Lot 4646
D.W. Griffith's Birth of A Nation. Lot of five pieces related to Griffith's most controversial film. Three newspaper photos clipped depict scenes from Birth of A Nation and one article gives an outline of Griffith's background and dedication to his craft "…he is known in every part of the civilized globe and in many sections that are only partly civilized." Also included is a program from the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia which gives a synopsis, cast of characters and the "Play's Message of Peace." Although this was a groundbreaking film and highly controversial (probably even more so today than when it was released), there is little contemporary ephemera available.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
