PICTURES’ PLACE IN AMERICA S GREATEST ART
V\
HE motion picture industry is the most spectacularly successful business the world has ever seen.
In fourteen years it has leaped from a cheap novelty to fourth place in the race for industrial supremacy.
Through the magic of its enchantment the home folks of Portland, Maine, or Albuquerque, N. M., stroll the streets of London or Tokio, climb the Alps, float on the canals of Venice or explore the out-of-the-way places of the earth.
It has brought within the reach of all the people entertainment of the most fascinating type. It has recreated the pageantry and pomp of every age. It has realized in living form the tragedies, conflicts and heroisms of the souls of men and nations.
We see in motion pictures a great force for culture, for clean pleasure, for entertainment and education. As producers and distributors of such pictures as “Salvage,” starring Pauline Frederick; “Black Roses,” starring Sessue Hayakawa; “The Foolish Age,” starring Doris May; “Kismet,” with Otis Skinner, directed by Louis J. Gasnier; “The Barricade,” directed by Wm. Christy Cabanne, we have established a standard of quality that has never been excelled.
“Possession,” a thrilling tale of love, pluck and adventure, a screen version of the novel “Phroso,” by Sir Anthony Hope, is a recent R-C release. Set in the sun-blest isles of the romantic Aegean, nothing is spared to make this newest picture meet the highest artistic and moral ideals.
The R-C standard of honesty of purpose will be maintained at all cost. An announcement of an R-C picture will always be a guarantee of artistic accomplishment, of scrupulous cleanliness.
