SCENE FROM "BIRTH OF A NATION"
After a sensational tour of the country following its record-breaking engage
ment here, D. VV. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation," returns here for an en
gagement of three days, beginning to-day at the Orpheum. The presentation
of the great spectacle is identically, in every respect, the same that appeared
here previously with the same large symphony orchestra. As before there will
be daily matinees.
For "The Birth of a Nation," Mr. Griffith took as the skeleton the story of
Thomas Dixon's "The Clansman," but he had In mind a far vaster conception
than Dixon's. It was his aim Jo reproduce an epoch in American history so
vividly that the spectators would actually be carried out of the present and
live for three hours In a past that is fast becoming remote and hazy. He did
not make the mistake of desiring to depict this period of the past in a naked
and horrid realism. He was determined from the start to throw about it a
glamor of romance that would soften the picture without distorting it.
Among the gigantic scenes of "The Birth of a Nation," are those of the bat
tles of St. Petersburg, fought by 18,000 men on a Held Ave miles across; the
march of Sherman to the sea, culminating with the burning of Atlanta; the
assassination of President Lincoln in the crowded Ford's theater; the'wild
rides of the Ku Klux Klan and the session of the South Carolina Legislature
under the negro carpetbagger regime.
"THE INNOCENT
SINNER" PLEASES
New Play That Is Well Bal
anced Presented Here For
First Time
Harrisburg- theatergoers who saw
"The Innocent Sinner" at the Orpheum
on Saturday could not have found a
more entertaining, thrilling and tense
drama to enjoy.
From the rise of the curtain in act 1
until the final words of the last act
the play is full of action, presenting a
forceful life story as it moves on to its
close.
Despite the fact that it is a new play
and must come before many other
critical audiences before it is finally
I approved, the characters could have
1 made but little improvement In their
work in the presentation on Saturday.
All of them played exceptionally well,
knew their parts and with the excep
tion of a few minor slips exceeded the
expectations of even the< most opti
mistic. The story of the play is almost
sure to please. It is one of the life of
a daughter of a notorious woman who
fights a life battle to overcome the
ignominy of her mother's name. She
finally sacrifices her life so that her
daughter shall not know who she is.
Miss Julia Dean as Sylvia played
the part of the daughter whoso fight
was to overcome her heritage of a
name, Tliurloy Bergen took the part
of Gilbert Dexter, her husband. In an
argument with his wife concerning
her past and her relations with Mr.
Boyde-Clyde, represented by Frederick
Truesdell, Dexter falls down the stairs
at their home in Paris and is sup
posedly killed. His wife, leaving the
home, joins Clyde, a New York "con
fidence" man with a shady reputation.
How the action moves forward seven
teen years and terminates with the
reappearance of Dexter, who finds his
wife and daughter, the murder of
Cljde by Sylvia, and her suicide, is
the climax of the third and fourth
acts.
Other characters in the play are
George Riddell, as Martin Dexter,
father of Gilbert Dexter; Franklin
George, as Ambrose, one of the serv
ants in the Dexter home; Miss Kate
Blancke, as Mrs. Martin Dexter; Ed
win Holt, as "Doc" Prlngle, one of
Clyde's accomplices; John F. Webber,
as the "Saint," also in the Clyde ring;
Miss Mona Bruns, as Loulu. associated,
too, with Clyde; Miss Ellis Baker, us
Mona, daughter of Gilbert Dexter and
Sylvia; Sydney Blair, as Jack Stan
nard, llona'a sweetheart; Joseph R.
Garry, George Summers and G. O.
Howard, police officers.
The drama, by Oliver D. Bailey snd
Joseph Noel, is well written and con
tains just enough humorous situations
to keep it from becoming tiresome.

of Sir Douglas Mawson's Expedition
through mountainous seas, raging bliz
zards and towering icebergs Into the
heart of the Antarctic continent. The
close-up scenes offer endless amaze
ment. They show penguins, a kind of
bird-fish which cannot be seen In any
zoo nor elsewhere on earth, and vet for
natural comedy they are truly "head
liners." They nre as funny as they are
real. To see these queer creatures Is
alone, worth the price of a ticket.

Passion for power is the
underlying motive of the character
played by Theda Bara in this remark
able picture—but it is a passion which
ends with her own defeat. The man
agement of the Victoria also announces
that very shortly Pox comedies, totallv
different from any over shown and tiie

Women, by Albert Payson Terhune.
The story of this drama has to do
with a young wontan who was unfortu
nately wedded to a swindling stock
broker. How his ruin is accomplished,
how to escape the law he is supposed to
have committed suicide, and how his
wife is married to the man whom she
really loves, only to have her first hus
band appear on the scene, is brought
about in a series of unusual scenes,
which swiftly take the audience from
the drawingrooms in fashionable New
York homes, to the dirt and heat of a
South African diamond mine.
