Trailblazing filmmaker (1875–1948) who directed a number of important early classics, including Intolerance (1916) and the iconic (and still-controversial) Birth of a Nation (1915). His innovative use of the fledgling medium resulted in a repertoire and vocabulary of film technique that remains influential to this day. Business check, 8.25 x 3, filled out in another hand and signed by Griffith, payable to New York Exchange for $2500, March 7, 1935. Light creasing, a small repaired tear to the top edge, small pieces of mounting remnants on the reverse, and the expected cancellation holes and a faint stamp, none of which affect the clean signature, otherwise fine condition.
