It could not be asked of them that they evolve technical novelties.
Yet the figures of Aunt Jane and the Goddess of Suffrage are something new in their fashion.

Aunt Jane is a spiritual sister to that unprecedented woman, Jane Addams, who went to the Hague conference for Peace in the midst of war, which heroic action the future will not forget.

High-minded graduates of university courses in sociology and schools of philanthropy, devout readers of The Survey, The Chicago Public, The Masses, The New Republic, La Follette's, are going to advocate increasingly, their varied and sometimes contradictory causes, in films.

Then there are endowments already in existence that will no doubt be diverted to the photoplay channel.
