...motion picture business has grown as a result of the construction of better theatres," said Jesse D. Lasky, Vice-President of Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, in an interview with the CRIMSON yesterday after his lecture at the Business School.

The pictures were mediocre and the so-called theatres were nothing more than cabarets. The great contrast between then and now in this industry, as I see it, was instigated by an improvement in the show-houses themselves...

...going country clubs on opening anyway, compared to the stern standards of American and Tenionic teaching, and the long vacations were merely characteristic of the English students propensity for idling. But in more recent years, chiefly since the war, a new view has been evident. An uneasy feeling has grown up in the United States, based upon actual observation, that after all these idling British university men were somehow better educated, more developed in their intellectual capacities, stronger on their own feet in the use of what they knew, than were our American students constantly confined to the hothouse...
