become great voiceless art Such is
Broken Blossoms
There are those who will see in this
dramNu merely piteous tragedy of sweet
ness and poignance. But there are artlsts
who will see subtle but powerful symbols
in the very simplicity of this narratlV =
of sorrow. They will see Cheng Huan as
a sort of Chinese Sir Galahad, the knight
of the pure heart; and in Battling Hur-
rows the INSTALLATION of brute materi-
atty. And as in the case of all srea-
works of art, there is doubtless more
there than the artist himself knew.
In "Rroken Blossoms" H. c. Griffith
has attained the highest stage of motion
photography; that masters eye has
devised the grouping of the figures and
backgrounds commonly known as com
nosition''-and that a spirit attuned to
the most sensitive and poetic human I'M
nulses has etherealized and happily
ampIifed the original story OF Ihe
Chink and the Child" is evident the first
FIVE minutes you sit before the beauti-
full masterpiece.
Concerning Mr. Griffith's deviations
from the "original' story | like the
change he has made in the death OF
Battling Burrows"
Mr. Burke tells that the Chinese boy,
prior to his self-immoation, carries OUT
a native custom by making death-glrt
to his enemy. He places a venomous
viper in Battling's bed and when that
monster Of iniquity, drink-forgetfui OF
his crime seeks rest, he finds it eter-
naIlv from the reptiles fangs. Mr.. Grit-
fifth has elected to have Battling Bur-
rows shot by the young Chinaman In
an American war of longs fashion.

n l7AVE you ever sat in theatre and
iii seen play hiatt gripped you so
- d terribly and held you SO fast end
tight within it's clutches that when it
was over you couldn't leave or speak or
move?
l have; one of these was THE Jest
which | saw recently in New York.
I've also seen a photoplay which has
affected me the same way; it is Broken
Blossoms" the Griffith masterpiece,
which / saw yesterday afternoon for the
first time at the packed Trianon theatre,
where countless hundreds were eager and
anxious to see this beautiful voiceless
drama.
l confess freely that when l hear So
much of a person, a play or a picture,
to be entirely 'bronidis," [ am nearly
always disappointed; but friends O mine,
please let me say that none could be dis
appointed in Broken Blossoms" for it
dis the acme of art-the most exquisitely
pathetic, beautiful thing that could pos
sibly be portrayed on the screen
Another honest confession (Which they
say Is good for the soul, but very bad tor
the reputaton) is thai when l first heard
of Broken Blossoms and realized that
Mr.. Griffith had taken the story OF
Thomas Burkes ''Limehouse Nights a.
the subject for a motion picture, well
frankly, | suffered a purple moment,
for I couldn't see for the life of me how
Thomas Burke could be anything but
prosy on the screen. His subtilties, his
masterful mode of expression, the real
literature found in his stories, seemed to
me impossible of outlet in the voiceless
drama, but his master hand, his master
mind and his master aircraft, David
Warll Griffith took Mr.. Burke's "Ihe
Chink and the Child" and from 1t
sounded depths, dreamed Dreams touched
high lights that the author never so much
as visioned. In other words, 1.-THE Chink
and the Child, as shown in ''Broken
Blossoms is a happy combination Of
genius and art; the genius of the author,
Mr.. Burke, and the AIT of the producer
Mr.. Griffith.
Broken Blossoms is not a spectacular

of Broken Blossoms:

1t is the almost forgotten art of tragedy.
It has the sweet, solemn sense OF the
