Aside from its prominence as amusement feature, the motion picture fills a place that has never been reached by the theater; that is, its ability to instruct as well as entertain. Its extended use in educational institutions, and in the proceedings of learned societies has proved its value as an instructor for it presents the most abstruse and difficult subjects in a way that appeals to the most indifferent mind. It has unfolded the beauties of literature to those who have lacked the inclination to read for themselves, and has taken the student through faraway lands that he could never have witnessed otherwise. Little wonder that the pictures have become an established institution among all classes of people.
