Talking Pictures several will be property men. A number of members will write the scenario. The rest will act. In most cinema clubs the members supplement their information by interchanging individual technical duties with each production made. A member of one college club said to the author, "Membership in a Cinema Club offers the Master's degree in the matter of photoplay appreciation. Until you have actually made a picture in such a club, you can never really know what an arduous task it is to bring about screen perfection." Actual study and experimentation are values which cannot be underestimated. They lead to an experience which theory can never approximate. On a small scale, the work of cinema clubs approaches all of the bitter failure and the happy success which is a part of any artistic achievement. Mistakes are made and problems are solved. Young actors and actresses meet with approval and disapproval and young directors display inherent genius or plain stupidity. The Cinema Club is an excellent cog in the new machinery of Practical Education. [264]
