The Educational Screen national Committee oi the V. M. C. A.,, New York City. He traced the work of the motion picture bureau from its start eleven years ago, to the present time, when there were distributed (dur- ing 1921) 34,000 reels to a combined audi- ence of 4,000,000 people. One of the chief uses of the industrial motion picture, as Mr. Zehrung sees it, is in the field of vocational guidance. Noon-hour films IK proving valuable aids in commercial houses, where they tend to broaden the outlook of the employees and show them their place in the general industrial scheme. Miss Marie Wilson of the Extension Department of the Cleveland Board of Education, outlined the experience of the department in using films in summer playgrounds as a community project. The history of the development of the educational motion picture was traced by Mrs. Elizabeth Richey Dessez of the Edu- cational Department, Pathe Company, New York City. The effect of the movies upon the de- mands made upon the library was the interesting side of the question presented by Miss Louise Prouty of the Cleveland Public Library. The libraries find them-8 selves confronted by a new influence, the! movies. Not only do children clamor fori books which have been presented in screen form, but the library must also meet al increased demand for material correJ sponding to that presented in pictures* Certain periods of history, for example, , become of interest to readers in connec-1 tion with an historical film. Travel films also lead to a study of travel books ap-1 plying to that particular part of the world. Miss Katherine Brown, of the CleveJ land School of the Theatre, discussed M most interesting phase of the general subject: Pantomime, a Screen Art. She; made clear the difference between action and pantomime, declaring that the true artist of pantomime goes beyond mere action to a deep consciousness of mean- ing and mood, and "paints his picture on , the consciousness of his audience." Discussions followed each topic, and during the two-day sessions, several ex- hibitions of better films were given. A display of equipment was one of the profitable features of the convention. M. E.
