man. Mr.. Shawn called upon her,
hoped against everything that he
might be fortunate enough to secure
the engagement, yet fearing that he
had not had experience enough. Miss
st. Denis engaged him after one re-
hesrsal, sealing his fate at the same
time.
When not on tour they have a
school OF dancing in Los Angeles, the
Denis-Shawn, which they hope will
one day be to America what the I'm
perial School in Petrograd 10 to Rus

HaftORaIF S'The Birth Of
A NatIOn,s Films.

So great has been the success of
the d. w. Griffith historical spectacle
The Birth Of a Nation" all over the
country, that time and time again IL
was not possible to accommodate
the crowds. Everywhere a line of
Intending purchasers forms at the box
onice In the morning, and il seldoms
disappears until the box office closes
for the evening.
There .is a reason for this tremen-
dous popularity Of the spectacle bear
Ing the Griffith signature, which re-
turns to the National on Sunday
afternoon for eight days.
In fact there are many reasons,
but one 10 the wonderful detail of
the photography, the remarkable
sweep and vast comprehensiVeness OF
the multitudinous scenes.
OF great value Is the accompany
ing music arranged by Joseph Carl
BreiL In this score are melodies Of
war times, martial tunes, national
airs, tripping dances tunes and bits OF
grand opera that fairly illuminate
and interpret the scenes unfoIded to
the ye. There il always the tensest
interest as the picture is shown and
Griffith with rare art permits no lag
ging inattention.
There IL constant shift from grave
TO gay, from romance to intrigue.
The play has its foundation in that
sensational novel The Clansman,"
but Griffith has utilized this tale only
TO the extent of providing a humanity
appealing story which he has en-
veloped with the truth of history.
The Ku RIux Khan has an important
part In the spectacle. The approach
of the Clapsmen is bloodtingIing and
there is no onlooker who can escape
the psychological influence OF the on
rush Of ghoatIy- -garbed. riders
Griffith made success double sure
by engaging actors Of first rate ability
who would typify and make Iife-like
historical characters as well as those
OF the novelIst's creation.
On account of previous arrange
ments the mAtinees on Tuesday and
Friday will begin promptly at 1890

The Great LoveJ Himself
Talks on Love Of Today.

Leo Ditrichstein, who plays the
part OF Jean PoureI in "The Great
Lover" is really a most domestic
man. He is very 'oId-fashioned:" in
fact, looks upon the present method
OF raising children and wooing with
distaste.
He thinks that he knows why there
Is no more romance.
THE sHIin and sweetheart of TO-
day." said Mr.. Ditrichstein, "rob
themselves of the keenest of happi-
ness by excluding all romance from
the wooing. 1t is all too matter OF
fact and along prescribed lines, such
as are demanded by the strict ethics
OF society's orthodox proprieties. I
believe this is because of the lack Of
restrictions placed upon the Ameri-
can girl of today. OH yes: there is
the essence of paradox in the remark,
which, like all rules, lives in the e,<-
ception. II there were restrictions
like in some of the European coun-
tries. or such as obtained some gen
erations ago. the incentive to circum-
vent these objections would invest
wooing with romance and the ardor
that intensifies the joy of this most
glorious period in the mating of hu-
mans"
