Bisbee daily review., 1917-12-05

In the three months that have
elapsed since the beginning of the
term, a number of students. reciting
two periods week, have reached the
point where they are able to prepare
trial balance, financial and profit
and loss statements, a balance sheet,
and to close ledger. AS the students
are at different stages, the instruction
is to some extent individual, 50 that
it is possible to begin the subject at
any time There is no tuition charge.
Bisbee daily review., 1917-12-05

This is a course in beginning book
keeping, and deals first with the en-
tries OF firm doing business in a
small way. AS the business grows,
and it is necessary to form first d
partnership and then a corporation 10
handle it. the entries necessary 10
change the books over are made. AS
much time as possible at the begin
ming is devoted to fundamentals, after
which progress is more rapid.

b. W. Griffith's colossal spectacle
Intolerance" will be the attraction at
the Columbia. Monday and Tuesday.
This. is the first and only production
Mr. Griffith has made since THE Birth
Of n Nation"
In this new offering Mr.. Griffith
shows four parallel narratives of four
ages of the worlds history. 1t tells "A
modern story Of striking local color and
stirring detail which depicts the suf
ferings and adventure of young cou-
pie who happen to be caught in the
whirlpool Of so-called social reform
The effect to thwart the law Of individ-
ual destinies is the force which brings
the young lovers and others into a Sc
quence OF events which threatens to
engulf them. In this Griffith has shown
keen insight into prevalent conditions
and in illustration OF his theme he has
painted picture which will startle the
world by its religion.
In Joining his modern story to anci-
ent events, Griffith has made wide
departure from all stage construction
Of the part. He Celebrates upon his
| original invention Of the switchback to
1 flash parallel narratives OF the Fall of
/ Babylon. the advent of the Nazarene
/ into Judea and the Massacre OF st.
1 Bartholomew in Paris in 1872. In each
4 locale he introduces analogous charac-
/ ters to the protagonists of his modern
story and shows them swept into the
same vortex of intolerant opinions
which are the negative forces in his
1 main theme. The historic surroundings
OF these various periods are presented
in elaborate and accurate detail. The
work of research to give authority to
these scenes was carried on by corps
of experts over period Of three years
