But this cumbersome method has been fully accepted in moving picture making and the effect indeed somewhat symbolizes the appearance and disappearance of a reminiscence.
This scheme naturally opens wide perspectives.

The skilful photoplaywright can communicate to us long scenes and complicated developments of the past in the form of such retrospective pictures.

The man who shot his best friend has not offered an explanation in the court trial which we witness.

It remains a perfect secret to the town and a mystery to the spectator; and now as the jail door closes behind him the walls of the prison fuse and melt away and we witness the scene in the little cottage where his friend secretly met his wife and how he broke in and how it all came about and how he rejected every excuse which would dishonor his home.

The whole murder story becomes embedded in the reappearance of his memory ideas.
