Intolerance"

Intolerance"
Intolerance or the Cradle of Intol- |
erance, ID. w. Griffith's two-million |
dollar spectacle, will be seen at the
Temple Thursday. Prices of admis-
sion, 28 cents upstairs and 55 cents |
downstairs, and tickets are now on |
sale at the Court Pharmacy.
The picture really has four stories, |
the nature of each symbolized in a |
wierd, swaying cradle, and each tale |
opens with that eternal cradle and a |
mystic mother who sits near it eter-
nally rocking. We see ancient Baby
Ion in its splendor destroyed by Cyrus,
and the famous revel of history, the |
feast of Belshazzar.
The second is the worlds first great |
example of intolerance, the persecu-
ton of the Nazarene.
In Paris we will have Romeo and |
Juliet affair, terminating by the
massacre of st. Bartholomew.
Finally there is a modern American |
romance of sweet young girl.
The fighting in Babylon took place
on walls 300 feet high, on which |
scores of chariots were madly driven. |
Liquid fire was poured on the besieg-
ers below. and every known implement |
of ancient world-war was brought |
into use. 1t is indeed remarkable
that in the filming of this great |
struggle only 81 people were injured, |
and those only slightly. A field hos
pital with corps of surgeons, nurses |
and ambulances was placed near the |
scene of action to care for those in |
Jured in this mimic but realistic war
fare. Griffith himself ran as many
chances of injury as the actors, fol |
ne directed the scene from balloon.
100000 worth of lumber was used |
for the construction of the Babylon
ian buildings. Sir Herbert Beerbohm |
Tree, DeWof Hopper, Douglas Fair
banks and others appear in some
scenes and mobs, just as a quiet tri-
butte to the great director.
