Plont: Foot of Sqnfq Fc Avenuo, long Bcach yeer! in furnirhing the material for radio cabinctr. So, in thc battle that har now ttartcd between radio and telc' vision-a battlc that may be to thc finirh of one of themthe hardwood indurtry standt at the ringride and applaude bothgladiatorr.

Will tclcvision deetroy radio and movies? This queation ie debated continually these daye, as the television uFtwcep gains momentum. One thing is certain: televigion is in itg infancy, is just getting fairly started. What it wiU accomplirh in the way of new and novel entertainment ie of course problematical, but there seems much justification for the claims of even the greatest of televigion brags. It ie generally reported that movie theatres are plainly showing the effects of television competition, and that radio is doing the same, although you can't count noseE in radio like you can in theatres.

We have already had reports from various parts of the country that television competition has cut down attendance at boxing matches, wrestling arenas' baseball and football games, as well as in theatres. In Los Angeles one of tfie big wrestling arenas cut out their programs until they could get rid of television, which they claimed was killing attendance'

The television comics are kidding the radio boys, and vice versa. The air waves are full of it. It's a merry battle. Television has revived actors who seemed to be permanently dead and buried until this fickering picture machine came along. Joe E. Lewis, night club champ, cracks, "Well, television has finally discovered me; they're trying to sell me a set.tt

And there are many indications that the very dumb movie industry has seen some frightening signs on the wall, for it is working hard on the sympathies of the public. "Movies are better than ever," is the sign you read in all the movie theatres now. As a fan who is a sucker for good movies, I rise to remark that I wish it were true. Unfortunately it isn't so. Yes, sir, I'm a movie fan from who laid the chunk. I go to at least two movies a week, and the only reason I don't go to more is because good entertainment in the movie houses is so regrettably scarce. Lamentably scarce.

It is my honest opirrioi ail", iroa more than one out of every ten movier I go to, ir worth eithcr my timc or my moncy. I often agree with the critic who raid that a movic hero ir a man who can rit through one.

But I'm an incurable optimilt. I keep right on going. Hope certainly eprings eternal in the breaet of the human who pays his money at e movie theatre window, and then walks in expecting to feel as happy, as inspired, ar stimulated, as amused, or as enthused, aa when hc wcnt in.

At a tea party a woman was relating some tragic matters ehc had come upon among her ncighbors. Another spoke up and said, "Please don't tell any more. The Lord knows there's enough misery and unhappiness in the moviee without having it in real life, too." *

The lady had something. In fact, she had the key to the movie problem. I could tell you what's wrong with the movies, but it would fill the rest of this book. The trouble is at the top of the industry. The thinking departmcnt is unbelievably weak. Great improvement has come to the industry in many lines. Marvels of mechanics have been wrought. And below the top level, I have great respect for the industry. But the executive department, where all the waste, and extravagance, and horrible bad taste originates, is to blame for so many bad movies. It's a long story.

Over the air the other night, I heard this one: a man was teaching his young son to cuss and swear. Said he was training him to be President.
