    Hey,

    "All is hubble-bubble, swarm and chaos. We are peering over the edge of a cauldron in which fragments of all shapes and savors seem to simmer; now and again some vast form heaves itself up, and seems about to haul itself out of chaos. Yet, at first sight,
    the art of the cinema seems simple, even stupid."

    It is an intelligent essay written before the advent of talkies. I
    wonder if she held the movies in higher regard 10 or 15 years later.

    She wrote it after seeing The Cabinet of Dr Caligari although the essay wasn't published until 1926.
