T ▼ ▼ • • • LET'S NOT FORGET PEARL HARBOR! Cuban Distributors Invading Radio Field (Continued from Page 1 ) pected that a wave of similar deals may come shortly from countries of both Central and South America, where motion picture interests have been avidly eyeing the field of broadcasting as an invaluable adjunct to film promotion. Here, radio has proved a promotional bonanza to producers as well as exhibitors, and also in a direct measure to distribution channels. Broadcasts have favorably affected attendance at spot engagements, and are also known to be a stimulant in advance of films' releases. In most Pan-American nations, industry leaders are profiting by the lesson learned from the U. S., where movie interests too long and mistakenly regarded radio as compettitive instead of a helpful adjunct. There is no such attitude in the other Americas. Mexico's and Argentina's film trade, as well as that in other countries, are understood to be arranging closer alliances with radio. Already film investments in the air medium are extensive, and more links are looked for. Studio Strike Hearing By Green Off Till Today (Continued from Page 1) been postponed to today.
