Movies Are No Good at ALI

these pictures are not great"
(Although the gross revenue of
the industry is rising due to higher
ticket prices, the number of people
attending movies has dropped. The
number of tickets sold each week in
1945 averaged 80 to SO million. In
1916 the total dropped to around 80
snillion)
They're Afraid"
Why, demands Menjou, doesn't
the industry at least try to make
a picture about Russia? He believes
it would be a terrific" movie"
on the greatest topic of the day"
But of course they won't make
it. They're afraid"
Although he's writing one, Men
iou doesn't think much of books
ability to reach the majority of the
public. "You can't depend on people
to read them"
"If you're going to try to reach
any great portion of the public, the
only way you can do it is through
the movies"
when I was in England recently"
Menjou recalls, Il interviewed
George Bernard Shaw. {Shaw has
signed a contract to produce movies
in Hollywood) Shaw feels that the
movies are the greatest medium The
world has even invented. Ieagree.
The power of the films has never
been touched. The morals, politics,
and the economics of the whole
world could be affected if movies
were to use their potentialities."
