Miscellaneous Notes THE forced exclusion from this is- sue of the department, "Among the Magazines," prevents us from giv- ing more than the merest mention of the following recent articles, some of which deserve extended review. The Cinema Novel, by Gilbert Seldes in Vanity Fair for June, is an exceedingly interesting discussion of the influence of the movie scenario on fictional literature in France. The Motion Picture Not an Art, by Otis Skinner in The Ladies' Home Journal for May, is another onslaught upon the motion picture by one whose antagonism "may be easily pardoned, or at least, un- derstood, in view of his genius in the finer medium of the stage. Fact and Fable in Visual Education is a sane and scholarly discussion by Frank N. Freeman in The Moving Picture Age for April. It is a sound warning against maudlin enthusiasm over an unknown quantity. When You Write for the Screen, in the Writer's Digest for April, is merely naive repetition of the same old absurd patter that has come down unchanged from the early days of ignorance in the motion picture industry. For instance: "The ideal screen story would appeal to the college professor and the ditch-digger equally; to the society woman and the servant girl." Jeanie Macpherson, of Cecil B. DeMille-scenario-fame, wrote the article. The Washingtons in the Movies is the title of half a column in The Literary Di- gest for April 29th. Apropos of the Brit- ish film, The Cradle of the Washingtons, a writer in the London Times calls for "constructive film treatment of some of the byways of history, where plenty of color, action, and romance is to be found by the imaginative and scholarly pro- ducer." Oh, for the day of the "imagina- tive and scholarly producer!" Romantic History of the Motion PI ture (third installment), by Terry Raj saye in Photoplay for June, is the be chapter so far. It treats the epochal yl in motion picture history, 1895, when! least six inventors were engaged in gj ting Edison's peep-hole picture succel fully upon the screen. Visual Instruction in Louisiana, by] O. Pettiss in Southern School Work 1 March, shows that Louisiana is one I the forward-looking states in taking i the new methods. Motion Picture Morals Attacked at Defended, in Current Opinion for Api is a digest of recent editorial and plj form utterances for and against the ni tion picture industry and its people. We All Have a Secret Love of Advt. ture and Romance, by Allison Gray I the American Magazine for May, is spla didly calculated to impress the reacj with the greatness and significance The National Geographic Society achievement to date. In large part t! article is an interview with Gilbert Grq venor who has been the editor and gut ing spirit of the enterprise for nearly quarter of a century.
