Summary
Way Down East,' which in many people's opinion, is still Griffith's best picture, will be shown at the Coronet commencing tomorrow, for a short season only. The two films show entirely different aspects of the producer's genius. 'Orphans of the Storm' is a strong drama. 'Way Down East' has the biggest 'thrill' in pictures in the last act. Lilian Gish appears in both the pictures.
