Dear Mr. Editor:—
Th. annual report of the Hospnal

new record, despite the heavy handi-

The task of ministering to the suf-
fering young/dere of this province was

Griffith Soh d One Scene
127 Tunes Before Satisfied.
When • Hearts of the World" is shown
for the Bret time at Victoria Opera
(loose, Goderich, December 14. there will
be few in the audietwe who will realise
that one singk scene of this master pro-
dtruon was rehearsed exactly one hun-
dred and twenty-erven times before
Dav,d Wark Griffith called "Camerar'
Mali will think that a wiene tequiririg
so many rehearsals must be wide ma`ns-
ticent, a kind of panoramic spectacle like
the massive groupings in "The Birth of a
Nation," or "Intolerance," CriltitNs two
former productions. Contrary, to this.
the scene upon which so much time was
spent is neither elaborate nor magnificent,
and still everyoue who sees it will realise
why so much time was consumed on it and
why the great director attached so much
importaliee to it.
It is said on gond authority that for
two years Mr. Griffith planned to get the
particular expression he sought from the
faces of the talented juvenile players,
Lillian Gish an4 Robert Harron. Un-
told or unworried, probably nobody would
single out this one scene as the work of
nearly two years, yet everybody will note
the expression of reverence on the faces of
the two player-. as Mr. Harron slips the
band of goki on the slim finger of Miss
Gish. and looking, upward, -etys: "If l we
are taken. God will know that we Med
man and wife."
This scene was rehearsed two years ago:
in fact, it was the first scene rehearsed
and the last to be "shot." In the intet-
im, during all the long weary months on j
the battlefields of France, this scene was
gone over again and again. Miss Ceish
herself tells of rehears ng it also in a
London hotel. on the boat to France, on
the battlefields with shells screaming
overhead, nn the way back to America,
in a New York hotel, and on the train
to Los Angeles. But like the searcher of
old _Griffith did not hnd his Holy
Grail until one day upon his return
to his home in Pasadena, Cali-
fornia, when the three were again going
over the wedding compact anddw caught
just afleeting ghmpseo( the expression he
wanted.
"He was like a child with a new toy,"
says Miss Lillian Gish. ••1 never have
seen hits happier than when. on that
afternoon, he sent Inc his cameraman, and
secured the scene just as he had wanted
it."
It would of course be unfair to say
that this one scene stands out among all
the rest in such a production as "Hearts
of the World," for the simple reason that
there are many hundred of equally
painstakingly prepared scenes. each one

eye of thialmaster producer.
