“The Birth of a Nation," D. \V. Grif
fith's massive spectacle, coming to
the Empress theater Friday night, is
] the largest and most important pro
I duction of a decade, not yet a word
I is spoken throughout the perform
\ ance of nearly three hours. Music
supplies the absence of speech, me
chanical effects and realism, whilst
the wizard of the screen. David \V.
| Griffith, unfolds in 12.oou feet of film
j the thrilling romance of the war be
tween the States and the reconstruc
| 1 ion of the Southland Some idea of
its magnitude may be hud from the
I lacts that 18,000 actors and 3,000
horses took part and that the staging
j °f this great "outdoor" drama cost
| half a million dollars.
Several of the actors are of South
ern lineage. Henry Walthall, who
plays the heroic role of the little Con
federate colonel, is a member of the
well-known Walthall family of Ala
bama. Miriam Cooper, who appears
as Margaret Cameron, is a direct de
scendant of Charles Carroll, the Mary
land signer of the Declaration of in
dependence. Mr. Griffith is the son
of a brigadier general of the Confed
erate army.
For every character, however small,
Mr. Griffith has found just the per
sonality needed. After that his mas
terly direction made each one give a
perfect characterization of the widely
varying roles. The result was not
acting but life Itself. Such realism
is never seen on the old-fashioned
stuge. The limitations of the theater
were swept away, for Nature was Mr.
Griffith's stage. Panorama after pan
orama is revealed to the astonished
eyes of the spectator. The most in
ventive imagination could hardly pic
ture to itself such scenes of splendor.
