Abstract
THE current number of Film Progress is in two parts. It contains the usual supplementary bulletin to the National Encyclopaedia of Films. In this section are noted a good number of films, both 35 mm. and 16 mm., of G. B. Equipments and Pathe. Silent films of Ensign and C.I.B.E.F. are also listed. The other section deals mainly with the educational value of the sound film. This is in effect a resume of the arguments put forward by C. F. Hoban in a symposium on “Sound and Silent Films” held at the University of Chicago. The arguments are well stated, but the article reads too much like special pleading, seeing that the arguments for the silent film presented to the symposium are not mentioned. We hope that they will be stated in a future number.
