I .T'S HARD for a fellow like me who thinks apple pie is one of nature's greatest gifts to man to believe that there are folks who honestly don't like it at all. On the other hand, I can't abide liver and bacon though I know it's highly regarded by many. . We all have our likes and our dislikes. We're all dif ferent thanks be! A dull world it would be if we weren't That's why I say that the most remarkable thing about motion pictures is that they hit such a high aver age of pleasure-giving. Take any individual picture and you'll find that most people who see it will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Not all, naturally. For example, I think a certain star is tops while, to hear the way my next-door neighbor goes on about her, you'd think she wasn't good enough to be an "extra". Or my wife sees a picture during the afternoon and raves about it at dinner. Maybe son and I take it in that evening and come home feeling that Mother is losing her judgment. And there you are. It's the apple pie situa tion all over again. But, taking them all together, I figure that the "movies" give more pleasure to more people at a lot less cost than most anything the .mind of man was ever re sponsible for and have done the human race more downright good than all the medicines concocted since creation. And I'll say this: The times when I've been disap pointed in a picture have been a lot fewer than the other times when I've gone to see one I wasn't especially ex cited about in advance and been mighty glad I did. Sure, I criticize the pictures. I pay my money and that's my right.
