Authors 9 Era pages, and to quote the producer, "was writ- ten by one who knew his screen." These things are told the reader to show that the screen is the infant amusement and emphasize its importance; to familiarize the unacquainted with the revolutionizing steps already taken. Its progress has been slow and conservative, perhaps a little sensational at times, but we can overlook its recklessness, for, like all youths, it was trying hard to find itself. Its future is going to be glorious. There will be new faces. New stars will come and go, but they will never twinkle as they did when the industry was in swaddling clothes. Henceforth, the story will be the thing, and the writer who takes the screen seriously, and spends plenty of care and thought in the prep- aration of his work, will deliver contributions which will gain for him not only fame in this generation, but they will be preserved in ar- chives and later re-issued that posterity may have a knowledge of the great photodrama- tists of the present age. 16
