SELZNICK /x/HAT price personality? That question is everlastingly applied in the evaluation of the prime fac- tors in the making of motion pictures. It is applied to the star, the producer, the director, the writer and the other human ingredients that combine in the production of a motion picture. • And for all alike there is a common denominator—the boxoffice. • It has often been stated that each per- sonality is as good as his or her last picture. But it is unfair to make an evaluation on such a basis. The average for a season, based on intakes at the boxoffices throughout the land, is the more reliable measuring stick. • To render a service heretofore lacking, the publishers of BOXOFFICE have surveyed the field of the motion picture theatre and herein present BOXOFFICE RECORDS that tell their own important story.

National Box Office Digest Annual (1940)
Ho# Ujjfice JbiaeAt Haui: «m JL HE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS of many moons to this industry is the matter-of-fact announcement by Technicolor that it will put into effect a flat reduction of one cent a foot on release prints processed after August 1st. "There is a great industrial story of days and nights and months and years behind the manner in which Dr. Kalmus and his associates have boosted the quality and service of color to the industry, beaten down the price step by step, and maintained a great spirit of cooperation with production and exhibition. TECHNICOLOR MOTION PICTURE CORPORATION HERBERT T. KALMUS, President , 617 North La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, Subscription Rate, $10.00 Per ■Ml ^Ite. DIGEST ANNUAL *7lie. 1/ea>i WcM. D OMESTIC box office standings take on values in this year of vanished foreign markets that are tremendous in importance. They are the only ratings that mean anything to the producer, director, player, and exhibitor. Gone—at least for years to come—are the days when known box office failures in the American market could be pushed to fabulous income heights and foisted on the suffering American exhibitor because of a shadowy "for¬ eign value.” Gone are the days—and we hope forever—when producers could know¬ ingly, and with "malice aforethought,” set out on the production of top budgetted pictures that would admittedly have no appeal to American mass audiences, earn no dimes for American exhibitors. All because of that same shadowy foreign market. ^ ^ So THE DIGEST ANNUAL comes to you at an opportune time. -

PS HIM fkf *1(5 /«rA W/’hen we think of the heroism of the Fighting Services, the Mercantile Marine, the Fire fighters, the A.R.P., the many Corps of Women’s Auxiliary Services, Doctors, Nurses and staffs of Hospitals, and, above all, the heroism and spirit of self-sacrifice shown by the women and children of cities, towns and hamlets which have been bombed incessantly by the Nazi murderers, it may sound Raymond Massey (right) and not only presumptuous but downright swank to ” suggest that films Eric Postman in 49th the have played any really important part in the War. Parallel.” Eric Portman is a World But I have hesitation in saying that the screen U-boat officer who attempts no has played a very important part. I think to escape from Canada to the we may divide, roughly, the part the films have played into United States but is out- manoeuvred by Raymond showing us, firstly, what Nazism really means and Massey. what we are fighting against, and, secondly, how we are fighting the greatest menace to Civilisation since Democracy was established as the keystone of the arch of Civilisation. Democracy is easily explained. The great Lincoln. President of the first really United States of America, described it as Govern- ment of the People, by the People, for the People. The emblem of Republican France was Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. In England, and later in the British Empire, the meaning was Freedom of speech and action, Una Merkel and W. C. Fields in so long as it did not interfere with the " The Bank Detective.” Freedom of others. -
