 FACT: Griffith is shown to be making a short western in New York in  1914. It is a very cloudy and overcast day. In reality, Griffith has  already moved his stock company out to California by then, plus he  would have known not to shoot on such a cloudy day (there would not  be enough light for the exposure). He also did not film any westerns  in 1914, and would have been at work on Battle of the Sexes (1914)  at this time.
