But soon touching episodes were staged, little humorous scenes or melodramatic actions were played before the camera, and the same emotions stirred which up to that time only the true theater play had awakened.

The aim seemed to be to have a real substitute for the stage.

The most evident gain of this new scheme was the reduction of expenses.

One actor is now able to entertain many thousand audiences at the same time, one stage setting is sufficient to give pleasure to millions.

The theater can thus be democratized.
Everybody's purse allows him to see the greatest artists and in every village a stage can be set up and the joy of a true theater performance can be spread to the remotest corner of the lands.
