Frankly. these pictures are the greatest salesmen we have. They advertise to the best advantage American goods. dresses. clothes. and shoes. The success of such pictures results in the employment of literally thousands of other employees engaged in the production of the picture. What is the evil that this bill seeks to repel? There is no invasion to the American stage by foreign actors. When I testified before the Immigration Committee on February 5. I stated that there were 31 plays running in New York. Of these. there are only seven in which one or -more British or Canadian actors or actresses were employed.
