THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS, MAY 3, 1917,
FACTS ABOUT THE
BIRTH OF A NATION.
Gigantic spectacle to be played at
the Opera House, Cartersville, May
1 and 5.
Premier performance March 3, 1915,
at the Liberty Theatre, N T ew York.
Some of the subsequent productions
were: Tremont Theatre, Boston, Mass.,
beginning April 10; Illinois Theatre,
Chicago, 111., starting June 5; Brigh
ton Beach Music Hall, New York, July
3;. Nixon Theatre, Atlantic City, N. J.,
July 18. All these were long runs of
many months, the five separate com
panies aggregating a total attendance
of 50,000 patrons weekly. Never before
bas a play run half a year simultan
eously in so many cities, Including also
seventeen weeks in Los Angeles and
eighteen weeks in San Francisco.
Produced by David W. Griffith, the
foremost of directors and pioneer of
the new art. Suggested by Thomas
Dixon’s novel, “The Clansman.”
The play contains 5,000 scenes; pre
sents 18,000 actors and 3,000 horses;
cost 1500,000 for actual production ex
pense, and took eight months to pro
duce. Story divided in two acts. Total
time of performance, 2 hours and 40
minutes.
Some of the greatest battles of the
Civil War re-enacted. A reproduction
of Atlanta as it was in 1864, built up
to be destroyed by lire, in the picture
of Sherman’s march to the sea. Dee
and Grant shown at Appomattox;
Ford’s Theatre, Washington, repro
duced to the smallest details for the
Lincoln tragedy. Reconstruction pic
torialized in the actual South Carolina
scenes, climaxing with a series of
wild Ku Klux Klan rides that com
mandeered a county for a day and
cost SIO,OOO.
Women’s dresses used 12,000 yards
and Ku Iviux Klan costumes 25,000
yards of cloth.
Night photography of battle scenes
invented and perfected at a cost of
$5,000.
Wonderful artillery duels in which
reals shells —costing SBO apiece were
used. Miles of trenches —thousands of
Confederate and Federal fighters—
“war as it actually is.”
First time in the history of theatri
cals for a motion picture to be handled
and presented as a regular attraction.
It requires two sixty foot cars to trans
port the equipment. A regular travel
ling organization of 50 people, with Its
own stage director, crew, musicians,
operators and mechanical experts to
readjust the theatres to scientific focal
requirements.
Not depending on the local musi
cians, a complete symphonic orches
tra is carried. The musical score is
synchronized to the several thousand
distinct and individual scenes.
The spectacle has met strong oppo
sition at various times but has been
approved by every board of censors
with one exception in the United
States and by scopes of the most emi
nent United States senators and rep
resentatives, governors of states,
judges, publicists, diplomats, educa
tors and clergymen. It has been view
ed and commended by a larger num
ber of priests and ministers than had
ever previously approved a theatric
entertainment.
Receipts and attendance have like
wise made anew page of theatrical
history. Within the first eight months
the gross attendance was approxi
mately 1,500,000. Receipts have dwarf
ed those of “Ben Hur” and every other
great spectacle hitherto presented.
Artistically, “The Birth of a Nation"
combines exquisite domestic comedy
and .romance with the grandeur and
thrill of history’s greatest moments,
inculcating the lesson of patriotism
that springs from the “nation re-horn"
as the result of war between the
states and reconstruction
A CHILD GETS CROSS,
SICK AND FEVERISH
WHEN CONSTIPATED
Look, Mother! If Tongue is Coated
Clean Little Liver and
Bowels.
If your little one’s tongue is coated,
it is a sure sign the stomach, liver and
bowels need a gentle, thorough cleans
ing at once. When your child is cross,
peevish, listless, pale, doesn’t sleep,
eat or act naturally; if breath is nad,
stomach sour, system full of cold,
throat sore, or if feverish, give a tea
spoonful of “California Syrup of Figs,
and in a few hours all the clogged-up,
constipated waste, sour bfle and undi
gested food will gently move out oi
the bowels, and you have a well, play
ful child again.
Sick children needn’t be coaxed to
take this harmless “fruit laxati\e.
Millions of mothers keep it handy be
cause they know its action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompf
and sure. They also know a little given
today saves a sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a 60-cent bot,
tie of ‘‘California Syrup of Figs,
which contains directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of
counterfeits sold here. Get the f enu
ir,e made by “California Fig Syrup
Company.”—(advt.)
HOW YOU CAN BEST SERVE
YOUR COUNTRY NOW.
Hie most, valuable service that those
unable to enlist themselves can per
form for their country at the present
time is to get men enlisted in the
Navy. While it is important to get men
for other branches of the service, the
need of the Navy for enlisted men is
immediate. Owing to the shortage of
officers and men of the regular Navy,
if is a physical impossibility for the
Navy to recruit the men needed with
the requisite speed. It is impossible
for the Navy Department to furnish
recruiting literature, posters, pamph
lets, etc., fast enough. It is therefore
necessary that thousands of patriotic
people, both men and women, who
wish to help their country at the pres
ent time, take steps to obtain men for
the Navy,
Doctors can render valuable service
by volunteering to conduct prelimin
ary examinations at the home of the
applicant.
The following plan is suggested for
any given locality:
(1) Form a committee having rep
resentatives from all the towns and
villages in the district selected.
(2) This committee collect funds.
(3) Obtain samples of recruiting
posters, literature, etc., from the near
est recruiting office and have these i
printed.
(4) Obtain automobiles and enough I
persons to form recruiting parties, in- i
eluding women, the automobiles to be i
used to hunt recruits and transport j
them to the doctors to be examined, j
(Doctors will be furnished pamphlets j
showing physical requirements for re
cruits of the Navy.)
(5) Send applicants passing the
physical examination to the nearest
Navy Recruiting Station. Provision
should be made for return of applicant
to his home in case he does not pass
examination at recruiting station.
(6) It is suggested that committee
include postmaster, principals and
teachers of high schools, Y. M. C. A.
representatives and doctors.
(7) An applicant between 17 and
18 should procure an affidavit from his
parents or guardian, consenting to his
enlisting in the Navy to serve until 21,
and stating the date and place of
birth. An applicant over eighteen
should present evidence of the place
and date of his birth.
Georgia and Florida are asked to
furnish 600 men at once to fill the
quota asked for by the president. Ev
eryone should begin recruiting for the
