Internal Developments in the Motion Picture Industry

Carl E. Milliken

There is written somewhere in the Old Testament an injunction which rings with an authority that time cannot destroy. It is: “Set thine house in order.” Alexander Pope, whose barbed couplets have certainly never been excelled and probably never equalled, was so struck by the force of the edict that he once exclaimed: “Order is Heaven's FIRST law.” Whether we are willing to go so far as to agree with the poet that “Order is Heaven's first law” or not is neither here nor there, but we cannot fail to see that in all nature and in all changes the forces of progress are on the side of order and that eternal battle is waged against rebellious chaos and confusion. Even today we see the fight going on all about us, and there is a continuous clashing of arms as civilization marches on.
