Good Cheer — With Wholesomeness Is Christie Slogan for Year
Thomas A. Edison recently said "The mission of the motion picture is, FIRST, to make people happy, to bring more joy and cheer, and wholesome good will into this world of ours."
Edison’s statement is — or should be — the fundamental principle of the motion picture business. It seems in the search for the unusual, the bizarre, the exotic and the gorgeous, sometimes it has been forgotten that pictures are primarily for amusement, for entertainment, for bringing happiness.
It has always been the proud privilege of Christie Comedies to bring joy and cheer — with wholesomeness — for without the latter, all the comedy in the world is useless.
