|S the motion picture has expanded into a world medium of expression, surpassing all others in its power to reach the universal mind, it has developed artists whose names are inscribed with the most famous of this age. Indeed few celebrities of any age have enjoyed a fame so democratic and world-embracing as the three people who are known simply as Mary, Doug, and Charlie. Thrusting up from among humble people, as many a human genius, the motion picture now commands the attention of all intellectual people. Its artists and its productions are viewed and discussed by all classes, by all nationalities. Realizing that the motion picture and its people comprise a major topic of the hour among current events, Photoplay Magazine has compiled this symposium of leading artists for information and for reference. It is not comprehensive; it is selective. The restrictions of space render an exhaustive study impossible, but it is the aim of this book to present to everyone who wishes to be reliably informed a concise and illuminating survey of artists who today distinguish the screen and contribute to the great art form America has perfected.
