Greatest of War Historians
The Most Remarkable Tribute Ever Paid to Any One
Identified with the world of the Screen Drama is the honor
which has just been bestowed upon DAVID WARK
GRIFFITH by the Board of Historians at present engaged
in compiling the Standard Contemporary History of the
Great War.
At a meeting of tbese HISTORIANS, comprising repre-.
sentatives, professors and members of the faculty of the
leading universities of America, a genex-al discussion took
place concerning MR. GRIFFITH'S supreme triumph,
"HEARTS OF THE WORLD," and those present agree
that in this gigantic contribution to the world's record of
the war MR. GRIFFITH has proven himself THE GREAT
EST OF WAR HISTORIANS.
Read the following letter to Mr. Griffith from Dr.
Francis Trevelyan Miller, of the Board of Historians:
.My Dear .Mr. Criffitli: NEW YORK. N. Y, April 2Jd, 1918.
Al an editorial conference of our Hoard of Historians today we
discussed (lie alue of your Motion Picture Masterpiece. "HEARTS
OT THE WOULD." as a permanent contribution to the world's history
It may interest you to know that we agreed your production is the
most notable on record that the War has produced. Wc feel privileged
in Kreetins yon as the GREATEST OK WAR HISTORIANS.
I hare produced nineteen olunieron the War. But in a single
picture jolt produce a vital, human record that embodies the spirit and
the soul of the War nith deeper reality than oil these books combined.
While wc are at uork analyzing the oflicial documents from the
bi'll.'Kcrent eoiernmenls and battlefronls for our cumbersome volumes
on the creat War, you reveal the world-tragedy in two and a half hours
with "HEARTS 01' THE WORLD."
While I am informed by my publishers that my works arc breaking
all business records (with sales exceeding $4,000,000), we find that yoar
work reaches millions of people where wp reach only thousands and
that your business figures leap far beyond all possibilities cf the printed
page.
I have come to the conclusion that hereafter history must be
divided into four epochs: Ancient. Medieval, Modern and "the Motion
Picture. The Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Age of the Printed Page
and the Film Age.
Herodotus was the first of Grecian historians: Josephus, the first
celebrated Jewish historian; then in modern times wc find Gibbon in
his "History of Rome": Hume with his "History of England"; passing
along to our own Prcscott. Bancroft, Motley and Parkman, until today
we find in thi.s age of inventive genius the great historian of tho
People Cinematography of which you MR. GRIFFITH are the
FIRST of the great Cinema historians. This is the position that you will
occupy in the records of human progress.
This letter, (hen. is a greeting from a historian of the old school of
l)Pi;niphy to a historian of the NEW SCHOOL if cinematography.
Again extending to you my highest admiration for your epoch
making achieements. I am. cordially ours
(Signed) FRANCIS TREVELYAN MILLER (Litt. D., LL.U.)
