“HOLD ’EM YALE”
GRIFFITH’S DIRECTING 1 , Edward H. Griffith, who has been signed by De Mille to direct ‘Hold ’Em Yale,” with Rod La Rocque in the starring role, calls himself a “naturalist” According to this veteran film director, the mannered and sophisticated type or realism has the greatest attraction on the screen. “Of course,” says Griffith, “there are many different kinds or planes of realism, but I prefer the higher social and mannered one which presents a loftier picturisation. Tl*e artificial and the purely theatrical holds no permanent appeal.” “Hold ’Em Yale,” which will go into production in the near, future, will carry out Edward H. Griffith’s ideas of realism as prepared for the screen by George Dromgold from the stage play “At Yale” by Owen Davis.
