256 SOUND MOTION PICTURES ters in connection with motion picture production. First of all there is the concrete evidence of how far the producer's scope is widened. Once satisfied to confine his studies to optic function (and there mainly as regarded light and shadow), now he annexes the domain, not merely of speech, but of audition. He is the richer in function and in power. On the other hand, as each fresh acquisition brings its accompanying responsibility, he finds himself a man of redoubled obligation. He owes it to himself to reach out to a larger grasp, because he owes it to the industry and most of all to the public. But I must apologize for saying that either my words or the brief experience of the business "reveals" these things. It might be better to say merely that they "indicate" the fresh opportunities and the fresh burdens. Yet even though what we hold in our hands be less a power than a potentiality, the magnitude of what we glimpse is enough to arouse every energy toward fulfilment, every determination not to rest until we have made the future ours!
