The author says that a great deal can be said for as well as against the exact reproduction of a stage performance by means of the motion picture. But to stress this problem today would be to overlook the fact that the technical powers of the motion picture are still wholly inadequate for creating the illusion of a performance that is enacted within the walls of a theater. This season the Hollywood, Los Angeles, California workshops have been turning them out by the dozen, with the majority of them patterned faithfully after the stage model.
