Each person roots by himself.

He has his own judgment, and roasts the umpire: who is the keeper of the local theatre: or the producer, as the case may be.

If these opinions of the fan can be collected and classified, an informal censorship is at once established.
The photoplay reporters can then take the enthusiasts in hand and lead them to a realization of the finer points in awarding praise and blame.
Even the sporting pages have their expert opinions with due influence on the betting odds.

Out of the work of the photoplay reporters let a superstructure of art criticism be reared in periodicals like The Century, Harper's, Scribner's, The Atlantic, The Craftsman, and the architectural magazines.

These are our natural custodians of art.
