Sometime ago It was announced that th Interests of the Catholic Church were about to publish a list, called the "white Hkt qf moving-picture theatres."

Outside auoh a summary this huge entertainment of a hundred satisfactions leaves him won dering what on earth to eay first. It has too many virtues. Thero Is the scenario, first of alt. With Frank Woods' aid Mr. arlflUh ha begun-fcy tho miracle of making Thomas Dixon plausible. More than that, he has bultt on the foundation of the rhetorical "Clansman" and some Northern and Southern love affairs which are just about aa pucrllo a .three-hour narrative that moves with admirable sequence to excit ing and nffecVng climaxes. Finally, ho' has fused the drama of nations with tho drama ot Individuals, lie has thrown Rreat vlatas of tho Civil War before us as a background to tho adventures of his people and mado the two unite to aid euch other. The one .thing that Impresses most Is undoubtedly the mighty perfection of tho battle scenes. The sweep and tho detail, the Immensity of tho action and perfec tion ot each part, make you marvel at the Imagination nnd the labor that must havo been behind their conception and rehearsal. Yet jOrlfllth's skill In tho de velopment of tho war scenes as a whole Is far mare remarkable. By progressing from rushing guerrilla skirmishes at Piedmont to tho devastating descent of Sherman on Atlanta, nnd flnnlty to the rebel charges and defeat on the cannon swept plains of Petersburg, Orimth sweeps his audience to a climax ot battle that Is terrific Whllo the first part of the picture Is war In the targe, Impressive and moving In the grander sense, the second ts made melodramatic and exciting by the rides ot the KuKlux Klan to save various whites from tht- perils of Reconstruction. There Orllllth uses every ounce of the screen's power to fling out rapid, racing action. And to this melodrama he adds some beautiful, striking views of tho white riders assembling ln broad fields, charging down long, still roads, curving over hills nt sunrise. These nro only a few examples of tho admlrnbto wedding of, excitement nnd beauty which Grlinth so sagely recognizes na tho photoplay's special province. There nro n dozen other perfections. To name only ono example ot one of these, tho photography picks out the difference of atmospheric light between a northern town nnd the leaf-flecked warmness of South Carolina. Music and some skilful off-stage sounds add a thrill, sometimes of recollection, sometimes of reality. Tho acting is almost without exception of the best film quality. It reaches Its height ln Henry B. Walthall's spirited "Llttlo Colonel." He ts an actor of rare Imagina tive sense. Judged by Qrlfllth's own very exacting standards, there are only two mistakes In "The Birth of n Nation." One is tho tendency of tho sky to turn pink when ever the Ku Klux Klan heave In sight with their llttlo fiery cross. Tho other Is Lillian Glsh. But they aro small, Indeed, beside the virtues hinted above. They are absolute ly nothing by comparison with some power of unified achievement ln Griffith's work which bailies concrete statement.

Newspaper headlines and dispatches tell the story. Once more the great wall, in which were used 28,500 barrels of ALPHA stood the lashing and the battering of the galeand is credited with having saved Galveston. ALPHA CEMENT has been used in a large number of con structions where concrete had to meet unusual conditions and cement of the highest grade wasrequired. ALPHA CEMENT represents 24 years of experience in cement-making and is tested by expert chemists every hour, day and night, during its manufacture. Every bag of ALPHA you buy is sure to be as good as that used in build ing the Galveston Sea Wall. The six great ALPPIA plants have a daily capacity of twenty-five thousand barrels.

Philadelphia's audiences have, most koften, been the goat In presoason pieces; In this farce by A. Seymour iirown ana Harry Lewis, revised nnd staged by Otto Hauerbach, Philadelphia was nflt even the dog, Atlantic City having agreeably enough served as such. Theatrical meteorologists, who have as sisted In opening "tho season" In past years, knew that Saturday would turn hot and humid before 8 o'clock p. m. Their expectation was not unrewarded The Inevitable occurred. The result was to reduco shnrp analysis of "Brother Masons" and to accept Its good points nt perhaps a higher entertainment value than they deserved. It had more than a modicum of theso good points, and it "went" swiftly and smoothly, thanks to practice on tho Honrdwnlk crowds. He cording the verdict of the large audience, "Brother Masons" Is an early season success, for Its situations and lines set laugh waves Into continual vibration and relcgnted thoughts or thermometer and barometer Into obllvlscence. Why be critical? Why be captious? Why nay tho situations merely dust off tho familiar expedients of farce? Why declare that tho humor of the dialogue docs not proceed essentially from char Hcter or plot, but at Its most humorous You know what a wonderful cleaner naptha is? Well, we've combined it with other harm less cleansers, and put them all into a cake of soap Fels Naptha. There they stay until they come in contact with water. Then they start to work. The dirtiest clothes can be made clean, and the biggest wash done in half the usual time, v. it you use s if Not only for washing clothes just as wonderful for all household cleaning. :. :s2 b Wi.'.: 'r"?fv 'W x.

Rather, It h laughed and applauded, Despite Its ver dict, "only an observer" In the play, houses for a decade may casually state that some time his watchful waiting will bo rewarded In a farce that has an un hackneyed basts and situations that are amusing, surprising and believable. "Urother Masons" has two such episodes, the smashing climax of act I and the pinochle game In act lit. Pome day, too, a playwright wilt reserve his best, his most unexpected material for the denouement of his farce. The to-authors of "Urother Masons" have not cone so, and the "reviser" frankly riamed on the program has not reorgan ized and reordered the situations, Doubtless the collaborators thought the result of their labors waa .funny enough. Well, It has lots of laughs. It Is dlfTicult to discover from the farce whethor It was "built up" on a "catchy" title, or whether the title was an nfter thought, and the Maaonlo touches inter polated to carry It.
