Photo play debated as independent art by Munsterberg
Professor Hugo Munsterberg told the Massachusetts State Federation of Women's Clubs at the Public Library that the moving picture is a separate art, independent of drama, nearer to music or painting, with its own future. Mrs. Alice Carroll urged broader use in education, noting films reach many income groups and can educate children beyond schools. Gustave Frohman urged women to influence film content and classify theaters, linking film to stage through footlights.
