Pan! ; G reen jr oresees Little - " Cinema Movement In Colleges o University Should Be Pioneer in Production of Films for Purpose of Raising Movie StandardsSays Playwright-Scenarist, j "Think of the fun we - could have making movies on this cam pus. That's what appeals to me," said Paul Green, professor of philosophy at the University, playwright, and scenarist for numerous Hollywood produc tions, on his return from New York where his play, "Roll Sweet Charioi" was .recently produced. : Enthusiastic about the future of the movies, Green looks to the colleges for the production of intelligent pictures. "Within the hear future," he said, "a little cinema movement, is cer tain to come." Green, who is familiar with the movie indus try, having written scenarios in Hollywood, is convinced that the development of the cinema as an art will be accomplished by ama teur groups.

Woodhouse, who acted as "efficency expert" f or last night's meeting, com mented briefly on each of the speeches, warning against gen eralization in public statements. "Youth," he said, "is especial ly prone to use the words 'never,' ever,' and 'forever'."

Would Produce Classics " "With sufficient financial back ing," he continued, "any little theater . group could set up a studio and produce films of great artistic value. Not having to please the masses for financial success as do the professional producers, the amateurs will be free to experiment at will with the cinema.
