their lives touch his they are related
by Mr.. Booth. and the most Of the char

pathos, the understanding of a problem

out any attempt at deduction. Blanche,
to our mind. Is as wonderful portrait
OF her type as we have had for many

Fondie h,mself Is also a study. but his

The book has been received with ac-

Vachel Lindsay. New York: The Mac

A classification and notation of mo-
ton picture technique. as well as q
rather enthusiastic prophecy of the part
picture dramas might play in economic
and spiritual development, by man
educated as an artist and very much
impressed by motion picture art posi-
biiities.
Mr.. Lindsay analyses the photoplay
in very critical way, dividing produce
lions into pictures of action, or In
cific examples OF the sort of pictures
he means in this classification.
The author discusses and analyses
photoplays that are well known as eX-
amples OF the types he means. thus
among the average photoplay patrons
a knowledge of technique and an
ability to analyze film production.
