ADDY, IT’S OUR MARRIAGE
by Thomas Dixon, “The Birth of a Na-
tion” eclipses the novel as completely
as Dixon’s story surpassed all former
portraits of the South. Griffith’s spec-
tacle is in 5,000 scenes, which flit be-
fore the eyes of the astonished audi-
ence during the period of two hours and
forty-five minutes, to the accompani-
ment of a grand opera score interpreted
by a Symphony Orchestra of thirty
pieces brought flirect from New York.
Among the tremendous scenes shown
are the Battle of Petersburg, fought on
a stage five miles in, extent, and involv-
ing 18,000 men: Sherman’s march to the
sea, with the storming and burning of
Atlanta: the assassination of Lincoln in
the crowded Ford’s Theater; Lee and
Grant at Appomattox; and the wild
rides of the Ku Klux Klans, on their
deeds of vengeance and mercy for the
rescue of the South from terrors worse
than those of war,.

It is related of a rural editor that he
once rereived this question from one of
his readers: A
“What is the matter with my hens?
Every morning 1 find one of them laid
out stiff and cold on the henhouse
floor."
Next day the answer duly appeared in
the query column :

While gathering persimmons on Mus-
ket Ridge one day this week, Slim Pick-
ens fell out of the tree, but tin account
of his weight was not seriously in-,
jured.
The Depity Constable was seen last
night regarding a report that he was
layingxilans for his reelection two years
from now. He was approached on the
subject while eating supper and gave
the rumor so little attention that he
ditl not even look up while being inter-
viewed, carrying on his conversation
through his eye-brows. During the
campaign just closed he was of course
re-elected for the ensuing term and he
is being greatly admired upon the quiet
and shrewd manner in which he put
over his election, he having done all of
his campaigning while in disguise, thus
leaving the,impression in the minds of
the voter* that they were voting for
somebody else.

It has become almost impossible for
young women without previous theat-
rical experience to secure engage-
ments In motion picture productions.
Long lists of experienced theatrical
people are waiting for engagements
and there is little opportunity for the
amateurs to gain a livelihood via mo-
tion picture acting. And some of
theae girls would be sadly disillusion-
ized, too, should they engage in the
art. When your screen favorite ap-
pears in the cozy theatre and the or-
chestra plays and there is applause,
the girls may be pardoned for longing
to become film favorites like the oth-
ers. This is Just one side to the situa-
tion however. The other side is not
so attractive. There is the hard toil
which every movie actress must un-
dergo. Frequently work starts at
7 a. m., and does not finish until late
at night There are no bright lights,
no applause in the actual work of
movie acting. Instead there is the
sometimes gloomy studio, suffocating-
ly hot under the glass roof in the sum-
mer time, often unbearably cold in the
Mg barn-like structure in the winter
time; there is the director who does
not hesitate to reprimand; there are
the scenes to be rehearsed time and
time again until one is exhausted;
there are the hazards which are nec-
essary to undergo in order to provide
the thrills longed for by the audiences
and there is the uncertainty for weeks
□r maybe months whether or not your
part has “gone over.’’

Film critics tell me that my very
best work was tn the part of “Sweet
Alyssum” in the late Charles Major’s
appealing story of the same name, re-
leased as a Selig Red Seal play in five
acts. I am not surprised. The part of
“Sweet Alyssum” is that of an inno-
cent young

eye. And then the stranger comes
into her life. He is handsome—a
school teacher with a past. She loves
the stranger with all her heart and

turns out all right and the real villain
is punished.
I always loved that story and I was
delighted when Director Colin Camp-
bell cast me for the title role. I was
proud, too, to appear in a Selig Red
Seal play in a stock company that in-
cluded such artists as Tyrone Power
and Miss Kathlyn Williams. I really
and truly lost myself in the role, some-
thing that is as possible in motion pic-
ture art as on the legitimate stage.
The big scene where “Sweet Alys-
sum” holds her first-born In the line
of Are from her father’s rifle in order
to save the life of her young husband,
was rehearsed again and again before
it was satisfactory and I am told the
rehearsing was worth while for the
scene has been pronounced one of the
moat Intense in motion pictures.
There is another scene that I just
know would be praised. That acene is
where Roanoke Brooks confronts his
wife with the hidden finery. It should
be remembered by motion picture lov-
ers that “Sweet Alyssum” Is the first
Selig play in which Tyrone Power and
Miss Kathlyn Williams appear. How
could the scene be otherwise than
tense with those two great stars play-
ing opposite to each other? It is ac-

Friday and Saturday, have been sched-

crowds, which doubtless will pour into
the Byers Opera House' as they have
done into the theaters of Dallas, Hous-
ton, San Antonio and other Texas cities
within the past few weeks. In all of
these cities even the extra matinees
could not accommodate all who wished
to buy tickets for the spectacle and
persons living in the vicinity of Fort

the Byers box office at the earliest pos-

Texas city booked to play “The Birth

the spectacle goes North, the next en-
gagement being scheduled for Oklahoma
