   Extractions: "To watch his work is like being witness to the beginning of melody, or the first conscious use of the lever or the wheel; the emergence, coordination, and first eloquence of language; the birth of an art: and to realize that this is all the work of one man." - James Agee L illian Gish called him "the father of film" and Charlie Chaplin called him "the teacher of us all." At the pinnacle of his worldwide prominence, D.W. Griffith screened his films for the urban working-class as well as for presidents at the White House. Griffith’s films became part of history in the making—unleashing the power of movies as a catalyst for social change. More than anyone of the silent era, he saw film’s potential as an expressive medium, and exploited that potential.

   Extractions: Hollywood, Calif. D.W. Griffith's Twenty-Year Record His 430 Pictures Gross $56,053,000 Earns More Than Any Creative Artists of History During his twenty years of effort in the motion picture industry, D.W. Griffith, the pioneer director, has made 430 pictures at a cost of $12,834,000. The gross earnings of these pictures, more than two-thirds of which were one and two-reelers made prior to 1912, have already reached the stupendous figure of $56,053,000, with two of Griffith's latest productions still to be reported on. Based on his last five program pictures made, Griffith's average grossage is in the neighborhood of $1,300,000 a picture, or approximately $500,000 more than the earnings of other Hollywood Director. The estimated net profit derived from these 430 pictures covering the 20 years of Griffith's leadership in the industry is around $25,000,000, after proper deductions have been made for production costs, selling and overhead. It is interesting to note that although Griffith has possibly made more money through his artistic efforts than any man in history, he is comparatively a poor man in respect to the mounting wealth of men like Joseph M. Schenck, Cecil B. DeMille, Jesse Lasky, Carl Laemmle, Adolph Zukor and others. This is explained in the fact that he has used most of his great earnings in experimentation with new phases of production and the development of artistic pictures that have brought him little monetary return.

   Extractions: The producer and director of The Birth of a Nation, Hearts of the World, Way Down East , and Orphans of the Storm works with amazing disregard of system. Others attempt his methods of procedure and come more often to grief than to glory. No volume on the subject of directing would be complete without the mention of D.W. Griffith. And yet it is utterly impossible to deal with D.W. Griffith in any comprehensive way. The producer of the first great picture The Birth of a Nation , the man who strove for something beyond the times in Intolerance , the artist who made Hearts of the World and the masterly technician who stands sponsor for Way Down East , is singularly hard to approach from any ordinary viewpoint. There is no doubt that D.W. Griffith at intervals gives just cause to the commentators who place him at the top of the list of all directors. But at the same time he often does the most ordinary of things on the screen. In one picture he is an artist and in the next he appears in the light of a producer of hack pieces of motion picture film. The reason, no doubt, is that Mr. Griffith is a business man as well as an artist. He sinks an unusually large amount of money in a picture such as

    Extractions: Griffith, D. W. Griffith, D. W. (David Wark Griffith), , American movie director and producer, b. La Grange, Ky. Griffith was the first major American film director. He began his film career as an actor and a scenario writer in 1908 with the Biograph Company. He soon began to direct and at once began to explore the full potential of camerawork, editing (or montage Judith of Bethulia (1913), and followed with the then-immense ten-reel Birth of a Nation (1915), an anthology of film technique and a landmark in the history of cinema. Stung by criticism of his negative portrayal of mulattos, he responded with a more audacious work. Intolerance (1916) sought to demonstrate the persistence of racial and social prejudice through the ages. In 1919, with Charlie Chaplin , Douglas Fairbanks , and Mary Pickford , he founded United Artists. Among his films, frequently alternating between historical spectacles and modest domestic dramas, are Hearts of the World Broken Blossoms Way Down East (1920), and Orphans of the Storm (1922). Griffith had experimented with sound as early as 1921, but his movies with full sound were not commercially successful.
