If we read in our catalogue of paintings that a picture is called "Landscape" or "Portrait" we feel the words to be superfluous.

If we read that its title is "London Bridge in Mist" or "Portrait of the Pope" we receive a valuable suggestion which is surely not without influence on our appreciation of the picture, and yet it is not an organic part of the painting itself.

In this sense a leader as title for a scene or still better for a whole reel may be applied without any esthetic objection.

The other case which is not only possible but perfectly justified is the introduction of letters, telegrams, posters, newspaper clippings, and similar printed or written communications in a pictorial close-up the enlargement of which makes every word readable.

This scheme is more and more introduced into the plays today and the movement is in a proper direction.
