HISTORIC PLAY
WILL Be SHOWN
At COLISEUM

In his great film Intolerance,
which will be presented at the Coli
scum on August 3Oth and September
LIST, D. w. Griffith has visualized
imaginings such as one might have
after reading Arabian Nights, but
never expected to enjoy except in
fancy. There are not superlatives
enough to do justice to this creation,
particularly that part of it recreat-
ing ancient Babylon and showing the
scenes attendant upon the taking
of that city by Cyrus the Great and
his horde of Persians.
Mr.. Griffith in "Intolerance",
with its four parallel, correlated
stories, has set mark in spectacu-
lar motion picture production that
may never be surpassed. 1t is safe
to assert that if it is surpassed it
will be done by Mr.. Griffith him
self, and not by any of his rivals,
clever and resourceful as some of
them are, because "Intolerance", is
SO much vaster in conception and
more mastery in execution than any
thing which has gone before that
it is logical to assume that anything
bigger will come from the brain
which gave it birth.
] The ethical purpose of "Intoler-
ance" as its name suggests is to
show that narrowness and bigotry
and lack of human sympathy have
been responsible from earliest times
until now for most of the misery
under which the world has staggered.
! The historical incidents taken by
Mr.. Griffith to illustrate this truth
are the betrayal of Babylon to the
Persians by the priests of Baal; the
persecution and the crucifixion of
Christ; the parallel modern story
shows how the pharisees and bigots
of today, including the holier-than-
thou-reformers, retard social prog
ress and make a mockery of law
and justice.
Each of the separate stories has
its separate characters and each in
turn is interrupted to give way tc
one of the others. The whole is in
tended to show the prevalence anc
iniquity of intolerance in all ages
The most spectacular features o.
the entire picture relate to Babylon
and its fall. The battle scenes, in
Producing all the ancient methods
of warfare, are on an indescribabl,
stupendous scale. How many per
sons are employed in the pictur,
no one but the director himself prob
ably knows. There seemed to b.
thousands and then more thousands
Daredevil feats were numerous an,
the turmoil and excitement of som
of the scenes became almost mad
. dening.
