Thanks, karlakor!

@tdell1275 The music accompanying this film is Variations on a Theme of Paganini by Johannes Brahms. Brahms composed two sets of variations on this theme, each set beginning with the Paganini theme. The two sets are often played together, one after the other, with the repeat of the theme omitted at the start of the second set. In this recording, the second set of variations begins at 12:12.

@skylarandmoose I'm also a fan of Walter Miller's. It's a shame he didn't continue with Griffith.

@asianxshippox You can get it from Grapevine video, but the print is terrible in places.

Just saw a magnificently restored print of this on the big screen at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City yesterday. Unbelievably involving. MoMA presents a comprehensive Lillian Gish retrospective begun this past Friday. Fantastic. Also most interesting to see Lionel Barrymore in 1913 in several of her Griffith shorts. A big, strapping character not yet confined to a wheelchair with arthritis and an incredible actor.

What is the name of this music?

I named my daughter after her.
The silent film genre was a true artists genre, all emotion had to be conveyed with a look or gestures or setting...it was a thinking persons era. I can see why she was such a star.

Wow what a treat! Thanks for posting this classic. So sad so many were lost when the film deteriorated.
