Scientist has first to heal the wrong

Loew's Palace-D. w. Grtmth,s
"True Heart Suaie.0

One OF the major characteristics
of d. W. Griffith's cinema work is
his steadfast adhesion to theme
in picture making.
Other producers may tell a love
story but Griff1th's love stories are al
ways incidental to major theme. In
"The Birth OF a Nation" for in
stance. he preached g. doctrine of race
superiority; In 'Tntolerance," his
theme was that same characteristic
of human nature.
It is only to be expected. therefore,
that True Heart SUSIE Griffith's
latest conception for Aircraft which
began a weeks run at Loew's Palace
yesterday should tell love story that
is incidental to a more compelling
theme. In this picture. Grifnth has
painted, in his poignant. stereoscopic
fashion the story of the plain girl
the millions OF plain giris-who must
sit and ldunnbly wait for love that
sometimes never comes.
In the case Of True Heart Susie, %
however. her dream Of love comes
true in one Of the most tender, ap-
pealing romances that the master d.
rector has ever committed to cellu-
