NOTES 329 23. Quoted by Richter, Avantgarde: History and Dates ..., p. 5. I am indebted to Mr. Hans Richter for having put at my disposal a copy of this unpublished manuscript. 24. See Mekas, "The Experimental Film in America," Film Culture, MayJune 1955, vol. I, no. 3:18, and Knight, "Self-Expression," The Saturday Review of Literature, May 27, 1950. 25. Cf. Mekas, op. cit. passim; Knight, op. cit. passim, and his The Liveliest Art, pp. 280-85; Jacobs, "Avant-Garde Production in America," in Manveil, ed., Experiment in the Film, passim. 26. Dard, Valeur humaine du cinema, p. 1 1. 27. Artaud, "The Shell and the Clergyman: Film Scenario," transition, June 1930, nos. 19-20:63. 28. Deren, An Anagram of Ideas on Art . . . , p. 46. 29. Artaud, op. cit. p. 65. 30. Ouoted from "Sang d'un poete (Le)," Film Society Programmes, April 2, 1933. 31. Allendy, "La valeur psychologique de 1 'image," in L'Herbier, ed., Intelligence du cinematographe, p. 318. (First published in 1926.) In the same year 1926 appeared the Pabst film, The Secrets of a Soul, whose dream sequences seemed to implement Dr. Allendy's idea. But their semblance of surrealism is deceptive, if only for the reason that they form part of a story which could not be more realistic. 32. Poisson, "Cinema et psychanalyse," Cinema (Les cahiers du mois, 16/17), 1925, p. 175. 33. Brunius, "Experimental Film in France," in Manvell, ed., Experiment in the Film, p. 100. 34.

Wallis, "The Blood of a Poet," Kenyon Review, Winter 1944, vol. 6, no. 1, passim, goes still far beyond Morrison in reading symbolic meanings into the Cocteau film. 35.
