ADJUSTMENTS
At the Spencer Square.

The news that David Wark Grit
fith's production OF Way Down
East" win come to the Spencer
Square tomorrow for a 10 days
rum, the play which for the past
% years has been classic among
rural dramas, provokes the inquiry
why did Griffith select this bu-
collie story on which to devote the
talent he gave to the making OF
The Birth of Nation 'lntoler-
ance.' Broken Blossoms and
Hearts OF the World'?" And again
others will ask: why did Griffith
select this simple play for his gen
ius in direction when he might
have had for the mere asking al
most any new and modern story in
present-day 1iterature?" And yet
again will come the query from the
wise ones along Broadway: why
did Griffith pay $4,000 for the
motion picture rights to Way Down
East when he could have bought I
similar story for one-tenth the
price and made it Just az big a fea-
ture as this old play by Lottie Blair
ParkerT
These are logical questions and
they deserve logical answers. And
so perhaps IT is best to let the man
most concerned with Way Down
East" have his say. Here is what
MIR. Griffith says:
II selected Lottie Blair Parker
story of Way Down East because
it lies closer TO the human heart
than any play 1 ever read dealing
with plain people and told in a
plain manner. l have had so many
requests from those who care for
