Hollywood — Where Do we Go from Here?

Wilton R. Holm

It is Almost a tradition that when our Society holds a technical conference in Los Angeles, the President includes in his opening remarks some comments about Hollywood, the state of the industry, what technology did for it yesterday, and what technology promises to do tomorrow. I have had so many requests to consider this in depth, that I shall do just that. I do this, not because I believe areas of interest other than the motion-picture industry are less important, but because I think the question of whether or not Hollywood can survive as an entity is of over-riding importance at this time and in this place. And it seems somehow appropriate that I should do this, because it was the motion-picture industry that gave birth to this Society way back in 1916.
