228 THE TALKING PICTURE The life of Abraham Lincoln has been the basis of many pictures. One of the best was Abraham Lincoln, directed by D. W. Griffith in 1930 for United Artists. Walter Huston played the title role, with Una Merkel as Ann Rutledge. BELOW In Son of the Gods, Richard Barthelmess went back to the Oriental atmosphere of Broken Blossoms. This Warner Brothers production had elaborate sets and intricate lighting that outreached even Hollywood's usual extravagant standards. In this view of one of the sets, Barthelmess and Constance Bennett are in the immediate foreground.
