Motion Picture Magazine (Aug 1921-Jan 1922)

,,-JOTtON PICTURI 101 I MAGAZINE public thru the programs, and not on the films as at present. These programs will he displayed in frames in the lobbies or distributed to the patrons. 13. Advertising of extraneous matter on the screen will be eliminated and the public will force this condition. 14. No manufacturer will dare to produce a film, for public exhibition in the theaters, in which any brand of soap or other commodity is shown in grocery-store scenes or otherwise. The exhibitors will censor all such films and refuse to accept them if they contain intentional or unintentional advertising. 15. The public will become the only censors of films, and they will learn to show their disapproval by warning the exhibitor against exhibiting certain kinds of plays. 16. The scripts for photoplays will be written by experienced writers from everywhere, and the manufacturers will learn iiot to rely on scripts written by their own editors. Celebrated writers from various fields of literature will contribute photoplays as they now contribute poems, novels and stories. This will insure new blood and new ideas. 17. Publishers of stories, novels and poems will work in harmony with motion picture manufacturers, the one augmenting the other, which will mean that the best stories will appear in the magazines and periodicals at the same time that they are shown on the screen. Thus, as in the case of The Motion Picture Story Magazine, people may read what they have seen and see what they have read. 18. There will be more realism in the pictures. Instead of painted scenery, there will be real scenery. When an old man is required, an old man will be cast for the part, and not a young man made up. The players will learn to be camera-unconscious and not to come down to the camera to speak their lines or to read a letter. All the players in every group will not be facing the camera. And so on. In short, the photoplays of the future will be more realistic and more true to life. 19. Motion pictures will be used in the schools for educational purposes, in conjunction with text-books, and the one will be considered as indispensable as the other. 20. All great events will be filmed for historical preservation. 21. An era of revival will come, when great and successful photoplays will be brought out again for a new run. 22. Old, poor and worn-out films will be retired at an earlier date than at present. 23. Amateur photographers will be equipped with motion picture camera and projection machines, and there will be many photographers who will make a business of taking motion pictures of families, estates, farms, localities and persons, for private use. 24. Talking pictures will not displace the silent drama, but better music and orchestral accompaniment will add to the effectiveness of motion pictures. The public will learn that anything that distracts from what the eye sees is not pleasurable, and that motion pictures are complete in themselves because words are not necessary and only retard the imagination. 25. The future will see better photography ; not necessarily scenic, altho this, too, will be improved, but particularly portraiture. The art of making-up for the pictures will be changed so that when a scene is properly lighted the face will not appear chalky white and expressionless and the lips black. Briefly, the whole industry will advance rapidly from now on. The poorer companies will die off, also the inferior directors, actors, cameramen and writers, and the fittest will survive I Can Teach You Piano In Quarter Usual Time I To persons who have not previously heard of my method, this may seem a pretty bold statement. But I will gladly convince you of its accuracy by referring you to any number of my graduates in any part of the world. There isn't a State in the Union that doesn't contain many players of the piano or organ who obtained their training from me by mail. I have far more students than were ever before taught by one man. Investigate by writing for my 64-page free booklet, "How to Learn Piano or Organ." My way of teaching piano or organ is entirely different from all others. Out of every four hours of study one hour is spent entirely away from the keyboard, learning something about Harmony and The Laws of Music. This is an awful shock to most teachers of the "old school," who still think that learning piano is solely a problem of "finger gymnastics." When you do go to the keyboard, you accomplish twice as much because you understand what you are doing. Within four lessons I enable you to play an interesting piece, not only in the original key, but in all other keys as well. I make use of every possible scientific help — many of which are entirely unknown to the average teacher. My patented invention, the COLOROTONE, sweeps away playing difficulties that have troubled students for generations. By its use, Transposition — usually a "night-mare" to students — becomes easy and fascinating. With my fifth lesson I introduce another important and exclusive invention, QUINN-DEX. Quinn-Dex is a simple, hand-operated moving-picture device, which enables you to see, right before your eyes, every movement of my hands at the keyboard. You actually see the fingers move. Instead of having to reproduce your teacher's finger movements from MEMORY — which cannot be always accurate — you have the correct models before you during every minute of practice. The COLOROTONE and QUINN-DEX save you months and years of wasted effort. They can be obtained only from Marcus Lucius Quinn Conservatory of Music Studio MG30, 598 Columbia Road, Boston, 25, Mass. fa. i\\ mm r|jg ■fecial f ■•• /if IB WW? '• ■ w^M Se^T DR. QUINN AT HIS PIANO From the Famous Sketch by Schneider, Ex = hibited at the St. Louis Exposition me and there is nothing else anywhere even remotely like them. Men and women who have failed by other methods have quickly and easily attained success when studying with me. In all essential ways you are in closer touch with me than if you were studying by the oral method — yet my lessons cost you only 43 cents each — and they include all the many recent developments in scientific teaching. For the student of moderate means, this method of studying is far superior to all others; and even for the wealthiest student, there is nothing better at any price. You may be certain that your progress is at all times in accord with the best musical thought of the present day, and this makes all the difference in the world. My course is endorsed by distinguished musicians, who would not recommend any Course that did not meet the highest musical standards. It is for beginners or experienced players, old or young. You advance as rapidly or as slowly as you wish. All necessary music is supplied without extra charge. A diploma is granted.
