  • Lillian Gish
    Lillian Gish Lived: October 14, 1893 - February 27, 1993 Worked as: director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Mark Garrett Cooper In 1920, Lillian Gish both delivered a landmark performance in D.W. Griffith’s Way Down East and directed her sister Dorothy in Remodelling Her Husband. This was her sole director credit in a career as a screen actor that began with An Unseen Enemy in 1912 and ended with The Whales of August in 1987. Personal correspondence examined by biographer Charles Affron shows that Gish lobbied Griffith for the opportunity to direct and approached the task with enthusiasm. In 1920, in Motion Picture Magazine, however, Gish offered the following assessment of her experience: “There are people born to rule and there are people born to be subservient. I am of the latter order. I just love to be subservient, to be told what to do” (102). One might imagine that she discovered a merely personal kink. In a Photoplay interview that same year, however, she extended her opinion to encompass all women and in doing so slighted Lois Weber, one of Hollywood’s most productive directors. “I am not strong enough” to direct, Gish told Photoplay, “I doubt if any woman is. I understand now why Lois Weber was always ill after a picture” (29). What should historical criticism do with such evidence? By far the most common approach has been to argue that Gish did not really mean what the press quotes her as saying. Alley Acker, for instance, urges us not to be fooled by Gish’s “Victorian modesty” and goes on to provide evidence of her authority on the set (62).

It contains updated information through the conclusion of the 2012 campaign. Mountaineer Senior Reviews ...........................................................................................4 Highlights, honors, superlatives and fi nal statistics for the 22 Mountaineers who completed their careers in 2012. 2009 Season In Review ..................................................................................................48 Bill Stewart’s record after two years is the second-best mark among all WVU head coaches who have coached during the long and storied history of Mountaineer football. Each of his two seasons, he has totaled nine wins and led his program to a second-place fi nish in the BIG EAST Conference, a Top 25 national ranking and a bowl appearance. However, the difference between the 2008 and 2009 seasons was the Gator Bowl appearance. 2010 Season In Review ..................................................................................................56 The West Virginia football program has shown consistency during Bill Stewart's head coaching tenure. The Mountaineers fi nished with a third straight nine-win season and posted a 5-2 mark in the BIG EAST. However, in 2010, Connecticut, Pitt and West Virginia fi nished with identical league marks and each claimed a piece of the league title. That marked the sixth conference title won by West Virginia, most by any school in the league. 2011 Season In Review ..................................................................................................66 "Adversity doesn’t build character, it reveals it” – But never has a statement been more true about one group than it was about the 2011 West Virginia football program.

  • Biography of D.W. Griffith David Wark Griffith Was Born in La Grange
    Biography of D.W. Griffith David Wark Griffith was born in La Grange, Kentucky on January 22, 1875. After stints as both writer and actor of poetry and plays, Griffith first entered the motion picture industry as an actor for Edison Studios in 1907. He moved over to Biograph in 1908 for the salary of $5 a day. Griffith's work at Biograph would forever change the way movies were made. Biograph was one of the first motion picture studios in America, when films were sold outright by the foot, and not rented as they are today. Films were silent and no more than one reel in length (a running time of about 12 minutes). At a price of 10-cents a foot, the cost of a reel of film was about $100. When Griffith first came to Biograph, the studio was only selling about 20 copies of each new film and was in poor financial condition. Biograph was in pressing need of a director. The job was offered to Griffith at an increase in salary, but he was reluctant to take it. He was working steadily and was afraid that if he failed he would lose his job as an actor. Henry Marvin, founder of Biograph, assured Griffith that if he did fail as a director, his acting chores would continue. Griffith reluctantly accepted. Griffith had only a rudimentary understanding of film making. He knew that film directors were no more than sheepherders, moving the actors from one place to another on the screen. The cameraman was king. Biograph had two: Arthur Marvin, brother of Griffith’s boss, and a German immigrant named G.W.

  • Biograph Co., Production
    GUIDE TO THE BIOGRAPH COLLECTION MUSEUM OF MODERN ART DEPARTMENT OF FILM THE CELESTE BARTOS INTERNATIONAL FILM STUDY CENTER Compiled by Ronald S. Magliozzi and Alice Black Department of Film and Video Museum of Modern Art New York 1 MUSEUM OF MODERN ART DEPARTMENT OF FILM THE BIOGRAPH COLLECTION Initial processing completed December 31, 1996, by Alice Black, under the supervision of Ronald S. Magliozzi. Final arrangement and description in process from October 1999, by Ronald S. Magliozzi. As part of the Film Study Center's Special Collections, the material in the Biograph Collection has been culled from a number of sources. Catalogued together these documents trace the production history of this early American studio from its inception as the American Mutoscope Company in December 1895, through its development from the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company to the Biograph Company in the Spring of 1909. The company was formed by four men: William Kennedy Laurie Dickson, Herman Casler, Harry Norton Marvin and Elias Bernard Koopman who created and marketed their unique projection system, the Biograph. By the early 1900's the prosperity of the Biograph company posed a significant threat to the market dominated by Thomas A. Edison. A successful court challenge against Edison's powerful patent lead to the establishment of the United Film Services Protective Association to protect their interests against the exhibitors in 1907. Home to director D.W.Griffith, Biograph became one of the most successful studios of the period. The material gathered in the Biograph Collection documents the studio's early business activities as well as production practices of the later period.
