His message reads as follows: “The public is not vet ready for color entertainment. While a point very near perfection has been reached and many production and cost obsta- cles have been overcome, the black- and-white picture will dominate for some time to come. “I hope I am wrong, for I believe eolor and third-dimension are the next great steps forward, the logical successors to sound.
