“THE educational VAIATE OF
.MODERN .MOTION
PTCTUUE.S”
Motion pictures of to-day have a
veiy great educational value. The
theatre furnishes clean and whole
some amusement for your children as
well as the adults. In the.se places
of amusement children can see and
hear things which otherwise would
be im.possible. They see animals of
the entire world, which indeed in
terests them. They see street pa
rades of a high-grade. They hear
music that is pleasing and agreeable
to the ear, therefore cultivating the
ear to a very high degree, and at
the same time enabling the per.son
to enjoy the picture at a greater ad
vantage. It gives the picture more
charm and relieves the mind from
troubles and difficulties of every-day
life.
The m'otion picture industry itself
JS a great advantage in many ways.
Employment is provided for thou
sands of people who, otherwise would
not be interested in any particular
thing that is worth while. It pro
vides a thinking field for everyone
employed therein. Prom the highest
paid director to the lowest scaled
laboratory worker. Intelligence is in
demand.
There is not a picture made that
there is not some good: stroke of
genius or incentive influence therein.
There is of course a certain type of
picture that we are given to believe
has caused some wrong thinking
among the growing generation, but
to my mind the field for wrong
thought was probably very fertile
even before seeing the picture. The
modern picture teaches social habits
to the public, that have proved to
be beneficial. News from every cor-
nes of the earth is brought to your
home theatre, thus making it possible,
through the medium of the screen, to
see to the uttermost ends of the earth
while sitting comfortably in your
own theatre.. This is made possible
by the news reel.
Through the taking and develop
ing of pictures many entirely new
angles of chemistry and photography
have been discovered that might have
otherwise lain dormant for years.
The recent discovery of the harm
ful effect of studio lights on the hu
man eye (re Kliegl Eye) has led to
the discovery of the cause and a
P0.ssible cure or prevention of other
forms of blindness.
Historic events recorded on the
screen and then projected for the
»enefit of those studying that cer
tain period Of history leads itself
greatly to the complete understand
mg of the facts regarding that
period.
The seriousness of bad habits can
he revealed to the young people in
a way that naturally causes them
to shun that very thing whenever
they might come in contact with it.
The motion picture gives an excel
lent lesson in punctuation and read
ing If the observer should prefer
studying it. The correct forms of
letter writing and the use of tele
firram is also taught.
By way of the moving picture pro
jector excellent plays and stories are
put into the reach of everyone while
if the Industry did not survive this
would be Impossible. For instance;
A picture whose production cost
«11,000 can be seen by any individual
or the minimum cost of about twenty
or thirty cents.
These are some of the reasons mov
ing pictures flourish and succeed as
they do.
In a discussion of improvements in
transportation, Grace Walser said
that a few summers ago, it required
her and her grand mother a day to
make the trip to Lexington in a
horse.
Casey bought out a livery stable,
and had a sign painted, representing
a man on a mule. Soon his friend '
Finnegan, came by. . The following
conversation foilowed:
Casey How do you like my pic
ture, Finnegan?
Finnegan—It’s a dum good picture
of you, but who in heck is de fellow
on your back?
