THE BIRTH OF A NATION"
Here Again, Matinee and Evening,
Tuesday, May 14th.


Art is long, says the poet, and out
lasts throne on emperor. Occasion
ally, however, old art ideals sway and
totter to their fall, whilst a daring
revoutionist seiZes the sceptre and re-
makes the world. This is exactly
what David Wark Griffith, foremost
directors, is believed by many critics
to have done by the production of
his magnificent spectacle, "The
Birth of a Nation" which will be
seen at the Grenada Opera House,
matinee and evening, on Tuesday,
May IA.
Griffith had an idea that oral
speech could be eliminated in great
drama. He supplied the absence of
words by symphonic musical score
which fits the action like a garment.
Result: new kind Of grand opera
motion picture plus music-that bids
fair to surpass the achievements of
the dramatic stage on the one hand
and the most pretentious works of op-
cratic composers.

Mr.. H. P. Mitchell returned Sat-
urday from Camp Beauregard where
he spent a few days with his son,
Roy, who is member of the Head
quarters Co. from Grenada. He re-
ports delightful time and says if
he could call back fifteen or twenty
years he would be right there with
them. He was invited to dinner one
day with Sergeant Dave Dogan, which
was served on a goods box beside one
of the "Pup Tents" and enjoyed it
very much. He says the boys look
well and are doing fine.

Bobby Quinn in David Harum
Class As Baseball Trader

There must be something in the at
mosphere at St. Louis which develops
David Harum tactics in men connected
with the business end Of baseball.
Miller Hugglns was one OF the great
est traders In baseball He would trade
a bushor any day for a couple Of good
innelders and a pitcher and usually got
away with it. Branch Hickey has been
no slouch and now comes Bobby
Quinn, straight from the Columbus
club, with only a few months exper-
ience in the majors to beat them al at
the trading game.
Quinn scarcely got TO So. Louis last
year until he had traded Marsans for
Lee Magee and little later he began
a revision Of the club, which sent
Pitchers Earl Hamilton and Park to
Columbus with Catcher Hartley, and n
exchange got Pitcher Lowdermilk, Out
nelder Demmitt and lnnelder Gerber.
Then he swapped Rumler a pinch-hitter
90 the same club for Petite Johns.
THIS winter he went back into the
trading business with vengeance. He
nrst picked on Clark Grimih and sent
him a couple OF players for a good
pitcher and $4,000 Then he picked
The hardest man ia baseball TO do busi-
ness with, Miller Huggins, and traded
