Hollywood Sights And Sounds ‘ | e By RobbIN Cooms . HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 3. -1 saw an old friend the other day that T hadn't seen in a long time. The reunion was startling and dismaying in a way but at the same time encouraging. The name: “The Birth of a Nation.” The passing of time is never kind to moie “epics.” Movies made five years ago already are antiquated in some respects; the early talkies are mu um-pieces; era scem quaint and strange exhibits of long ago. the last films of the “silent” And “Birth” is a cinematic relic of 25 years ago — the very first, and most spectacularly influential, of the American screen's “colossals.” Only students of the screen should leok at it today -- stu- dents and those who remember it fondly as a thrilling experience when they first saw it in 1915 or the years immediately after. The latter must bring their memories with them, memories not only of the film but of the times in which it was born and traveled its path to glory. Those were times without the distrac- tions and alleged amusements that characterizes our turbulent today, times when “going to the movies” meant going to a nickelodeon — there were no “palaces of the cinema,” no radios, no television, no talkies. When you went to the movies then you saw three or four or five three or one-reelers, four-reeler two-reelers, maybe on special occasions a And then came to your town, in the “legit” theatre or the PERCY’S CAFE e sTopP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakiast, Dinner or Light Lunches * DELICIOUS FOOD : FOUNTAIN SERVICE REFRESHMENTS local opera house The Birth of a Nation.” Instead of the usua] dime, you plunked out a buck or more. Instead of the usual mechanical piano for accompaniment to the unreeling, you heard a full symphony orchestra that traveled with the film You saw a “road-show” movie — and you loved it. Today “Birth” seems, as the juniors might put it, very corny. Lavish as it was for its time, its spectacle-value long since has been topped in many lesser productions. Its romance is too, too romantic, its pathos is bathos, its acting . . . well, we have to remember that pantomime has its limitations and requires over- statement Its sub-titles, which explained motives and plot developments, were masterly in their day. (Did you weep when Little Sister jumped over the cliff to escape Gus, the Renegade? Of course you did — and this subtitle comforted you: “Fo rher who had learned the stern lesson of honor, let us not gleve that she found sweeter the Gates of Death.”) But I said at the start that this renion was encouraging, too. And so it is a courageous pion especially. The entire picture is a reminder not only of what .
