Griffith to sav that when he turned out ''The Birth Of t Nation", he gave the world and posterity to come the highest possible attainment of his powers for he also gar1 a marvel that no other man could surpass. To see "The Birth of a Nation" the first time is only to be electrified at its enormity, stupified at its myriads of flashing wonders; to see it a second, a third many times, is to be enabled to sit back comfortably and enjoy it immeasurably more at each successive sitting. A celebrated eastern critic has said of it that it re quires one sitting to catch "every other high place" of the terrific action; a second, to catch all the high places; a third to commence to realize all the wealth of drama that is continually going on between these high places and after that, the ordinary spectator can commence to fol low the entire production, as it flows, marveling at the tremendous harmony of the whole. Its indisputable spell is being continuously proven in every section of the country capacity houses turning out everywhere to see it every time it returns and most of them to several of the performances at each engagement. D. W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation" is coming to the Arcade Tuesday, Augst 2Sth for the second time. Re served scats for the evening show will go on sale Satur day, August 25th.
