The presentation at the Kerredge
theatre in Hancock for three days,
starting next Thursday night, marks
the first appearance in this section Of
the country of d. w. Griffith's colossal
spectacle Intolerance. Much has
been written in preparation for this
engagement but not one word of all
the descriptive outlines can help but
hint at the size and the sweep Of this
wonde work.
1t is such big undertaking and it
has been carried out upon such scale
of magnitude that only hint of it
could be grasped until it has been seen.
Griffith carved his name in art history
by daring achievements but in ''lntol-
erance" he has outstripped himself.
He has built towering walls just IS
they stood in ancient Babylon when
Cyrus and his army took possession Of
that siren city of the ancient east. He
has reared again the roadways, the
streets and the houses in and about
Jerusalem that figure in the greatest
story that has ever been recorded in
the upbuilding of man. He has made
Paris of the 10th Century and the Court
of Charles TX and his scheming mother
bloom again like a symbolical green
bay tree of dramatic art. And he has
linked all this with scenes of current
life that go deeper than mere outline
of the age we are living in they depict
the hearts and the souls of the hour
and show you life in the rough state of
its contemporary evolution. And into
these scenes and surroundings he has
brought an army of people who charac-
terize every impulse of the different
races that figure in their days. He has
shown all this in order to make it clear
that Love is the dominant note which
keeps alive the hope of mankind. A
score of wonderful applications to this
epic eliminates the theme with the
message that only music can carry.
This is why you will realize when you
have seen Intolerance" that he has
created new art form and done some
thing for the drama which will live
through ages to come. The production
carries superb symphony orchestra
of 20 pieces and a chorus.
