Chapter VII--The Picture of Religious Splendor, which has no examples,

that remain in the memory with any sharpness in 1922, except The Faith

of the directing and scenario by Mrs. William Vaughn Moody, and a more

talked-of commercial film, The Miracle Man. But not until the religious

film is taken out of the commercial field, and allowed to develop

unhampered under the Church and the Art Museum, will the splendid

religious and ritualistic opportunity be realized.
