Much luas been said in favour of, and a little less against. the cine- matograph, nothing perhaps on either side to detmet against its poloney no an educational and humanising entertaining influence. Within the short period of u genero- tion, a new art form and medium las come into being, one that is comparable in influence to the print- ing press for the communication of ideas, the newest of the arts being of course the motion picture. The! transmission of thought and senaz- tion through the oys into the mind is common to all the arts, excepti mic. The motion picture is the truly, graphic, art, and it has long since advanced from the stage of amore entertainment into ́s status where, for good or ill, it carries to nil classes of the peoples of the world, the news, the drama and (be progress of the day. In the motion- picture wo have the product, not of one mind alone, but of many minds, a condition which particularly calls | for consideration in any attempt to advance from an artistic aid from a cultural point of view. Much has been said in criticism of motion pictures, and this criticism has been "concerned with a wide range of interests, extending from the choice of subject matter to the inartistic treatment of the text by author, screen adaptor, director, producor and exhibitor. Therefore, the win development of this art rather than the condemning of it is to be com-. snended. The responsibility of the public is bound up with that of the anthor and the producer. Having
