Mr. Griffith thinks this is a Real Ad to get Business D. W. Griffith’s “America,” a romantic story after the style of Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe. The story of the sacrifice made by our forefathers during the Revolution is romantic, inspiring and thrilling beyond description. Through this story is interwoven a beautiful romance, Harriette Under¬ hill in the Tribune says “a great love story.” It is also absolutely correct historically. SEE the beginnings and causes that made necessary a great sacrifice! SEE the gorgeous scenes in the Court of King George Ill! SEE the old house of Burgesses in Virginia, where sat Washington, Patrick Henry and Jefferson, the founders of our Republic! SEE the magnificent ride of Paul Revere, said by New York Herald to be the most thrilling scene ever filmed! SEE the gathering of the American patriots at Lexington and Concord. 77 Americans standing against 800 British Regulars at Lexington. SEE the magnificent Valley Forge! SEE the surrender of Cornwallis, and the inauguration of the first Presi¬ dent of the United States! SEE the assault on Fort Sacrifice and the rescue of the Americans by Washington’s favorite unit, the “Liberty or Death” brigade of Morgan’s Rifles. By our arrangements with Messrs. Shubert this picture cannot be shown in any other New York Theatre this season. Now at the 44th Street Theatre Twice Daily, 2:20 and 8:20.
