1925 THE motion picture industry looks forward with confidence to the year that is just beginning. More than ever are its various elements — competitive commercially, but co-operative for the general Cause — living up to their responsibilities to the public, whose servants we all are. The 1924 result has been the greatest number of fine pictures and splendid presentations we have ever known. Records have been broken for long runs of pictures, for numbers of patrons who have seen these pictures, for receipts from them. And the recordbreakers have been fine, clean pictures. They have been artistic as well as commercial successes. They have elevated the whole industry in the regard of the world. With a proper feeling of gratification for our progress, but with a much greater feeling of gratitude to the public which made that progress possible by its support and encouragement, we will all press forward. The success of 1924 is but the urge for larger accomplishment in 1925. 1
