Before the last war, the Office of the Co6rdinator of InterAmerican Affairs, to create better relations between the United States and South America, worked from the top down so far as films were concerned. John Jay Whitney, in charge of the Motion Picture Division, went to the financial heads of the film industry in New York and showed them that it would be good business to aid in improving relations with the Latin-American countries. The presidents of the companies cleared the way for co6peration between the studios and an office set up by the co6rdinator in Hollywood. This co6peration worked in three ways: First, the companies turned over to the CIAA any short films that it wished to re-edit and sound-track in Spanish and Portuguese and send to Central and South America in 16-mm. form, balancing films on countries south of the border which it showed in the United","PeriodicalId":128945,"journal":{"name":"Hollywood Quarterly","volume":"393 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1951-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116668706","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}

This board consists of three permanent members appointed by the crown for a five-year term, one of whom is designated as director of the board. These censors may not be in the employ of any company which produces, lends, sells, or distributes films. No film may be exhibited in Sweden in a theater for public performance without a license from the Censorship Board, whether it be a full-length feature, a newsreel, or a short subject. Both Swedish and foreign films come before this board.* Any run-of-the-mill film may get by with only one censor viewing it and giving it his personal approval, with license to distribute it for public showing. However, if any doubt arises in his mind as to the propriety of passing the film, the other censors may have a look at it, and then by joint discussion decide whether any cuts are necessary. Very often the censors have to call on the services of specialists and experts in certain fields, who might be called ex-officio members of the Censorship Board, or adjunct members. There are, for example, psychiatric experts who are retained to detect deleterious psychological influences inherent in the plot or the situation of the films. If a question is raised about the showing of newsreels dealing with Sweden's national defense, an officer from Sweden's","PeriodicalId":128945,"journal":{"name":"Hollywood Quarterly","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1951-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127922895","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}

Friedman","doi":"10.2307/1209665","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/1209665","url":null,"abstract":"RECENTLY the author attended a meeting of educators discussing the possibilities of the use of television in the classroom. Their enthusiasm grew less when someone mentioned that television sets were quite expensive, very limited in their visual range, and immobile. Someone else observed that educators had not actually taken advantage of radio, which had been around a good deal longer and had presented very few of the complex problems now posed by this latest goliath. Whatever the eventual outcome of this discussion, the fact remains that we very seldom take full advantage of what we have at hand before we become infatuated with newer gadgets. The magnetic recorder-which began by using wire and dischas now been with us almost as long as motion pictures, beginning its development more than fifty years ago. Using plastic or paper tape impregnated with metal, it received a tremendous impetus during World War II, and emerged as a very practical and economical competitor in the field of communication. The magnetic tape recorder is easily portable and very simple to operate, and it offers many advantages over film and radio. The magnetic tape recorder is now a full-fledged member of our family. It would be criminal to treat this talented youngster as a poor relation when his full maturity holds much promise for the intimate study of our social problems. The tape recorder is already being used in many educational institutions.
