"The Digest of the Motion Picture Industry'
CAMERA!
In assuming responsibility for the success of the, American Historical Revue and Motion Picture Exposition, more tersely referred to as the "Monroe Doctrine Centennial," the Motion Picture Industry has taken an important step towards becoming definitely and permanently identified with the civic destiny of Los Angeles. The people of this city have implicit confidence that the Industry will stage one of the most entertaining and spectacular expositions ever held in America. The entire city of Los Angeles has assumed, as a matter of course, that the Exposition will be an unqualified success if the Motion Picture Industry is back of it. This is a compliment to the Industry which should not be taken lightly by those who are at the head of affairs in Filmdom.
All great expositions are predicated upon some momentous event in history; and this one is no exception. Hence the name, "Monroe Doctrine Centennial." When President Monroe promulgated his famous doctrine Los Angeles was a sleepy little Spanish settlement completely foreign to the sturdy American republic then heroically struggling to hold aloft the banner of Liberty and Territorial Independence in the Western Hemisphere. No one living in that age, on either the Atlantic or Pacific coast, dreamed of the wonderful transformation the little City of the Angels was to undergo during the hundred years to come. And now, at the ending of the greatest century in all history, Los Angeles, grown into a world metropolis, is selected to be hostess on the momentous occasion of celebrating the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine. And immediately Los Angeles proves her confidence and faith in the Motion Picture Industry by intrusting to its leaders the full management of this historic function.
It is not necessary to add that this faith is not misplaced. The Motion Picture Industry will prove to bi* more than equal to the task.
