TELEVISION AND MOTION PICTURES Television in the theatre is a development for tho future, and for many years will not affect the attendance or tho standing of motion pictures. Television is adapted to reproduce a few events for many individuals in many small groups; in other words, to reach the public in their homes. The motion picture and the theatre are adapted to reproduce a few events to many individuals in a few large groups; that is, to entertain the public in theatres. Wo shall look to television as a source of news and timely presentations, and to the theatre for highly artistic productions of classics. Television can present events as they happen as well as recorded versions of the happenings. The great purpose of television is not to supersede other forms of entertainment, but to supplement the broadcast of sound in the same, manner that sound supplemented vision in motion pictures.
