Among other things, he said:— “Any resemblance between the motion picture industry and creative art is purely co-incidental. “Under the leadership that the in- j dustry has today, I feel its functions j cannot be properly and courageously ; performed. “The present industry control j stifles and thwarts the creative elements which it employs in producing mass entertainment.” A hurt Hollywood at the moment is muttering darkly about people : who bite the hand that feeds them j and awaiting Bob’s return.
