With an uncanny contrast that ultimate picture of defeat breaks in where victory seems most glorious; and five seconds later the story of youth and rapture streams on.

Again we see the course of the natural events remolded by the power of the mind.

The theater can picture only how the real occurrences might follow one another; the photoplay can overcome the interval of the future as well as the interval of the past and slip the day twenty years hence between this minute and the next.

In short, it can act as our imagination acts.

It has the mobility of our ideas which are not controlled by the physical necessity of outer events but by the psychological laws for the association of ideas.
