son, If needed, can be viewed by
our descendants a thousand
years from now-a1.d more!
Think of what it would mean
If we of today could see the
Battle of Hastings, fought in
1865, and which was in effect
the Norman conquest of Eng
land; or the Wars Of the Roses,
the English Revolution under
Cromwell, the French Revolu-
ton, the American Revolution,
the Civil War, and Lincoln de-
livering his immortal address at
Gettysburg!
THIS pictured preservation of
the doingS of the last four
decades or so is woefully short
OF material as concerns the
earlier years. Even in the COM
paratively later period at which
I entered the business, we were
criminally careless regarding
these historical documents of
happenings, manners and Gus
toms. A negative began to wear
after so or so prints had been
made from it and no effort was
made at restoration or preserva-
ton.
The result was that in a cou-
pie of years all prints were worn
out and the negative was washed
out. It was only after the war
had begun that someone got the
idea of making two negatives.
But even then, and up into the
'20s, 1t was practically impossible
to use either negative or positive
or even to find them-after
the lapse of five years.
This means that except in the
rare instances where an actor or
producer saved a negative or
print in which he was interested
and kept it in fair condition by
preservatives, restorativeS and
temperature, all films up to the

Action Needed

II Is our opinion that this
would also contribute to the gen.
eral welfare by the reduction Of
traffic congestion upon the
streets, since we are assured by
many persons now committing
by private automobiles that they
will use the company's facilities
when the company is able to
properly handle their traffic.
Particularly, we believe that
this will considerably reduce the
traffic congestion on M Street
in Georgetown, while increasing
the number of people passing
through the business section of
Georgetown. We foresee q con-
siderable increase of business for
the Georgetown stores as a re-
suit of this arrangement.
The use of the streets Of
Washington by the Arlington
and Fairfax Auto Railroad Com
pany will in no way interfere
with traffic on the present
street railway lines of Washing
ton, since these buses will op-
crate entirely on the pavement
while within the District.

nor the admiration of my many
friends for your most kind and
splendid report concerning my

The story and the splendid

cannot fail to express the
human desire of being of help
to a veteran of his beloved pro-

Let's Talk About Movies

and let politics. political suicides, war and slide
out of this space for at least day.
The Government has begun talking about the movies
It has filed lawsuit under the Sherman antitrust law
against the eight leading movie companies-Paramount,
Loews Inc the Irving Trust Co., which is in the movies
as bankruptcy trustee for RKO Warner Brothers, Twen
tieth Century-Fox, Columbia Universal and United
Artists. 1t names raft of movie big shots individual
defendants.
Will H. Hays movie industry car, says in his GUS
tomary cheero that the industry welcomes the
suit; to which the proper appears to be "Oh,
YEAH" But without attempting to PREJUDICE the case,
We'll say it looks like good thing for which the in
dustry we'll may thank the Government after the agony
is
The Governments chief complaint is that the big movie
companies control too many theaters that the
movie fans-meanng between IS and 80 million of per
>, 1,,.,, week-have to take the big companies
A'G VICHOt products or none at all in far too many
C0nnotition cities and towns. This, the Govern
ment says is bad for the industry
Such condition would surely be bad for the news
paper industry For example suppose the News owned
most of the newsstands in town. and could thus keep the
bulk of the public from buying any paper but the News
Hlghmlnded and energetic all of on the News adj
NIT there would be terrific urge if the News
had such monopoly outlets for newspapers to let
tngs slip here and there in the shop The result could
hardly help being inferior to the present product
AS things are the News staff knows that it is in
daily battle with three other expert and aggressive
morning newspaper stats around town to see which
can put out the most marketable paper each day. The
competition is furious, and the results-we modestv
forbids, etc.
The Government says this condition departed long
since from the movie industry, to large degree 1t
claims that the big companies though there are eight of
the really constitute trust which controls between
SO per cent and 80 per cent all quality pictures pro-
duced in the United States
II that is true it should 60 far toward explaining the
movie lndustrys present sickness. Look Gf YOU can

Russia, Germany and Italy where all art is under gov
eminent control Art we believe must always be COM
pehtve will suffer grievously whenever competition is
killed whether government or private industry does the
killing.
We hope this suit may bring out the right answers to
all the complaints being aimed at the movies still our
greatest form of mass entertainment though radio is
creeping up them.

we detest), have those polls on
the subject been just trfe phony? Do the producers

not to run their affairs they said to be? Is

Mr.. Goldwyn is said to have offered
Heifetz a tempting sum of money to

necessary to photograph the violinist in

As result, it Is said that some loo, 900
