tili; liumi or a nation. There Is manifest.! a Kreut de-al of Interest in tho enafvnnl of 'The Uirth of a Nation" v. hlch coma to the Oliver for ono week sUn-tin.; Mornlay ovoniii. Nov. 20. Thin will lo the first time this sreat Fjx:t.ich' haa lecn presented in lnlliLna. and it will al5u be the last time to bo shown in this community. The manatmtnt of the enterprise has announced upon various occasions that it will not to the policy to present the play on more than ono visit to any of tho cities. Thero aro some four or jive companies offering the spectacle in various sections of the United states and Ir. time all of theso companies will have placed it beforo the theater groers of every' community. It la estimatc-d that It will probably consumo a yuu or a year and a half with tho preent number of companies that are on tour to visit all of the larger centers of population where there aro people deairoiLs of soe-lnff this unusual and much talked about historic drama. Tre historical feature of the production provides many of its most interesting Lcenea. although the lovo romances between younir men and youn? women of tho north and south are dominant factors in the presentation. It Is the aim of the management to give to the play all the possible rerJlzation that ingenuity is capable of brinsln forth. This Is so well done that on sedng it one can hardly believe that It Is not an act of real llf, so distinctly are the representations of events that have taken place in years &one by. The musical feature must not to overlooked. Tho realism is greatly augmented by the presence of a large orchestra which provides srtlrring music at all times in keeping with scenea as they aro rapidly unrolled before tho eye. Tho Indications are that "The Uirth of a Nation" will be slven larger patronage- than any attraction which lias ever come here, much larger than Ben Hur, which in Its day was a record breaker for larfco takings at the box offices.

at Tin: oliv. The Price" was presented by the Oliver players yesterday afternoon and night and proved to be one of the best liked plays the company has presented here. The play was written Ly (ieorgro Broadhurst, considered by Korne people to be the leading American playwright, having written Buch successes as "Bought and Paid For," and "Tho Man of tho Hour." The company f?ave a well defined and clear cut performance in every particular and they all deserve mention for their meritorius work. Thero will be a popular priced matinee tomorrow. This is the last play the Olivers will -present here for two weeks for after 'NVedüesday nisht they will be absent es Trial" and "The Birth of a Naiicn" w!l be the attractions, but tht iock wlil return for the balanco ol winter on Dec. 10. when they wii; make a sumptuous production of AVillard Mack's celebrated play "Kick In." This play was a bitf success in Chicago tho fore part of the season vlth Richard Bennett in the leading role.

AT TirE AUDITORIUM. "The Diamond From the frSky," the sensational serial picture which has been running- at the Auditorium for a long- time, is drawintf'to a close and will be. concluded next week. It is on today's bill as usual with "Lindin tho Hose Reel," a two part Selis comedy, and "Waifs of the Sea," an Edison "drama. Tomorrow's feature is "The Ivory Snuff Box." Rolbrook Bllnn. makes his second appearance In motion pictures in "The Ivory Snuffbox." The part which Mr. lUinn undertakes in the offering is that of an American detective in the employ of the French overnmen On his wedding day he Is ordered to trace tho thief of an Ivory snuff box. which has been lost by the French ambassador. Richard Duvall (that is the" name of the detective) starts off In quest of the snuff box. which is not recovered until after an amazingly exciting scries of adventures on land find shipboard. In a sanitarium. Duvall meets his wife, who has been decoyed there, and the two onl escape after considerable peril and suffering. The restoralioa o.r th- snuff box enable Iuvall and Iiis bride J.j continue their honeymoon. A two part Vitara ph comedy entitled Tne Sultan of Zulon" vitl JIuj;hIo Mack and Dorothy Kelly will nlso be shown tomorrow.

v "ON TRIAL' The outstanding: uwooss of the past theatrical season in New York was "On Trial," a melo ii'ima that has been called by many erudite critics the best American play in a decade. "On Trial" is from tho pm of Himer 1. Reizenstein a youn? mm heretofore unknown in the field of pi ywric;hts, nevertheless his first effort turned cvut to b a tremendous triumph and has placed its author ir the front ranks of contemporary wi iters. "On Trial" is entirely worthy of the attention it is attratinp:, If for no other reason than that it tells a rational yet thrilling life story that is worked out without the usual illusions f stae craft. Then too, a novelty is fousd in the author's mode of presentation. He h written his play hackward so to speak, and in doing so has been accused of taking his idea from the movies. Ho that as it may. "On Trial" is the most talked about play in years and Manager rickering'.? announcement that it will be presented the Oliver for four days starting Thanksgiving d;y h.-u been received with undisguised pleasure by his patrons. The Jale of seats opens this mornln:.

AT Till OKPHi:rM. A strong well Uilanced program headed by On Hornbrook's wild w est t-how is playing at the Orpheum the lore part of this week. A cycling act. Map stick comedy feature, a Japantsc ringing and dancing number, and a i lever song and dance sketch compiise the remainder of the bill. Hornbeck's wild west act is a good exhibition of lariat throwing, raney ildinsc with more than an occasional laugh thrown in for good measure. The Cycling McNutts have a rapid lire number in which there is something Ooing every minute. Charles Johnson and Carita Pay In Thv Ilutler and the iraid" srored exceptionally well with their eccentric dancing and catchy songs. The Japanese number wa a. relief from tri o rdlnnry sketch which usually composes the midtlie of the Or;htum bill. Mine, fumlko has a clear thouxh not strong voice and the Japnr Kirls who assist lier are dainty and vivacious. Mason & Mtirray in ' Getting I lis (Joat," appealed stronply to tho who like the ?!ap stick ort of stuff. Their line wa bre:y and different from tho usual sort of "variety" act.

IK AN AGONY OF SUSPENSE THE ACCUSED AWAITS HIS FATE.

NO game of chance ever Invented Is as illusive as the theatrical business. Fortunes are won on discards and lost on sure things. What Is it, then, that aiakes for success in play writing? Elmer L. Reizenstein supplies the answer In his "On Trial," shortly to he seen here under tin direction of Cohan & Harris. In It the traditions of the theater are violated, not once, but many times, jet In twenty-five years the American stage has not known a greater success.

"On Trial" wins by its very daring. It is a novelty, and its newness and freshness immediately stamped its author a genius whose first effort at play

building succeeded, while those of older and more experienced men received but scant recognition. It Is Inevitable then that "On Trial"

will have many imitators, but if their efforts are presented with the cleverness of Mr. lteizenstein's work, which leaves nothing to the imagination, the American dramatists will rise several rilngs on the ladder that spells success in the playwriting game.
