ABSTRACT

A ND still we linger in the days of 1913, while yet the motion picture was feeling its way and trying to find its own proper place in the world of expression.

One memorable title, significant of many aspects of motion picture evolution, survives in memory conspicuously among the scores of experimental efforts of the period. It is the lurid Traffic in Souls. The history of the project illuminates that age of the motion picture art with special clarity.
