The Social Aspect Of the Motion
 Picture

The social aspect of the motion pie ture and it's theatre is a. subject so big that to do more than outline it in an hours time will be impossible Let me then sketch in= brief the most sa- lent features of the motion picture theatre of today before seize the tally interested affords me to outline, of tomorrow.
 The motion picture. theatre is the modern form of the folk theatre, and as such is full of significance to the coming generations. With this motion picture theatre has come a new pro- cess of education, supplementary to and transcending the public school and the library, a process which out not only to the masses but to the best and most cultured classes. Men of education and social training are fast recognizing and claiming it's powerful assistance without yet having evolved the perfect method of it's application
 SUCCESS PHENOMENA.
 Startling in it's introduction, sen sationa1 in it's early appeal. it's value was quickly exploited by the men whose interest was solely commercial and who, having had no special train ing, did their best according to their light. Their success has been pfle- nomenal and not undeserVed, and the best of their achievement will remain but we must have more than commer- cia1 interest if the motion picture, in it's present and future development, is

QUALITY OF FEELING.

The enrolling difference between
one man and another-between one
animal and another-is precisely in
this, that one feels more than an
other. If we were sponges, perhaps
sensation might not be easily got for
us; if we we're earthworms, liable at
every instant to be cut in two by
the spade, perhaps too much sensa-
ton might not be good for us. But
being human creatures, it is good
for US; nay, We are only human in
SO far as we are sensitive, and our
honor is precisely in proportion to
our passion.-Ruskin.

JOHN HANCOCK in HISTORY.

Very little has ever been written
concerning the life of John Han
cock, the first signer Of the Declara-
ton of Independence, and the rea-
son is disclosed in the newly pub
lshed biography by Lorenz Sears.
Hancock left no descendants. His
mismanagement of the funds of Har-
ward college placed his name under
a heavy cloud, and, although the ma
terials for a biography were once col
'iected, they we're purchased for a
thousand dollars and suppressed.
Hancock was the first aristocrat of
Boston to join the revolutionary par
ty. He was often chairman of lib
erty meetings; he was a member of
the great and general court, deputy
to the provincial congresses and pre-
siding officer; also deputy to the con-
tinental congress and for two and a
half years its president; the first gov
ernor of the commonwealth Of Mas
sachusetts and ten times reelected.
