SEES TELEVISION AS FIELD FOR MOVIES
The motion picture industry, rather than the radio "broad¬ casters, will doubtless sponsor and control television once it is placed on a commercial basis, is the opinion of Radio Commissioner Harold A. Lafount.
In a formal statement issued Oct. 25th, he said in part:
"It is only logical that the moation picture interests, with their vast reservoirs of talent, should be interested in television. The ‘movies of the air*, for that * s what television is destined to be, will require the acme of showmanship, and there is no group better qualified to supply it than the motion picture producers.
"We do not know whether television will be routed into the homes via wires, like the telephone, or whether it will be hurtled through space . . . It is my own view that the evolution of television will be a' great theatrically controlled entertainment and educational medium, which more than likely will be made available along wires,"
