AMERICA ( 1924) 151 To millions of women, Valentino was the personification of romance. His studio mail was enormous, and from women in all strata of society. The young men sneered, but imitated his haircut and his mannerisms. After all, fifty million women couldn't be entirely wrong. BELOW Griffith made two pictures in 1924. One was Isn't Life Wonderful, in which Neil Hamilton and Carol Dempster appeared. It was a sensitive story of life in postwar Germany, but even six years after the armistice the public wasn't ready to view German troubles with a sympathetic eye. ABOVE RIGHT Griffith's other picture was America, with a story set in Revolutionary times. Lionel Barrymore played the role of the notorious Walter Butler, the British captain who instigated the Indian massacres in upper New York.
