Excerpt from Photoplay Studies, Vol. 5: A Magazine Devoted to Photoplay Appreciation, Series of 1939Photoplay appreciation, where it has won for itself a recognized and accepted place in the curriculum of our schools, is generally regarded as part of the work in English. While it is true that the vividness of screen presentation frequently stimulates oral and written expression by pupils who are generally shy and inarticulate, and in this way adds to their use of the English language, there can be little doubt that many contemporary films playing in the theatres are packed with deep social significance. It is equally obvious that many foreign films are extremely valuable in connection with foreign language work. In this connection the study of foreign languages is interpreted not only in the narrow sense of word study, but in the broader significance of the study and appreciation of a culture and a people. It is hoped that this Guide may prove helpful to teachers who wish to utilize grand illusion in this way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
