On behalf of the technicians behind the scenes in the theaters of America and those who make and project our moving pictures, I am happy to have this opportunity to say "hello" to the stage and screen workers of other lands. In these times when so much hatred and misery are abroad in the world, we are mindful that the spirit of good will has a stubborn way of surviving at theaters everywhere. It flows in through the doors with the patrons. It shines out across the footlights — and is reflected every day and night from untold thousands of screens. At this season when the good will in every heart just naturally flows to the surface, I extend to you and all vour countrymen the greetings of fellow workers in America.
