The Art Of The Moving Picture

CHAPTER XI
16/24

It conveys a glitter which expresses one of the things that is meant by the phrase: Splendor Photoplay.

But for moving picture purposes it is the Bastien-Lepage Joan that should appear here, set in dramatic contrast to the Boutet de Monvel Court.

Two valuable neighbors to whom I have read this chapter suggest that the whole Boutet de Monvel illustrated child's book about our heroine could be used on this grand scale, for a background.
The Inness room at the Chicago Art Institute is another school for the meditative producer, if he would evolve his tribute to France on American soil.

Though no photoplay tableau has yet approximated the brush of Inness, why not attempt to lead Jeanne through an Inness landscape?
The Bastien-Lepage trees are in France.
