A MECHANICAL MARVEL
HISTORY IN THE MAKING. The mechanical marvel which records and reproduces both words and pictures is the instrument with which the speaking likenesses of centuries will be preserved (says Mjr Will Hays, ■ the head of the film industry in America). Never again shall time wither or age destroy anything that is imposing or exquisite or memorable. Paderewski's flashing fingers will still pounce upon keyboards and draw sweet thunder from his piano a hundred years from now. All achievement delivers its message to, and sits for its portrait in, celluloid. The history lessons of to-morrow will be taught from the news-reels of to-day. Our children's children will watch Byrd sail for the South Pole, and witness Lindbergh begin his flight into immortality.
All great and unusual men and women sooner or later march through the lens of a sound-recording camera to appear and talk to all the peoples of the earth.
Everybody everywhere by grace of motion-picture enterprise eventually can meet flace to face every living person of interest or importance.
