Abstract
A MOTION picture title may be defined as the reading matter interspersed between the scenes in order to assist in a better understanding of the picture. As a result of refinements in scenario writing, and in acting, the modern photoplay requires less verbal description than formerly, the tendency being to make the picture “speak for itself” as far as possible. This cutting down of the quantity of title matter has resulted, however, in a marked improvement in quality, especially in the direction of more artistic lettering and the addition of suitable backgrounds, especially in color.
