DeMille wanted John Wayne for the second lead in Northwest Mounted Police but Duke remembering how DeMille had treated him when casting the Plainsman turned him down.

Hi
An interesting article summing up quite succinctly I think what Ford was all about. There is a point that a director make a film from a script scripted from a story and therefore is constrained to a certain extent with the material that he is given.
In an article that I wrote for the Big Trail and which I later included on one of our sites, I argued that John Wayne was not a cold blooded killer in western films killing thousands of Indians.
That instead the reverse was the case and the number very small, in fact in one film She Wore A Yellow Ribbon in the entire film he never drew his gun let alone fire it.
As for the Birth of a Nation Ford was a fledgling actor and probably did as he was told.
His attempts to make sure that the Navajos were employed and paid quite well whenever he shot in Monument Valley showed a lack of racism.

Hi Carl
Ditto and then an episode of Gunsmoke, I'm not a great fan of Gunsmoke but it was a reasonable episode.

Hi
As the article points out and if you read Lawrence I couldn't imagine Wayne touching the part with a barge pole. In real life Lawrence was effeminate and weak.
His later troubles when he opted out to joinr the RAF under an assumed name and his ultimate death in a motor accident brought forth the legend but it was based on marsy ground.
