"BIRTH OF NATION" AT UNITED THEATER "The Clansman" will open at the United Theatre next Sunday. This production in 12 reels was directed by D. W. Griffith, the world's foremost motion picture producer. It is an adaptation from Thos. Dixon, Jr's popular novel of the same name, and is the costliest motion picture ever produced. "The Clansman" deals with the civil war period. It shows the causes that led up to this conflict and carries the spectator through the war. In "The Clansman" are shown the most marvelous battle scenes that have ever been staged. The siege before Petersburg with thousands of soldiers in action, is realistically shown in the picture. The battle fields were laid out and trenches dug under the direct supervision of seven G. A. R. army veterans who took part in the original conflict. These veterans, two of whom were commissioned officers, remained with Mr. Griffith during the entire period that the scenes were being staged. Artillery duels, in which explosive shells are hurled by both the Northern and Southern troops, from huge mortars, are shown in motion pictures for the first time in "The Clansman". The artillery used is the same that was used during the Civil war and borrowed from the U.S government for the occasion. The explosive blank shells used in the mortars were constructed especially for three big guns by an expert fireworks manufacturer. More than 500 of these shells are used in the battle scenes. They cost thousands of dollars. In directing the battle scenes, Mr. Griffith used field telephones, flag signals, field courier, and even a captive balloon. These methods were not used as part of the army equipment, but were merely used by Mr. Griffith in staging the production. He used the modern war methods to better execute the methods of 1861-65. The artillery duels present one of the most striking features of the picture." Buena Park News BUENA PARK, May 4.—Mrs.N. D.
