Dav i<l VV. Griffith’s epoch-making
spectacle. The Birth- of a Nation," a
United Artists release, following its
record-breaking return to New York-
will tie seen in one of Its original
productions at the Grand Theatre on
May 7 ami 8.
This work from the nature of the
new art it established has excited
keener curiosity than any other offer-
ing of a decade and after being away
for several years it was recently pre-
sented for a special engagement at
the enormous Capitol Theatre and
played to voer 150.000 people in two
weeks.
"The Birth of a Nation" tells by
film and music the story of a nation
re-botn through the storm and stress
of internecine setrime. Instead of the
four to six scenes or th econventlonal
plays, its technique permits of filming
literally thousands of scenes and cov-
i ering a wide range of history and
i characters. Slavery, the primal cause
] of the War; Lincoln's call for troops
j to subdue the Southern States: the

arms;

man's march and the awful ordeal of

(Literary Digest)
There have been material changes
in the relative importance of South-
ern States as cotton producers, ac-
cording to an analysis by the Liberty
Central Trust Company, st. Louis,
bared on the Census Bureau's final
figures for the 1922 crop, recently
made public. The small total for
last year is due more titan anything
else to greatly reduced yields in
South Carolina, Georgia and Oklaho-
ma, where the boll weevil's activity
was at its height. These three states
produced about 2,500,000 bales less
cotton In 1922 than in 1920. In most
states, last season’s results were
quite satisfactory. We read further
In its Monthly Business Review:
“There were 795 counties which
grew cotton in sufficient quantity to
Justify separate returns by the Cen-
sus Bureau. In 421 the crop was
equal to, or greater than, the average
for the three years previous. In 226.
or about one-third of the total, last
season's yield was larger than In
any one of the years 1919, 1920 and
1921. In other words, these 226
counties are tending to increase
their production, by greater acreage,
better growing methods, or. in a few
cases, better luck.
“There are nine fairly well-defined
areas in which cotton totals appear
Ao lie on the upturn, as follows:
"1. Northwestern Texas.
"2. The lower Rio Grande valley
Texas.
'“I. East Texas and
Louisiana (scattered).
Southeastern Missouri, noth-

"6. Eastern Mississippi, all of

bama. and southwestern Georgia

Carolina, and Virginia
"District 1, 4 and 9 have not yet
been visited by the boll weevil in full
force, and increases, particularly in
the first two, are due largely to
greater acreage.

heroine.
Mr. Griffith took most of the scenes
in the great out-of-doors, where Na-
ture painted the backgrounds and
army men directed the battle cam-
paigns. The notable indoor scenes,
like Ford's theatre on the night of
tlie Lincoln tragedy ,the peace at Ap-
pomattox, and tlie South Carolina leg-
islature of 1870, are exact fac-simlles
of the originals. Altogether, it is the
first time in art-production that His-
tory in the large has been presented
in living pictures. To do this many
times tlie amount of the time, energy
and expense usually devoted to
amusement- enterprises had to be
used. Eighteen thousand people and
3,000 horses appear in the picture,
which cost approximately $500,000 to
produce.
Of equal importance to the scenes
is the music that interrpets them. It
consists of an elaborate symphonic, <seal)
score arranged after Griffith sugges- ‘ ‘ '
tions of the musical motifs for the!
leading characters. Now grave, now
gay; now sounding the loud diapason
of war, again sweetly harmonizing
love's sighs and rhapsodies; anon
bringing back the old plantation tnel-j
odies, or the crash oof riot, and rapine.; none:
or tlie welcome Ku Klux Klan call!
that fell so gratefully on the ear of
Southern whites sorely oppressed by
the "servants in the Master's hall”—
It fits tlie changing scenes of the
story like a flowing, beautiful gar-
ment. The marriage of this music to
the film best of all entitled the pro-
ducer to his well-earned laurels of
having created a new art.
Among the principals in the cast
are Henry B. Walthall .the distin-
guished Alabama actor whose family
is historically connected with the
story, in the role of the Clansman:
Lillian Gish as Elsie Stoneman; Mae
Marsh and Miriam Ccwper as Flora
and Margaret; Ralph lAtwis as Con-
gressman Stoneman; Joseph Hena-
bery. Howard Gaye and Donald Crips
as Lincoln. Lee and Grant, respect-
ively; George Seigmann as the mu-
latto Lieutenant-Colonel of South

grade negro, Gus; Raoul Walsh as

boll weevil for some time. The sixth
district is particular! yworthy o"
study; it is unbroken, and very large
in extent, and comprises counties,
many uf which have suffered to the
fullest from the pest. That there has
been steady recovery seems evident,
and gradual increases in production
are likely in the future, though the
high records of the past may never
be attained. It is interesting to note
that in Georgia the leading cotton
county, Sumter, Is in the southwest,
where a few years ago weevil dam- Northern girl. Elsie Stoneman. as the

Sumter County ranked 41st

held its own, while the more import-
ant sections to tlie north have lost
heavily from the

Georgia and South Carolina will even-

“The leading cotton county in 1922
was Bolivar, in Mississippi, with a
production of 97.684 bales. Missis-
sippi, in Arkansas, is second, with
Sunflower, Mississippi, third,
85.434; Williamson, Texas,
fourth, with 83.314, and Ellis. Texas,
fifth, with 82,210.
"Among the largest cotton States,
Alabama has 41 counties out of 66 in
which the 192 2crop was greater than
that for 1919, 1920 or 1921; North
Carolina, 35 out of 65. Mississippi,
37 out of 74. South Carolina, on the
other hand, has no such counties;
Oklahoma, only three, all small pro-
