To day of the month, this D.W. D. W. Griffith epic poem is the lone talking-picture attempt to encapsulate the full life of Ibrahim Abraham Lincoln, from cradle to sculpt. The book, credit to Sir Leslie Stephen Vincent Stephen Vincent Benet, pull off to include all the familiar high point, include Abraham Lincoln’s tragical love affair with Ann John Rutledge (Una Merkel, allegedly project because of her resemblance to D. W. Griffith favourite Lillian Lillian Gish), his attorney years in Prairie State, his combative matrimony to Virgin Mary Sir Alexander Robertus Todd (Kay Hammond), his heartbreaking determination to declare war upon the South, his pardoning of a condemned lookout during the Civil War, and his character assassination at the custody of toilet John Wilkes Booth (expansively portray by Ian Keith).
