The Future of Pictures Of course the public is the czar of motion pictures, and rightly so. It is both stupid and unfair for writers to condemn the public for not appreciating their wares, because the public has the right to purchase the kind of entertainment it prefers. After all, it is the money of the public which builds the theaters, produces the pictures and plays, turns the presses of the publishing houses, and gives the successful artists their livelihood. The artist, the author, the actor, the director, the musician, has the right to buy the type of automc bile, home, clothing, etc., which suits his fancy; the public has the same right, whether it be purchasing raiment or entertainment. Therefore, if the public should wish nothing but talking pic tures, the public must be served. But the real artist will know tears should the silent picture be relegated to oblivion. [109]
