WANTS COLLEGE MEN TO ENTER THE MOVIES

"There is a crying need for college men to enter moving pictures," said Samuel Goldwyn, motion picture producer of note, to a CRIMSON reporter yesterday afternon

"I am not a college man," Mr. Goldwyn continued, "but I wish I had a college education. The college man of today is the smartest member of the population. Ask him or any one else. But he cannot know everything. He never realizes how much he doesn't know until he gets to be about forty.

Average Movie Fan Fails to Absorb

"You take two men from college and send them out into the world. One may get very much further than the other, but that all depends on whether he carries his education up his sleeve or in his head. We want the kind of men who carry it in their heads."

When questioned as to the effect which movies had on college men, and whether they should attend them, Mr. Goldwyn replied, "I only wish that more of the college men of today would see the movies. The drama is recognized as being the greatest way to put across ideas, and is one of the greatest mediums of education. The drama of the screen is viewed by hundreds of millions of people, a very small percentage of whom have developed the powers of absorption. Many moving pictures of today contain a portrayal of life as it is lived. The perception of the average movie fan is not keen enough for these ideas to get across. It is up to the college men to help us get them across."

Germans Glamor For Our Films

The question of the current claim that German pictures are superseding the American as the best produced, Mr. Goldwyn stated, "Nine tenths of the pictures shown in Germany come over from this country. If was in Germany last year, and the German producers were clamoring to have the American films barred, so that their productions could have some show.

"Only one German picture has come to this country and made a success of it," he remarked, "and that was 'The Last Laugh.'

"In fact," he said in conclusion, "the moving picture is the ambassador of America throughout the globe. We have no rival. That is why pictures are shown even in the most thinly populated countries."
