During 1919, D.W. Griffith directed Lillian Gish and Kate Bruce in the six reel film "A Romance of Happy Valley", photographed by G.W. Bitzer. Actress Carol Dempster also appears in the film.
One specific use of technique Griffith uses in the film 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.
