is Lillian Gish, whose performance az
the child in this picture gives her rank |
among the greatest actresses on the |
screen. Miss Gish came to New York |
to witness the premier of the picture
at the Cohan theatre and to attend the
first nights in other cities on the Allan
tie seaboard.
She was just bubbling over with the
excitement of her New York vsit-the
first in two years. She talked lot of
Broken Blossoms.
First she revealed that Mr. Griffith
never really meant to have her play the
role Of the child He thought her just
little too old. HHHe searched all Los
Angeles for child actress suitable for
the part. said Miss Gish, "but could

The picture was really made in a short
time, says Miss Gish. tThat is, the
actual photographing of il. But the
troubles that arose Donald Crisp. who
played NV father, was directing for
Lasky at the time, and they were obliged
10 shoot all his scenes at night. Mr.
Rarthelmess' mother was sick, and in
the middle of the work | got the flu -
But all these seemed small troubles com.

put in on the picture without the bene-

heights Of fear and agony as the door
is hacked down was done without anv

partition and in broad daylight. To
| work up those intense scenes of mortal
fear was a pretty difficult task, Miss
Gish admits. And that it was tremen-
donsly effective anyone who has seen
the picture may wen agree. But then
none of these difficulties came out in the
wash. Miss Gish i secrets can be looked
for time and again in Broken Blossoms
and not be found Outside Of being
forced to tell about her picture work
Miss Gish has been seeing New York
and finding herself dizzy with il al.
She agrees that the contrast between the
quiet of California s night and the
noise of New York would make good

LONG ROAD WITH MANY TURNS


Thirty-five years ago today the
first issue of the Censor under the
present editor and publisher was CIV
en-, he succeeding Colonel Henry Cas-
son. It has been a long road and
many changes in people and general
conditions of hamlet, village, city and
county. Two railroads penetrated
the county then, now four. There
wasn't a plate glass in all Vernon
county, not a foot of concrete walk,
now the exception is the rule. Thcn
there was but one banking institution
in the county, now fifteen. Then three
newspapers, now seven, and hav,. been
as high as twelve at times. Then not
an Incorporated village, now nine, and
one city. Then twenty-fOur members
of the county board, now thirty-three.
Then one high school, now seven.
Then no county asylum, and the crud-
est, dilapidated poor house" that was
properly named now homes and farms
for the INDECENT and unfortunate that
are a decided credit to the community
and humanity. Then the entire coun-
ty tax levy was $4,000, now $3.50
Then a county valuation of 1000, 900,
now it is rated at close to $50, 900, 600.
Then no such indispensable thing as
telephone, now one in almost every
house and business place IN the en-
tire county. Then no such thing as
an automobile was thought of, now
an average of almost one to every
family. Then all used only kerosene
and candles, now electricity. Then
ox-teams were shown at the county
fair, now nothing slower than an
overhead aeroplane. Then improved
farm lands sold at SIS to $40 per acre,
now SIS to $780, Then the country
roads were little better than quag-
mires, now a system or dirt highways
that are the delight of travellers ma
ton wide. Then there was but one
tobacco packing house in the county,
now dozens of them, among them
| the most extensive and modern in the
| United States. Then we had three
churches, now seven. Then there was
not a solid brick business place in
! Viroqua, now all are such except a
very few old-time structures. Not
| to exceed halt dozen business or
professional men remain actively in
| the city that were here then. Then
| the Censor had two out Of date press
es that were run by hand; now the
Office is equipped with a battery Of
four modern presses, paper folder,
type setting machine, all propelled by
electricity. Then the papers circu-
latioi was about 700, now $500, and
its pages are doubled in size and num-
Der. 1t is a satisfaction to realize
that almost everything and the gen
eral surroundings of city, county and
country have kept pace with the Cen
sor's accomplishments. All! But who
will tell the tale of events thirty-five
years later, and who is rash enough
to even speculate on the future?
