It will be brought here in exact re- production of the great attraction which | is now in New York, where it has broken every record of the American stage. The merest statement regarding “The Birth of a Nation” leaps to superlatives because there is no other form in which it can be written. It covers the essential details of American history running through three centuries. Actual battles are shown with tens of thousands of soldiers in the conflict. 18,000 people participated in the telling of the story: Three thousand horses were used to give | the cavalry and other thrilling effects of the wild dashes over miles of territory. Cities were built up only to be destroyed by fire. The total cost of the entire pro- duction was in the neighborhood of $500,000. A symphonic score accompan- ies the action and lends a potent force to the drama.
