In some respects, and in some pictures, the various aspects of this life have been fairly and adequately represented. But in the main it cannot be said that American life has been truthfully and fairly represented to the world in the pictures that have been manufactured at Hollywood for the enter- tainment of cinema crowds. A medium so largely used to satisfy a demand for sensationalism and sentimen- tal romance cannot be expected to yield a consistently representative picture of social life of the United States or any other country But it was noticed in England that during the whole period of the visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to Canada and the United States, aspects of American life were repeatedly shown that are too rarely seen on the films. The intense interest with which these pu:ures of American scenes, public life, people, and social behavior were watched by millions of people in Bnmm suggests that much more might be done in this way to convey realistic impressions of all as| ts of American life to people abroad. When the real thing is put before them it is seen that the interest of a British crowd is awakened It is important that people in one country should not merely read about what is happening in another country, but visualize it. constantly seeing its public men in all spheres of activity, its public buildings, its eets and also scenes from normal life, so that v become almost as familiar with the appear- i the sounds of a foreign country as their nversely, if t see another country read more about ether the films and can go far in breaking down the barriers in tional life and build! up positive under- (Christian Science Whether or not the bill! of | DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5 .¢7{6roscope The stars incline # but do not compel”’ Harry I.
