American University, Manierre Bldg., Dept. 512 Chicago Just Marionettes Continued f wanted to see if she, too, caught the big ideas that govern her director. "Why, I don't know; 'Broken Blossoms' was such an easy picture to do," she said in answer to my question, after we'd visited a bit. "Mr. Griffith always talks over a character with you, of course, and then when you are making the scene he stands by and sort of fills it in; tells you what's going on. For instance, in that scene where I was locked in the closet and my father was trying to break down the door and kill me — it wouldn't have done for me to remember that Mr. Crisp, who played the part of my father, had finished his scenes and gone fishing, would it?" She stopped to laugh a moment, and I wished the screen could show how blue her eyes are and how yellow her hair is. "So Mr. Griffith stood there by the camera, and said: 'He's going to kill you ; he'll surely break down the door; now he's got an ax, and he'll break in and you can't escape — and he'll kill you with that whip he's beaten you with — — ' Not exactly those words, of course, but things like that that would fill in the mental picture for me." And looking at that slim, pretty girl, with her childish mouth that shows a hint of the roguishness that makes her sister Dorothy such a charming comedienne, I wondered more than ever how she had been able to portray Lucy's dull little mind and the great, tearing fear that fairly leaped out from the screen and caught the audience in its grasp. "You see," she went on after a rom page 43 moment's thought, "it's getting the idea of a part that helps most — if you have that well in your head it moves everything you do. I knew Lucy so well after reading Burke's story that it didn't seem as if I myself did anything at all. Mr. Griffith gave me the main ideas for my work, and then — well, I just went ahead." So apparently his idea had been pulling the strings that moved Lillian Gish as well. And Richard Barthelmess, who plays the Chinaman, quite frankly admitted that something— he didn't exactly know what — had governed his playing of Cheng Huan. "I didn't really know whether I was being Chinese or just being different," he told me with a worried look in his brown eyes. "You see, somebody else had been rehearsing that part, and then one day Mr. Griffith said he'd like to see me do it, so I did, and he cast me for it. But I'd just been doing light-comedy roles with Dorothy Gish, you know, and of course this was so different that — but then Mr. Griffith emphasizes character a lot, you know, more than anything else. And he gave me the idea of that role so clearly that it wasn't at all hard to do." There you are again. Mr. Griffith gave him the idea, and it was the idea behind the work of Griffith himself that made the picture. So that last little talk seemed to complete the circle of marionettes — with the big conception of new things for the screen, which always, in one form or another, sways Griffith as the power that sets them all in motion. The House Behind the Rosebush Continued from page 67 "Barny, isn't it?" she asked. I thought not, and said so. "I've been in America three years now, but I can't get over missing my little house in London. I like Chippendale and Sheraton and Adam vases, and you haven't much of that here." And then I realized that there was something this birdlike little person with the creamy pink-and-white complexion needed for a setting. It was Adam vases, Sheraton, and Chippendale. "But how did you happen to come to America?" I asked just as I was leaving. "I thought English people were awfully devoted to Britain's soil — and Adam vases." "Well, a company in America — it was the Famous Players — cabled me 'Did I want to come across?' Running true to form, I up and cabled back 'yes,' and here I am." Then she "yessed" her way into the Fox tepee, and there is this little British miss, almost a Hyland lassie, up at seven a. m., in her little California bungalette behind the rosebush, "yessing" her way right straight toward — well, I wonder. He'll be a lucky rascal, anywaylike Jackpots, the British muffin hound ! When writing to advertisers please mention Picture-Plat Magazine.
