CHAPTER 9 THE STORY BEHIND THE MAKING OF INTOLERANCE The success of The Birth of a Nation gave him an opportunity to do something he'd never before had a chance to do. The stories he had been writing had been coming back from the magazines. Well, he would be his own editor and he would accept his own stories. He took the rejected stories, changed them, and made them into films! During the year 191 6— with the myriad things he had to do— he made seven films from stories of his own. He put other names on them, but they were all his stories. The list: 1. The Wood Nymph written and produced by Griffith; scenario by Granville Warrick. Released January 15. Triangle brand. 2. Daphne and the Pirates. Scenario by Granville Warrick. 3. Hoodoo Anne. By Granville Warrick. 4. An Innocent Magdalene. The original story by Granville Warrick. 5. The Wild Girl of the Sierras.
