FOREWORD So complex is a production for the screen, so many and varied are the elements involved, so great is the experience, the judgment, the skill required, that no adequately critical appreciation of a motion picture is possible unless there is knowledge and comprehension of the problems involved. This book should lead those who read it to a truer and more thoughtful consideration of the cinema. It should give them a better understanding of what it means to catch and hold on a strip of film the best in art, the best in music, the best in acting, the best in drama, and the best in literature. It should teach them something of what is required to provide amusement for the village and the citv, the nation and the world. It should show them new values, sharpen their discrimination, and stimulate their imagination. In giving the public facts upon which to base a fuller, sounder estimate of a universal amusement art, it seems to me that Air. Kiesling has done a fine and useful piece of work. WILL H. HAYS XI
