HIGH LIGHTS IN GRIFFITH’S “ORPHANS OF THE STORM” Herewith are given just a few of the outstanding facts about D. W. Griffith’s picture sensation, “Or phans of the Storm,“ playing at the Rylander theater on Wednesday and Thursday. A perusal of these facts and figures will give a fairly accurate idea of the magnitude of the picture, but the real magnifi cence and tremendously big aspects of this Griffith dramatic epic must be seen properly to be appreciated. These facts will help a little to pre pare the public for what they are going to see: “Orphans of the Storm” is an adaptation of that famous old stage classic, “The Two Orphans.” It was given the title “Orphans of the Storm” in order to avoid con fusion with other pictures called “The Two Orphans.” Nearly twelve months were oc cupied in working up to, making th e finishing picture, from the first steps to the finishing touches. Six monhts were spent in the actual making. Every scene, large or small, was personally directed by Mr. Griffith. Twenty-six tons of properties wer e imported from France in order to faithfully reproduce the scenes styles and costumes of that time. Lillian and Dorothy Gish appear together for the first time since the “Hearts of the World,” also a Griffith feature. Three million feet of lumber were used in constructing Paris; 300 tons of paving stone were set in the streets; ninety barrels of paint were used, and 4,000 panes of glass. The fountain of wine is an ac tual reality, done with the permis sion of the prohibition enforce ment agent. “BOOTH TARKINGTON” PRAISES “BOY OF MINE” Booth Tarkington, author of “Boy of Mine,” playing a t the Ry lander theater today and Tuesday highly praises th e photo production of his greatest drama. Below is printed his letter to ,1. K. McDon ald, producer of the picture. “When a picture’s pathos makes a group of newspaper reporters < ry visibly and sniffle audibly, as ’Boy of Mine’ did, last Flight, and then brings shrieks of laughter from everbyody, the producer ought to be satisfied. “In the matter of ‘Penrod anti | Sam’ I wrote you that had so little to do with the success of the pic ture, which was merely founded on outlines of mine, that I felt able to congratulate you as a spectator, more than a participant in the creation of the picture. “This is still more the case with ‘Boy of Mine. The picture is so dignified and yet so humorous—so touching and yet so immensely truthful—that any writer might in deed be pleased to have his name associated with it; but it is far more such a picture as I believe the best sort of pictur e should be, than it is actually a thir\g for which I am entitled to claim credit. And in point of fact I have had very little to do with its obvious suc cess; therefore I feel entitled to congrtaulate you upon the creation as well as the production of what seems to me a very handsome work ro art, which nevertheless those elements of popularity necessary to commercial triumph—not an easy MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 24, 1924, or frequent combination, as we all know.” BEAUTIFUUL NOVEL DANCE IN “ LITTLE BIT OF BROADWAY No home play before presented in Americus has featured so many no vel dance features as will A lit tie Bit of Broadway" The dancing, both the chorus an solo work will be outstanding features of the Show, the dancing of the Misses Birdsey of Macon, will be a hit The entrancing Tango danced by Miss Eugenia Parker and Jules Griffin, of Ma con, will captivate the audience.
