MAN ON THE SCREEN
The cinema," said Mr G. K. Chesterman in a recent speech.. " has broken up man. It puts part of him before its audiences. His eyes may be there on the screen* His nose may be there, and he may be proud of it. His legs may be there, and he may agitate them elegantly or comically. But he is not there. Probably he is grateful to be at Hollywood smoking a cigar after dinner. Now, by modern necromancy, the cinema is striving to put the man together again. It has already sent his voice after him in a separate pai'cel. In a little while it will,] no doubt, send the smell of his cigar, and of his hair oil."
