106 JUVENILE DELINQUENCY is a very impressive series, I must say. I think they are very bad, indeed. They are terrible and they shouldn't be permitted. Chairman Kefauver. Some of them are much worse than the movies; aren't they ? Dr. Frym. They certainly are. In defense of the movies, you must say this. I believe it is another section of the movie industry which is responsible for these posters, rather than the men who produce the pictures. Chairman Kefauver. Anything else, Mr. Bobo ? Mr. BoBO. Do you think that the impact of some of these particular posters could have an effect, a lasting effect on a child more so than a movie would have ? Dr. Frym. Well, yes, they could have a very strong dynamic effect, but only as a trigger mechanism. I believe even adults should be pro- tected from this kind of trash. Chairman Kefauv^er. Then, Doctor, summing up, do you feel a lot of movies are wholesome, educational, entertaining, and a good influ- ence on children generally ? Dr. Frym. Yes. Chairman Kefauv^er. Some unfortunately are not. You feel that really the wholesome movies can be as attractive, attract as good houses as the other kind ? Dr. Frym. I personally am an optimist. I believe this. Senator; yes. Chairman Kefauver. We thank you very much for your statement to our subcommittee. Dr. Frym. Thank you. Chairman Kefauver. We are glad to have Mr. Waters, the United States attorney, and Mr. Kinnison, with us. Mr. Kinnison was here sitting with us. Mr. Waters. Mr. Kinnison has been here and gone. Chairman Kefauver. He came and he went. STATEMENT OE DOEE SCHAEY, VICE PRESIDENT IN CHARGE OF PRODUCTION, METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER, HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.

We appreciate your cooperation with our subcommittee. I thought that you had a written statement. Mr. Schary. No, I don't have a written statement. Chairman Kefauver. You have something written out there. ]\Ir. Schary. Well, I have some notes on information that may be of importance, depending on the questions. I figured that I'd best come in with a very open mind, and let's see what happens. Chairman Kefauver. All right, Mr. Bobo, do you wish to ask Mr. Schary some preliminary questions? Mr. Bono. Mv. Scliary, you are vice president in charge of produc- tion, and how long have you been with the movie industry, and in what capacity ? Mr. Schary.
