are used as the basic principles in "The Art of the Moving Picture".
Those who desire a close view of the Lindsay idea will do well

The Congo and Other Poems
With a preface by Harriet Monroe, Editor of the `Poetry Magazine'.
Cloth, 12mo, $1.25; leather, $1.60
In the readings which Vachel Lindsay has given for colleges, universities,
etc., throughout the country, he has won the approbation of the critics
and of his audiences in general for the new verse-form which he is employing,
as well as the manner of his chanting and singing,
which is peculiarly his own. He carries in memory all the poems in his books,
and recites the program made out for him; the wonderful effect of sound
produced by his lines, their relation to the idea which the author seeks
to convey, and their marvelous lyrical quality are quite beyond the ordinary,
and suggest new possibilities and new meanings in poetry.
