Way Down East Review Praises Mastery and Emotion
A historical critique lauds D. W. Griffith's Way Down East as a masterful moving picture blending piety with real life. It highlights Lilian Gish as most moving in the baptism scene, strong supporting turns by Sherman and Bathellmess, and a vivid New England setting with authentic snow and river scenes. The piece notes clean humor, eloquent performances, and that daily matinees at Park run through Thursday with a 20 piece orchestra.
