Sari at Grand Tonight with Birth of Nation Next
More than 300 violins are ruined each season in Henry W. Savage's Sari at the Grand Opera House. The final performance tonight leads into a one week return of The Birth of a Nation, followed by Lyman Howe's Travel Festival March 19 to 22 with new pictures and a torpedo boat sequence. The Birth of a Nation, based on The Clansman, portrays Reconstruction with vivid battle scenes, battles staged with novel devices, and a romantic thread. The article notes Griffith's pioneering use of telephone control and night filming, plus Leonore Ulrich in a leading role, and ends with a mention of The Road to Mandalay and Hazel Kirke in Park Theater performances.
