PATIENCE MADE
GRIFFITH film
Birth of a Nation" Produced
Only After Many Trials,
Setbacks and Woes.
10000 MEN IN THE SCENE
Vast Army Had to Be Trained and
the Screen Battles Snapped
and Resnapped.

Producing drama upon a military scala
is almost as difficult as moving an
army corps. D. W. Griffith found this
out when he went afieId to assemble
the forces which are so faithfully de-
picted in his great spectacle The Birth
OF Nation" now at the National
Theater
Sanitary requirements comnissarv de-
tails. trench building, and all the neces-
sary details which are the essentials
OF a Well-ordered camp had TO be looked
after before he could get his forces in
line TO attack his camera. Then also
there were delays by sickness and de-
sertion and the usual mistakes had to
be met and overcome.
As illustrative of this there is one scene
in The Birth OF a Nation" which &C.
cupies about ten minutes OF the emit re
action. For that scene Griffith en-
ployed 10000 men. He had a regular
commissary department equipped to feed
this big force twice daily. Rehearsals
and the actual taking of the scene re-
quired about three weeks of time. For
his efforts Griffith and his mechanical
assistants had invented giant explosives
which gave the impression OF actual war
fare-minus the death-dealing power of
the regular shells.
Fled From Explosives.
Out Of his 10000 rockies there were many
who did not know the bombs were prac-
tcally harmless and when the men went
into these mimic battles about the same
percentage of scared victims stampeded
as Is found in military experiences when
raw soldiers first face the roar of can
mons. In this instance the assertions
ruined several days work and it had to
be done over again by the men who
were not gun shy"
One of the keys to Grifrith's success
is his infinite patience, and as he was
partly prepared for this he took his
medicine and continued to dig in for what
he wanted. He got It in the end, but
not until he had been compelled to waste
thousands OF feet of film and had taken
nearly twice the time he had originally
scheduled for these effects.

Attorney A. z. L. LeCkie Of 1885 Har-

Mexican train held up and robbed near
Gonzales last week, arrived home yester-
day, accompanied by Attorney Charles A.
Douglas, counsel for the Carranza govern
ment. and Attorney Ramon Solorzano.
Mr.. Leckie gave a graphic description Of
the hold-up last evening. his story being
the first detailed account OF the wreck
and robbery given in the Capital. Here
it is:
We left Mexico City in the afternoon
at o'clock in CarranEa's oficial car, at
tached to a train on the Mexican Ma
tonal Railway. AT 2:3O o'clock in the
morning, five miles out OF Gonzales, the
band Of highwaymen caused our train
to be ditched by prying loose some rails
from the track. The engine, some box
cars behind II, and one Of the passenger
coaches were derailed. the engineer. fire.

were killed and the remainder Of US were

where we were for a minute.
Immediately thereafter, the robbers
appeared in the passenger coaches. They
made everybody shell out all the money
they had, made all Of them cry Long live
Villa" at the point of their guns, knocked
a few on their heads with guns or
machetes because they would not yell,
and proclaimed that they were bold, bad
men with blood in their eyes.
Il have never been able to account for
the fact that they did not go into the
private car Naturally, we jumped at the
guess That this cars presence in the train
was the cause Of the hold-up. All the
men in that car slipped out after they
had robbed the ones next to IL and re-
manned in those cars until after the ban
dit gang. with two Mexican men and one
Mexican woman bound with rope. had
started for the wilderness
The gang secured approximately 200 900
pesos. or $25. 900. in money from the people
in the looted cars and quite a bit Of lug
gage. They did not attempt to enter the
private car. but would have found no.
body there had they gone in. None OF
the Americans was injured.
One American gave up 5000 in gold.
but became real angry when the robbers
told him he must yell the bandits name
or he would have TO be knocked in the
head. Yes, he yelled"
