Griffith to Speak
On Film Censorship
To Virginia Solons

David Wark Griffith has been Sc
lected to speak before a joint ses-
sion of the house and the senate
at Richmond. Va. on the pending
question of censorship. and Mr..
Griffith. who is well qualified to
speak on this subject, will make
his plea with no help from any
other motion picture source.
The South is his home ground.
and he knows many reasons why
censorship is not always advisable.
He might, il he cares to use this
illustration. take his own Birth
of a Nation" If censorship had
been permitted to have its way, the
South would never have been per-
mitted to present on the screen its
side of the reconstruction situation
as it did in this story of the civil
war and the stormy period that fol-
lowed
A bitter war was waEed in Chi
cago against the picture, and a court
decision wasfwon by Mr.. Griffith.
only after he had presented his
case so sanely and clearly that no
judge in the world could refuse
to allow the picture to be shown.

when William n. Taylor under
took the direction of the screen
version of Mark Twain's greatest
novel. "Huckleberry Finn" he faced
a difficult problem. The millions of
persons who have read the classic
of boy life had formed their own
mental picture of how Huck and
Tom Sawyer and Aunt Polly and
Jim and the other characters looked
and acted. and it was Mr.. TayloTs
duty to present the living characters
so that they would fit these mind por-
traits.
Fortunately the impressions of
Huck and his friends. gathered from
the descriptions by Mark Twain,
have been supplemented >and. in
many cases, made permanent by the
illustrations for the story by E. w.
caught up the text and. in graphic
form, has set forth the characters
just as Mark Twain saw tnem.
Huck. his tattered hat and sagEing
breeches: Tom Sawyer. with the lath
sword of his rank as leader OF the
pirate gang: Miss Watson's slave,
Jim: all of them live in Mr.. Kemble's
sketches as they do in the authors
written pages.
Realizing this MIR. Taylor chose
his players-not one of them
star" but each of them a type
with the Kemble pictures in mind.
In dressing them. he constantly re-
ferred to an illustrated copy of
"Huckleberry Finn" and in directing
his action he invariably posed his
actors as Kemble had posed them
in the illustrations.
