Capt. Harris Writes
from ssOver There

Mrs. T. d. Harris is in receipt of
letter from her husband. Capt Theron
d. Harris. commanding the supply
train of the 157th Regiment. which Il
now lover there" Capt. Harris says
the regiment is billeted at a typical
French village of about 1900 inhati-
tants. with mayor. very important
parsonage, at the head of it,
Everything. he says. is old and anti
quated and the Americana feel sort
people ride around in cart; drawn by
burros or ancient, broken-down
horses. The rainy season has begun
in France. and 1t had been raining
everyday for more than week at the
time Capt Harris letter was written
on September 10. The regiment was
given an entertainment by the mayer
OF the town shortly after its arrival
there. 1t was quite grand affair.
according to Capt. Harris. and the
mayor was the observed of all OBJ
servers as he dispensed the hospital
tiles of the occasion. He was all
dressed up in hono- OF the affair and
looked the personiication Of dis,ty
and Importance.
The rapidity of ti.c movement Of tee
troops over here, continues Capt. Har-
ris. is remarkable. They don't travel
in luxury by any means, but nobody
minds 1t. as they are all getting there
and that Is the main thing. Capt.
Harris says the people, both In Eng
land and France. look upon the Amer
lean soldiers as their deliverers. and
children run out from the streets and
roadsides and give them flowers. or
shake their hands as they march by.
The fsiies French French people are SO optimistic
since the Americans have come, says
Capt. Harris, and they are confident
now that the war will soon be won by
the Allies. The French money. ac-
cording to Capt. Harris. is quite a
problem to the AMERICANS as .ex-
change is rising from day to dag. but
American money. he says. is good
anywhere and everybody Is glad to
get 1t.
Capt. Harris enclosed in his letter
highly eulogistic account ofsthe
entertainment given by the mayor OF
the town to the troops Of the 18TH
regiment. 1t is printed in the French
language on yellow and is headed "Ar
rives Des Troupes Americaines." II
highly praises the soldierly bearing
Of the Americans and their esprit de
corps.
Capt. Harris also sent In bis letter a
one franc note issued by the Chamber
of Commerce of Havre, special wal
currency issued under authority Of the
government and redeemable by the
Bank Of France.

INTOLERANCE ALL WEEK
 AT STRAND THEATRE Most Colossal Screen Spectacle of the Age Will Be Shown at Popular Prices
First Performance Today

mankind has suffered in all times and
 conditions.
 One sees the same idea in Babylon 2500 years ago, when civilization was
 bieng formed along lines of present
 understanding. Here also one sees the
 luxury of oriental excesses and the fa-
 nous city under the rule of Belshazzar
 and his mighty forces. Such scenes of ibgness and splendor were never
 dreamed of in drama before. In other scenes are the Savior at the dawn of the Christian era in Judea. and Cana,
 and Jerusalem, and later the court of Charles TX of France, and the schem- ing and plotting of Catherine de Med lei to keep her irresponsible offspring
 upon the throne of that country. and
 then mighty and comprehensive view of life as it is lived in America today, entrusted with the aims and the mis- takes of the earlier periods. And all these merge into a climax which shows that despite human frailties and mis- applied remedies Love is poiting Life
 onward and upawrd and ever seek ing to attain higher aims.
 One hundred and twenty-five thou sand people figure in the telling of this colossal narrative. while 1000 | hcrses and 1500 chariots add to the | ensemble. There are many other strik- | ing attributes which are carried out upon correspondingly large scale and chorus and orchestra of 40 in terprets the authors emotional mes sage through that most insidous of arts. music.
 The high lights of history are illum- mated graphically and you see thesc ancient places as if the sands of time had not buried them from sight. And | what is more, you catch the spirit and | bigness of it all and wonder how one brain could have conceived and CO., | ordinatcd so many startling things into
 the space of few hours entertain-
 ment in a theatre. It will unquestion- | ably be the event of the season and you cannot afford to miss the oppor- | tuniy of seeing it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-02-24

The management of the Strand an nounces beginning today and running all week, it will present what con servative critics, have proclaimed the greatest show in the world.
 D. W. Griffith's colossal spectacle, "Iptolerance'' or "The Struggle of Love Throughout the Ages is the at traction which enjoys this superla- tive distinction. It is guaranteed that the presentation here will be an eX- act duplication of the great produc- tions which MT. Griffith presented for sensational runs in New York, Chicago. Philadelphia and San Francisco earl fer in its history, and the same as are now creating worldwide fame for this producer in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, and in the famous Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. London, England, which is often affectinately referred to as the cradle of the English drama.
 Thousands doubtless know of the new art form which MT. Griffith made so successful with his other great achievement, The Birth of a Nation. lii this newer effort, which is the first production he has made since that spectacular American melodrama. he has exceeded his own high ideals. He bas literally created an entire new structure upon which to rear drama of unheard, of proportions It Is the most daring addition to dramatic lit Orature since the earliest Greek poets made drama an art entity It combines the highest purposes of music and drama with the plastic arts and with literature.
 With all of its greatness of theme, its marvels of scenic investment and its astounding spectacular unfold. ments Intolerance" is a simple dra- matic narrative showing in four pe- ! riods of the worfd's most stirring eras that love is the dominant note in all human progress and that intolerant hatred of the simple laws of nature is the cause for the woes and ills that

In offering Intolerance" to our patrons we hon. estly believe that we are offering the greatest, most elaborate and costliest motion picture ever screened, and at price of admissionno greater than you pay to see the regular routine drama or ordinary movie. This production has been showing at $200 prices heretofore at the largest opera houses in the world, and we think it a distinct achievement that we have secured it for our patrons with an admission price ar rangenlent within the reach of all.
 But aside from the distinction of this being the very climax of the motion picture art, and pro- duced by D. w. Griffith producer of The Birth of Nation," we believe that every man and woman in Birmingham should see this picture, especially at this time.
 Intolerance" deals with subject that has been and is now being discussed by many thinking people of this city, and the lesson it conveys will, without doubt, be of great value to every man and woman who sees it. We are going to give $25 to the person writing and sending in the best story of not over 400 words on Intolerance" 1" Before seeing the play, get your Webster's and look up the full meaning of the word. Send your manuscript to the Strand The award will be made Monday, March4.
