"There is no reason why so called educational films cannot contain a little heart action, a little throb, that will quicken human interest.

— Rev. Phillips E. Osgood St. Mark's Church Minneapolis, Minn.
Thus Rev. William E. Clark, of the Unitarian Church, of Memphis, introduced the picturization of Barrie's ""Little Minister" about to be shown his congregation on the screen.
After conducting brief devotional services Dr. Clark stated, in addressing his congregation that, personally, he would like to see all the theaters opened on Sunday, because he did not believe •God is angry when people laugh.

Vengeance is now his via the unholy medium of the Green Goddess, an unpleasant sort of person, whose image displays many miscellaneous pairs of arms growing at random out of her body.
The Major meets with a sudden death but before dying he has succeeded in sending out an S.O.S. for help which brings aid for the others at just the crucial second.
As for Mr. Arliss, the dictionary must be racked to find enough suitable ad
The purpose of the School Board of the Cedar City, Utah Schools in installing picture machines in the schools was to furnish a means whereby the children could be instructed and entertained in the schools, under the direction and supervision of the teachers. This move was by no means a matter of exploitation, revenue being the last consideration. Picture machines in the schools are a "big factor in the education of children because there are many educational films to be had today which teach lessons that could not be taught so effectively in any other way. For "instance, the children are given a chance to see different countries which they could never actually visit ; and many factories and plants, where they can actually see the manufacture of different articles, are brought to their very doors.
