this continent is Hollywood. Indeed, shooting is taking place all over and New York is starting to assert its importance. The advent of TV and its employment of so much acting talent is building a fine reservoir. While there is no motion picture value in a boxoffice sense, these people are becoming accustomed to emoting be¬ fore cameras and this is important to a producer studying Canada as a field of operation. There is as yet a shortage of good studio space but this may come sooner than most people suspect. TV pro¬ duction is just gaining a foothold and it may well be the forerunner of theatrical film production. It will be exciting to watch this development. Further change in the conduct of our business in Canada will be influenced to some extent by the trends in other coun¬ tries, particularly in the United States. In the meantime, the continued elimination of over-seating and unnecessary seating will strengthen the industry and prepare it to face whatever changes are necessary in this new electronic era.
