TO THE PUBLIC, WHOSE SERVANTS WE ARE:
Since if is impossible for us te control the many advertising sources that spealp of
our plays, rve tal(c this means of giving $ou our personal viewpoint en our ncn production.
Yeu perhaps recollect, rve franl(ly had little le say one way or the ether of our last
production, "Dream Street," when ne showed it in the regular theatres, but wc feel this
is different. Our present production is "Orphans of the Storm," taken from the old play,
"The Twe Orphans." We have attempted te combine with this story a phase of the
French Revolution, with at least a little of the spirit and manners of that period.
Critics among the press, playwrights and ethers of judgment have acclaimed this in
Bosten and New Yerk the greatest production we have made.
"It is Griffith at his best, his most finished and most powerful
work ... the Vast canvas is epic compared with 'Way Down East.'
Griffith is the master of all" says the most conservative Bosten Transcript.
"Probably the greatest photoplay ever made, beautiful picture
fellows beautiful picture, thrill fellows thrill se fast you can only
slump into your seat and gasp" says the New Yerk Tribune.
"Far and away the finest screen drama ever seen in this country
.. . I was simply overpowered by the terrific forces Griffith turned
loose in the theatre" Bosten American.
"Anether milestone, mere spectacular than ever for motion pic
tures, a tapestry interwoven with intrigue and exciting moments . . .
surely a great motion picture" New Yerk Evening Pest.
Mr. Winchell Smith, the famous playwright, says: "It did net seem pos
sible, but Mr. Griffith has actually surpassed his magnificent films
'The Birth of a Natien' and 'Way Down East' in his 'Orphans of the
Storm.' It is his best, his 'greatest, and that means the greatest ever
made anywhere."
Our most conservative judgment expiassed te you is thai it is at least as geed Oi
"Way Down East," "The Birth of a Natien" or any work that we have yet accom
plished. I can assure you that this production represents our greatest investment in time, labor
and money.
Most sincerely your.
DAVID IV ARK GRIFFITH.

from Imitating masculine clothes nnd
customs, and te adhere te the womanly

She contrasted the type of girl who
affected mannish clethcH nnd custom
with n few similar .t pes of the alleged
masculine sex who marcel their hnlr.
rouge their lips nnd tete n blushing
rabbit's feet. Miss Strykcr asserted
that the masculine-feminine is even
