Excerpt from Film and Theatre This book has been written equally in the service of the theatre and in that of the film. Now that the first excite ment attendant upon the cinema's growth has passed away, there seems to have come a time when we ought to pause and consider the position which the theatre must occupy during the years immediately to follow, in the midst of conditions essentially divergent from those prevailing three decades ago. During the course of those thirty years the film has slowly and with infinite labour been discovering its true field of expression. The more strenuous tasks com plered, we have just arrived at a period when this field can be analysed calmly and its value assessed, when, too, it is possible, by comparison with cinematic aims, to clarify and determine the essentials, aims and methods which it seems the theatre's business to pursue.

Excerpt from A History of the Movies At the end of four years I had produced a manuscript of ap proximately words. The editorial board of one publishing house to whom it had been submitted suggested presenting it in three volumes! The mere thought of three volumes disheartened me so thoroughly that the manuscript was retired to my shelves. Then Harry Block, an editor who had read portions of the manu script, returned from a year's absence abroad. He rescued the book from my library shelves, read it, and generously offered to assist me in reducing it to one-volume length. Thanks to him that work has been done. Without his enthusiasm, intelligence, and skill, I do not believe that the book could ever have been completed.

Excerpt from At the Movies: A Farcical Novelty, in One Scene The Man in the Aisle Seat. Mr. Griggs, who has seen the picture before. Mrs. Griggs. Clarice, a devotee of the pictures. Nell, her cousin from up-state. Setting Any back drop or plain curtain will serve as a set, as the action takes place in the subdued light, as in a motion picture theatre. A row of common chairs will serve as the seats, but if a row of regular theatre chairs can be procured, the realism will be heightened. The light, while subdued, should be sufficient to reveal the features of the several actors. The music of the piano, or piano and drums, is off stage, and should be at all times incidental to the dialogue.

Excerpt from Exhibitors Herald, Vol. 6: The Independent Film Trade Paper; December 29, 1917 One thing that the new year is certain to bring about is the practical elimination of the old make shift picture house - the nickelodeon. In' many places the industry generally has progressed far more rapidly than the theatre itself. But another year will mark the disappearance of the store-front and in its place will come the film palace of the type that is being constructed everywhere throughout the country, which is in itself an eloquent testi monial to the faith that is placed in the future of the motion picture business.

This title comprises a collection of essays presenting a variety of approaches to films set in Ancient Greece and Rome and to films that reflect archetypal features of classical literature. The book illustrates the continuing presence of antiquity in the most varied and influential medium of modern popular culture. The diversity of content and theoretical stances found in this work should make this volume required reading for scholars and students interested in the presence of Greece and Rome in modern popular culture.

Excerpt from Sights and Spectacles, 1937-1956 "It is to be hoped that Mr. Young will devote himself to one of Chekhov's more mature plays." This insufferably patronizing sentence was written by me, eighteen years ago, in a review of Stark Young's adaptation of The Sea Gull. The reader should be warned that he will come upon many such sentences in the early parts of this collection; he will have to bear with them, if he can, in the interests of the record. I have not tried to up-date my views or to rewrite passages that grate on my ear today. The only rewriting has been for the sake of clarity, where a topical reference has lost its meaning or where a passage has become obscure, even to me. What is heard in the early sections is the voice of a young, earnest, pedantic, pontificating critic. The judgments are harsh, though I do not, for the most part, disagree with them. What irritates me is the tone of cocksure, condescending cleverness. "The playwright assumes that his hero's irresolution is of a tragic order while, as a matter of fact, it is comico-pathetic." It is the voice of a period, as well as that of a person. The period was 1937. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
