Intolerance
0, W. Griffith's "Intolerance," itis
first and only production since "The
Birth of A Nation," was the attraction
at the Town Hall Saturday evening to
a large audience. in this stupendous
spectacle Griffith shows four pre-
scient periods of the world's his-
tory, As in a vision one looks back
into the far distant past and sees Bel-
shazzar in Babylon, the magnificient.
In another a powerful, thrilling story'
of modern life is realistically shown.
Again one turns back the hands of
time to the middle ages when Hugue-
nots of Paris were being massacred by
thousands. These swift changing
scenes keep the interest of the spec-
tator keyed to the highest tension,
In every respeect, "lirtolerence" is
absolutely different from anything
ever shown before on the stage or the
screen.
