The middle-aged inhabitant who could remember it when it was a corn-field now beheld full-blasted breweries, cinematograph theaters, ten-story office-buildings, old mansions converted into piano-salesrooms and millinery emporiums, business colleges, and more full-blasted breweries up and down its length.
But suddenly he would go back to the tale of his fighting in Lorraine and resume a long and rapid monologue in which little pictures of horror flashed after each other as though his brain were a cinematograph recording some melodrama. Queer bits of philosophy jerked out between this narrative. "This war is only endurable because it is for a final peace in Europe."
When I first read Bergson's statement that the mathematician conceives the world after the analogy of a cinematograph, I had never seen a cinematograph, and my first visit to one was determined by the desire to verify Bergson's statement, which I found to be completely true, at least so far as I am concerned.
It seemed to me a cinematograph of democracy. For the change of an army division from the trenches, tired, worn and bedraggled, moving wearily to its station of rest, with another army division, fresh and eager, moving up from its station of rest to the front, is indeed a social miracle.

She had said that she could procure it for me, not that she possessed it; now, since I had given no orders to that effect, she had not troubled about it. Nobody travels south of Rome. . . . Strengthened beyond expectation by this repast, I sallied into the night once more, and first of all attended an excellent performance at the local cinematograph.
I wish to-day was Tuesday; and what shall we do with ourselves all the hours before it's time to dress up?" Lottie referred the question to Margaret, who, as head girl, had been busy thinking out plans for the enjoyment of her friends. "I thought of asking if we might go to see the Cinematograph at the Polytechnic," she replied.
I can get ten per cent in Seattle and twelve to fifteen in Calgary on my little bit; and security just as good as English railway stock and better!" The theatre was darkened and the cinematograph began its restless twinkling. Mr.
"Oh, that's all right," he said easily. "I'll send Stogie over to fix you up, and Mrs. Dal knows all about the arm. I told her." The Cinematograph was finishing the program.
