Scott Lord Silent Film: The Invaders (Ince, 1912)
Silent Film
Having directed "The Indian Massacre" and Across the Plains" the year before, Thomas Ince during 1012 directed the films "The Invaders" (three reels) starring its co-director Francis Ford and Ethel Grandin and "Custer's Last Fight" (three reels) for the New York Motion Picture Company and "Shadows of the Past" for the Vitagraph Company of America.
It is often acknowledged that Thomas Ince was the first director to use a shooting script. These were detailed shooting scripts, known to be meticulous in their planning, where plotline would emerge as having precedence over action and spectacle.
Author Kenneth MacGowan notes that Thomas Ince "strove for theatric effect", but only with scripts that were "direct and tight" and used intertitles to advance character action dramatically relating to events as a technique of exposition.

The Politicians Love Story is a brialliant, early example of reverse screen direction, using diagnol framing to depict perspective.
Linda Arvidson, wife of director D.W. Griffith chronicled having known Mack Sennett in her autobiography "When Movies Were Young", " 'The Curtain Pole' and 'The Politicians Love Story' started the grumbling young Mack Sennett on the road to fame and fortune. Like the grouchy poker player who kicks himself into financial recuperation,Mack Sennett grouched himself into success." Silent Film D.W. GriffithD Biograph Film Company

Danish Silent Film "Mormonens Offer" (A Victim of the Mormens) starring Valdemer Psilander and Clara Wieth (Clara Pontipoppidan) was written by Alfred Kjerulf and directed by August Blom. It is not only a suspense thriller typical of the Danish genre, but was controversial for its anti-religious message or perhaps propaganda. Author Peter Cowie relates that Valdemar Psilander frequently appeared under the direction of August Blom and had become a "household name" in Europe before haing a heart attack at the age of thirty three.
Peter Cowie, in his volume Scandinavian Cinema, looks to the historiography of the film by noting that Ron Mottram had analyyzed the films made by August Blom when most prolific, between 1910-1914. Cowie writes, "Mottram also emphasizes the audacity of Blom's approach to his subject matter...he paints a lurid picture of the perils awaiting those who succomb to the blandishments of 'The Church of the Latter Day Saints'."

Biographer John Drinkwater, in his volume The Life and Adventures of Carl Laemmle perfunctorily puts the career of Thomas Ince into its historical perspective, "Ince died in 1924, before his time,". Writing on the death of Thomas Ince during 1925,the periodical Exhibitor's Trade Review waxed poetic, "He loved the clean, the beautiful, the sublime. He embellished and ornamented everything he touched. But he yet held the life trend true in its course and in that relation opened wide the way for the higher and grander conception of the Screen are to obtain in the future through the work of kindred spirits who will find inspiration and encouragement in the bigger and nobler accomplishements which the devoted his useful years.
Thomas Ince as a producer had formed the Triangle Film Corporation with D.W. Griffith and Mack Sennet during 1915, with him leaving to First National by 1917, joined there by D.W. Griffith in 1919.Exhibitor's Herald during 1924 reported a new stage having been built for Ince's selection of directors, its dimensions seventy two by one hundred and eighty feet.
