216 JUVENILE DELINQUENCY 1. CRIME PREVENTION^ CRIME DOES NOT PAY Beginning more than 15 years ago, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pro- duced a series of dramatized incidents proving that crime doesn't pay. Some of these incidents relate to serious crimes like arson, armed robbery, and murder; some have to do with racketeering which milks the public, such as dishonest loan agencies, dishonest employment agencies, and dishonest charity solicitations; and some deal with sucli civilian practices as smuggling. These pictures have had very wide distribution in the theaters throughout the years. The crime preven- tion bureaus of several States have availed themselves of these pic- tures in 16 mm. film for use in juvenile courts and elsewhere after tri« theatrical distribution has been completed. 2. CITIZENSHIP AND PATRIOTISM (a) The Washington Parade series Those of US who live in Washington realize how many thousands oi high-school students come to Washington to see the Nation's Capital and the shrines which are associated with it. These, however, are but a small fraction of the millions of J^oung people who should have this inspiring experience. With this in mind, Columbia Pictures made a series of pictures called the Washington Parade with separate subjects on the Capitol, the White House, the Treasury, the Library of Congress, the FBI, the social security program, and others. These were made with the close collaboration and advice of the Government departments, and the pictures were distributed in theaters throughout the country. Each subject reached many millions of people. Following theatrical distribution, they were then made available to the schools of the United States, with no profit to the company, and are still being seen and enjoyed by the many who don't have the op- portunity to visit Washington in person. ( h) Epics of A 7n erican history For a number of years. Paramount Pictures has dramatized expan- sion movements which have made the United States the great Nation it is. The list is too large to detail here in its entirely, but included are such motion pictures as The Plainsmen, Union Pacific, Maid of Salem, Wells Fargo, and High, Wide and Handsome, which is the story of the discovery and development of oil. (c) This is America series K.KO Radio Pictures has produced and distributed a series which interprets various phases of American life and thinking. The series is called This is America. In this way, the movements and mores of America Have been interpreted not only to our own people, but in showing the rest of the world some of the things that make America great. (d) The Warner patriotic series Another project is the series of 12 patriotic short subjects produced by Warner Bros, as a tribute by its president, Mr. Harry M. Warner, to what he called the only country in the world where I could have realized my achievements.
