This is bound to be. As the change occurs, swiftly and quietly, the control of the amusement industry, one of our greatest in point of revenues, may slip away from the monopoly which has possessed it from the days of the flickering films. It may get into the hands of worse men, but I doubt that. Television will be flowing into the homes and we have a double standard which bars from the home offensiveness which we tolerate in theatres.

There was a phonograph behind the screen playing a record of the speeches and incidental sounds. But timing was too much for the technicians of that day about 1910 perhaps.

They actually dined and slept in the White House. He was making nse of them. It drove them crazy with But tell me, have you ever seen a movie which could be interpreted as a criticism of any phase of Roosevelts administration? To them that would be sacrilege.

I have no ulterior motive in reciting these facts because I am not a movie man, and I did the story feeling sure they would kill it. The Johnston office barred all Capone films with a trick extra proviso that the punishment must fit the crime. As long as that one stays on the books it will be impossible to film the John Hartford swindle. Television is only a couple of years old but already it is killing interest in radio, and no wonder. Given the vastness of Imagination for its stage, free of cost, radio has been miserably paltry and The comedy has been so bhd that it has become the butt of the very comedians themselves.
