HOW GRIFFITH ROSE TO FAME
Something of the Creator of Birth of
a Nation Now Being Shown
at The Apollo.

Always when one thinks of 9TH,
Birth of a Nation" now playing a
the Apollo Theatre, and everyone a
some time or other gives some mo
ments of thought to that great spec.
tacle-the name of David w. Griffith
comes first to mind for it was Grit.
fifth who had the courage of the pion.
eer to create it.
1t was near Louisville, Kentucky
that Griffith was born and he comes
of a Welsh family long settled in Am
erica. His father was a general in
the Confederate army and it may be
that David found much inspiration
for his making of "The Birth of a
Nation" in the home influences of his
youth. Griffith did not jump sudden
ly into fame. His beginnings were
humble. His was a growth that be-
gan with many hardships in the the
atrical world, for he was an actor be-
fore he became a motion picture di-
rector. At one time he was leading
juvenile in a revival of Robertson's
Caste" In that company were Mary
Scott, Robert Ferguson, William Ha-
zeltine and the Countess Castelvec-
chic. The Mary Scott mentioned was
the wife of the young American
Charlton, who in Italy was convicted
of her murder. Hazeltine also met
a tragic death. He was a suicide.
The ending of Grifith'S acting came
in Washington with the 6aSco of a
production in which ne was a player,
mo more acting for me-" ne said. He
had no definite plan for the future
but he soon became interested in mo-
ton pictures. The rest is history. In
seven years he rose from the ranks
to that of the acknowledged leader. of
directors and producers.

PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS

The tenth presidential election
in 1924 was unusually interest
ing. Twenty-four states took
part, having 261 electoral votes,
which were divided as follows:
John Quincy Adams 81, An
drew Jackson 80, William H.
Crawford Al, Henry Clay 81.
No candidate having a major
ity, the house of representatives,
on February g., 1925, elected
John Quincy Adams on the first
ballot. He was supported by
Is states, Jackson by seven
states, and Crawford by four
states. John G. Calhoun had
been elected vice president by
the electoral college. The popu-
lar vote at this election, the first
of which there Is a complete
record, amounted to about $780,
900.

BOOSTERS, SHOWERS,
AND PUSHERS.

Pleasantville is full of boosters,
showers and pushers, and each is
working ~valiantly toward a common
end. The only difficulty in the accom-
plishment of definite results, as we
see it, is that some begin at the bot
tom and work upward, while others
start at the top and slide down.
Thus it is that when the two forces
meet there is an inevitable conflict of
opinion and resultant confusion, end
ing, as usual, in nothing being done.
1t is a law of human nature that
the child must first learn to crawl be-
fore it can walk, and the corn must
sprout before it can grow. In each,
you will note, the beginning is at the
bottom.
And so it should be with US as a
community.
No satisfactory results are ever &C
complished when a majority of the
people are working at cross purposes,
for that which is created by n is
dissolved by another.
We have the boosters, the showers,
and the pushers in this community,
but what we need is a unity of pur-
pose, each with his eye centered upon
the goal ahead, and not upon the one
behind.
The mule is prone to move back
ward when its strength and energy is
most needed in a strong and deter
mined forward movement. And we,
brothers, should not emulate the mule.
1t would be a splendid thing for
Pl~easantville if we could get all of
the boosters, and showers, and push
ers together and fix our minds upon
one certain goal, and then each boost
side by side and all together as a unit
until we attain the desired end. But
success will come only by beginning
at the bottom and working upward
always upward-with never a halt or
backward glance until we reach the
top.
In Bible times Lots wife looked
back and was turned into a pillar of
salt. Now salt is a very useful arti-
Gle, but it does not figure in the
scheme of community development.
We don't want any mules or pillars
of salt to retard our forward owe
ment, but we do want men and women
of esour and determination who
will meet on a common ground and all
labor, and march, and push, and shove
in the same direction and to the same
end-always forward and upward.
We want to make a bigger and bet
ter and more prosperous place of u
home community, but it is difficult of
accomplishment when so many insist
on beginning at the top and sliding
downward.
Isn't it possible for US to adopt a
different policy, one upon which we
may all agree, and in behalf of which
we may labor in unison?
There are many and glorious posi-
bilities ahead of US as a commercial
and industrial proposition, supple
mented by that most reliable of all
industries-agricultural development
and expansion.
Our interests all lie in the future,
and not in the buried past and its sor-
rows and disappointments.
There is life and achievement ahead,
but it will require thought, and ener-
gy, and unity, and action to accom-
plish results.
Can we not inject new life into our
boosters, and showers, and pushers ?
Can we not utilize their wonderful
store of intelligence, and energy, and
perseverance that is now lying dor
mant?
AS one of them, brother, what do
you think? What have you to say?
WHAT ARE YOU WILLING AND
READY TO DO?

TICKET.
As The Editor Sees 1t

Has it ever occurred to you that
the American people are about the
most Indifferent class on earth-that
is, of the civilized portion of the
globe?
From a handful of savage Indians
in the days of the Columbus discov-
cry in 1892 the Americas have become
the fairest spots of the earth. Today
there is no equal in all the world.
A small band of patriots who threw
off the British yoke in 1776 have
grown and fourished and multiplied
and expanded until today the United
States dominates the financial and
commercial world. And again there is
no equal.
But with all of our power and our
greatness we still remain a people of
supreme Indifference in many of the
essentials of life-excepting, always,
the accumulation of more gold.
AS a point in illustration, take the
movement of the troops of the Ma
tional Guard to the border. When his
tory is written it will be another
smudge on our record.
For weeks prior to the movement
railroad officials had given glowing
accounts Of their preparedness for
handling any required body of troops
promptly and efficiently. But when
the call came they made a lamentable
failure, and because their steps to-
ward preparedness" had consisted of
words instead of deeds.
The government contracted for
tourist sleepers for the regiments 60
ing from the north to the border. In
some cases they were supplied, but in
others the men were required to trav-
ell the long distance in ordinary chair
cars or day coaches. And these men
were going forth to fight the battles
of their country and the railroads
who failed to give them ordinary
comforts on the journey.
For a few days there was a great
hue and cry in the newspapers and the
railroads were lambasted from Maine
to California. The roads, in an effort
to defend themselves, admitted that
the shortage of cars was brought
about by the large number of the civil
population who were moving from
point to point and using up the sleep
ing car accommodations.
And thus did the cat hop out of the
bag.
In any other country on earth the
sleepers would have been Immediately
Communicated for the use of the
troops who were to defend the coun-
try from aggression. The men who
were to do the fighting would have
been the first consideration.
But not so with US.
The railroads could make more
money by using their sleepers for the
regular traffic-hence, for the sake OF
gold, they were so used and the troops
paid the penalty.
And to illustrate our supreme indif-
ference you have but to note the fact
that even now, but a few days since
the movement, the public takes practi-
cally nc interest whatever in the sub
ject. 1t is past and gone-and that's
enough, it seems.
True, in the flush of Indignation OF
the moment a congressman or two
proposed an investigation, but, as ir
other cases, it will probably never be
made-or if made at all, it will be but
a farce with a coat of whitewash fol
adornment.
We repeat, Americans are a great
people and they dominate the world
but in the matter of indifference anC
forgetfulness they are the whole var
itself.
