The command is forward : selections from addresses on the motion picture industry in war and peace (1944)

"Emperor Jones" vs. "The Lost Chord" (From an address at Red Cross Rally, Ziegfeld Theatre, New Yor\, March 18, 1943.) To attain our goal in this financial campaign, we need (1) a sense of direction, (2) a sense of power, and (3) a sense of mission. Representatives of the American Red Cross who have already appeared on this program have clarified our sense of direction with their exposition of the organization's wartime program at home and overseas. They have analyzed the budget and outlined the campaign. We of motion pictures sense the growing power of this industry through wartime unity and experience to achieve increasingly difficult objectives. We are confident that we can secure more money for the Red Cross through industry gifts and theatre collections than in any previous effort. Let's review the record to date of our industry's gifts and theatre collections: (1) $777,586.26 for Greek War Relief. (2) $997,885.95 in the 1941 theatre collection for U.S.O. (3) $ij338>96o.37 for the 1942 March of Dimes. (4) $1,425,000.00 for United Nations Relief. (5) $2,120,212.66 for Army-Navy Emergency Relief. (6) $2,116,539.18 for 1943 Infantile Paralysis Campaign. 37
