The Art Of The Moving Picture

CHAPTER XXI
10/32

Show us the gantlet of strange courtliness they must pass through before they reach one another, obstacles brought about by the immemorial distinctions of scholarship gowns or service badges.
Make a picture of a world where machinery is so highly developed it utterly disappeared long ago.

Show us the antique United States, with ivy vines upon the popular socialist churches, and weather-beaten images of socialist saints in the niches of the doors.

Show us the battered fountains, the brooding universities, the dusty libraries.

Show us houses of administration with statues of heroes in front of them and gentle banners flowing from their pinnacles.

Then paint pictures of the oldest trees of the time, and tree-revering ceremonies, with unique costumes and a special priesthood.
Show us the marriage procession, the christening, the consecration of the boy and girl to the state.
