The Art Of The Moving Picture

CHAPTER II
5/14

Weak-Hands slays Brute-Force with the startling invention.

He wins back his stolen bride, Lily-White (impersonated by Mae Marsh).

It is a Griffith masterpiece, and every actor does sound work.

The audience, mechanical Americans, fond of crawling on their stomachs to tinker their automobiles, are eager over the evolution of the first weapon from a stick to a hammer.

They are as full of curiosity as they could well be over the history of Langley or the Wright brothers.
The dire perils of the motion pictures provoke the ingenuity of the audience, not their passionate sympathy.
