J. came to the conclusion that Upton Sinclair's article Big Business and Its Movies, appealed the most. It was a fine0! Mrs. Dan Dyer satire on the way things are run in "Movieland," and as money talks louder than truth — money wins. Truth is lacking in the way things are presented before the people — whether they swallow it or not lies with just how much knowledge they have regarding the true state of affairs. Just as long as "money" rules this outrage will go on. It is sad to think that an "industry" which could be such a potential influence for good in this world is ruled by the almighty dollar. Anything that would make the masses sit up and take notice," as the saying goes, is promptly squelched. I liked Upton Sinclair's article because it shows how the people are mis-led and shows to what extent the real truth is held back. However, I beg to take issue at his statement, namely, "movies being made for grown people who have remained at the mental age of children." You will find at the "movies" intelligent, well-read people, for they need a diversion as well as those not so well-educated. But outside of that statement I think Mr. Sinclair's article "hits the nail on the head." Screenland shows splendid judgment by adding him to its staff of writers. Here's hoping his articles will draw the wool from the too-easily hood-winked public. Mrs. Dan Dyer, 5016 Navarro Street, Los Angeles, Calif.
