THE BIRTH OF A NATION.

Moving picture patrons are doubtless expectantly awaiting an opportunity of seeing “ The Birth of a Nation,” the rights of which have been secured by the enterprising firm of J. 0. Williamson Ltd. The production shows why Abraham Lincoln is the one great outstanding figure in American history, and how, through sheer force and nobility of character he became the dominating personality in one of the greatest crises a country ever endured. Terrible results followed the sudden accession to power by negroes, and a reign of terrorisation held sway. White men and women were openly insulted. Murder was frequent, and there was a veritable orgy of violence. All these changing scenes are depicted on the film, which is the creation of D. W. Griffith, probably the most renouned picture producer in the world. The box plan for Wednesday next is now open at Wood’s, and as the picture will doubtless prove a great success and attraction, intending patrons are advised to book as early as possible.
