I got an evidence of American cinema enterprise on this occasion for I suddenly debouched on a wide level and under the flickering lights I saw a Yankee operator turning the crank of a motion picture camera. He was part of a movie outfit getting travel pictures. A hundred naked Zulus stared with open-eyed wonder at the performance. When the flashlight was touched off they ran for their lives.
In contrast, Atmananda told me, "I once had several girlfriends at the same time each named Susan." There was the problem of ego. Chinmoy emphasized over and over the importance of humility. Atmananda often pointed out, to his inner circle of friends, that in a past life he was Sir Thomas More. There was the problem of cinema. Guru prohibited the viewing of sexually explicit or violent movies.
Hereward, otherwise "Chumps," put his feet together in the second position, flung out his arms in what was intended to be a graceful attitude, and made a mock bow worthy of the cinema stage. "Have them by all means, Madam!" he replied in mincing accents. "Your humble servant has no wish to disturb your ladyship's elegant repose.
Other signs of new life were the Skeaton Roller-Skating Rink, The Piccadilly Cinema, Concerts in the Town Hall, and Popular Lectures in the Skeaton Institute. There was also a word here and there about Wanton's Bathing Machines, Button's Donkeys, and Milton and Rowe's Char-a-bancs. Then, on a sunny day in June the invasion began.
This film has been shown in 2500 cinema theatres up to the first of the year and was booked to be shown in 1000 more within the next few months. So widespread has the Thrift movement become that the War Savings Committee now publishes its own monthly magazine called War Savings.
I myself felt a perfectly genuine and generous exhilaration of freedom and fresh enterprise in new places like Oklahoma. But you would hardly find in Oklahoma what was found in Oberammergau. What goes to Oklahoma is not the peasant play, but the cinema. And the objection to the cinema is not so much that it goes to Oklahoma as that it does not come from Oklahoma.
"And that Jacques Aubrieux was not feeling very well and was proposing not to take his usual cycle-ride but to stay at home and sleep?" "Yes." "You are sure?" "Absolutely certain." "And you all three went to the cinema together?" "Yes." "And you were all sitting together?" "Oh, no! There was no room. He took a seat farther away." "A seat where you could see him?" "No."
Now you," suddenly turning to stare at MacNab, "never spend a rupee; you wouldn't take a taxi to save your life, never go to a cinema or a concert, nothing that costs money; you just bicycle and drink lemon squashes and write home." "Oh, if you want to ride in taxis and go to cinemas, you might as well be in London," put in Roscoe, who had joined them.
A cultured Steno, who knew about George Meredith and Arnold Bennett, had to do his Spelling for him at 14 Bucks per. The Cerebellum of Elam was probably about the dimensions of a Malaga Grape. Sizing him by his Looks, one would have opined that Nature meant him for a Ticket-taker in a suburban Cinema Palace.
"Aided," the Colonel interpolated, "by a campaign of mural advertisement which a cinema star's press agent would have boggled at!" "Quite so," agreed Wagstaffe. "Next, when the Voluntary System had done its damnedest in other words, when the willing horse had been worked to his last ounce we tried the Derby Scheme.
