Summary "The Motion Picture Chums' New Idea: Or, The First Educational Photo Playhouse" by Victor Appleton is a children's adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a group of boys, known as the Motion Picture Chums, who embark on an ambitious project to establish an educational film theater in Boston. The novel explores their challenges and strategic thinking in the business world of early cinema, emphasizing themes of friendship, creativity, and perseverance. At the start of the book, Frank Durham, a key member of the group, proposes a groundbreaking idea to his friends for a new photo playhouse solely dedicated to educational films. They are excited by the prospect and quickly discuss the potential business opportunities. Frank describes his encounter with Professor Achilles Barrington, an eccentric but brilliant scientist who has formulated a plan for educational films and is seeking partners to execute it. The group eagerly anticipates the professor's arrival to explore the feasibility of his innovative venture, setting the stage for an array of adventures and dilemmas in the quest for success in the film industry.
