How I Did It" wool, blown-in-the-bottle melodrama. But Griffith is a master at it. He knows the value of suspense and he always gives it to us. He gave us a lot of it in "Way Down East." There, it was the famous ice scene, when Lil- lian Gish is floating down the river on a cake of ice and Barthelmess is trying to reach her. He prolonged that suspense until the girl gets to the very edge of the falls, and by that time the spectator is almost a nervous wreck. But the audience loves it. The public loves to be thrilled. That's why there's always a crowd around an accident or an arrest. That's why the newspapers devote considerable space to deeds of daring. We love to be thrilled, and the writer who can thrill his audience by giv- ing it excellent suspense is sure to find his work in great demand. 88
