HERE is a REAL
LESSON IN MUSIC

There is a great lesson to be re-
ceived from the concert given last
night at Caleb Mills Hall by The
Barrere Little Symphony under the
direction of the Federation of In
dianapolis Public School Teachers.
The lesson has many meanings,
but to me the one big one is the
ability of the conductor to come
right out in meaning and tell us
that it is as important for the
audience to recognize this school
of American music" as those on the
platform.
Barrere told us last night with
his fourteen musicians that in all
Of his programs with The Little
Symphony that he has played an
outstanding work of a modern COM
poser, who died suddenly, meaning
Charles T. Critics.

D. ". GRIFFITH
TRIED TO HAWK
VALUABLE FILM
Offered Birth of Nation
Interest for $1,000
in Backing.

~ Ifniff NrfftTf
NEW YORK, Nov. I'D. w.
Griffith, dean of movie makers, was
hunting all over America twenty
years ago for some one with faith
enough to put $4,000 into feature
film he was making to be called
'The Birth Of a Nation"-and
couldn't find him. The picture,
which finally was finished by skirnp-
ing, saving and subterfuge, would
have returned a million dollar profit
on the investment, and did make
millions for Griffith.
This is one OF the inside stories
Of the pioneer days of the movies,
told for the first time by Harry
Carr, veteran editor and scenario
writer. in the current issue of Smart
Set magazine. Griffith offered a
one-quarter interest in the film for
the $4,000 he needed to complete it,
relates Carr, and finally, being
broke, sold part Of the state rights
on the picture for much less than
that sum.
Hurries for Grub
On one occasion when he was
unable to pay the cowboys who
were playing cavalrymen. the direc-
tor had a chuck wagon" moved far
down the road and the dinner horn
blown. mo one has ever known
until now that the most famous mad
ride in the history of the screen was
really a gang Of hungry cowboys
hurrying toward grub" recalls Carr.
The Birth of a Nation" when
completed proved the first and one
of the greatest movie box Office SEN
Bations of all time.
Carr further recalls the introduce
ton Of many of the greatests stars
TO the movies, barking back to the
day when Griffith let Mary Pickford
go because he didn't consider her
worth 5000 a week, which she de-
manded. In her latest pictures she
has made many times as much in
an hours work.
incidentally, the Smart Set writer
throws a new light on the Inflated
Jack Pickford. Griffith has told
me that Jack Pickford had the
markings of the greatest actor who
had ever come into his studio. He
could have been a Mansfield Of the
screen, but he threw away his
career because he could never make
himself care" he says.
Dragged From Box
Mack Sennett, foremost Of COM
edy producers, and Mabel Normand,
premier comedienne, could have
been seen in those days building
their own sets, even papering the
walls themselves, so poor was the
budding industry and so humble its
coming stars. About the same time
Tom Mix rode out of the plains into
Los Angeles, lust cowboy, green
as grass and rough as an unplaned
board" says Carr, who tells how
the two-gun hero first broke into
fame by lassoing Charles E. Van
Loan, famous short story writer, and
dragging him from box at Los
Angeles rodeo.
The Talmadge girls, Norma. Con-
stance and Natalie, were living in
cheap boarding houses with their
mother and trying to break into the
films in those days. while Charles
Ray and Jack Gilbert we're doing
odd Jobs as extras.

Here is the commanding war play
resulting from the war. No doubt
about it because it brings the in
dividual reaction against war to the
very front. 1t is more than theater
as a play, it is war.
This is not a strong language
play. It is the strongest emotional
play concerning war that 1 have
ever seen. That is the effect that
war has on the individual.

an event that has every right to
