BIRTH OF A NATION.
After a year's successful running in
Northern theatres, “The Birth of a
Nation.” the greatest film production in
' the moving picture world, is billed for
1 Southern theatres, and more particu
> larly for Atlanta, some time during the
t month of December.
But as usual, a hue and cry has
, been raised. The following item is
• clipped from the Atlanta correspond
’ ence of the Athens Banner:
“Protest has been filed with Mayor
Jim Woodward aaginst the picture
, film, “Birth of a Nation,” by a dele
gation representing the ministers of
Atlanta, and the city is asked to put
■ a ban on the picture. The complain
ing delegation is composed of Dr. Dun
bar H. Ogden. Presbyterian; Dr. C. B.
Wilmer, Episcopal, and Mr. John J.
Egan. The mayor has the complaint
under consideration, and it is said in
city hall circles that he may issue an
order to the police tomorrow direct
ing that they present the film being
displayed in Atlanta. It has already
been booked here.
“The production is on the order of
the more or less famous “New Gov
ernor” or “Nigger,” which w r as made
in Augusta, and which created such a
furore there when its nature was dis
covered. Mayor Haynes prevented the
display of that picture in Augusta.”
The prominent Atlanta citizens have
protested against the showing of this
picture.
For what? —the news item does not
state.
Surely, it must be thorough ignor
ance of the picture itself, and the
great thought and moral it teaches.
“The Birth of a Nation” is no incen
diary, fire-eating spectacle. It does
not carry with it the influences of a
Jeffries-Johnson fight.
For over six months this picture had
a successful run in the Liberty
theatre, of New York city.
Crow'ds made it necessary to pur
chase choice seats weeks in advance.
And ’ere the first part of the film had
been spread upon the screens the
orchestra bursts forth with the strains
of “Dixie” and a tumultuous round
of applause greeted the Stars and
Bars as they w’ere unfurled before the
eager audiences.
There is nothing sectional in the
picture. Sons of the North and sons
of the South can join hands in the ’
hearteous feeling of love and good
fellowship as they see this picture.
“The Birth of a Nation” teaches
what is necessary to be taught, and i
possibly it can do its greatest good
right in the city of Atlanta, which has
been torn asunder for over two years
with sectional and city srife, and 1
made itself mocker of the world.
It is impossible to forecast what
Mayor Woodward will do with the pro
tests of these Atlanta citizens, as his
acts are not guided by any intelligent
reasoning. Only lately, he burst forth
in a fit of spasm concerning a late in
cident in Georgia, and has added fire
to the flames which are attempting to |
be made a part and parcel of a good
state.
As a mere suggestion, these same
gentlemen had best cleanse Atlanta of
her actual shame before they attempt
t 0 bar the artificial sights in life.
A little less hurrah, and far more
actual good citizenship would do more
for Georgia than “protests” and accla
mations of modern saviors.
CITY OF ’THE DEAD.
Take a walk through the cemetery
alone and you will pass the resting
place of a man who looked into the
muzzle of a gun to see if it was load
ed. A little further down the slope is
a crank who tried to show how' close '
he could stand to a moving train while
it passed. In strolling about you wi’l
. see the monument of the hired girl
. who tried to start the fire with kero- I
sene, and a grass-covered knoll that :
covers the boy who tickled the mule’s
( tail. That tall shaft over a man who
blew out the gas casts a tall shadow
over a boy who tried to get on a mov
I ing train. Side by side by the pretty
creature who always had her corset
' laced in the last hole and the intelli
gent creature who rode a bicycle nine I
miles in ten minutes sleep unmolested.
At repose is a doctor who took a dose
of his own medicine. There with a
big marble monument over his head is
a rich old man who married a young
wife. Away- over there reposes a boy’
who went fishing on Sunday, and the
woman who kept strychnine in th?
