In a four-ring performance Wednesday in Chapman hall, the footsteps of “Intolerance” traced their path. Ranging from the splendor and fall of Babylon to the dejection and resurrection of a 1916 melodramatic factory worker, the film was presented to four University audiences. The “modern” theme of the resurrected “oldie” sketched the life and hard times of ordinary folks with ordinary foibles and follies, pestered by socialites at tempting, with insincere purpose, to “uplift” them. Intermingled, with almost split second changes, was the story of the tragic St. Bartholomew’s massacre of the French Hugue nots. Added to this was the tale of a Babylonian Amazon’s war efforts and the sell-out of her native city, combined with the crucifixion of Christ. An educational activities pre sentation, the picture was the third of the “Survey of the Film in America” series. The silent was produced by D. W. Griffith, maker of “Birth of a Nation.” Those aiding in the showing of the movie were Bobby Sinclair, Jean Fridiger, Mary Bentley, Jane Grey, Barbara Lamb, Yvonne Torgler, and Marilee Margascn.
