"THE BIRTH OF A NATION"
COMING TO THE MAJESTIC

-. W Griffith's THE Birth OF "A
Nation" will open an engagement
next Wednesday al tho Majestic The
first class metropolitan production Ia
guaranteed 10 be the one shown here.
Many circumstances have con
spired TO make THE Birth OF a Ma
ton" the most widely discussed pic
ture in the world. Suggested by
Thomas DlNon's southern novels. IL
EN- braces "A far wider scope than
The Ciansman" play. Mr.. Griffith's
new art covers l5O yeas OF history
and plctorialiIes the greatest events
OF the war between the states as well
as those OF reconstruction. Lincoln
Lee and Grant, tho early giQries OF
the Confederacy: the dccastatlon Of
General Sherman's march to the sea
the awful siege OF Petersburg: the
signing OF peace at AppomattoX, the
asSassinationC OF the president Ia
Ford's ,theater and the succeeding
orgy OF hate and oppression OF the
south--theae personages and Incl
dents pass rapidly before the en-
thralled spectator and lead up To the
terrific clImaxcH OF part two, which
il devoted TO Whit has been styled
the second struggle between the
north and the south" struggle
caused by the attempt TO impose car
petbagger rule upon the conquered
statea The wild adventures and
achievements OF the Ku Klux Klan
dominate the final scenes. which
yield happy ending OF double ro-
nance -of southern and northern
sweethearta.
Mr.. Griffith's treatment OF the
magnificent theme is so much great
er and grnnder than the original play
that there can be no comparison. For
example. he presents $4,000 actors
and 5000 horses instead Of the
: tiny" armies Of the theater boards.
He shows 5000 scenes In place OF
four or five. far-flung battle lines OF
many, many miles. and ku kluN
"riyies" right out In the open. whlch
surpass in thrills any Nanderoilt cup
race. Yet the individual acting Is AZ
fine and artistic as In short cast
drama, the work OF Henry Walthali
as the Clansmau and OF Mae Marsh
as Flora. In particular. rising TO
heights of genius Other merNels OF
| the work are the 200 900 faithfully
accurate historical details; the mus,
cal score synchronl1ed TO the several
/
scenes. the wonderful reproduction
| OF crowded interiors like the inca
ter performance where Lincoln was
shot and the South Carolina legiS-
lature session OF 1870: the tnklng OF
hattie scenes at night by secret new
process; the<sise o. $4,000 yards OF
| cloth foAKu Klux costumes and H.
| OOO wards for womep's dresses: the
masters RembrandtAJlke manage
ment OF light and shade; the depio-
/ ton OF the glorious beauty or out
door nature; his marvellous auier yei
effective playing the entire gam ui
OF romance from lightest comedy 10
deepest tragedy; finally and su-
premely. the union Of all the Stage
arts Except conversational speech
Into new art-form OF drama
! spectacle- with-music.

.The new American army like the
French has number OF Negro divisions,
but these have not yet been thrown into
the battle.
Among the American prisoners a sur
prisingly large percentage bear German
names They say men OF German descent
are prominent among the American ar
my leaders.
''The consensus OF opinion among our

of the American troops should in no wise
| be moderated Boastful of their Ameri
can superiority and in high spirits, owing
to the fulsome fattery of the French pub
lie, they rush into the fire with naive
recklessness, but as they have not vet
learned to fight in extended order ana
how to protect themselves skillfully from

heavier than the others.
