The Art Of The Moving Picture

CHAPTER VII
13/18

The audience weighs the worth of their work to the world as the men themselves with downcast eyes seem to be doing also.

The most thrilling figure is Tolstoi in his peasant smock, coming after the bitter egotists and conquerors.

(The impersonation is by Edward Thomas.) I shall never forget that presence marching up to the throne invisible with bowed head.

This procession is to illustrate the line: "He is sifting out the hearts of men before his Judgment Seat." Later Lincoln is pictured on the steps of the White House.

It is a quaint tableau, in the spirit of the old-fashioned Rogers group.
