It ia known a* the" Birth of a Nation" and will be shown in the Moving Picture house a* adverti»ed elsewhere in this paper. When it Drat came out it waa shown in the larger cities and attracted great atten tion. The price first charged was high, about $2.50, and thoae who saw it at that price were lavish in their praise. We feel *afe in advising all our rountryfriends to come and *ee thi* great work of art next week. This is no ordinary moving picture show. To give eome idea of the im menaity if the performance it has a company of thirty or mora people who travel in their own npecial car and re main here during the time the picture is shown. They furnish a band ?f many instruments, and the music that sccompaniee the picture is of a high order and well worth the price charg ed. Behind the curtain there are un seen actor* who aid in making the picture real by noise and acting that is in harmony with the picture as it ia developed on the screen. Thus an ef fect is made the like of which has nev er before been produced on any stage apart from this great performance.
