Evfi-y genius has his master creation, and it is no du-
crodit .to Afr.'D. AV. 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. Phone oi'ders will be accepted.
The first offering in this service Is
"Atonement" which comes to the
Arcade theatre on Sund:iy and which
presents Regina Bndct and Albert
Signer in a porticularly brilliant, in
tense offering. The story deals with
the love adventures of a wonderfully
beautiful and talented dancer. She
loves and is beloved by one of the
two musicians in her troupe. She is
nlso loved by Count Strezzi, a wealthy
bachelor who covets her for his own
and who goes to great lengths to get
her. The most sensationally 'hrilling
drama imaginable develops from this
situation and the story ia compel'.ingly
portrayed by the two stars and the
other members of the cast,
