Five Performances of $2,000,000 Picture Are To
Be Giiven Daily—Symphony Orchestra En
gaged for All Showings.
“Intolerance,” which will be the of
fering all this week at the Criterion
Theater, {s to the screen what the
tour-rint circus is to the other part
f the amusement world, It is the
most gigantic plcture that was ever
made, and D. W. Grifith, the pro
duger, who also filmed ‘““The Birth of
a Nation,” expended a fund of $2,000,-
000 in the making of this stupendous
spectacle. ;
In order td give merely eh‘ faint {dea
of the enormous elaboratehess of “In
tolerance” one would have to be
stocked with adjectives far in excess
of the supply possessed by the late
lamented Tody Hamilton, king of
press agents.
The last time “Intolerance” was
shown here was at the Atlanta The
ater, where a $2 price prevailed. Dur
ing the Criterion Theater engagement
the admission will be 256 centa—the
first instance when the picture has
been displayed at bargain prices.
Beginning Monday, there will be
five showings of the picture daily—
-10:46 a. m, 1:15, 8:45, 6:16 and
8:20 p. m. Tickets will be sold to
each performance, but there will be
no reserved seats. A special sym
ptony orchestra will furnish a musi
cal program at each showing.
Szeirg “Intolerance” is like living
four lives in one. This thrilling drama
tears tie vell from the past and un
‘leashes the imagination to run ram
pant down the ages in the most ro
mantic perfods of history, To tell
of all the wonders of what has been.
called “the greatest show in the
world” is an impossibility in a Ymited
amount of space.
In place of one love story, “Intol
erance” has three; in place of one set
of characters this fourfold drama of
darirg surprises has four. The prin
