D. W. Griff ith
Forms New
Company
DAVID WARK GRIFFITH is at the
bead of a " new organisation to . be
known as D. W. Griffith, Inc.. which has
been granted a charter by the Maryland
state. tax commission, with a capitalisa
tion of $30,000,000. The new company is
to be an expansion of Griffith's present
producing activities. It will produce pic
tures, dispose of films and carry on a
regular business of theatrical ' produc
tion, concerts, vaudeville and - grand
opera. The new company, will cover
every end of the theatrical business with
the exception of operating theatres, and
tlfereby hangs a tale.
Griffith emphatically denies that he is
the purchaser of a theatre in Baltimore
or any other theatre. He says the phrase
"buyer, seller and operator of motion
pictures" is misleading. In a "statement
to Louella O. Parsons of the New York
Telegraph. Griffith said :
-"I never have been and never expect
to be -interested in buying or operating
theatres, or in taking' any other step that
would give me the control of the exhibi
tion of motion pictures. I have always
been and always expect to be a producer
of photo-plays and not an exhibitor of
them, except at such times as I may wish
to. have personal control of .the exhibiting
of one of my own productions, with spe
cial music, staging and features. ,
1 "Large funds are necessary to make
motion pictures now. The upward trend
of - alt A costs In the more elaborate
technique of modern photo-play demands
much capital. I have, however, stead
fastly refused repeated offers of financ
ing by great financial interests because
I do not wish them to have controlling
authority in the nature of my produc
tions. - ; -: -' . .. .
"My purpose in this new organization
Is to have the American public rather
than a few rich men, share ia the profits
from my productions. To achieve this
stock will be sold to the general public"
The financing of D. W. Griffith, incor
porated, has been accomplished- through
the banking firms of Counselman & Co.,
of 11 West Adams street, Chicago, and
Bertron, Griscom tt Co.. of . 40 Wall
street... New.. York.'- -- . . . ... . --:
The officers of the new .corporation
are D. W. Griffith, president; Albert L.
Grey, general manager; J. C. Epping,
business manager ; Albert, X Banzhaf,
general counsel. The tentative board of
directors is given as follows I Albert L.
Grey, J. C. Epping, Robert Edgar Long,
T. W. Jones. J. A. Manning and- John
Powers.-. -.'-. - ' v . ,; . ,- -v,
A part of the provisions, and one con
sidered unique in such, corporations, is
that D. W. Griffith's life Is insured for
$500,000 so long as the corporation exists.
There will be no change in the Grif
fith headquarters in New York, and the
present offices in the Longacre building
will be maintained with Albert L. Grey
in charge. .
All of the Griffith productions for the
present will . be made at the - Griffith
studios at Mamaroneck. 4 '
The news) corporation will In no way
affect Mr- Griffith's present contract
with United Artists, as the Griffith com
pany will continue to be v producing

the productions released through United

"Shakespeare has never been properly

of "The Merchant of. Venice," "Uomeo

that would prove box office successes
as welL
"At present exhibitors have put a ban
on the costume drama." says Miss Phil
lips, b" I look for It to c-ne back In
all Its glory before, long. The classics
were banned by the exhibitors at a time
when the pictures catered only to the
lower classes of amusement seekers, and
when the sensational scenes had to be
posted in the lobby in order to pull tn
customers. .
"Now with the photoplay palaces that
have been built in almost everv citv of
consequence the motion picture has come

and better stories and bigger starring
