D.W. Sound





(Griffith) had enormous vitality and was very interested in the possibilities of sound. In the factory sequences, Griffith tried an experiment: reflected sound. He set up these huge bowls that were eight feet in diameter and put a microphone in the center.

- Joseph Ruttenberg, 
cinematographer on Griffith's The Struggle, 1931
