574 MOVING PICTURE WORLD June 11, 1921 D. W. Griffith Buys Film Rights to "THE TWO ORPHANS ' A sale is now completed by which D. W. Griffith, Inc. obtains the exclusive film rights to Kate Claxton's famous play, "The Two Orphans'\ It is recognized as one of the most popular plays of the last century. Mr. Griffith intends to apply to it the same elaborate interpretation he did to Mrs. Parker's play "Way Down East". By the conditions of this sale, all other producers can be restrained from distributing any film in which characters or episodes of *'The Two Orphans''^ are included. This was recently made a matter of court record in the U. S. District Court, Ith N. Y. District, in the case of The Selig Poly- scope Company and Kate E. Stephenson, plaintiffs, vs William Fox and Tlie Fox Film Corporation, defendants. The production will be completed in about four months. Lillian and Dorothy Gish and Joseph Schildkraut the famous European actor, will appear in this film as the central characters of the story. D. W. GRIFFITH, Inc. A. L. Grey, Gen.
