This is written in Los Angeles,
where pictures arc made for America
and all creation. Most encouraging
pends on this country for moving pic
lures and automobiles.
We make automobiles by the mil
lion and sell them for less than it
costs Europe to manufacture them,
despite our higher wages. Efficiency
explains that.
Big pictures can be made more
cheaply abroad than here, yet foreign
nations refuse their own cheaper
product and demand. American pic
lures. That also is easily explained.
American producers work ceasclessly,
with terrific energy and unlimited
expenditure, to make pictures better.
The best of this year is out Of date
next year.
There is only one explanation for
any success, one mixture ~ ten per
cent inspiration, ninety per cent per-
spirati0n, as Edison puts it.
Producers are looking for "thc
next step" in moving pictures, some
way to make photography more effec-
tive, to crowd into an evenings use
of the eyes and brain more entertain
ment, instruction, emotion and excite
mcnt.
The picture excels the written word
in expressing thought and action as
/. our alphabet excels ancient hero
I glyphics, but thought in pictures is
still held down practically to the slow
speed and action of written books and
plays.
The first automobiles were made
with dashboards. although there were
no horses hoofs to kick up mud. Men
could not change at once to the new
idea. They have not yet done so with
motion photography, and pictures are
still the old stories told in the same
way, with fewer words.
I II you have the new idea you, can
change it for gold.
There are endless opportunities in
moving pictures and everything else.
