It is a fair, estimate that one-half, of the six million people who have seen - this spectacle have seen it more than once. In every.rplace the enthusiasm of the vast crowds has known no bounds. v The historic features of this presen tation have attracted wide attention and educators all over the world have hen convinced tnax tnre "r' : ou wUl first through a birds - effective way to tell theory of a na-, Pys yoj iJU WJb tion; In pictorial rorm are snuwu u,f sxirrmSvulBT:r:: tne sea, me xasi Confederates at Petersburg, the sur render at Appomattox, the assessina tion of President Lincoln and the sav 'ng of the South by the Ku Klux Klan. Mere words can never give a realiza tion of the dramatic secenes, the life like and vivid reproduction of the past Realism is the keynote of the success of "The Birth of a Nation." The very stupendousness of the spectacle jflefies description. And above all it is enter tainment par excellence. Running .. through the historical scenes are two romantic love stories in which a colonel of the South loves the sister of anfficer of the North, and J the officer of the North loves the stsr ter of the Colonel of the. South. The I proud spirit of the Southern girt and ! the equally proud mien of the northern maid are. shown in as thrilling and soul-gripping a story as was . ever j staged.. Love turns to hate then to j love again as each girl watches the ! grim struggle with partican eyes, each loyal to the land of her birth. The Prince of Pilsen. Lovers of catchy music and good comedy will doubtless note with pleas- ure that the greatest of all musical comedy favorites, "The Prince of Pll i sen" will be seen at' the Academy 1 matiness and night on "next Monday. i This charming 'musical entertainment is said to be in full flush of another successful season with the production j -tew in every detail, i neaixe-goers are already familiar with the tremen . dousrsong favorites; "The Message of ,The Violet,'? "Heidelberg," "The Tale of The Sea Shell," "Pictures in Smoke," and "The Song of The Cities," 'and their hold upon the American amusement lovers is so great that "Pilsen" continues as one of the great est successes ever producer. The or ganization is headed by Charles Home and Estella Birney, and the support ing cast is said to be one of superiori ty and strenth. The matinee prices run from 50 cents to $1. Night prices range from 50 cents to $1.50. Seats go on sale at Elvington's Friday morn ing. Hawaiian Players and Singers. Talking machine manufacturers re port ffraV durlag - the $ast six lhoths they have been rushed to keep up with the demand for records of Hak aiian music, the language twang of the ukelele an dthe subtle charm of the "cola" song having won their way into th ehearts of the people of Amer ica to an unparallelled extent. The ppular song, too, has felt the influ ence of the new school, and the "old mill" and "Lovey Dovey" type of rag time song has been forced -to bow to the new kind. Every song that the island folks have ever sung down on the Waikiki beach beach besides the surf has been imported to America and composers are paraphrasing and concocting frantically, in an effort to "make hay while the sun shines." In presenting the Waikiki Hawaii an Players and Singers at the Acad emy of'Miisic Wednesday evening, Wilmington1 will have an opportunity to keep up with the other centers in America, by hearing the greatest company of Hawaiian singers and player who have found their way to the United States. If you have never heard Hawaiian music, you have a treat in store for, you. It is restful, yet tingling, sleepy and delicious to the senses. There is always a note of pathos in it, a theme q flonging. . It is wistful ,and melancholy, and re lated to it are the yearnings, sadden ed scng3 of the old-time slave of the South. ::v----- Victoria llllllllllllimilll!!II!IUIII!l-- JA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29.
