Spectator and the Class-Room
With a consistent point of view, sound artistic judgment, and an intelligent sense of values, the SPECTATOR is a delightful and stimulating guide to any worker in the field of motion picture appreciation. I know of no other magazine half so helpful to the teacher. — MRS. JESSAMINE I. WEBSTER, Rutherford Senior High School, Rutherford, New Jersey.
As a teacher of English, I find myself continually quoting and reading the articles and reviews in the SPECTATOR to all of my classes. In my opinion it is the only motion picture magazine that is of high literary value in content as well as in the manner in which it is expressed.— HELEN MAE STEPHENSON, Madison Public Schools, Madison, New Jersey.
Our English classes find the SPECTATOR of aid in the study of Motion Picture Appreciation. I subscribed for it in order that the head of our English Department might have it for use in connection with her classes in that subject. About three years ago we organized a course in motion picture appreciation using Motion Pictures and Youth, by Dale, as a text. In connection with it we also had copies of the SPECTATOR and have found it of inestimable value in making studies of plays reviewed in it. — PERCIVAL S. BARNES, Superintendent, The Public Schools, East Hartford, Connecticut.
It is my custom to suggest that the teachers of Motion Picture Appreciation in the New Jersey High Schools make constant use of the SPECTATOR. A few reasons: You are frank
and unbiased in expressing your opinions and judgments. Your preview reports arrive days ahead of material available from any other source. With the SPECTATOR on her desk, the teacher is closer to the center of motion picture activity. The teacher who uses the SPECTATOR will develop a pleasant feeling of comfort and at-homeness with her work. She will begin to know "what it is all about." — WILLIAM F. BAUER, Director, East Orange High School, East Orange, New Jersey.
Feeling that the study of Motion Picture Appreciation should be widely extended throughout this and other countries, I would bespeak the value of the publication, HOLLYWOOD SPECTATOR. If Mr. Beaton’s ideals can become universal all who are connected with the education of the youth of our land will owe him a deep debt of gratitude for his enterprising endeavors in this field. We recommend the SPECTATOR as giving the most reliable information concerning the screen of any publication which we know.— BESSIE N. LEONARD, The Clarke School for the Deaf, Northampton, Massachusetts.
