Wdlthdll Worked as
Real Ditch Digger
as Well as in
Film Play
By GARDNER MACK

While there has been much said or
the constructive value ( motion
pictures, IL is not generally known
that their constructive value, in the
early days of their growth at least.
was a bit too literal for some of the
actors and actresses to properly APP
preciate. In those days 1t was nee
essary to do many things not now
required to obtain permission TO use
certain desired settings. The MAX
ing of plays was not looked upon
with the favor that it now demands.
1t was not possible for directors
to put members of their companies
to work with regular laborers in the
streets or on the docks or In con-
struction gangs without making ex-
traordinary contracts with the peo-
pie who do that sort Of thing regu-
larly for living to gain the neccs-
sary permission. Even d. w. Grif-
nth was not averse to bargaining in
strange ways with people who had
the locations he wanted to use
for settings for scenes in his early
plays.
iichiy D. "dltndll' the plVScHl
Essanay star. who is most highly
regarded by motion picture patrons
as well as by people who appre-
ciate artistic dramatic work. had a
very distinct reminder of Mr.. Grlf-
fith's possibilities as bargainer on
the first day he appeared in a film
play.
II was an italian laborer In my
first picture" says the Essanay star.
Il didn't know anything about NOV
ing pictures, but | had become con-
vinced that there was a great future
in them, and decided to give them a
try. ID. w. Griffith was my first
director. He told me what | was to
do in the first scene we took.
II was to be digging a ditch when
my little daughter brought my din
ner pail. A tramp was to come along
and, because my daughter begged
me to help the tramp. l shared my
food with him
Mr.. Walthall began making the
picture in deserted ditch. He was
cautioned not to look at the camera,
and when the order was given he
started digging He dug and dug
and kept on digging, until at last he
threw down his shovel. exhausted.
Where is my daughter with my
dinner pail? How much longer do I
have to do this he demanded.
Not much longer" said Griffith.
"Just until you dig along that stone
there. We're not taking the picture
promised the contractor that IL he
would let us use this ditch you
would extend it three feet!''
