The epic has become a specialized department of studio and thaater. a sort Of school of historical drama in which qulck effects are sacrificed to greater breadth and depth. One of the most interesting veterans of that school active during the making Of the great trial scenes, is George Sleg- mann. who in 1914 assisted D. w.. Griffith in the making of the first epic of "The Birth Of Nation. ana played the role of the southern mulatto governor, Silas Lynch,
