NEWPORT TO SHOW
"THE BIRTH OF A NATION"
Every genius has his master
creation, and it is no discredit to
Mr. D. W. Griffith to say that
when he turned out The Birth
of a Nation, he gave the world
and prosterity to come the high
est possible attainment of his
powers for he also gave a mar
vel that no other man could sur
pass. To see The Birth of a Nation
the first time is only to be elect
rified at its enority, stupified at
its myriads of flashing wonders;
to see it a second, a third time
many times, is to be enabled to
sit back comfortably and enjoy
it Immeasurably more at eacn
successive sitting.
A celebrated eastern critic
has said of it that it required
one sitting to catoh "every other
high place" of the terrific ac
tion; a second, to catch all the
high places; a third to com
mence to realize all the wealth
of drama that is continually go
ing on between thee high places
and after that, the ordinary
spectator can commence to fol
low the entire production, as it
flows, marveling at the tremen
dous harmony of the whole.
its indisputable spell is being
continually proven In every sec
tion of the country capacity
houses turning out everywhere
to see it every time it returns
and most of them to Beveral of
the performances at each en
gagement. I D. W. Griffith's Birth of a Na
tion is coming to the Midway
in Newport, July 23-24 for the
first time. There will be a spec
ial Matinee at 2 P. M. on Tues
day. I The production Is accompan
ied by a splendid three hour
musical score played by the or
ganization s own director. They
also carry their own machines
and operators Matinee prices
are CO cents for adults and 25
cents for children Evenings at
8 P. M. Prices 75 cents and
$1.00. The latter are all reserv
ed seats and on sale at the Ar
matage Drug Store on July 14th.
No children prices at night,
owing to the limited seating ca
pacity, also on account of the
length of the performance,
which is 3 hours.

refined, cooled and bottled up,
