Public health is commodity Tor sale

why Griffith Selected way Down
East"

The news that David Wark Griffith's
production of way Down East will
come TO the opera house on Wednesday,
the play which for the past " years
has been classic among rural dramas,
provokes the inquiry: "Why did Grif-
fifth select this bucolic story ON which
to devote the talents he gave to the
making Of The Birth Of a Nation,
intolerance Broken Blossoms and
Hearts of the World'f" And again
Others will ask: why did Griffith Sc
lect this simple play for his genius in
direction, when he might have had Tor
the mere asking almost any new and
modern story in present-dsy litern-
ture? ~ And yet again will come the
query from the wise ones along Broad
way: why did Griffith pay $4,000
for the motion picture rights TO Way
Down East when he could have
bought a similar story for one-tenth
the price and made it Just as big tea-
ture as this old play by Lottie Blair
Parkeri'
These are logical questions and they
deserve logical answers. And so per-
haps II is best to let the man most
concerned with @Way Down East have
his say. Here is what Mr. Griffith
says:
II selected Lottie Blair Parker's
story Of Way Down East because il
lies closer TO the human heart than
any play I ever read dealing with plain
