108 MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE THIS CHILD IS JUST LEARNING TO EXPRESS ITS THOUGHTS BY MEANS OP ITS FACIAL MUSCLES things and cannot help it. I wonder how many of my readers know just why that child's face is affected in that way. Again, how is it that when we see a child crying we know instantly the state of that child's feelings?
