J. K. Kulghum has a very interesting book. A medical volume it was published in 1755 just 185 years ago. Head ing in this volume is rather slow as you must allow for the fancy 'f" used in those days where we now use an The standard "s" is of course used if it ends a word. 11?11 la a Passing Parade short sub ject. John Nesbit points out that men are more slaves to fashion than are women. For instance, tihe tails of our coats are only split today because our ancestors found the split coat more conven ient in sitting astride their horses. That lapels exist because some forgotten captain in a hot and dusty battle of the past opened and turned back his tight uni form collar and found he had room to breathe. That buttons on Uhe sleeve exist because an em peror of old put them on the uni forms of his guards to stop the undignified habit of scratching the nose with the sleeve. That al most every man leaves unfasten ed t*he bottom button of his vest because a paunchy European king had a fondness for overeating and left the bottom button of his waistcoat undone to give room to his expanded waistline. Thus started tihe men's fashion fads that linger faithfully today. II? n A dealer in the middle west just received the following or der for phonograph records . from a farmer. The farmer .stated that the titles expressed how he felt about the world .situation today. The titles or dered were "God Bless Ameri ca" and "Ihe story, while an accurate picturization of small town life, accomplished nothing and bored with it's slowness. To our way oi thinking "Our Town" failed in it's most important assignment, that) of pleasing and entertaining a majority of those who saw it. We are of the view that culture can be worked into pictures with out sacrificing entertainment'. This entertainment is the princi pal Job of Hollywood. That is all we have to sell. One of the finest examples we have seen of perfect ly balanced entertainment) with Just enouglf classical music to make a grand show was "My Love Came Back." This picture pleased one hundred per cent and at the same time presented some of the finer music amid a well bal anced comedy setting that) gave us culture and made us like it. Sev eral patrons saw this picture twice which was an excellent endorse ment of It's merit. There are those who say t>he movies have a Job to do in revealing facts and exhibiting informational and edu cational pictures to the public. ' We heartily agree with these peo ple but let tihe producers work In their culture, education and re vealing facts but let them produce entertainment and not sacrifice this important quality. Tl>e most successful shows are those that while giving culture and signifi cance give most of all enjoyment and entertainment to the audi ence as witness "Edison. The Man", "Northwest) Passage", "You Can't Take It With You", "An thony Adverse', "The Story of Louis Pasteur" and many others. So back to the principal fact that a small town bheatre cannot sell culture, but it can sell entertain ment In which culture exists but not in top heavy proportions.

CAROLINA Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation The Poorest Place to Tell a Lie! IT lias been said by some of our radical reformers that adver tising misleads the public. Such accusations fall under their own weight. The poorest place in the world to attempt a lie is in the advertising columns of American newspapers and magazines, and in American radio programs. In the first place, our publishers and broadcasting companies wouldn't carry dishonest advertising. They outlawed it long ago. In the second place, such efforts to mislead would be con ducted in full view of the public and of the officials empowered to apply fraud laws. In the third place, 'rfkfcomK advertising is as inefficient as dirty football. It does not pop. Informed people have lost interest in the advertising-baiting books and speeches of the radial seff-appointed reformers since one after another of them has figured prominently before the House Special Committee on un-American Activities.
