313 The Educational Screen The Moving Picture Age THE Moving Picture Age is the oldest, and by far the most wide! known publication that has ever appeared in the field. For five yeat —first under the name of "Reel and Slide," and since October, 191} under its present name—that magazine has steadily maintained high idel of service to the non-theatrical cause.
