A shortened version was reissued in 1931 featuring a prologue in which Griffith was interviewed by Walter Huston. The two had collaborated previously in "Abrahan Lincoln" in 1931.
The position and condition of the flag on the left-hand side of Lincoln's box at Ford's Theater varies between shots. In the first long shot after Elsie points out Booth, it is hanging downwards from the middle, whereas in the shots immediately before and after, it is shown draped across the front of the left-hand railing. Similarly, after Booth shoots Lincoln and jumps from the box, the flag falls to the left-hand side of the box and an audience member is later shown pulling it down twice.
Mrs. Cameron: [Northern solider is trying to keep wounded Ben's mother out of hospital]
I am going into that room to my boy. You may shoot if you want to.
Chicago American, Sunday, June 17, 1962:'WHY STARS GO BROKE'by Lee Belser**********************Silent film lover Wallace Reid went the same route. He became addicted to drugs after a head injury caused him to have violent headaches. He took narcotics to relieve the pain, but still managed to live high, wide and handsome. He was the life of numerous all-night parties and the darling of female fans everywhere. He died ill and impoverished before he was 30._____________________________________
