B I R T H O F A N A T I O N “ The B irth of a N a tio n ,\b r in g in g forward David W . Griffith’s wonder fu l new a r t of pictorialized spectacle with music, w ill play at the Athene- um Theatre, Sag Harbor, May 7th, 1918. It is pleasing to be able to note the fact that a metropolitan production of the finest quality and elaboration w ill be shown here. The first half of the spectacle, which was suggested by Thomas Dix on’s “The Clansm a n,” exhibits the salient events of the war between the states. The form a tion of the Confederacy, Lincoln’s call for troops, Sherman’s march to the sea, the Battle of Petersburg, Lee’s sur render to Grant, and the aw ful trag edy of Lincoln’s assassination at Ford’s Theatre, April 1, 1965, live before the spectator of the Griffith drama. In the second half the south’s “second uprising”— this tim e against the carpetbagger regime— is shown in a thrilling story of recon struction days. The romance of the “ little Confederate Colonel,” Ben Cameron, with the northerner, Elsie Stoneman, and that of the Unionist Captain, Phil Stoneman, with Mar garet Cameron, the South Carolina lassie, m a intain two threads of con tinuous love-interest throughout the story. B u t the great out-of-doors is .Mr., Griffith’s special field. Tremendous battle scenes and the wild rides of the Ku Klux Klan are staged with thousands of participants, eighteen thousand hum a n actors and 3,000 horses were employed in the m a k ing of the picture, which cost half a m il lion dollars and took eight months to produce. Some idea of its immensity is gained from the fact that there are no less than 5,000 distinct and in d i vidual scenes. On the musical side Mr. Griffith attempted what was previously un heard of in connection w ith motion pictures. This was the snychronizing of a complete score with the appear ance of the im p o rtant characters and the enactment of the principal scene. P U B L I C P L E A S E T A K E N O T I C E For the safety of the public, all laws relating to bicycle riding on sidewalks and all traffic laws includ ing the lighting of vehicles and the laws providing for special lenses to prevent glare w ill be strictly enforc ed in East Ham pton Village on and after May 10, 1918.

The committee on education of the* association is sending out to members the follow ing letter: “ Probably you have heard that, due to the efforts of this association and others, the town unit school law has been repealed. This w ill save you a great deal of money, but there rem ain two bills providing for the refunding or crediting of the excess of last year’s school tax, which bills, although passed by the Legislature prior to its adjournm e n t, are still aw a iting the Governor’s signature. These bills are Senator George L. Thompson’s Senate In t. 356 and 357, am e n d ing the education law to pro- vidfe fo r the assessment and collec tion of school taxes in Suffolk Coun ty along w ith town taxes, and also as above stated, adjusting the unlaw fu l levies of 1917 school u n it taxes. “ The educational d e p a r t m e n t s op posed to these bills and has caused their reference to the Attorney Gen eral of the State fo r his opinion. We fear that by this device our year’s ef forts to obtain these ju s t measures w ill be lost by the interjection of some m inor technicality. “ The bills are strictly local and any opinion or decision rendered thereon should be by a justice of the Supreme Court sitting in our district and thor oughly conversant with our local con ditions.” In a letter addressed to Governor W h itm a n on behalf of the members, it is stated that the benefits accru ing from these proposed amendments to taxpayers and officials of the coun ty are too im p o r tant to be jeopar dized by rulings made three hundred miles from the districts affected thereby and in the absence of a prop er presentation of facts. ‘‘The amendments before you have been drafted by the experts o f the county who are particularly fam iliar w ith the problems arising out o f the opplication of thousands of subdivid ed tracts of ‘boom lots.’ They fu r nish adequate relief fro m intolerable conditions and have received the u n qualified approval of the State Tax Departm e n t, the C o u n ty Treasurer, the Board o f Supervisors, the Suffolk County Taxpayers’ Association and other civic organizations throughout the county.” !
