Neither does it lie in the form of the photoplay that the story must be told in that insipid, flat, uninspired fashion.

Nor is it necessary in order to reach the millions.
To appeal to the intelligence does not mean to presuppose college education.

Moreover the differentiation has already begun.

Just as the plays of Shaw or Ibsen address a different audience from that reached by the "Old Homestead" or "Ben Hur," we have already photoplays adapted to different types, and there is not the slightest reason to connect with the art of the screen an intellectual flabbiness.

It would be no gain for intellectual culture if all the reasoning were confined to the so-called instructive pictures and the photoplays were served without any intellectual salt.
