070 tlte maluates . . . Cwyl: many seemingly miraculous qualities proper to our modern movies, the power l to depict events in a realistic manner is perhaps the most remarkable. Therein, lies precisely the influence for good or for bad in the modern motion picture. We should imagine, however, that the gruesome spectacle of modern warfare would defy all attempts at capture on the part of the movie camera; and, yet, we all have seen and heartleand almost felt in our own bodiesethe gory destruction of war as projected on the silver screen, and synchronized with the sounds of global battles. Wherefore, many people have been heard to exelaim: Never again will I go to see a War picture. They take all the starch out of me, and leave me perfectly limp? And undoubtedly these emotionally excitable persons have had to bear the chiding of their more rugged friends, who say: Oh, dorft take those war pictures so seriously! TheyIre only picturesenot the real thing! Make up yOur mind, as I do, that they are only pictures, and you wonft get so unstrunglil And while this may be sensible advice for one who can take it, nevertheless, it is strong advice for persons who can happily and truthfully describe their nervous systems as still normal in this day and age. Evidently, dear Graduates, I am thinking in terms of the movies as I write these parting thoughts for you. We, your teachers, have been here with you at Our Lady of Angels shooting the scenes as it were, on your forthcoming picture, in which you are the stars. Quite naturally, we are wondering What kind of an impression you are going to make when you are hshownh on the worlds living screen; we are wondering, too, how well you are going to synchronize your words and ideas with the sound-track of high-school discipline. We express a legitimate hope, therefore, that you will be a convincing picturee nay, a living reality of what we have rehearsed and directed here on locationfl We pray that your lives will produce the same realistic impression that it is the power of the modern movie to convey. 'We trust that your Catholic education and ideals will speak to the world in praise of Christ and His Mother Mary; and not-may God forbidethat we will have to say, by way of poor apology: ttYou are only a picturee-not the real thing'?
