PAGE 8. ‘BIRTHOF A RACE’ BIG TREATMENT QT GREAT THEME “The Birth of a Race,” to be shown at the Auditorium July 2, 3, and 4, is an ambitious photoplay done on tremendous scale to fit one of the biggest themes in life, its treatment as to cast, production and musical setting lives up to the conception of its creators who wanted to put out as fine and big a picture as has ever been screened. The purpose of “The Birth of a Race” is to show the struggle which always confronted the efforts of democracy to survive. Rule by the people as it was conceived and grew through the ages, its fight for exist- ence and its reverses and triumphs are aptly set forth with the great war as its latest phase. The first half of the big photoplay takes the beholder back to the creation of the world and is vividly portrayed through John Noble’s careful and ar- tistic direction. The second half is modern in setting and while its treat- ment is somewhat different from that in the first section, the connection be- tween the two is well sustained through a fine sense of dramatic val- ues, excellent taste and at tins a The events of creation having been done in part 1, the second half of the story begins to move at a livelier rate, showing an intensely human story of two families, one pro-Ger- man. The acting of Ben Hendricks and Alice Gale is especially prais- worthy as is the work off Steve Grat- ton and Jane Gray. “The Birth of a Race” bars no com- petitive photoplay, as to its worth in painstaking care in detail. The long period of historical research is very apparent in all of the ancient scenes which are in themselves an educa- tion. A graphic history of the early world in itself, it possesses virtues which no person can miss enjoying. It shows the progress of the peoples of the world in the matter of free- dom and democracy, their difficulties, tribulations and vicissitudes and their final brilliant victory in this war. The picture is more than solemn, glorious pageantry, more than a pic- torial procession of passing events. It is sermon, education, story and enter- tainment all rolled in one massive production. It rolls on mightily to its, conclusion without that element known as dramatic progression to- ward a climax. It needs no thrilling last minute “save me” scenes. Its theme is far too mighty and dignified for that and one does not miss the tense heroics of other big pictures of the kind. There is motion, however, and a well-developed movement but theer is no attempt to avert a satas- trophe demanded by all the -rules of art for the sake of pleasant conclu- sion. There is the hero who gives positive stroke of genius. «INTER - FA JULY 21-26-1919 FARGO mut, — Chevrolet, up his life for America, The theme STATE IR- NEW NIGERIA GOV. TiC.

But the be- holder feels that the picture is truer with such a turn in the story. The human touches, laughter and tears, the handling of the lighter scenes with deftness and the inclu- sion of real acting in the heavier moments all balance each other to- ward the common result of a hghly: artistic whole.
