THE MOVING PICTURE
Chronicle of the Temperance Cause

A Moving Picture Demonstration: The Consequences of Intemperance, Captured by Modern Photographic Machinery

Through the marvel of modern technology, we bring you this visual testament to the Reform Movement. What once required lengthy orations and printed pamphlets can now be witnessed directly through the miracle of moving photography. This exhibition demonstrates the power of temperance and the perils of its opposite.

About This Exhibition

The moving pictures you witness here represent the cutting edge of reform communication. Where once we relied upon the printed word and spoken testimony, we now use the power of visual storytelling to illuminate the path of righteousness.

"A picture is worth a thousand pamphlets, and a moving picture, ten thousand sermons."

We encourage all viewers to share this moving picture exhibition with their communities, churches, and social organizations. The temperance cause requires modern tools for modern times, and we stand ready to deploy every innovation in service of sobriety and moral clarity.
