In behalf of her little folks who are so open-heartedly responding to the call, Miss Knapp requested that the ladies save their small change for the penny march at the May meeting. MUSIC BIG FEATURE OF WAY DOWN EAST The soul of D. W. Griffith is in the music played as an important part of the showing of his feature photoplay. "The Birth of a Nation," "Intolerance," "Hearts of the World," and "Broken Blossoms," all had their special scores, with some original melodies interspersed. Now "Way Down East" again accentuates the Griffith genius in fitting the music to the picture. For a week before its first showing the orchestra had long rehearsals. Griffith himself was present and he was never satisfied until the desired effect had been attained. This was not only in respect to music, but also in regard to the lighting and to the mechanical means to give impressions of realism. The music represented many thoughtful hours on his part and also some actual composition. "I consider music a handmaiden to the pictures," he declared. "I like to have some well-remembered melody to typify various characters in the picture and I think that you will recognize this in 'Way Down East.' The audience is particularly keen to catch the purse identifying Martha Perkins, the gossip old maid, and as soon as that is heard there is a laugh or a smile, for it is known that she is going to be active in her amusingly malicious way. I have had some of the tunes changed in tempo or varied in form to fit situations and, as in all other scores for my productions, you will find I do not overlook Wagner."
