Some Facts About
David Crimth's
New MelOdrama

Before D. ". Griffith began to flm
bis latest and greatest picture, "Orphans $
Of the Storm" he held what he calls a
tournament OF acting. Each actor or
actress who is being considered for q
part is measured against the other as
pirants. This applied even to the Gish
sisters, and it vas not until after the
trial that Lillian was chosen as Ken
riette and Dorothy as Louise, the blind
girl Those now in the cast are the
sttest who sur,ive-the survivors rep
resentng moro than 300 actors who
were weighed in the balance and found
wanting. In the list OF those who
tried for place in the scene are tho
names Of many famous actors and
actresses.
The wonder Of Il is that in contcm-
plating the work Of making this stu
'endous motion picture Mr.. Griffith did
not falter and then decide to make
six-reel picture instead. The fact
nat he has made enormous spectacle
'ictures in the past only makes it more
tppslling, for ignorance often makes
one rush in where angels fear to tread.
"Orphans Of the storm" is one Of
no most pretentious works ever under
AIKEN by an American. For one set
,ly. Griffith constructed reproduction
If Paris l50 Years ago. he built city
i'h twelve streets and several blocks
buildings In plain figures it took
900 tons Of paving blocks to prepare
streets and $4,000 panes Of glass

Mr. Griffith had staff at research

Heavier Infestation
OF Boil Weevil Is
Indicated by Experts

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-A heav-
Ter infestation of boil weevils in the
cotton belt than in any recent year
is indicated for the coming season
by observations made at the Delta
laboratory at Tallulah, La, by ex-
perts of the bureau Of entomology
of the department of agriculture, it
was announced today This forecast,
it was explained, was based largely
on the mildness of the winter,
coupled with conditions last fall
which permitted an unusually large
anumber of weevils, to enter hiberna-
ton Recent records, it was said,
have tended to verify this calcula-
ton.
While an abnormally heavy emerg-
ence of weevils was indicated for
the spring, it was said this did not
necessarily mean that weevil dam
age would be unusually great, since
it was possible that summer weather
conditions might offset the early in
