Carol Dempster during 1918 also appeared with Dorothy Gish in the lost silent film "The Hope Chest" (Elmer Clifton)- eight films, in fact almost all, of the films made by Lillian Gish's sister, Dorothy Gish during 1918 and 1919 are presently considered lost silent films.
One specific use of technique Griffith uses in "A Romane of Happy Valley" to depict narrative is a cut back and forth within the scene to an inserted close shot to reveal the character’s thoughts of another person. Lillian Gish is seen in close up during the flashback soliloquy insert.
