Again Mr. Griffith ShOlUs 'En, HOlU It
 Should be Done
By (MAE TINEE)

The D. w. Griffith repertory sea- son started auspiciously last night at the Illinois with Broken Blos- soms," adapted from the story by Thomas Burke.
 At the risk of repeating on's self, it is still necessary to say that Mir. Griffith is in class all by himself. He has a number of worthy follow CTS in the directional line who put out excellent pictures-so good you wonder if, perhaps, the master has not rivals. The answer comes when with a production. like Broken Blossoms" the wibard turns himself loose and shows what he really can de.
 Realizing the psychological effect of surroundings on the plastic mind, the Illinois theatre has been touch ed by a discerning wand and trans formed into bower of flowers and rosy lights. Beautiful houris in the shimmering raiment of the ori- ent precede you to your seat and hand you your quaint program. h. cense and music combine to lure you into harmony with the picture. Of which, somebody remarked upon
The courier-index., 1920-02-27
hearing of it's presentation:

hearing of its presentation:
 ''I wonder if that story can be put upon the screen? It's a dan. gerous theme-the love of a yellow man for a white girl-and would have to be treated with the same exquisite delicacy and sureness of touch the author used in order to make the picture in any way pos sible."
 We'll, it could not have been more beautifully handled. Richard Bar. thelmess as the lonely Chinese lad who comes to London to convert the Anglo-Saxon to the theories of the gentle Buddha, and there meets disillusionment, love and death, gives marvellous presentation.
 Surely this stolid, intense, sen sitive, passionate, disappointed, sad eyed watchful oriental could never have played in the comedies. Yet it was only last week we saw him lending merriment to Dorothy Gish picture. He gave me the sur prise of my young life, I'll admit. I didn't think he had it in him.
 And Lillian Gish. It has been that now you like her and now you don't. This time, however, there can be no question about her. She is poor little cockney, the ward of a prize fighter whom she calls Daddy" It is upon this helpless waif that daddy vents the rage of his black moments-using the raw hide with skill born of long prac- tice. One of these beatings brings her to the Chinaman's door step, where she falls, spent with pain.
 Hunger, agony, terror, helpless ness, timid gratitude to the first person who has ever been kind to her-the Chinese boy-are all DOT trayed by Miss Gish with startling lealism. You are sick with pity for her. You admit it-and that shows how wonderful she is.
 As to Donald Crisp as the prize fighter, you must hand him a med al for work well done. And then you'd like to forget him. The minor parts are all excellently played.
 The picture has a rather novel color Chinese blue. Awful ly effective. It is characterized by the artistic settings, splendid pho tography and keen attention to de tail that always mark a Griffith production.
