The Art Of The Moving Picture

BOOK I--THE GENERAL PHOTOPLAY SITUATION IN AMERICA, JANUARY 1, 1922
32/41

Putnam's Sons, New York, and Philip Lee Warner, London.

This book is certainly the greatest motion picture I ever attended.

I have gone through it several times, and it is the only book one can read twelve hours at a stretch, on the Pullman, when he is making thirty-six hour and forty-eight hour jumps from town to town.
American civilization grows more hieroglyphic every day.

The cartoons of Darling, the advertisements in the back of the magazines and on the bill-boards and in the street-cars, the acres of photographs in the Sunday newspapers, make us into a hieroglyphic civilization far nearer to Egypt than to England.

Let us then accept for our classic land, for our standard of form, the country naturally our own.
