Excerpt from Motion Picture Magazine, Vol. 20: August, 1920-January, 1921There is so much talk of extensive production abroad these days - of the fact that other countries will compete, to the best of their ability, with America, which has for so long excelled in motion picture produc tion, that it is interesting to learn of conditions - cinematically speaking first-hand: dear editor - I have, at last, reached this famed town (in England we are not so crude as to call it a city) and verily, I like it muchly. Of course. It isn't as beautiful as Paris, but still it has a de lightful charm all its own. For beauty and gaiety give me Paris. But then, at other times, let me have London.It is very pleasing to note that our pic ture palaces (why so called I am at a loss to state) differ from those of France, Belgium and the continent in general. As in Germany, we call it the Kinema. With a slightly different pronunciation, and isn't it true that the Japanese also spell it the selfsame way?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
