This is not one of the works on which Griffith's great re-
putation rests. Nevertheless it is not the work of a hack.
The handling has a straightforwardness and lack of ostentation
which is expressive. The discriminating and economical comp-
osition of every scene cannot fail to impress the spectater.
We have in fact that familiar phenomenon of the movies - a re-
markable technical authority lavished on a subject-matter design-
ed for the comfort of morons. It is like most of the films of
John Ford - a beautiful piece of nothing. The simpliciity and
certainty of Griffith's technique requires a serious theme: as
it is the novelettish material constantly betrays him.
This combination of brilliant 'means' and foolish 'end' leaves
one, not as I suppose Griffith intended, with a heartening view
of the world, but with a detached aesthetic interest in manner
alone.

This is not one of the works on which Griffith's great reputation rests. Nevertheless it is not the work of a hack. The handling has a straightforwardness and lack of ostenation which is expressive. The discriminating and economical composition of every scene cannot fail to impress the spectator.
