"INTOLERANCE"
AT ORPHEUM
Superb Spectacle Teaches Les
son of Tolerance and Love's
Struggles in the Ages
"Intolerance," the new David Wark
Griffith film shewn at the Orpheuni
yesterday and which will be shown for
two days more, is not a story-—it is a
series of spectacles, as the subtitle lias
it. "Love's Struggle Throughout the
Ages." It aims to .show how intoler
ance is the factor at root for the social
evils of to-day as in the times of Christ,
as in Babylonian times, as in the medi
aeval French period. "Intolerance" isn't
exactly what one would call amusement
—it is entirely too vigorous for that—
it is more inclined to be educational
with an extra large amount of philo
sophical broad-mindness thrown in.
"Intolerance" is by far the greatest
film ever shown. Magnitude has receiv
ed a MW impetus under the masterful
directing hand of the man who gave us
"The Birth of a Nation." Scenically the
last is greater than the first, for driv
ing home its lesson it is weaker. The
teaching of "Intolerance" is in reality
a visual plea in a disguised form for
living and let live, and most especially
in motion picture production—a "laissen
faire." theory. Let the people be the
censors. "Intolerance" teaches that
social evils, to-day as yesterday, are
born of some people being intolerant of
other people's notions and ideas. And
so it is in a large sense, but we are
rather of the opinion that the modern
part of the film was rather built to suit
the teaching, more so than being an ac
tual chronicle of the times. Charity, in
the film, suffers from the interpretation
given to it.
For its magnitude, "Intolerance" has
set a new standard. The cast of char
acters numbers a galaxy of stars which
will scarce be found again on a pro
gram. The immensity of the staging
and the strict adherence to the histori
cal are marvels of production, as is also
the manner in which the counterparts
of each period ure shown in the three
other periods of the tilm. For tile Mm
is divided into three parts: Modern
Babylonian, of the time of Christ and
of the mediaeval French. And in each
one of these four parts the counterpart
of the "Intolerance" as compared with
the modern is shown.
Griffith has done many things in this
film which other producers have not yet
dared to do. The filming of The Christ,
and the manner in which he handled
the massacres, the mob scenes. Audi
ences have become accustomed to mur
der on the screen handled in a delicate
way. but the gruesomeness of many of
the scenes in "Intolerance" appall, re
volt and disgust. Lt us hope that
Grifilth has reached a limit beyond
which other producers cannot venture.
And in his morbidly voluptuous charac
terization of the unlicensed orgy of
Belshazzar. he. too, has gone more than
far enough. But withal. "Intolerance"
as a whole is a marvelous spectacle,
which will be long in finding its equal.
To those who plan to attend "Intol
erance" the management desires to im
press upon their minds that the curtain
rises promtply at 2:10 p. m. and 8:10
p m. The film is nicely timed to reach
a certain time for ending, and the audi
ence it is especially desired, be In their
seats and thus avoid annoyance after
the film has started.

story of "The Other Man's Wife." the
play by Victor E. I<ainbert. which conies
to the Orpheum on next Friday, aftur
noon and evening. Mr. I.ambert will be
remembered by many for his perform
ance of "Manson" in "The Servant in the
House."
Added to a reputation for having
achieved unlimited success during a
run of 200 performances
"The Girl at the Dongacre Theater.
Who >mllcx" in New York, and the
country-wide popularity
of its musical furnishings, "The Girl
Who Smiles" cannot fail to command
unusual consideration on the occasion I
of its visit at the Orpheum. next Satur- !
day, matinee and night. It is seldom I
that a musical comedy carries with it ]
such conviction as "The Girl Who i
Smiles" possesses. In every feature of I
its intentions it provides convincing
proof of its admirable qualities as an
entertainment well calculated to win
the most cordial approval.
The season's bigest matinee crowd
greeted the new bill of vaudeville which
opened at the Majestic yes
i The terday afternoon. The list of
I Majestic attractions are headed by Fred
I 1111 l Ardath and Company, who
present an excellent rube
comedy act, entitled "A Corner Store."
It is, without a doubt, one of the big
j gest laughing sensations of the season.
|and kept the audience in uproarious
I laughter all the time. King and Har
vey are a popular number on the bill,
and they not only sing a number of
songs in delightful fashion, but also
introduce quite a bit of good, clean
comedy into their act. The Dancing
Golds were enthusiastically received,
and their dance offering pleased their
many friends, who turned out in large
numbers to greet them. Raymo and
Hoyt, in an excellent Italian character
offering, and the Great Johnson, trapeze
artist, complete the bill.
War, as an argument against war.
is the theme of Thomas H. Ince's great
cinema spectacle. "Civi
"rivlllratlon" lization," which was
Coming first shown in New
to Family York last June and run
for many months. It
comes to the Family Theater for a
two days' engagement, Friday an<l Sat
urday, February 23-24.
"Civilization." it is said, cost a mil
lion dollars to produce and over a year
was spent upon it. Mr. Ince made the
work his crowning achievement and it
has been hailed by New York and Chi
cago critics as "Greater than 'The
Birth of a Nation.'"
For nearly three hours the big spec
tacle depicts the horrors of war as now
conducted in Europe. Battles by land
and sea. aerial combats, trench war
fare. machine gun massacres, destruc
tion of cities, torpedoing of battleships,
sinking of the Dnsitania and other grim
'scenes are recorded. Warfare is shown
las a reign of terrorism that exacts its

women and children it grinds down,
