Hollywood and the Motion Picture Engineers

K. C. D. Hickman

A Gentleman (not myself) recently obtained an interview with the manager of a large picture corporation in Hollywood. He explained to his host that while the corporation's films were excellent, everything about the business direction and technical economy was bad; that this should be altered here and that changed there; that one man required dismissal and that another should be elevated to a position of command; finally, that what the company really needed was an engineering economist, of first class ability and reputation (himself) to set and keep things in order.
