Griffith Goes to Rome.

n W. GRIFFITH has accepted an
invitation from an Italian syndi-
cate of bankers to go to Rome for the
purpose of comforting on the produc-
tion Of a series of pictures to be made
there. The syndicate is headed by
Comm. Andrea Sereo, member of the
mayors cabinet of Rome.
In n statement issued by repre-
sentatives of the syndicate it says:
I'VE feel the activity of Mr.. Griffith
in Italy will do much toward restor-
ing the picture making industry of
Italy to it's full health and pros
perity."
This is the first time an American
artist has ever been sought by an
other people to re- establish an art
activity. In many instances Ameri-
can financiers and business men have
been invited to reorganize a country's
Industries or economics, but this
seems to be the first time an artist
has been sought for that purpose.
