Face to Face With David Wark Griffith Moving Picture Director By Joe Mitchell Chapple Pictures may come and pictures may go, but the movie fans recognize David Wark Griffith as the early master of art. As the grandson of the late Brig. General Jacob Wark Griffith, of the Confederate Army, he undertook the pictu fixation of "The Birth of a Nation." which he considers his greatest picture. Griffith in always Griffith. In a picture he never stops at anything to secure the best results. Whether at his studio at Mamaroneck. New York, or far afield in California, Griffith works with the same objective intensity. He has developed more picture stars than any other one director. If Griffith had his way about it. he would never appear in public, for he has the genuine virtue of modesty. A man of medium size, slender, he has the look of the thinker in his blue eyes. Going back and forth from New York in his automobile, he is always reading manuscripts. There is not a scene or an act that he does not go over carefully, even to the waving of the hand in bidding a good-bye, the expression of the face.] first one side and then the other, to! express the various emotions. Strange ' to say, he has troubles. ‘Love scenes are the most difficult ■■ to portray. There seems but one way. according to traditions, but L people are always demanding something new." Whether in grim tragedy or the glow of humor. Griffith is at home Whether putting his heroine across the ice fields, as in ‘"Way Down East." or basking in the exotic itmosphere of ‘The Idol Dance,” it is all the same to Griffith. It is reduced to the fundamental proposition of the picture. In conversation he has the tone of; voice that suggests his actor days, ife understands the great purpose of

Thanksgiving Day originated in 1621 ami was a service of those sturdy pioneers who had crossed the ocean to find peace in the western wilderness and who all .day long thanked God for His protection from enemies of the then new country and for the blessings shown in the harvest of their crops. If those splendid, simple people could find things to return thunks for. how easy it should be for us to do so. We do not appreciate all the wonderful things that have come to us. Lets be grateful and lets pray that they may continue and that we may have the good judgment and the courage to do those things which will assure even better for those to come after Ws. ißig Features Os ( RADIO Programs Today J WEDNESDAY’S RADIO PROGRAM (Copyright 1924 by United Press) , European stations 11 to midnight (E S.

Ju > J DAVID WARK GRIFFITH says: "In pictures as in everything else, the supreme gratification is to be understood.” 1

, pictures and into each one that he makes he puts all of his directing genius. “Pictures endure longer than the flicker of a night's entertainment. It Is sad to contemplate the time ami money that ary lavished upon a few feet of film that seem to pass like a lightning flash. There is somewhere and somehow an element of permanence in motion pictures. The leaves of the histories turn yellow with agt and they are smothered in the oblivion of libraries, but it we can make a series of historical pictures we will not have to coax students into the class rooms. 1 have great faith in the ultimate value of pictures in every phase of educational dei velopment.” Leaning back in his chair and elos ing his eyes a moment, he continued: I "No picture' can stand out in my ! mind, There is a scene here and au > action there that come to me as the i mood suggets. In pictures as in I everything else the one supreme s gratification is to be understood." Some of Griffith's best known pictures are: "Birth of a Nation." ‘'lntolerance.’' “ 'Way Down East.’’ "Broken Blossoms." and "Orphans of the Storm." If you are a movie fan at til. yo uwill be sure to number a Griffith picture among the favorites at all. you will be sure to number a pictures is the quality of memory that lingers long in the mind, even after the days of the picture have passed.
