The 34 year old D.W. Griffith smooths out the conflict between the urban poor and mainstream society in this short film by airbrushing their rules of engagement. It is out of touch with reality, proving that Griffith was a dreamer and a loner. He's romanticizing the society that he lives in, and placed a strain on his cast and crew by distancing them as a result of his self-advancing agenda. He has his own definition of beauty, and he is using it to construct the identity of the American nation. It is a preliminary sketch of his future epic, 'The Birth of a Nation', foreshadowing the weight of his destiny.
