THE PHOTOPLAY brought to mountains and seashore, and soon to the jungles of Africa or to Central Asia if the photoplay demanded exciting scenes on picturesque backgrounds. Thousands of peo- ple entered into the battle scenes which the historical drama demanded. We stand today in the midst of this external growth of which no one dreamed in the days of the kineto- scope. Yet this technical progress and this tremendous increase of the mechanical de- vices for production have their true meaning in the inner growth which led from trite epi- sodes to the height of tremendous action, from trivial routine to a new and most promising art.
