David W. Grifith's most extraordi-

tory live. He has touched the high
peaks of American history-the intro
AUCTION of slavery, the war of seces-
Bion, the surrender at Appomatox,
the death Of LIEe oln, the miseries of
reconstruction and the restoration of
the south to its own. These things.

were beyond the motion picture
ramera. The master producer had
the faith Of an enthusiast. Within

national upgrowth with real and
human love story based on Thomas
