one is built like many of its

"BIRTH OF A NATION"
Great Griffith Spectacle Will
Return and Others Coming
in Future.
Over 1,900 people of Albany and
vicinity witnessed "The Birth of a
Nation,". D. W. Griffith's great pro
duction, the first three days of this
week, and paid over $2,000 for the
privilege. But so far as known not
a person was not satisfied. Every
one seemed to be glad of spending the
dolar or dollar and a half for a seat
It
was indeed a historical treat foiS
school children and was worth a
whole year of history in school with
regard to events leading up to and
through 'and following the Civil War.
The music with the film was alone
worth the money.
Over half of the members of the
orchestra are members of the Minn
eapolis Symphony Orchestra and are
all high-priced musicians. The music
is one.of the big features of the play,
and the orchestra is playing practi
cally the entire time the film is being
shown.
Conrad Myers, manager of the
Globe Theatre, stated this morning
that "The Birth of a Nation" will be
back here in October when those who
did not get a chance to see it will be
given another opportunity.
In this great picture the power of
advertising is aptly illustrated. The
company spent over $500 in and
around Albany, mostly in newspapers,
in getting the picture before the pub
lic. The fact that the play is now so
'well known in this locality will make
the second advertising campaign ex
pense lighter, and the public will be
given the benefit of the diffeicnce.
Top prices on the next performance
will be one dollar.
" Pictures made under the direction
or supervision of Griffith are shown
every week at the Globe Theatre on
the Triangle program: but while they
are fine examples of the producer's
art, they are necessarily not in a class
with this big play just past. However,
even in the pictures that show for 15
cents Griffith's genius is often seen
in battle scenes and other views of a
big scope of action
In the near future another big play
made by Griffith will be released. It
is "Ramona" a Spanish romance. It
is also about 12 reels in length, and
will carry a string orchestra of 50
pieces. The jnusic is now being re
hearsed. The harpist, recently with
the company just here returned to
Minneapolis a short time ago to join
in the rehearsals with the string or
chestra. And later wiJI come another
great Griffith picture, now being
made. It is known at present as "Wo
man and the Law," but the name will
be-changed before presentation. It
has been- over a year in the making
and will require two years to com
plete. Double the money spent on
"The Birth of a Nation" is being
spent on this pfay over a million
dollars. Recently the "supers," the
people taking part in army, mob and
other scenes, were served a noon
lunch. The number engaged in the
play can be estimated by the . fact
that several wagon loads of sand
wiches were served, soup brought in
huge urns, also the coffee. This one
lunch cost over $1,700 and was only
a lunch, soup, sandwiches, coffee be
ing about all that was served. The
motion picture business is truly a
great enterprise. .- ..,
Another great picture to be seen.
here in the future is the Annette Kcl
Icrman $1,000,000 picture, "A Daughter
'of the Gods," made by Herbert Brcn
non for Win. Fox on the island of
Jamica. It is a wonder for scenic
heautv, gorgeous scenes, pretty girls,
nymphs, etc.

Prettier Than Cleopatra
Virginia Pearson, appearing in her

has been considered the modern pro
totype. This assertion has been made,
not More by the publicity writers of
the Fox organization, but by no less
tn authority thin George Harwood
Barrett, noted painter of New York's
Fifth Avenue society beauties and an
illustrator of international reputation.
The Cleopatra of history to whom
Miss Pearson has been likened was
beyond question quite beautiful,' 'he
says. "But the best authority will
prove that she was almost petite. She
as not the radiant or opulent beauty
such as you find in Miss Pearson. She
was, I feel certain, of an irregular
physical type, not the woman of per
fect contour and superb fullness and
curve that one sees in Miss Pearson.

A MODERN FINANCIER.
How a Boy With 10 Cent Started
to Make Money for Himself.
"Last spring, a year ago," says
Farm and Fireside, "a ten year old
neighbor boy was given 10 cents by
his grandmother. He purchased a
packet of good cucumber seed with
his money and grew a nice patch of
cucumbers for the local village mar
ket. His crop of cucumbers brought
him a little over $6 in money, all of
which his mother allowed- him to
keep and spend aa he pleased.
"With $1 of his money this boy pur
chased a few things for himself, and
with the other $5 he purchased a, ewe
lamb. By, this spring his ewe lamb
had grown into a mature mother
sheep, and she gave birth to twin
lambs. So now the boy has three
sheep from his investment. The moth
er sheep is now worth $10, the lambs
are worth $5 each, making a total vat
ue of $20 he has earned with his 10
cents in a year and a half. Besides,
he sold the wool this spring from the
.mother sheep for $2.45, which he hat
placed in the savings hank as the be
ginning of a hank account of his
own." '

ATTEMPT TO BREAK WILL
OF BENJ. SHEPHERD MADE
Dissatisfied Heirs of Benjamin
Shepherd Would Have New
Administrator.
E. L. Shepherd today filed suit in
the probate court asking that the will
of his father, Benjamin Shepherd, be
set aside and that some one besides
M. G. Shepherd, another sou. be ap
pointed administrator. The case
promises to be a hot family fight for
the possession of the property of the
estate of the dead man.
The petitioner claims that his fath
er was 82 years old at the lime he
signed the will on May 28. I'I5, and
was suffering from a disease known
as shingles, from which he died Sept.
6 following. It is alleged Benjamin
Shepherd was in weak mind and fol
lowed the suggestion of his son, M
G. Shepherd, and the son's wife. It
is alleged that M. G. Shepherd lived
on the place and influenced his fath
er to deed to him valuable property.
The estate is valued at over $4,000
t. M. Newport, who acted as attor
ney for Shepherds when the will was
drawn, stated today that the elder
Mr, Shepherd was In sound mind ami
appeared clear and kncw'whnt he was
doing when he made out his will. He
claims it is an attempt on the part of
some of his heirs, who are disiastis
ficd with the will, to break it and
take from M. G. Shepherd, who was
favored by the father.
