CANNOT FORETELL
FUTURE OF FILMS
So Says Man Who Was in Business
When it Was Considered
Foolish Fad.
POSSIBILITIES ARE UNLIMITED

If fourteen years in the photoplay

with authority on its development,
then word from Harry Harvey,
the Balboa director. is not amiss.
He served his apprenticeship with
the first company that made pictures
on cards which were turned through
machine to get the effect Of mo-.
ton.
"At that time" says Mr. Harvey, I'VE
all thought that moving pictures were
merely a fad that would be short-lived
But few years later the strip photo

itations Of the card photography.
First Films short.
Tho first filmed pictures were Of com
paratively short lengths. such as showing
a passing train. or running horse or any
thing portraying extreme action. Grad
ualiy little situations were enacted before
the camera, and now we have them
stretched out into continued stories that
require score OF more Of reels to tell
'1n those early days the widest I'm
agination never conceived of cinemato-
graphic expression as we have It today.
And in the same way / do not believe it
possible to forsee what the future has in
store for screen art.
Possibilities Unlimited.
"1n a general way screen are is most
plastic and almost unlimited as to it's
possibilities, but no ono can prophesy the
eventual outcome. OF one thing I am
sure. and that is that in the years to
come the creakiness viii be eliminated
from photoplays. More attention will be
given to detail, and we win ultimately
have film drama that approximates the
expressiyeness OF the legitimate stage"
The expressions of Mr.. Harvey are re-
