DW GRIFFITH THE ADVENTURES OF DOLLIE 1908 DW GRIFFITH BY IRA GALLEN It was an era that laid the foundation upon which was built the Golden Age of Cinema; an era whose development and advancement of the moving picture as an art form was inextricably tied to one man's creative and innovative genius. The man's name is D. W. Griffith--David Wark Griffith--and his story is that of the period between 1908 and 1913 when he created a method of storytelling in purely cinematic terms that was to raise the moving picture permanently out of the category of a scientific curiosity. This he did by the use of techniques that broke precedents and created a vocabulary of visual devices for the emergence of film as art as well as by the development of a stock company of actors and actresses with him at the American Mutuscope and Biograph Company in New York, who would later emerge as some of the greatest individual talents during the glory years of the Golden Age David Wark Griffith's film creation, THE BIRTH OF A NATION, was to make history and achieve immortality when released in 1914. With THE BIRTH, Griffith was to bring together the words "art" and "film" as a permanent equation for the first time. Only five years after his initial explorations into the then crude world of moving picture images, his epic, THE BIRTH, was both an historical creation as well as a history making event in its own right. The American artist, whom the world would come to recognize simply as D.W. Griffith, became as much a household name as any of his creations on film, and for him the status of "genius" was to be given; a father figure in the birth of film art. To describe "genius" in finite terms as it applies to the methods of D.W. Griffith is to seek after that which is beyond precise definition. He felt degraded by motion pictures and therefore sought to raise the level of the medium by breaking all of the conventions and existing practices of filmmaking as they then existed. Despite the overwhelming importance of D.W. Griffith to the development of cinema art; his name, his work and the work of those who helped him create his moving pictures have become a generally unknown commodity amongst the American public. http://www.YouTube.com/DIRECTORSSERIES http://www.YouTube.com/THEATRECORNER http://www.YouTube.com/IRARONA http://www.YouTube.com/TVNETWORKS http://www.YOUTUBE.com/TVDAYS http://www.tvdays.com (400 DVD TITLES) Tags: DWGRIFFITH GRIFFITH BIOGRAPHFILMS ADVENTURES OF DOLLIE THEADVENTURESOFDOLLIE |

DW GRIFFITH THE BATTLE 1910 The Battle 1911 Charles Hill Mailes, Robert Harron ,Blanche Sweet, Charles H. West, Spottiswood Aitken, Donald Crisp,. Lionel Barrymore. Billy Bitzer -Cinematographer Summary: Even before the "The Birth Of A Nation", Griffith had a reputation for being creative, imaginative and stubborn. Conflicts with Biograph management were common place. "The Battle" featured a large cast, elaborate costumes and expensive production elements. A civil war battle is seen raging. "The Boy" is stricken by cowardice and seeks concealment from "The Girl". She appears unconcerned that her house is in the midst of a raging gunfight and throws him out! Circumstance and the long arm of coincidence help turn "The Boy" into the hero of the day when he helps an ammunition wagon get through the Southern lines. http://www.YouTube.com/DIRECTORSSERIES http://www.YouTube.com/THEATRECORNER http://www.YouTube.com/IRARONA http://www.YouTube.com/TVNETWORKS http://www.YouTube.com/TVDAYS http://www.tvdays.com (400 DVD TITLES ) DW GRIFFITH AT BIOGRAPH BY IRA H. GALLEN Upon their return to New York City in 1907 David and Linda Griffith were broke and in search of work in the theatre area in New York. Their searching was a futile effort, however; the theatrical season was an unusually slow one and the jobs were not frequently to be found. In their traveling trunk was stuffed unsold manuscripts, one act plays and full-length dramas, short stories and poems along with his meager items that had been sold; a short poem entitled "The Wild Duck", and a play, "The Fool And The Girl", which had opened and closed with little notice and even less success. Their spirits were not raised nor a smile loosened by the prospect of a future with no writing sales foreseeable and a dead theatrical season. Yet each day found Griffith devising fresh plots and working on variations of existing ones. But each morning, as he faced his writing, he also had to face the fact that he was a failure. He was as poor as he had been in his early acting days, but now he was no longer a vagabond; he was in his thirties and he was married. Linda was a perfect wife; she would stand by her husband now as she had done before, without questioning. They spoke of better times that lay ahead and dreamt the old dreams of the glory and money he would make from his writing. He sold a play once and he'd do it again. The writer in him clung to his craft, but the mature man knew that other action was necessary. Tags: griffith thebattle dwgriffith biograph biographfilms civilwar |

Griffith - Screenwriter Billy Bitzer - Cinematographer Summary: Lillian Gish is the star of this drama, about a blockhouse under siege by marauding Indians, until the cavalry arrives at the nick of time. Griffith believed this to be the best film he had done up to that time, and it was one of his most popular two-reelers, as well as one that pointed the way towards the large spic productions like The Birth of a Nation, that would follow. http://www.YouTube.com/DIRECTORSSERIES http://www.YouTube.com/THEATRECORNER http://www.YouTube.com/IRARONA http://www.YouTube.com/TVNETWORKS http://www.Youtube.com/TVDAYS http://www.TVDAYS.com (400 DVD TITLES FOR SALE) DW GRIFFITH AT BIOGRAPH BY IRA H.

All three are being made at the same time, each one was different and highly involved in scope and production value. They're made with the same cunning he used in his other battles with the front office. The question on the audiences lips was now reaching across all class boundaries; the D.W. Griffith method riveted them in their seats or had them sitting up on the edge of the seats, awaiting the outcome. Moving picture audiences were now coming to feel as well as see the stories on the nickelodeon or movie parlor screens in front of them. Griffith's acting company would soon be operating in such a fashion as to be completely independent of any one actress or actor. Each category of character was staffed in depth by Griffith. He had the practice of alternating casts which kept any one player from becoming too important. This kept them from knowing their importance with the public for a period of better than three years. In this fashion, salaries were kept quite low. Moving pictures were still produced in a highly improvised manner. Griffith would never be found using a shooting script of any sort which outlined the action. The synopsis was carried in his head. If one scenic background that was called for in the story was unavailable, he changed the background and altered the story to fit. Production problems as well as the continuity of the story that was being shot were also kept in Griffith's head. What makes it all work was that those who stayed on to learn and work with Griffith soon became a permanent part of his stock company and assisted him in his decisions as well as in carrying out his orders. Whenever an actor or actress was not actually appearing in a story, they might be seen in the background, working on a Griffith errand or carrying a prop.

GALLEN. He was already thirty-three years old when he began with the Biograph Company. He was born in Crestwood, Kentucky, on January 22, 1815, the son of Jacob Wark Griffith, a former colonel in the Army of the Confederacy. The Civil War was a decade past when he was born; yet his family, his home and the entire social and cultural atmosphere of the Confederacy were to help shape the man who would become the father of all moving picture making. His deep chest and his articulate, compelling voice, complete with a touch of the Southern accent, completed the portrait of a logical and very rational mind. His first and last ambition, until fate would turn his attention into picture, was to be a writer, a dream that he had nurtured since he was six years old. His Southern background, aided and abetted by his father's military career, added a martial air to Griffith's character, but with the war but a memory, he turned himself to more scholarly pursuits. He dreamed of becoming a great literary figure, a dream that was to turn more specifically to the interest of becoming a dramatist. In furtherance of this goal, he started acting to better his feel of and for the theatre. Griffith was very young when his father passed away; with the family wealth also gone, he looked for work along with the other able members of his family. Jobs ranged from the indignity of a wire elevator operator to the somewhat more refined status as a salesman for Encyclopedia Britannica; but eventually his interests would join hands with economic need and Griffith turned to acting. But survival as an actor meant that he would dig ditches and pick hops among other odd jobs to survive the periods of unemployment that are so characteristic of theatre work. During this time in his life, free moments were spent reading, writing and in dreaming of goals yet unachieved. Griffith was a dreamer; when it came to his future, he had an ego matching his confidence in himself and his future. His dreams and attitudes brought LINDA ARVIDSON into his life. They were traveling together in a road show company and she was taken up in the Griffith personality and dreams. She shared his dreams and wanted to develop with him. After they had been married for two years, a time of continued traveling with theatre troupes, finds them back in New York City. Even as a youth, Griffith seemed an unlikely candidate for marriage. Within him there was that certain something that rendered him larger than the conventional concept of marriage seemed to require. Yet now he's married and new responsibilities goaded old ambitions.

DW GRIFFITH THE SUNBEAM 1911 The Sunbeam 1912 Cast: Gerald Griffin, Mabel Taliaferro, Warner Anderson, Raymond McKee, Claire McDowell Ynez Seabury Dell Henderson Kate Bruce ,George Hennessy - Screenwriter Billy Bitzer - Cinematographer Summary: Gerald Griffin plays Stephen Rutherford, is a wealthy, crotchety old man who disowned his son for marrying a poor girl. His son has since passed on, and he still refuses to acknowledge his wife Prue (Mabel Taliaferro) or their grandson Bobby (Warner Anderson), even though Prue works at Rutherford's own candy factory, bringing some happiness to the other workers there. She gets involved with Danny O'Maddigan (Raymond McKee), a reformed criminal whom she is helping to keep out of trouble. Prue and Bobby are out walking when he is run over by a vehicle owned by the Rutherford factory, and he is brought to the old man's home, where he takes a liking to the boy without ever realizing it is his grandson. Grandfather, daughter-in-law, and grandsonare reconciled but Danny has now gotten into trouble for pilfering $10 from the receipts to pay for his grandmother's 75th birthday party -- in the process, his former criminal associates steal the rest of the receipts, and Danny is blamed for the entire burglary. Rutherford, his heart softened by his reconciliation with Prue and Bobby, learns that Prue is in love with him and helps him beat the charges, and Danny is released so that he can marry Prue. DW GRIFFITH AT Stories ranged from the pedantic to the brilliant, centering around the era that was growing out of the Age of Innocence. In each of these films, there was some experiment, however insignificant. A light effect that enhanced the setting and mood of a living room. A group of men on horses galloping down the road, after a pan shot revealed the road. Any small touch like this made a film remarkable for this period of time. The TRACKING SHOT, the CLOSE UP, the HIGH ANGLE, the FLASHBACK, the INSERT; SPECIAL LIGHTING EFFECTS, MASKING SCENES, FADES and DISSOLVES. The whole gamut was there but nobody was picking up the tools with which to create. As of yet, there was no one who knew how. His cameraman, Billy Bitzer, would arrive at some of these effects either independently or on occasion, accidentally. At other time, effects would be taken, whether consciously or unconsciously, from the productions of other directors, American as well as European. Griffith would use his tools with intelligence and sometimes genius; the Griffith method was taking on a shape. From the studio base of operations at the Biograph Co., Griffith took his cast and crew out of the set; he continuously broadened his selection of locations. He took his stories to Little Falls, Fort Lee, Cliffside, Atlantic Highlands, Coytsville, Shadyside and Hoboken; all in New Jersey, as well as Sound Beach, Conn. His stories were a menage of mystery, drama, love, hate, family life, love relationships, mountain and western adventures and comedies. In the development of his cinematic repertory company, Griffith had access not only to heroes and heroines, but also to character actors and actresses as well as children so as to facilitate whatever the cast needs for a particular story might be. Because the cast members were mostly young and eager to prove themselves, Griffith was able to encourage some healthy rivalry for his benefit.

His Southern background, aided and abetted by his father's military career, added a martial air to Griffith's character, but with the war but a memory, he turned himself to more scholarly pursuits. He dreamed of becoming a great literary figure, a dream that was to turn more specifically to the interest of becoming a dramatist. In furtherance of this goal, he started acting to better his feel of and for the theatre. Griffith was very young when his father passed away; with the family wealth also gone, he looked for work along with the other able members of his family. Jobs ranged from the indignity of a wire elevator operator to the somewhat more refined status as a salesman for Encyclopedia Britannica; but eventually his interests would join hands with economic need and Griffith turned to acting. But survival as an actor meant that he would dig ditches and pick hops among other odd jobs to survive the periods of unemployment that are so characteristic of theatre work. During this time in his life, free moments were spent reading, writing and in dreaming of goals yet unachieved. Griffith was a dreamer; when it came to his future, he had an ego matching his confidence in himself and his future. His dreams and attitudes brought LINDA ARVIDSON into his life. They were traveling together in a road show company and she was taken up in the Griffith personality and dreams. She shared his dreams and wanted to develop with him. After they had been married for two years, a time of continued traveling with theatre troupes, finds them back in New York City. Even as a youth, Griffith seemed an unlikely candidate for marriage. Within him there was that certain something that rendered him larger than the conventional concept of marriage seemed to require. Yet now he's married and new responsibilities goaded old ambitions.

GALLEN Upon their return to New York City in 1907 David and Linda Griffith were broke and in search of work in the theatre area in New York. Their searching was a futile effort, however; the theatrical season was an unusually slow one and the jobs were not frequently to be found. In their traveling trunk was stuffed unsold manuscripts, one act plays and full-length dramas, short stories and poems along with his meager items that had been sold; a short poem entitled "The Wild Duck", and a play, "The Fool And The Girl", which had opened and closed with little notice and even less success. Their spirits were not raised nor a smile loosened by the prospect of a future with no writing sales foreseeable and a dead theatrical season. Yet each day found Griffith devising fresh plots and working on variations of existing ones. But each morning, as he faced his writing, he also had to face the fact that he was a failure. He was as poor as he had been in his early acting days, but now he was no longer a vagabond; he was in his thirties and he was married. Linda was a perfect wife; she would stand by her husband now as she had done before, without questioning. They spoke of better times that lay ahead and dreamt the old dreams of the glory and money he would make from his writing. He sold a play once and he'd do it again. The writer in him clung to his craft, but the mature man knew that other action was necessary. Tags: dwgriffith battles civilwar biograph biographfilms griffith |
