INTRODUCTION xiii learn things from the beginning again, we must all start from the bottom of the ladder. We have discovered not merely a new technique. We have discovered a new social force for the world, and a new ambition for ourselves. It gives an added zest to life to find, after years of a settled line of business, that we can still embark on new adventures in that business, backed by the momentum acquired from past hard work, the wisdom based on past experience, and the confidence born of past success. We have been like Alexander the Great, sighing for new worlds to conquer, and now the audible screen suddenly offers us these new worlds. We realize that nothing hereafter can be settled or cut and dried. Now come colored pictures and the wide screen to broaden our horizons still further. All the vast possibilities for the future enrichment of the screen have had the way opened for them by talking pictures. I for one am very glad that talking pictures happened. Jesse L. Lasky
