"THE BLOCK-BUSTER" IP JL EOPLE who have never heard a radio pro- gram and have never been to a movie will not be interested in this book. It is a history of the future—a telescopic view of a revolution which is certain to come in the entertainment industry soon after the war. So if you derive your livelihood from making people laugh or cry or have goose-pimples or run down to the corner drug-store to buy some- thing they didn't know they needed two minutes ago, then this revolution is going to be very important to you. If, on the other hand, your closest approach to Bette Davis has been a loge in your neighborhood theatre on Saturday night, you may find it good fun to take a back-stage tour of an industry which is going to spend a billion dollars yearly entertaining you. That's what this book is really. A trip back-stage in the coming industry of television.
