America Leads Again

Recent published statements
show that activity in amateur
radio work and broadcasting in
the United States is greater than
in any other nation in the world.
Why shouldn't it be?
Under the stimulating hand
of private initiative and enter
prise this country has the great
est telephone system, the most
widespread use of electricity
and gas in the house, in the fac
tory and on the farm, the great
est transportation system, both
electric and steam, and why
should it not lead in radio, the
latest great convenience for
mankind?
Give radio chance for de-
velopment unrestricted by use
less or unnecessary regulation
and it will make the United
States dominant in future air
communication.

Mantell and the Movies

Robert Mantell, the we'll
known actor, is out with the
statement that, for world
that is drunk with the movies,
the only SOLDERING draught can
be Shakespeare"
And, criticizing the movies,
he invites the bitter and crush
ing rejoinder of that intellectual
queen of the screen who identi-
fled another and quite as able
critic, some time ago, as a big
piece Of cheese"
MIR. Mantell, of course, is not
a cheese or any part theori, but
he is wrong.
The silver sheet is not a
poison, nor yet a disease, and as
a consequence does not need an
antidote or physic. 1t is raw
material, yes, and it needs the
refining agencies of smelters, or
filtration plants or something
like that. We may admire, rel
ish and partonize Shakespeare,
but that will not improve the
movies, which have come to
stay.
The great actor AYERS that
the radio and the movies are
making children ignorant. If that
be true, the blame rests on the
misapplication or prostitution
of them rather than on the
things-the inventions-them-
selves.
The movies were certainly
bad enough to start with, but
they have improved and will
continue to improve. One of
their worst relationships now is
the publicity men who feel call
ed on to indicate to the public
that a really decent production
is not decent at all, their error
being that that is the way to at
tract the crowd.
If we insist on something bet
ter-something that is. educa-
tive. as well as attractive they
will be compelled to respond.
We can only give them tone by
lambasting them or leaving
them alone, except in a very
small degree. We cannot off
set them by the very small and
Indifferent amount of Shake
speare we have at our disposal.
We ca molly give them tone by
showing our appreciation of
that very commendable attri-
butte. 1t is up to US.
The moral and educational
possibilities are almost unlimit-
ed. To an extent we are real
ling this. Schools and colleges
are learning to use them and in
time the Movie and the radio
will rank as greater educational
institutions.
