It taised the movies to the states of an induetty. In a three-part series, Bob Thomas reviews the facts and legends concerning the film.) By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD UP Three old friends met in the MGM commis.

sary for lunch. The last time they had all been together was 40 years ago when they appeared in "The Birth of a Nation." One was Lillian Gish, as sweetfaced as when she played Elsie Stoneman in the W. Griffith classic. One of the original stars at MGM, she had returned for the first time in 26 years to play in "'The Cobweb." Another was Mae Marsh, who scored as Flora, the little sister in "'The Brith. of a Nation." Still a lovely woman, she has remained active in films.

She hadn't been on the MGM lot since 1918. The third member was Donald Crisp, London-born Oscar winner "How Green was My Valley" and reputed to be fabulously wealthy, A filinister since 1909, he played U. S. Grant in "Birth." The trio talked about their early days in flims Mostly they spoke of: Birth of a Nation," which had changed their lives as well as the course of the Industry. All went on to stardom.

"I remember that pitched in on the picture," said Miss Marsh. "I counted Mr. Griffith's right-hand man Bobby Herron in the picture five times as a Southerner, a' Northerner, a renegade and so forth. I was even in a cheering crowd at the end. after I had died in the picture, It' was like that: We were stars one day and extras the next." "Tut said Crisp.

"We were never extras. We were stars." "Not on' your countered Miss Gish. "Those of 'us from the stage didn't want star billing. It was a disgrace ohave it known we; went working in the They had one thing in common: New Orleans. Born in Dallas Tex.

They had no top covering the wind on the river was like the blast from a furnace; and marsh mosquitoes were thick in the air.

Memo on Taxes Sounds Like Politican Talking for the Record A news item this week reports that one of America's two top nalabor unions, the C.

I. 0. (Congress of Industrial Orgar'2ations), has: 1. Denounced the "growing menace" of sales taxes. 2.

Called on its members to fight to abolish all sales taxes. 3. Urged local government to meet its financial needs from property and income taxes. This pontifical message is strictly for the birds. The C.

I. 0. top brass are in this instance doing precisely rat a senator or congressman does when he reels off some bombastic piece of nonsense on Capitol Hill making big talk for the record when in reality he never hit a lick. So it is with this high-sounding announcement from the national leadership of the C. I.

O. Arkansas had a showdown fight last month on the proposition of reforming and equalizing our property assessment system-but if anyone connected with the C. I. O. ever said or wrote anything favorable to Proposed Amendment 43 I missed it completely.

Furthermore, people who are as politically smart as the C. I. 0. national leaders claim to be knew that public mention of the matter by the campaigners last summer something had to be done to brace up the property tax ture if we were to avoid a fight to increase the state sales tax. Eveni so, the C.

I. O. laid off Amendment 4 in poisonous silence. So you have my permission to dismiss this high-sounding pronouncement about local gogernment and taxes as hog -wash. The C.

I. O. isn't any more interested in seeing justice done about taxes than the corporations arepossibly because high-paid top-level union chiefs have more in common with the corporations, property-wise, than' they have with the working people who are the special target sales taxes on food and Talent Night Nets School PTA $162.83 The annual P.
