| Description: | Catholic members of the Motion Picture Industry, after Mass at St. Patrick's cathedral meet at a communion breakfast and hear the reverend Father James Keller stress the importance Motion Pictures play in the social life of the nation. Establishing shot - Over head shot of the round tables set up for breakfast. MS - Motion Picture officials sitting at the table. CUS - Ann Blyth CUS - Monsignor Thomas Little. OHS - Motion Picture people applauding. MS - Father James Keller quotes the words of His Holiness, Pope Pius XII. "The immense amount of good that the motion picture can effect. That is why, the evil spirit always selective in this world wishes to pervert this instrument for some impious purpose. It is public opinion to support whole heartily, effectively every legitimate effort to purify the film and keep them clean. To improve them and increase a usefulness. Only one thought that I can add to that, uh, not add to it but underscore it is; You haven't touched, you haven't more than touched the possibility of motion pictures for the world. The good and wonderful entertainment that I think the people will flock to the theaters if they get in abundance, thank you". LS - Audience applauding, camera pans. | |
