STANDARD ART STUDIOS 100 East Ohio Street Dept. 493-B CHICAGO, ILLINOIS ransTorum FIRST PRIZE LETTER $10.00 Whenever I see a movie, I can't help experiencing the urge to shout in joyful thanksgiving. Every American film, whether good, bad, or indifferent, is a living and pulsating symbol of Freedom. Can you imagine a Nazi version of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," a picture possibly entitled, "Herr Schmidt Goes to Berlin"? It certainly takes a gigantic stretch of the imagination to visualize a movie that would parody Nazi leaders and Hitlerian politics. Nazi big-wigs kidded, even good-naturedly? Impossible! If such a thing occurred — and you and I know how remote this possibility is ! — countless lives would inevitably pay for it. A screen musical like "This Is the Army" or "You'll Never Get Rich" would also be impossible in Nazi Germany. Imagine pickle-puss Schicklgruber, little Joe Goebbels, and fat Goering being jokingly enacted on the Reich screen! But perhaps it is better this way; the unholy three are definitely louder and funnier "as is" ! Yes, we Americans can be thankful that we live where we can see the movies we want, when we want them. We can also be justly grateful that our intellects aren't stunted and perverted by the poison of Goebbel's propaganda. We can also be thankful that our youngsters have Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, instead of screen lessons in beastiality. Thank God for America — and for the privilege of seeing American motion pictures ! MRS. PAULINE SALTZMAN, Grand Rapids, Mich. SECOND PRIZE LETTER $5.00 I wish to tell you how we soldier boys feel about the movies and players. First, we would like to see Ginger Rogers make more pictures with Fred Astaire. She's really tops ! We would also like to see more films like "Pride of the Yankees," "Gentleman Jim," and "The Black Swan." Give us another powerful drama like "Now, Voyager," and why not revive "Stella Dallas," "The Awful Truth," and "Show Boat"? We want to see Greer Garson win the Academy Award for "Mrs. Miniver," and would like Joan Crawford to do another film similar to "A Woman's Face." Bring Greta Garbo back in a tragedy-drama as of old. And, please, Screenland, if you have any influence we would like to see poor Lee Bow Write A Letter For Freedom! This issue's 'first prize winner saj "Can you imagine a Nazi version 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' . a movie that would parody Nazi lea ers" ? The writer is right — it cou never happen on the Reich screen, b. here in America we can make and the films we like. That's Americ; Freedom! Help preserve it by buyii War Bonds. By writing a letter to tr Forum voicing your opinion about movies and its stars, you can win oi of the War Savings Stamps prizes start you on your next Bond purchas Prizes: first, $10.00; second, $5.0 and five prizes of $1.00 each, all pa able in War Stamps.
