I'll amend that; a picture may be absolutely true, but net be plausible te people who don't knew thnt It is true, and doubt it. But that's the fault of the people i and net of the picture. If you are , convinced that sea life Is, or has been, . or might easily be as shown in "Hurri. cune'n Gal," then "Hurricane's Unl" ! Is u plausible picture te jeu. But, if jeu don't knew sea life of your own j knowledge, the only thing te de is te accept it as shown and believe it un less these who really de knew say that it isn't true. Te me, "Leve of Pharaoh" was plausible, I wasn't there when the old guv did his grand nml lefty tumbling act off the reviewing 6tand, but noth ing in the picture made me say definitely "I don't believe It." Therefore It was easy for me te put my whole sub conscious self in the hamis of the di rector and the actors and let them de a they liked with me.

I draw distinction between sentiment and sentimentality ; the former Involves the tenderness, pathos, comedy nnd tragedy of life, while the latter ex aggerates these phases of existence for the purpose of creating emotional ef fect. 'Over the Hill' Is the best exam ple that I knew of sentimentality, while 'Tella'ble David" Is an excellent example of the use of sentiment. In producing plays or pictures which arc merely cress sections of life at one par ticular time, there Is always a tempta tion te atep.ever the border line between sentiment arid sentimentality. I must admit 'frankly that Griffith approaches that borderline at times and occasionally steps ever te. the side of sentimentality, but aa a whole he remains en the safe fij --- ' .
