“BIRTH OF A NATION” BACK
FOR RETURN ENGAGEMENT
America’s first super film spec
tacle, and still regarded as its
greatest, “The fiirtn of a Na
tion,” opens a two-days’ return
engagement at the Alamo today.
The great Griffith spectacle will
once more challenge comparison
with its later competitors. What
film approaches it for sheer dra
matic intensity and heart pathos?
As in the days when its smash
ing battle scenes, its thousands of
white robed Klansmen rushing to
the rescue of those beleaguered
ip town and cabin, its reproduc
tions of such historic scenes as
Lincoln’s assassination at Ford’s
Theatre, the surrender of Lee to
Grant at Appomatix, the famous
picture will be re-enacted with all
the wealth of its national appeal
and its magic musical setting.
