An Imagist film would offer a noble challenge to the overstrained emotion, the over-loaded splendor, the mere repetition of what are at present the finest photoplays.

Now even the masterpieces are incontinent.

Except for some of the old one-reel Biographs of Griffith's beginning, there is nothing of Doric restraint from the best to the worst.

Read some of the poems of the people listed above, then imagine the same moods in the films.

Imagist photoplays would be Japanese prints taking on life, animated Japanese paintings, Pompeian mosaics in kaleidoscopic but logical succession, Beardsley drawings made into actors and scenery, Greek vase-paintings in motion.
Scarcely a photoplay but hints at the Imagists in one scene.
