Excerpt from The Motion Picture and a World-Wide Audience At this fateful hour when Americans, as never before, are conscious of world-wide interests, anxieties and efforts, the motion picture industry Offers this account of its activities. The industry draws its materials from the far reaches of the world. Its screen portrays a world-wide scene. It serves a world audience. It weaves a web of interest that reaches beyond all the seas and touches life everywhere. It creates a world community and because its basic themes are rooted in the common concerns of all people, it is a cohesive force in a world torn by conflict and discord. Nothing that is human is foreign to its art. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
