From reader Don McAnally of!
Toledo come some pertinent re
marks on barriers against tourist
visitors by film studios:
“Industry has learned that it
ia good public relations to open
its doors to visitors . . . the fact;
that doors are opened, that visi
tors are wanted and welcomed,
creates favorable public reaction
—the very thing which moet
studios want most, especially
now, to build attendance and pro
fits. It seems to me that the
studios are taking the wrong ap
proach to what could be a great
trade builder.”

fans wouldn’t recognize him.
