.OLD HOMESTEAD
 RURAL LIFE STORY
Carries All The Atmosphere Of Country Preside Of The
 Early Eighties

All the atmosphere of the old rural fireside, as 1t was in tho early eighties, is found in Denman Thomp- sons old classic. ''The Old Home stead" now sn its thirty-seventh year, which Augustus Pitou, Inc, are bring ing to the Jefferson for three days, starting Thursday, with usual Satur- day matinee.
 The story of 'oThe Old Homestead' is of the simplest, the incidents those of everyday rural life, with real human interest in the play, the nat ural mixture of comedy and pathos and the simple yet forcible appeal to the strongest human emotion, the love of parent for an erring son and his redemption through that love, have made it outlive far more pre- tentious dramas and proves its drawing power by its ever natural ness and simplicity.

"THE BIRTH oF A NArIoNy

"The Birth of a Natlon," D. W. Griffith's epochal film sensation, is again an attraction in Birmingham. The picture is being presented after noon and evening as special Christ mas week offering at the Masonic auditorium.
 For many years American drama lists wrote able plays of particular states, cities or localities, ranging from Alabama" to "The Henrietta" and from 'Way Down East" to 'The Great Divide" But no one man seemed to grasp the whole spirit and genius of America until David Wark Griffith picked a suggestion for his theme out of Dixon's ''The Leopard Spots" and "The Clansman" and started to develop 1t.
 A remarkable thing about Mir. Grif- fith's plan is that words (except for leaders and titles) did not enter into 1t. Perhaps the words had cramped rather than aided previous fiction ists and dramatists. At any rate. he replaced speech by music. and the old fashioned stage action and scenery by the piotorlalized ac- tion of thousands of players in the great out-of-doors. In brief, he staged the great battles. struggles and critical events of 1s61-'70 under natural conditions as nearly as pos sible similar to the original.

er great memorial Is to be erected in
memory c. the late Colonel Roosevelt.
Greatest Of All.
But the most magnificent of all
memorials to patriotism and valor is
the great national cemetery at Airing
ton. just across the Potomac river
and overlooking the capital city. Here
lie buried the heroes of three wars,
with monuments varying from the sim
pie marble headstone of the private
soldier to the great monuments and
mausoleums of distinguished colonies,
generals. rear admirals and admirals.
Here the older members of our pres
ent generation who were familiar with
the stirring times of the great Civil
war may wander for hours, recognize
ing by their monuments the last rest
ing places of men famous for their
part in preserving the Union.
On fame's eternal camping ground.
Their silent tents are spread.
The bivouac of the dead.
The two outstanding monuments of
Arlington are the fighting top Of the
battleship Maine, which was recovered
from the Havana harbor where 1t was
sunk, an outrage which brought on
the Spanish-American war, beneath
which are buried the remains of many
brave American sailors, and not far
distant from II the recently completed
white marble amphitheater beneath
and around which is vast partltioned
gallery in which the bodies of dead
heroes are placed before their perma-
nent burial beneath the green sod Of
Arlington. A recent addition to the
Arlington cemetery is beautiful
memorial dedicated to Admiral Peary,
the intrepid discoverer of the North
pole.
While Memorial day services take
place in almost every city and hamlet
in the country, probably the most I'M
pressive observance of the day is that
In the Arlington ampitheater. The
United States Marine band provides
music for the occasion, and brilliant
and inspiring eulogies are delivered.
The President of the United States Is
usually the chief speaker. and the
ambassadors and ministers of foreign
powers in Washington as well as men
highest In our national affairs are
among the thousands who gather to
do honor to the nations dead.
