We give you our word that as soon as the photographer linds a new location we will have Mr. Gnutt pose again. In the meantime — turn to Page 49. Screen Supplement to Show Mr. Griffith It has been often said that David W. Griffith is the most difficult person in the film business to interview for the reason that he declares he has nothing interesting to say. That is modesty of the most genuine sort. And because of his reluctance to pose as a sage or a prophet even in his own kingdom, he has been interviewed but seldom, and siien on the screen only on tlie rarest occasions. Photoplay's Screen Supplement ha? scored its greatest triumph to date, therefore, in visualizing this remarkable creator in the very premises from which his great pictures came. Our camera picks him up as he studies a script in the old "rehearsal room"' on the Fine Arts lot in Hollywood. Then is shown a tremendous recollection of the Ride of the Clan, in "The Birth of a Nation," after which Mr. Griffith and Mr. Quirk, publisher of Photopl.ay, saunter over to the most famous architectural relic in America, the ruins of Babylon. And here in these weeds and broken piles of brick and mortar, imagination — and the magic of the camera — for a moment recreate all the splendors of Belshazzar's court. The Fifth Supplement will also show some interesting scenes filmed about the Metro studios. May Allison, Richard Rowland and Viola Dana all appear informally before the Supplement camera and some unusual views of the life about the studios is included in this feature. Remember Joe Martin, the histrionic orang-outang? There is a story about him in this issue of Photopl.\y. Well, he and a big neighborly elephant at the Universal zoo got together before the Photoplay Screen Supplement camera and proved that the best of jungle enemies can meet far from the denizens of wild beasts and be sociable. The Supplement, released by the Educational Films Corp., will be shown in your neighborhood theatre soon. If is isn't — -ask the manager. Photopl Page 76 V»t Ili-ttcT.
