FERRIS ASSAILS “BIRTH
OF A NATION.”
Lansing Mich., Feb. 10.—“It was
the most damnable thing I ever wit
nessed, and not for $50 would I again
sit for three hours and watch such
scenes,” declared Gov. Woodbridge N.
Ferris, in discussing the motion pic
ture play, “The Birth of a Nation.”
“If it were in my power I would
issue an order today not to allow the
picture to again be shown in our state.
It recalls to mind things that are past
and gone, greatly overplays them and
does no good, but plenty of harm.
Words cannot express the contempt I
feel for the entire matter.
“Any effort to revive the awful
scenes of the civil war and
the reconstruction period after
the manner of “The Birth of a
Nation” must prove harmful to
the American people. ‘The Birth of
a Nation’ is not only a positive insult
to the colored people; it is an insult
to the intelligence of the white race.
Would that Dante could reappear on
earth long enough to see ‘The Birth
of a Nation,’ he would tender his apol
ogies to film makers of 1916.
“With the exception of the culmina
tion of the play, the majority of the
scenes arouse anger, revenge, horror
and hate. Is it possible that the
American people hanker for this sort
of thing? Human beings do not grow
sweeter and better because they em
ploy every possible opportunity for
rehashing the past—for recalling
quarrels and conflicts of days gone by.
“ ‘The Birth of a Nation’ does not
symbolize peace; it symbolizes hell.”
Perry, in the Detroit News.
