JUVENILE DELES^QUENCY 109' will look at the film as it comes through, along with the producer and the director, and then we begin to assemble the picture; we begin to put those daily pieces of work together. Following the shooting of the picture it is all strung together. We have what is called the rough cut, the rough showing. We look at it and we make our final decisions about it, do some cutting, perhaps some retaking of scenes that we do not like, and then the picture is handed over to the sound and music department where it is finally completed. We then go out to preview the picture. If it is a good preview, we do' very little; if it is a bad preview, we have to do a little bit more, and depending on the success of the first preview, we may or may not have a second preview, it is finalh^ finished and given its final dubbing job, sound job, and then handed over to the various departments for sales and distribution. Chairman IvErAu%'ER. "U'Tiere is the script or the scenario submitted to the code committee ? Mr. ScHART. Well, that is submitted in its very first form, and very often when we have a challenging story, a story that we feel may run into certain problems affecting the code, we will submit the story to them before we do the screenplay, and get their advice, and let them warn us as to where the sensitive points are, and that will guide us in the writing of the screenplay. Then we submit the screen play to them, the first act of the screenplay, and they send us a letter tell- ing us what's wrong or what's right, telling us where the areas of danger are. If there seem to be points that need discussion, we will meet with Mr. Shurlock or his representatives and get everything straightened out. Chairman IvEFAinTR. Well then, after the first run or the rough film is made, does Mr. Shurlock or any members of the code commit- tee review the picture as it Mr. ScHART. They see the picture usually after we have previewed it. At that time it is still in very loose form and they call the cor- rections that they want to make. Sometimes they will see it before preview. Chairman Kefauver. And then if they do have suggestions about changes, those are considered and usually made ? Mr. ScHART. They are always made if they say they must be made> Chairman Kefacts'er. And where is the advertising for the pictures prepared ? Mr. ScHART. In the New York advertising office. Chairman Kefatjv^er. In j'our case by the Metro-Goldwjm-Mayer Xew York office ? Mr. ScHARY. That's right. Chairman Kefauver. And each motion-picture producer has its own advertising department. Mr. Schary. Each producing company. Chairman Kefau^'er. Each producing company. Mr. Schary. That's right. Chairman Kefau^-er. There are some producing companies, though, that handle some advertising of some films for a number of inde- pendents, aren't there ? 64765—55 8
