on By JOHN S. GREY How dear to my heart are those fine Moving Pictures Which every evening now come to my view, In spite of the foolish, the misguided strictures "Which Misunderstanding oft tries to renew! The dramas of love and of human emotions, The plays that amuse and the plays that excel, The plots that are pleasing, the whims and odd notions And ev'ry loved scene that the films show so well! The fine Motion Pictures, the new Motion Pictures, The dear Motion Pictures that please us so well ! ., The comedycdramas I love to unravel, The tragedy plays with their lessons so plain, The numerous scenes of adventure and travel — I love to go see them again and again ! The pictures that tell how a break or a fracture By surgeons are mended, howe'er they befell, The screens that explain how machines manufacture 'Most all kinds of goods, my attention compel. The fine Moving Pictures, the new Moving Pictures, The dear Moving Pictures we all love so well ! The films that depict scenes from History's pages, Political, Biblical, social or war, That reproduce characters from the past ages, Are best evidence of what pictures are for. To teach, to instruct, to inform and amuse us, To lessons impart as their stories they tell, So why should old "Misunderstanding" accuse us Of stanchly defending what we love so well? The fine Moving Pictures, the new Moving Pictures, The dear Moving Pictures we all love so well !
