Picture "Show Annual 137 PIONEERS OF THE PICTURES Stars who Shone at the Birth of the Pictures still have their followers IT seems long, long ago that we paid threepence for a hard seat in a little hall from which we watched a palsied hero, heroine, and villain against a palsied background consisting of one side of a room only, cheering when the film broke for the fourth time, hissing the villain when he doped the racehorse or threatened the heroine, cheering again when the hero arrived to the rescue, and being overwhelmed with astonished excitement at the new wonder.
