STAGE FAVORITES IN TEE FILM 77 THE PARTING. OLAF GULDMAR IS LOATH TO GIVE UP HIS DARLING THELMA. thousands, a living woman, not a personage in a book or "that dear Miss Blank" who is the favorite at the local stock company's home and Thelma for a week. For theatrical presentation a diversity of scenes is not practical, but the photoplay ignores these limitations and the main incidents of the book are portrayed with a realism that is not possible to the stage with its restrictions of space and its painted scenery. Thelma in picture form is vastly more convincing than the stage production, and will bring delight to thousands of admirers of Miss Corelli's most favored novel. With the constant additions made highest to the list of visualized literature, the library and the photoplay-houses will become adjuncts of each other, and in course of time the field will be broadly covered by a series of productions so carefully made as to be worthy of their association with the forms of the literary classics. It is not looking too far into the future to anticipate the time when the motion picture camera will become an aid to the lecturer on English literature, and the film will find its proper place in the school room and in the lecture hall. Already increasing use is being made of motion pictures in the medical schools, and this is but the first step in that direction.
