"THE BIRTH OF A NATION."
For its wonderfully realistic battle scenes and the manner in which the ffcmous exploits of the Ku Klux Klan are depicted, "The Birth of a' Nation" stands alone. But there are many other notable features which make this picture different from all others. There is a wealth of detail which has always characterised a production supervised by D. W. Griffith, and very little, if anything, is left to the imagination. There is a pathetic touch about many of the scenes, but these are lightened by humorous interludes, and the many exciting incidents with which the film abounds. The acting is excellent all
through. . '-'■' _ Last night's audience included His Excellency the Governor, Lord Liverpool, the Countess of Liverpool, and suite. The big Town Hall was crowded. "The Birth of a Nation" will be shown again to-night.
