RUTLAND, Compiler INTRODUCTION The motion picture industry has grown in a decade from a very insignificant business to what producers claim is the fourth largest industry in America. Starting as a one-reel comedy of fights, failings, and a chase or two, the film has challenged competition with the drama and the novel in the field of fiction, with the newspaper and the magazine in the field of news and art. and with books and lectures in school work. No town is complete without its picture houses; cities have scores of them for all classes and at all prices, some of them in palatial homes; almost every village community in the land either has its own exhibitor or is in easy reach of one. In fact, it is estimated that ten million people in the United States alone go to the movies every day and that thousands more see American pictures in all countries of the earth on\ a little less frequently. By all odds, the motion picture is now the world's largest commercialized form of en- tertainment. rolume 11 September, 1923 Number I
