.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. As a matter of fact, I kind of figure that

it's the criticism of average folks like me that's largely
responsible for the pictures getting better and better
all the time. .
Through the years the'motion picture has given ks
public countless hours of eqtertainment, countless
hours of escape from harsh reality. It has taken millions
away from trouble and sorrow, lightening their burdens
and brightening their lives . . . making the world a bet
ter, happier place to live in.
It has grown from "cowboys and Indians" to
dramatizations of the works of the world's greatest
authors . . . from temperamental flickers to technical
perfection . . . from infancy to an intelligent maturity.
To provide the finest array of productions ever released
the Motion Picture Industry has mobilized all its skill,
all its imagination, all its resources to provide the
greatest array of productions ever released.
Great stories splendidly produced . . . love-filled ro
mance, stirring drama, gay adventure, hilarious com
edy, tuneful musicals star-studded casts filled with
your favorites and new faces, new talents, for which
the world has been searched. One after another these
great pictures are coming to your favorite theatre.
Entertainment, relaxation, freedom from care are
yours in overflowing measure, brought to you by th
supreme efforts of the Motion Picture Industry to make
this fall season one you will never forget.
