PRIME MINISTER OF ENGLAND RECEIVES
: AN "MOVIE"
Seldom,' if ever, lui# it fallen to the
fortunate lot of any American—and
never before to a movie director—to
be received bj David Lloyd George,
Prime Minister of England, during
war times, unless his mission was
strictly a diplomatic one and accom
panied by nuemrous papers of au
thority und national documents, and
yet tlii.s honor came to David \Vatk
Griffith, g- nius of the movies and
'picture world, in a way that wus as
j humorous as it was exceptional.
Mr. Griffith, just prior to departing
for the battlefields of Ernnce to take
I the more important scenes for his

i England, who promised, on behalf of.

the pictures on the firing lines in 1
! France. Mr. Griffith was received by:
Lloyd George .for more than an hour
j in the cabinet rooms of the British
! government in Downing street, while
i many prominent officials and Army
j and Navy officers waited in the ante
i room. Griffith tells of the incident
J laughingly, but declares that at the
(time he was frightened through und
through.
When Mr. Griffith was about to de
part from France he saw 1.10.vd
1 George again, and the greut British S
statesman said:

I me be the first to predict that when j
you have completed your labors, you!
will have produced a masterpiece
• which will carry a message around ;
. the world—a story which will inspire
i every heart with patriotism, with,
love of country and home, with the
: great cause for which the civilized
nations are now fighting in France.
; This, Mr. Griffith, is the grandest and;
I most wonderful task you have ever:
' attempted. God speed you In your.
: great work that you may accomplish j
your desires."
Throughout all of Mr. Griffiths
1 work on the battlefields of France, j
both the British and the French gov- j,
eminent officials gave hint every aid
and assistance, many times going out,
' of their way to help along in the tuk- ,
' Ing of some particularly historic
scene Mr. Griffith was eighteen
months in completing his picture, .
during which time he was on three'
| occasions under bombardment, one or j
I which lusted four hours. It is also
Interesting to note that he was the |
first American to set foot In the front :
line trenches of l-'rance. !
1 Strange as it may seem, tn view or |
I the fact that nearly all of the most
important scenes were taken on ,tlie |
I battlefields. "Hearts of the AVorld Is:
I not in any sense a war picture. Both \
in Los Angeles. Cab. where it was |
first produced, and in New York City, j
it has lieett termed "the sweetest love |
i story ever told." The great war j
I serves only as a background to the |
j unfolding of the main drama of the i
1 sternal ancr never-dying story of a;
| greut hive that could not he destroyed. '
| of good material which he can always ,
, lie depended upon to put across the
' footlights at its true worth. The re
tr.alnder of the bill Includes the !
Dancing Cronins, in a novelty dance

two good-looking girls, playing aelec- I
tlons on the piano and singing some
tuneful and original songs, and |

. It is doubtful whether ntany other)
[ movie stars could interpret with the !
! same fidelity and interest, the role I
; which Miss Carmen takes In this virile!
story of the gold fields. It is a tale I
which tells of the passions, of the
loves and hatreds of strong men and
women; of life almost in the primi
i tlve. where civilization's veneer is
tubbed through, and life in its heights
and depths is experienced.
"Hearts of the World." the produc-1
; tion that is conceded to be D. \V. Grif
fith's masterpiece, sur-
Griffith passing both his "!n
->1 nut er piece tolerance" and "The
ltirth of a Nation." will '
! be the attraction at the Orpheum thjee t

The fact that Mr. Griffith spent |
• eighteen months on the battlefields of
i France would seem to indicate that '
"Hearts of the World" is a war play.)
; To the .contrary, and on the authority
•if Mr. Griffith himself, it is not about
the war, but übout the people to whotn
the war came—ar.d for this reason it
i makes the war real. Many of the re
' cent war films have been devoted so

: in the policy of not divulging the plot

I as far as can be learned, "Parlor, Bed

Xctv York. Dec. 29. 'Approval of
Prisldent Wilson's trip to Et/rupc
and of Ills plans for a League of Na
tions w/ts expressed® by Willluni
Mownril Taft in art atl/ircst yester
! day under the auspices of.the Brook
l\n Institute of -Yrts and Sdcnccu.
He asserted that ilie, President haii

' people' of England and tho oilier
; allic.t "than their own princes" ami
attributed Hits Io his enunciation of
tho principles for which the United
J States entered the war. und of the*
League of Nations propositi.

Taft added thai the problem re

A FOUNTAIN'S A
FOUNTAIN FOR THAT
[ CQgdnuod in.ui First I'agt-.l
made by olticials explaining where it
'had been taken.
After a patient wait until the n• w
year was almost here, folks began to
grow uneasy and were fearing that
perhaps tho Weiser fountain was to
suffer lite same fate that tlie famous
Donato statuary "Tito Dance of
Eternal Spring," bus endured, —to lie
buried in a far and darkened corner
in a great warehouse, carefully hid
den from view in a large box.
But the story of the Weiser foun
tain is not quite as unfortunate a
tale to tell.
In May it was taken to the marble
yards of I. B. Dickinson for some
nedessary repairs. In Junb, Mr. Dick
inson explained, some of his best
workmen came within the draft rul
ing on nonessential occupations and
left his employ to secure positions
with contractors or in Industrial
plants, and with a serious labor
shortage and much work to do, the
fountain could not lie repaired.
But it is still at the place and Mr.
Dickinson has assured city officials
that I;o will complete the* repairs now
.and will have it ready for use in the
early spring.
t'ity Commissioner E.' Z. Gross,
'who arranged for the repairs, said
he had been speaking to Mr. Dickin
son occasionally about tlie fountain,
and that lie expected it would be
ready to lie put back in place curly
next year,—in fact as soon as wheth
er conditions permit.
It was explained by Commissioner i
[Gross that a larger opening was
necessary for the drainage pipes,
[much trouble had been experienced
■in keeping them open. When litis
work is finished the fountain can lie
used again. In the past when the
drainage openings became filled with
leaves or pebbles which youngsters
[threw into tho fountain, the water
j Hooded part of the park.
