    To Quote Charley Grapewin, "Woo-Woo!"

    The Hollywood studios, big and small, could wrangle endlessly about pride of place and who had the best talent, but one thing they all agreed on was that movies were swell. That's why every one of the distribution arms of the majors, minors, and the independents distributors took copies of thiss promotional film and sent them out to theaters.

    It points out that most of the money spent at the theater stays in the community. It points out that the movies promote an international and peaceful viewpoint. It points out that newsreels keep people informed about what's going on. But mostly it points out that Hollywood is making some good pictures.
