HOLLYWOOD — The most
valuable commodity on Earth isn’t
gold or uranium. It’s old motion pic
tures.
That’s the tenet of Elvin Feltner,
president of the Krypton Corp., a
production and distribution com
pany that owns 4,000 old films,
mostly monster pictures, war films,
action adventure dramas and jungle
epics.
“Old movies are the backbone of
independent TV,” said Feltner. “All
movies have a life in perpetuity be
cause they suspend in motion a pe
riod of time in history. They are in
constant demand by TV in this
country, in Europe, Asia and South
America.”
Feltner began buying old films in
1962 when they were cheap, pur
chasing negative rights in perpetuity
for all media. He expects business to
increase in the low-power TV mar
ket.
“There are 250 low-power chan
nels in operation,” he said. “By the
end of the century there will be a
thousand. They all need movies, in
cluding mine.”
Feltner doesn’t own such biggies
as “Gone With The Wind.” His best
known titles are Frank Capra’s
“Meet John Doe” with Gary Cooper,
“Corregidor” and “Bombs Over
Burma.”
But his rentals run to 8,000 a
month. The TV appetite
cious that Feltner hustles i
films a year.
Not many major TV channels
rent Krypton films, but he thrives on
independent channels, UHF outlets
and cable TV.
Even though 80 percent of Kryp
ton’s films are black and white and
many of the titles are obscure, they
still circulate with astonishing regu
larity.

Auto mechanics do it. Mailmen do
it. Even college students do it. What
is it? — listening to a classical music
radio program put together by a
Texas A&M physicist.
“I never cease to be amazed by the
variety of people who tell me they
enjoy listening to the show,” said Dr.
Gilbert Plass — by day, a specialist in
the physics of astronomy; by spare
time, the initiator, disc jockey, pro
gram director and one-man archivist
of the tri-weekly program on
KAMU-FM radio.
Plass got the opportunity to do the
program when he wrote to the sta
tion in 1977 complaining about the
lack of classical music on the air. The
station director decided to give him
a chance to do something about it.
A lot of different people seem to
be glad Plass took the bait.
At least one auto mechanic in
town finds the program provides the
perfect background for repairing
cars, and a substitute mailman left
Plass a note one day complimenting
the program, which Plass does as a
gift to the station.
Known in some circles as “the clas
sical crusader,” he believes classical
music is even more popular today
than when — at the age of 11 — he
became an avid enthusiast of Bach,
Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven and
other classical composers.
Jazz, the popular music of the
time, was okay, Plass said, but some
how it just didn’t carry the appeal of
the time-honored adagios, allegros
and minuets.
Plass got his first records — a 78
rpm, five-record set of Brahm’s
Third Symphony — on the instal
lment plan when he was 12. It was in
the middle of the Depression, and
his mother made a deal with the
store owner to buy the first three re
cords one Christmas and the last two
the next year.
Today his collection of 2,000 to
3,000 albums is honored in specially-
designed cabinets that take up two
walls in his den. It is from this mas
sive collection — 99 percent of which
is classical — that Plass finds the ma
jority of the selections he plays on his
radio program. He is somewhat
proud of the fact that he has never
played the same recording twiceil
