Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Children and Movies It is difficult to appreciate the fact that in 1900 movies were commercially unknown. To attempt to recreate in the imagination a world in which there are no motion-picture "palaces" is almost as difficult as to recreate the existence of the people of the old Stone Age. The movies are everywhere: in the city and the country, in the Orient and the Occident, in the two hemispheres. Some say they are too much with us; but collectively we seem to find them almost as essential and certainly as ubiquitous as the newspaper or the milkman. One hundred million Americans are supposed to have attended the movies in 1928. This mass movement has something of the portent of an irresistible tide welling up and over and into the dark caverns and galleries of a rocky ocean shore, receding only to renew the surge again and again. But with this difference: each human unit of this vast movie tide is swept out from the dark cavern just a little different than when it was swept in. All America, indeed all the modern world, is thus ceaselessly played upon by the ebb and flow of sight and sound. No one can fail to be deeply impressed by the immense power of this new Warwick in the modern state, helping to form and mold and strengthen the interests, opinions, and ambitions of the voting masses.
