THAT. the creation and production
Of motion pictures should be re-
garded as an art rather than COM
ynercial industry is the claim Of E. A.
Dupont, the famous foreign director,
now with Universal.
'tThe industrial attitude held by the
majority of theater-goers and pro-
ducers has served its purpose" de-
clares Director Dupont. This Ameri.
can industrialism has merely brought
the motion picture world to the point
where it may be maintained as true
art"
European influence and sentiment,
with its greater appreciation of the
artistic, is showing a marked effect
upon motion picture production.
claims the former German director.
A few truly artistic pictures have
been made recently, and their sue
cess, declares Dupont, proves that the
American public is in a receptive
mood and is ready for the finer things
possible in the cinema world.
