It is important for intending pa
trons of '"The Birth of a Nation,"
which commences a limited return
engagement at the Monday afternoon,
to take note, that this is the farewell
tour of this 'tremendously successful
spectacle. There will be two per
formances daily at 3:15 and S.30 p.
m.
So many elements enter into the
success of "The Birth , of a Nation,"
that an enumeration of the merits of
the production might prove tedious,
but it should be again said that the
musical accompaniment to the pic
ture, embracing folk-songs, National
anthems, engaging dance melodies
and some of the finest compositions
of the world's bestcomposers, togeth
er with the creations of Joseph Carl
Breil, has no small part in contribute
ing to the entertainment.
A finely selected company of actors
is seen in historic and romantic roles,
and there are tremendous battle
scenes, wonderful sight rides of the
Ku Klux Klan, delightful bits of com
edy and romance and a visualization
of great historic events such as the
assasination of President Lincoln and
the surrender of Lee to Grant.
No such vital picture as "The Birth
of a Nation" has yet been placed up
on the screen, and it is not at all
strange that persons who have once
seen the production again and again,
sit under the spell of the Griffith masterpiece.
