The writer feels that be should also call attention to the character of the releases that now come forth as an almost daily oc- currence. No careful observer can fail to be impressed with the evolution that Is going on. Even the comedy productions teach an object lesson far more often than not Who shall say that the Edison film, "The Grouch." with all of its laughter provoking scenes, did not have for its main purpose the better- th c world, and thereby became champion. REARING THE ZENITH PERIOD OF CINEMATOGRAPHY. 1)1' BOBEHT OBAU. If It is true that the manufacturers in the film Industry arc amassing fortunes as a re- sult of the Increasing vogue of the silent drama, it Is also true that there is at this time unmistakable signs of prodigal expen- diture in evolving educational film. The Illograph's "Man's Genesis" and "A Pueblo Legend" are wholly nntheatrlcal in concep- tion and execution, yet they provide incen- tive for the most delicate artistry on the part of the players. It Is Just such produc- tions (and they will multiply In the next few months) that caused that modern exponent of stagecraft to exclaim that the "art of cinematography possesses the divine spark." • » » "Daniel Frobman presents Madame Sarah Bernhardt, In the photoplay, 'Queen Eliza- beth.'
