Aldous Huxley Turns To Films
Aldous Huxley, English writer, has become a partner in a newlyformed American film production company called Film Associates, Inc., which will operate in New York and Hollywood. Huxley will put both money and artistic effort into the venture, which plans to make shorts, documentaries and feature films. Their first production will probably be based on a script by Joseph Krumgold on a historical theme, In his new venture, Huxley will have a high standard of film-mak-ing to live up to-his own, which he set when he wrote, in his book "On the Margin": "To the interminable democracies of the world, a million cinemas bring the same stale balderdash. . . . Countless audiences soak passively in the tepid bath of nonsense. No mental effort is demanded of them, no participation; they need only sit and keep their eyes open."
