BIRTH OF A NATION
RETURNS TO NEWBERRY

After sensational tour of the
country following it's record break
ing enga agement here, D. tN. Grit
fith's "The Birth Of Nation returns
here at the opera house for an en-
eagement of two days beginning Wed
pesday, December 26, matinees daily.
The presentation Of the great spec
tacle is identically in every respect,
the same that appeared here previ-
ously with the same large symphony
orchestra. AS before there will be
daily matinees after the opening per
formance.
For s'The Birth Of Nation" Mr..
Griffith took as the skeleton Thom-
as Dixon's story of "The Clansman'
but he ad in mind far vaster con-
ception than Dixon's. 1t was his aim
to prodhce an epoch in American
history so vividly that the specta-
tors would be actually carried out
of the present and live for three
pcurs in past that is fast becom-
ing remote and hazy. He did not
make the mistake of desiring to de-
pict the period of the past in naked
and horrid realism. He was deter
mined from the start to throw about
it glamor of romance that would
soften the picture without distorting
it.
The epoch chosen by Mr. Griffith
is the most thrilling in American his
tory It was the epoch that shattered
the old idea of state sovereignty.
Griffith blended history and romance
with rare genius. The story is so
strikingly and thrilingly told that the
audiences applaud the big momen.s
with all the vigor that they use
when real actors appear upon the
stage He has animated his screen
phantoms by means Of realistic ef-
sects and with musical score made
Ehemes in such manner that the
spoken word is not missed
Among the gigantic scenes Of 'The
Birth of a Nation" are those Of the
Dttle Of Petersburg, fought by $4,000
men or field five miles across;
The assassination OF President Lin
coin in the crowded Ford's theater,
the wild rides Of the Ku Klux Klan
and the session Of the South Caro-
lima legislature under the negro car
petbagger.
