Such a picture was the fam- ' ous Griffiths epic. “The Birth of a ■ Nation.” Another was “Over the , Hill.” Since the advent of talking pictures, there has probably been no audible movie to merit this public admiration, but the current attraction at botli the Crystal Palace Theatre. Mount Eden, and the Empress Theatre, Newton. “Her Unborn Child,” should be Rightfully placed in this select category.
