REPRODUCTION AT EMPRESS ON
 FRIDAY NIGHT

The Birth of a Nation" D. w. Grif t!th's massive spectacle, coming to the Empress theater Friday night, Is the largest and most important pro- duction of a decade, not yet n word is spoken throughout the perform ance of nearly three hours Music supplies the absence of speech me chanical effects and realism, whilst the wizard of the screen, David w. Griffith, unfolds in 12.000 feet of film the thrilling romance of the war be. tween the States and the reConstruc. ton Of the Southland Some idea of its magnitude may be had from the facts that lS.000 actors and 5000 horses took part and that the staging of this great outdoor" drama cost half a million dollars.
 Several of the actors are of South. ern lineage. Henry Walthall, who plays the heroic role of the little Con. federate colonel. is member of the well-known Walthall family of Ala bama. Miriam Cooper, who appears as Margaret Cameron, is a direct de- scendant of Charles Carroll, the Mary land signer of the Declaration of In dependence. MT. Griffith is the son of brigadier general of the Confed- crate army.
 For every character, however small, MT. Griffith has found just the per sonality needed. After that his mas. terly direction made each one give a perfect characterization of the widely. varying roles. The result was not acting but life itself. Such realism is never seen on the old-fashioned stage. The limitations of the theater were swept away, for Nature was Mir. Griffith's stage. Panorama after pan orama is revealed to the astonished eyes of the spectator The most in- ventive imagination could hardly pic. ture to itself such scenes of splendor.

WE ARE FIGHTING A COMMON FOE
BY the REV. CHARLES STEELE.

Christianity is largely responsible
for the social unrest which character
ICES the present generation. For CEN
turies it has been presenting to men
the high ideals which are resulting in
nobler aspirations. The people have
responded to the appeal made in the
name of its founder, and we dare not
now repudiate the resultant demands
which have become so insistent.
Christianity has been teaching the
value of the individual. The practical
application of that teaching is found
incarnated in the labor unions insist
ence upon the right of every man,
woman and child to live the life which
God intended should be lived by them.
Because of the Church's teaching it
must stand by the workingman in his
fight for the child. 1t must fearlessly
support him in his endeavor to relieve
the almost uncomfortable condition of
the woman who tolls.
Because of its repeated messages in
respect to cleanliness it must cham
pion the workers in their struggles
to secure for themselves better sani-
tary conditions in the home and in the
shop. 1t must fire volley after volley
into the sweatshop and into every
body and everything that supports it,
until the thing is absolutely wiped out
of existence Because of its we'll
known teaching it should give no peace
until the workers have the fullest op-
portunity for developing the highest
type of manhood and of citizenship.
If only one life was involved, all this
would be demanded. But there are
millions in whose behalf the fight
must be made.
So let US get together-the Church
and Labor-in the name of our COM
mon Leader, to put to rout every foe
of the higher life-whether that foe
be found in ourselves, whether he be
in our own ranks, or whether he be an
outsider who is dominated by the greed
for gold.

TEACHING GRASS WIDOWS HOW TO
MAKE HAY IN OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL
By Arthur Brooks Baker.

Being woman is a crime which
is punishable by marriage. Marriage
is a euphemism often representing
imprisonment for life at hard labor"
Sometimes the warden tires of his
duty and kicks the prison to pieces,
leaving the woman free. And her last
state is worse than her first, for she
doesn't know what to do. Often she
prays the court to arrest the fugitive
warden and rebuild the prison.
Court of domestic relations"-bah! !!
l found something better than that.
1t is a Denver technical school for
teaching grass widows to make hay.
Il have no intention of compelling
my husband to live with me, and it
might be hard job if I tried it, for
/ don't know where he is" said pref
ty young student at the Opportunity
school.
Makes Fast Progress.
''My parents did not prepare me
for such an event as being left alone
with two children to support. l knew
absolutely nothing about any kind of
skilled work, so when my husband de-
serted me l took in washing, not be-
cause l am strong enough to do it, but
because / know nothing else"
Shumway, one of the human-nature
experts of the school, SIS coming here
to brighten up her English and study
bookkeeping. She washes all day, and
comes down here at night after she
has put the children to sleep.
Naturally, with working spirit
like that she makes wonderful prog
ress. Her papers in the bookkeeping
class are models of neatness, and she
will soon be a first class bookkeeper.
You know, there's big demand for
help in that line now"
Explain Works Beginning.
Wont you tell me how you came
to get into this work of aiding the
people who have immediate need of
practical learning?" asked Mrs.
Shumway
Before my marriage ! was a school
teacher. l brought up a family, and
after the death of my husband came
back into school work. Before the
Opportunity school was founded we
had a night school here, and l was
continually brought into contact with
the critical needs of the students.
II guess the real awakening came
to me when a girl of Is burst into
tears in the class one night, and on
had lost her position. She was work
ing in a department store, and had
been told by the manager to mark
down all her goods 20 per cent for a
special sale. She was unable to figure
such simple thing like that, and just
marked down her goods by guess. AS
result she was discharged.
Girl Is Reinstated.
~ took this girl under special in
struction for few days, taught her
the things which any girl in store
ought to know, and then went back
with her to the man who had dis
missed her. There was no difficulty
in securing her reinstatement"
at seems to me-" Mrs. Shumway, I
observed, "that the Opportunity school
does not disprize the cultural studies,
such as Greek and Latin and history,
but simply tries to meet the cold fact
that bread is prior to all higher
things"
Exactly that Why, you have no
idea how many people come to this

"The war has not only created
thousands of new positions, but many

right on coming to Opportunity
school,"
"From what social class do most Of
your students Gomez" 1 asked.
"The majority are women who have
been deserted by their husbands and
who are forced to face the problem of
making themselves useful to the world
instead of just useful to one man."
"On the whole, Mrs. Shumway, do
you not feel that the time is near at
hand when the woman who serves the
world will have a dignity superior to
that of the woman who drives her
whole life bargain with one man."
"Clinging Vines" Passing.
"That time is here now. The cling
ing vine type of woman has gone out,
never to return"
"In spite of what you say, she. still
lives in the finest houses, wears the
best clothes, eats the best food and
has her picture and her daily chron-
icles in the society columns of the
papers"
"Perhaps so," admitted the busy
woman. 81 don't read the society sec
ton. l am too close to life"
In those last three words, she epito-
mized the spirit of the Opportunity
school Close to life.
