...educational influence of this latest form of entertainment is not confined to foreign parts. If the movies have made the American nation conscious of clothes and polite manners, it is also claimed that the talkies will bring the country's speech to a high standard. Perhaps it is not too much to expect that the talkies will give the American people a solidarity of accent. In the hands of a few producers lies the fate of the nation's tongue...

Whether this can be maintained when the corporations are made into creatures of the central political authorities (since they depend upon these authorities for recognition) is doubtful to me. It might with more justification be maintained that they bring about a rigid bureaucratization of the social strata, which elsewhere are left more or less to their own council and initiative.

These properties-cream of the Seminole, Kay, Kansas, and North Texas fields-yield 34,000 barrels a day, and will bring Prairie's gross daily production up to about 105,000 barrels. They put into Producer Slick's pocket between $50,000 and $60,000 per day. Reports from Tulsa put the sale price at $40,000,000; but Prairie Chairman-of-the-Board W. S. Fitzpatrick said...
