...cinema industry is full of exhibitionists. Consequently, before any picture starts, audiences are compelled to sit through several minutes of a tedious visual roll call which includes practically everyone connected with the enterprise, from the carpenter who made the sets to the musician who rewrote Wagner's overture to Tannhauser, and omits only the banker who put up the money. Because cinemaddicts pay little attention to this list except to deplore it, they entertain vague notions, that moving pictures are either: 1) made haphazard by a collection of overpaid addleheads who speak only a few words of English...
...Nowadays it does not seem much better than a bore, and all the flounced dresses, veranda columns and old plantation dialogue in Hollywood-on which The Toy Wife appears to be trying to corner the market-cannot completely change it. Produced with MGM's customarily scrupulous attention to visual detail, the picture relates with considerable pictorial beauty the lachrymose story of Gilberte Brigard, nicknamed "Frou Frou."

...films and the rental of projection equipment, eke out its own living, its sources of potential value to the University are being wasted through the indifference of officials.

Thus, the Service runs on precarious finances, since its income is impossible, to estimate beforehand and the fixed sums contributed by the departments using the Service comprise only about two months of salaries. But the fact that if it loses money, it may lose its head is probably...
...been proven by the Graduate School of Education and the defunct Film Foundation that visual education increases the rate of learning by 25 per cent, that of retention by 38 per cent. Progressive schools and colleges are depending more and more upon moving pictures to supplement oral and book teaching. Realizing that the field is still in rompers, the H.F.S. would like to work with the School of Education in doing research. But any research and any end of the waste now rampant because of financial insecurity and duplication of movie equipment are unthinkable without the donation of a reasonable...
