Sam Johnson, Jr., is softly whistling \"And Then You Row, Row, Row\" as he finishes lowering the blind. He punctuates his actions by his whistling as he moves along the shelf, adjusting the patent-medicine bottles which have been nudged out of line. He scoops two scraps of paper off the floor. He takes the duster, which he has been carrying under his arm, and holds it on the counter while he jauntily moves along until he reaches the rear of the shop. There he switches off three electric-light switches in tune to the last three notes of music and exits into a little combination dressing room and storeroom.","PeriodicalId":128945,"journal":{"name":"Hollywood Quarterly","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1949-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130951477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Goldwyn","doi":"10.2307/1209678","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/1209678","url":null,"abstract":"MOTION PICTURES are entering their third major era. First there was the silent period. Then the sound era. Now we are on the threshold of the television age. The thoroughgoing change which sound brought to picture making will be fully matched by the revolutionary effects (if the House Un-American Activities Committee will excuse the expression) of television upon motion pictures. I predict that within just a few years a great many Hollywood producers, directors, writers, and actors who are still coasting on reputations built up in the past are going to wonder what hit them. The future of motion pictures, conditioned as it will be by the competition of television, is going to have no room for the deadwood of the present or the faded glories of the past. Once again it will be true, as it was in the early days of motion picture history, that it will take brains instead of just money to make pictures. This will be hard on a great many people who have been enjoying a free ride on the Hollywood carrousel, but it will be a fine thing for motion pictures as a whole. Within a few years the coaxial cable will have provided a complete television network linking the entire country. Whether the expense that is involved in producing full-length feature pictures for television can possibly be borne by advertisers or will be paid for by individual charges upon the set owners, no one can say today. But we do know that with America's tremendous technological capabilities and our ability to adjust to new situations, nothing will stand in the way of full-length feature pictures in the home produced expressly for that purpose.","PeriodicalId":128945,"journal":{"name":"Hollywood Quarterly","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1949-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116871093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What I have to put forth in this article is yet another view, another one man's opinion, which insists that television is more important to the motion picture industry as a partner than as a competitor, and which proposes a means for \"joining 'em.\" It is based, I believe, on a minimum of crystal gazing, which, though often delightful as a pastime, is far from being a legitimate offspring of the science of optics. This by way of preamble. The major motion picture studios say it is impossible for them to make a \"quality\" product for television now at a mutually acceptable cost. Several of the small independents and some of the office-in-their-hats boys have tried their hand at it. No matter how much they have cut corners in production, however, few of them have been able to meet the buying price, and in general the cut corners have been all too obvious. The trouble as I, an admitted outsider to movies, see it, is that the major, minor, independent, and no-studio producers seem to","PeriodicalId":128945,"journal":{"name":"Hollywood Quarterly","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1949-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129231193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
