He has the lovely humility of the truly great. When I asked for an appointment, by telephone, it was granted immediately, within the hour of asking, without question. He did not know who I was nor what I wanted of him. That wouldn't matter. I was a human being desiring to see him. The petty pomps of little souls are not for him. No circumstance attends this youth who has been called the Second Christ. Such trifling poor pretensions are reserved for the make-believers of the world. He is very simple, this youth who had come to give us the message of Happiness. A happiness not dependent on the things the eye can see nor the things the hand can touch. And by being simple, he explained to me, he does not mean to be crude. But to be simple is the first end for which we all should strive. The complicated mind and the complicated heart serve only to distort the truth. Of the movies I said, "Have you ever seen a picture, or any part of a picture, that seemed to you to hold so much as a glimpse of the vision you hold?" And he was, at that one question, more emphatic than at any other time. "No," he said, and was agitated as a lake is agitated when a May breeze fingers it, "Please, no — no — no " "The King of Kings?" I prompted. . He said, "Something that is passed. That picture, it was not creative. You see — do you see, we have no power over the past. We have only the future " "But you do believe in the Screen? In its power? In its possibilities?" "Oh, yes — yes ! It has everything. It is limitless in its power, but — it has not used that power. It has everything but " He paused, distressed. In his innate charity for all things and for all men he hesitated to place an onus anywhere. "Everything," I said for him, "everything but the men of vision. The men who would give the world great dreams to dream and never count the cost." He said, a little sadly, "Yes — everything is pushed down — you see? Pushed down and down, to lower levels " and with his slender hands he made the gesture of pushing down, lowering, crushing to earth. And I had the vision of the producers of Hollywood crushing souls into rank undergrowth, stifling and smothering them. He told me that here we are in cages. We live our lives in cages and never get outside. And we spend our lives decorating the bars. We believe that there is comfort in life. We seek for comfort of one sort or another. We pray God for it. And there is no comfort. There is no comfort because life is a search. Because all socalled comfort is dependent on some other one, some other thing. And so forever transient. He said that the screen gives us a pool of water, muddied. It soon dries up, leaving no trace. What we are thirsting for is a lake with an illimitable source. The screen gives us little tales of little, momentary loves. Carnal loves. Men and women. Women and men. In cages. Loves that cannot matter. The Germans have shown us a bit of what the screen might do, but — they have shown us in the wrong direction. The screen is giving us but a small opening, an aperture, when we should be looking through its wide windows into the heavens. We should be because it would be possible. Because to the screen all things are possible. It would seem that there must arise men of power to replace the men in power now. Men who can say with Krishnamurti, "What have I done with all that knowledge, with all the labels, with all the phrases and all the jargons I have learned? In zvhat way have I created ? In what way have I given and brought joy to those people who suffer and are longing and desirous to learn, those people who are fumbling in the darkness?"
