A FASCINATING STORY
IN WORD AND PICTURE. The latest example of the blending of entertainment with instruction is supplied in tiie issue of "The March of Time,” shortly to be released, showing the rise and growth of the picture industry in America from the very earliest days. This has been made with the full co-operation of the Film Library in the New York Museum of Mo-
dern Arts. Pictures, it is revealed, were first shown publicly in 1896. "The Great Train Robbery”—the pioneering attempt Io tell a connective story —was made in 1903. Together with numerous other glimpses of the efforts of those days, we see Charlie Chaplin with Marie Dressier in her first picture, "Tillie’s Punctured Romance” (1914). Given, too, is a hint of Chaplin as he will appear in his forthcoming burlesque of Hitler in "The Dictator." Most fascinating, in short, is the subject of this issue—an issue that is of unique interest to picturegoers, and for that reason should command their attendance to an extent unsurpassed by , ri ny previous "March of Time” presentation.
