In vgriting and staging “The Fall of a Nation” Thomas Dixon has
kep}; p.articul.a.rly in view the world struggle between democracy and im
perialism as it affects the United States. After a prologue exemplifying
the forel_gn immigrants’ debt of gratitude to the Union, the play proper
opens with the scenes of the Kaiser's subjects plotting with a New
York ba.nke.r against the life of the republic. John Vassar's national de
fense bill is defeated in congress. Virginia Holland, though admiring
his pluck, spurns his principles and encourages the Kaiser's representa
tive, Char[es Waldron, who professes to be the friend of peace.
Practically without warning the storm breaks over New York when
20,000 Germans of military training rise at Waldron’s signal, capture
the national guard armories overnight, and train the big guns on New
York’_s unarmed citizenry. A wild exodus ensues to Long Island where an
American army is hastily raised. But while this is taking place the power
ful fleet of the German Kaiser has met and defeated the Atlantic squad
ron. The convoyed German army, 150,000 strong, effects a landing and
in a three-day battle routs the Americans utterly.
Waldron puts on regal uniform and is hailed Emporer of the “Prov
inces of North America.” The well-populated part of the country is cap
tured by the invading Germans. Vassar is a fugitive in the West. Wal
dron sends forth Virginia on the mission of enrolling her American sis
ters in the “Woman’s Imperial Legion of Honor.” ’
The final scenes of the play show Virginia as of the stuff of Joan of
Arc. Professing to fulfill the Emperor's mission, she organizes a gigantic
counter-plot to free the enslaved union. Allied with John Vassar, General
Hood and the other American leaders she atones for her former folly
of risking her life and honor for the cause of fredom. Here are shown
scenes like the Sicilian Vespers, where an entire population rises to ex
terminate the forces of the German Kaiser. Conspicuous in the dreadful
vet glorious day are the Daughters of Jael, an oath-bound band of wo
men patriots.
The story as a whole brings in many extraordinary types of the poly
glot nationalities of which America is composed. Besides the big army
of supernumeraries a very large cast of principals was employed, some
of the more important being Arthur Shirley, Lorraine Huling, Percy
Standing, C. E. Geldert, Philip Gastrock, Paul Willis, Flora MacDonald,
Leila Frost, Edna Mae Wilson, Mildred Bracken, Clarence G. Barr, May
Giroci, Beulah Burns. Dawson, July 4th.—adv.
