BUILDING REVIVAL
. STARTED IN MARCH

| That the postwar building revival
actually got under way throuGout the
country during March is shown by the
statistics just completed by the De-
ipartment OF Labor. There are now 100
| I"Own-Your Own-Home" campaigns
being conducted in as many cities and
from twenty-five of these comes word
that construction began in great
volume during March.
So far Toledo, Milwaukee and Port
land, Ore, are far ahead of the others
in the amount of building that has
been begun. 1t was in these three
cities that the campaigns were first
started.
Reports for April nave not yet been
tatulated but unofficial figures show
that this months total will exceed the
present figures for March. This is
Indicative that the building game is
attaining a constantly growing mo-
mentum and that its continued pro-
gress is certain.
A table comparing the estimated
cost of building permits for March,
1918, and March, 1919, shows interest
ing variations in the construction ac~
tivities which have taken place in
numerous cities. In certain places the
increase for March. 1919, is more than
$50 per cent as the result of after
the-war activity, while in others,
where building campaigns arc not yet
under way, there is a falling off from
last year.
The following show gains: Auburn,
\. Y, Is per cent; Denver, Colo. 151
per cent: indianapolis, Ind, So per
cent; Jacksonville, Fla, "a per cent;
Kansas City. Mo-. 12O per cent; Lam

land, Oreg., 9S per cent; Salt Lake
City, "a per cent; Toledo, Ohio, 162
per cent; Utica, n. Y, 16s per cent.
Wien the shortage of houses became
acute in a number of cities, building
campaigns were started. A decline in
construction operations was reported
in March. 1919, when compared with
the same month OF the previous year,
in the following cities: Chicago, Ill,
Is per cent; Cleveland, Ohio. per

A PICTURE THAT TOOK
TWO YEARS TO MAKE

The truth of the statement that
more than two fun years were re-
quired for the making of The Birth
of a Race" the photoplay spectacle
which will be given its premiere at
tho Shubert-Belasco Theater tonight,
is readily apparent, according to those
who have viewed pre-release show
ings.
When it is borne in mind that the
picture sets forth all the pivotal
events in history from the Garden Of
Eden, through the days Of Noah and
the flood, of Moses, OF the reign of
the cruel Cleopatra, to the Crucifixion,
to Columbus, to the Declaration of In
dependence, Lincoln and the war of
rebellion, down to the late world war,
it will be realized how great was the
task.
The beautiful art subtitles which
abound in the picture were designed
by Ferdinand Pinney Earl.
The work of preparing a musical
program for the special symphony
orchestra which is sent with the pic
ture on its tour through the country
was assigned to Joseph Carl Breil,
who was responsible for the musical
synchronization used by the Griffith
pictures.
