mental unrest, the motion pictures,
more than any other form Of amuse-
rnent. provide the counter attraction.
The eoneer. seldom appeals 10 the vast
masses; the theatre is regarded a.
function. but with the motion pictures
4 IL different Then, too, aside from
their value a. a diversion, the motion
pictures are Of insstimHbis aid In time
Of war for their practically unlimited
educational field. the manufacture OF
munitions, drilling Of troops, surgical
work. signalling. all bearing upon pre-
psiedncss.'
