Some books are read, and 'then thrown away. Some pictures are seen, and then forgotten. The Ufe of an ordinary movie the society drama or comedy, Is about two years. Classics of literature like "Hamlet" i and Emerson's "Essay on' Compensation" Compensa-tion" live throughout generations and are reaj again and again. "The Ten Commandments" has a theme so great a swee'p so large, and is so elaborate ly produced that it Is one of the small group of films which will nerer die.
