 n C7R. D. w. GRIFFITH should take AVA ity is not nearly as bad as the l .intellectuar" critic has so consistently charged-and as MT. Griffith himself is beginning to think. In one sense 1t IS true. of course, as he somewhat be-
 latedly proclaims, that "Poiiyanna is not at all the philosophic gold for which many good folk take it, but oniy
 "a false philosophy of gilded bunkum'' Being the most famous piece in it's multitudinous school. many eager carpers have anticipated MT. Gritfitn in denouncing it as "the most immoral story ever produced on the screen" In real life people are neither all good. nor all lad; virtue is too often its only
 reward and the wicked flourish like the green bay tree. Considered as transcript from life, or as philosophic comment upon it. the whole movie
 repertory is indeed "distorted and diluted stuff" If audiences took it high seriously. their morals might be damaged. But they don't and that is
 the most that is to be said as to the
 invectives of the 'intellectuaT critics,
 or as to the belated qualms of MT.
 Griffith's artistic conscience.
 Movieland is the land of romance or it is nothing. If Mir. Griffith were to show us up to ourselves as we are, or to show us our relatives and friends as we know them, we should pay him few tributes of small change .or of large evenings spent with his films Doubtless the art form of Moliere is on a higher plane with its clinically truth seeking method, it's philosophic
