When Knighthood Was In
Flower - From left to right is Linda A. Griffith, D.W. Griffith, Ann
Lorley and Harry Salter.
David Wark Griffith, born in a small Kentucky town,
revolutionized the Motion Picture industry as a director during the Silent
Film Era. He perfected his technique while working at the old Biograph
studios from 1908 - 1913.
Contained here, is an
article from 1916 which recounts the tale of how Griffith was chosen
to direct his first movie. The article was written by Linda A. Griffith, his
wife at the time, and appeared in Film Fun Magazine.
Also included is a biography of D.W.
Griffith, and a complete filmography of the
movies he directed and supervised.
It was truly D.W. Griffith
who turned filmaking into an art.
