THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1921 BIRTH OF A NATION WITH ORCHESTRA COMING NOV. 2ND In bringing I). W. Griffeth’s "The Birth of a Nation," to the Strand The ater. for a limited engagement of one day, next Wednesday, November 2, the management takes pleasure in announc ing that the famous spectacle will be offered here exactly as when it scored its initial triumphs. The revival comes in the wake of its great success in New York City where, at the famous Capitol Theater which seats over 5,000 people it ran for the longest time a screen production was ever booked in that house and to the greatest receipts ever known for any production in a Broadway theater for a given week. This record is the more astonishing as 'The Birth” was revived last spring at the time when four other screen successes were in the very heighth of their respective runs but none, not ex cepting Griffethj|s masterpiece ’’Way Down East” ever played a week in New York to any such figures. It was an unqualified success in every par ticular and will be presented here as It was on this occasion with stirring original orchestra, the effective stage setting, the most wonderful cast ever assembled In a motion picture produc tion and with every attention to detail calculated to make it as appealing as ever. The story needs no retelling but those memorable battle scenes, the great plantation views, the dreamy life of the old Southland, the romance and heart interest gathering about its love conflicts, the appearance of such mighty figures of history as Lincoln, Grant, Lee, and others of equal prom inence who played their parts in writ ing the most crucial period of American history when the nation was being welded into a mighty union can never be forgotten or lose their marvelous appeal. The gathering of the Ku Klux Klan. Adventurers swarmed out of the north, as much enemies of one race as the other, to cozen, beguile, and use the negro. The white men were roused by a mere instinct of self-preservation until at last there had sprung into ex istence a great Ku Klux Klan, a verita ble invisible empire of the south to pro tect the Southern country.

Haynie. “Always Bright and Cheerful.” Susan Prudence McDonald Haynie was born March 3, 1887, and passed on to the better land Juue 7, 1921. She was united in marriage to 11. E. Haynie the third Sunday in May 1907, and during their 14 years of life to gether, she was true and faithful to every duty as wife and mother. While still a young girl she united with the Christian church, and true to her religious convictions, she re mained faithful until life's latest hour. Besides a bereft husband, and three children—two sons and a daughter— Mrs. Haynie leaves a mother, two brothers and three sisters, who feel keenly the loss of an affectionate daughter and beloved sister. She was a constant sufferer for a number of years, during which her beautiful Christian character was il lustrated in cheerful patieuce and trust fulness. Her husband during all the years of her continued illness remained true in his devotion to her, and endeavored, as far us possible, to relieve her intense suffering. She was most affectionate and thoughtful in her home life. Perhaps no wife or mother ever loved husband snd children more and during all of her sickness she was constantly bestowing her love and affections upon them. She was indeed proud of her husband aud children and had the fullest measurq of their love and esteem. She has preceded us, but we are re minded that w£ too must travel the same road; whether at some early date or in the distant future; may we have so lived that it may be said of us, as it can be truly said of her, that she was a noble, true, and consecrated Christian; that the world is better on account of her life; that she contribut ed some to the sum total of human goodness and made many happier. We all loved her in life, and we shall continue to cherish her sainted memo ry, and trust that in the future we will meet and live together again, lt-pd. W. B. M. CITY TAX NOTICE.
