market motion pictures fail to keep
pace with this advance, we are re-
creant in our duty to the public. More
than that, we prove ourselves lacking
in originality, feeble in creative abil-

Nothing is palmer than that, in
the view Of the better class of pic

outlived their usefulness. They have
ceased to figure conspicuously in the
drama OF real life, wen in the rough

form of physical violence seemed to
be justified by actuality, and it APP

real literary value and continue to be
