The Art Of The Moving Picture

CHAPTER III
12/21

Over these I rejoiced like a yokel with a pocketful of butterscotch and peanuts.

The opportunities to laugh on a higher plane than this, to laugh like Olympians, are seldom given us in this world.
The most successful motion picture drama of the intimate type ever placed before mine eyes was Enoch Arden, produced by Cabanne.
Lillian Gish takes the part of Annie, Alfred Paget impersonates Enoch Arden, and Wallace Reid takes the part of Philip Ray.

The play is in four reels of twenty minutes each.

It should have been made into three reels by shortening every scene just a bit.

Otherwise it is satisfying, and I and my friends have watched it through many times as it has returned to Springfield.
The mood of the original poem is approximated.
