The picture that set a new
standard in motion picture en
tertainment. "Birth of a Na
tion," D. W. Griffith's great
masterpiece, comes to the Rialto

Historically correct, in every
detail, "Birth of a Nation" has
been lauded for its accuracy in
depicting Lincoln's assassina
tion, the baptism of the Confed
erate flag at Bull Run, the form
ing of the Ku Klux Klan, Sher
man's march to the sea and, sur
prisingly, Lincoln's signing of!
the first federal law drafting
men into the armed forces of
the United States.
The roaring rides of the ghost
1" Klan bring thrills to the
to move both young and
d the shivering notes of
.tgle calling the white-clad
Klansmen to the fiery cross are
considered among the most
spine-tingling of all motion pic
ture sequences.
"Birth of a Nation" was
adapted from the story "The
Clansman," written by an em
battled southerner and former
clergyman Griffith, whose fath
er, Jocab Wark Griffith, was a
colonel in the 1st Kentucky Cav
alry, took Dixon s story and!
added to it those he as a child
had heard his father tell In the
prologue, Griffith tells Walter
Huston his many reasons for
producing the picture and gives
many Interesting highlights on
the production of this great
epic.

on the same program, the Rial
to will have "The Eagle vs. The
Dragon," an engrossing story of
nature mat was given prom
