We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Here’s an Ad that “Knocked Them Gold” you that have suffered— YOU that have suffered for years—a thousand. YOU that have embittered the earth with your tears-, YOU that have wept by the wailing walls of Jerusalem; and the cruel nations of the earth have made you take these walls with you wher¬ ever you journey, so that your bitter tears have watered the lands of the world, from east to west. YOU that have found in the land of AMERICA at least a better shelter than in any other land, not perfect; no, not perfect, but at least better than before. Come and see how this country that has given you shelter was made. See how it, with its precious freedom, was gained through tears and sacrifice and sorrow. Come, for you will find there laughter, tremendous thrills, and you will see the great sacrifices of the first Americans, their sorrows and triumphs, and you will see how they wailed by their walls of mourning at Val¬ ley Forge, Lexington and Bunker Hill, and how they, the first Ameri¬ cans, arose to the tremendous heights that you have arisen to. The country they made, they made for all. This country is now yours as well as theirs. You must help to keep it that the lights of freedom may not die out. Help to keep this land of America free from intolerance, from hatred; a refuge for all the oppressed for ever and ever; your land, the land of all people: AMERICA! AMERICA! AMERICA! All this you will see, all this you will feel as truth in D. W. Griffith’s play of that name ‘AMERICA” now showing at the Forty-Fourth Street Theatre. Matinees: 500 seats at 50c., best seats, $1.00. Evenings: 50c, $1.00 and $1.50. Says astute Mr. Martin, Critic of the World: “Finest play ever made.” Says Miss Harriette Underhill of the Tribune: “The finest story ever screened.” Says Mr. Colgate Baker: “Easily the screen’s greatest achievement.”
