...obstacle by giving reviews of the different films, with the plots, casts of characters, and methods of production. In this manner he has taken sixteen representative photoplays of the season 1922-1923, which he considers the best of the field. It is, of course, the prerogative of anyone to quarrel with the choice of matter included in an anthology; but whether Sherwood's choice of the best movies meets with everyone's approval or not, the fact remains that he has made a discriminating selection, and his sixteen best photo-plays are as representative a group as could be made...

Of the 23 Rembrandts in the Louvre, only four are genuine, he says; four out of 21 in the National Gallery, London; two out of 43 in the Hermitage, Petrograd; and three out of 26 in the Berlin gallery. Professor Van Dyke does not quarrel with the quality of many of the pictures he rejects. They are beautiful and representative works of arts, but not by Rembrandt.
