following:
The moving picture as vehicle OF
transmitting dramatic expression has
extraordinary possibilities" he said,
"inasmuch as the instrument OF the
camera makes it possible to photo
graph thought. While It Is true that
the speaking augments the work Of
the actor by the aid Of the voice and
sustained action on one plane. the
motion picture makes 1t possible to
get more intimate angle OF the
workings of the mind.
Although the sweep OF the thing Is
different, II Is possible to interest
vast number of people through the
power of concentrated thought. and
there is therefore greater possibil-
ity of rapport between the actor and
the enormous audiences that can fol-
low his emotional reactions. The
realization of this quality of the pic
lures Is greater every day. Then. too.
the pictorial element OF the motion
picture offers opportunities for ef-
fects which are vaster tnan those OF
