The Art Of The Moving Picture

CHAPTER XIV
22/33

Forced by their limited purses, their inability to buy a Ford car, and the like, they go in their loneliness to film after film till the whole world seems to turn on a reel.

When they are again at home, they see in the dark an imaginary screen with tremendous pictures, whirling by at a horribly accelerated pace, a photoplay delirium tremens.

Faster and faster the reel turns in the back of their heads.

The non-movie-life has charms such as one never before conceived.
