26 CINEMATOGRAPHIC ANNUAL between coarse, vulgar suggestions and real comedy situations; between wise-cracking, shady dialogue and genuine wit and humor. Comedy is a rare and valuable gift, both as to creative talent, and characterizing and interpreting. Truly, this is the department for which we may well feel concerned, for the outstanding individuals are few, especially among the females. Our present geniuses cannot live forever, except in our memory; who will be our next Chaplin and Lloyd, Normand and Fazenda? The foregoing reflections are to no purpose if they have not aroused us to a realization that the teleology of motion pictures is worth consideration. The motion picture is a tremendous institution, and must have a considerable cultural influence. If any one doubts this, let him travel in foreign countries and study its effect, learn what are other people's impressions of us as gleaned from our pictures. % I
