Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Cecil 8. DeMille has won two Academy Awards and the screen's highest professional honor, the Academy’s Irving Thalberg Award. His 69 pictures have been seen by nearly 4 billion persons throughout the world. Mr. DeMille's new production of "The Ten Commandments" is called "the greatest motion picture of his career."
American Progress-Ambassador For Freedom
by Cecil B. DeMille
``American motion pictures hove told our country’s story
in every nation in this world. Through these motion
pictures we show the world the wonders created by free
men competing peacefully in a free society.
"I look back on my 44 years of
movie-making . . . I compare my
first picture, `The Squaw Man'
with today's production of `The
Ten Commandments'. . . and I
see what fantastic dreams we
have turned into reality.
"It took many men of genius,
faith and courage, of course.
But the real key is that these
men were free to compete-not
for mere profit but in the far
greater race to create an entirely
new dimension in movie-making.
And always you-the movie going
public-have been the real
winners of this typically American
kind of competition.
``This is true throughout industry.
In 1919 I started one of
the first two regular scheduled
airlines. I became interested in
fuels and in the industry that
supplied them. What a progress
story I found!
"In a little over 20 years
America's oilmen turned the
basic fuels that powered my air.
line into powerful 100-octane
gasoline. In another decade
they had developed the jet fuels
that will soon bring us commercial
jet travel. Again the answer
lies in the constant competition
among our many oil companies.
"This is why I believe that if
our nation is to continue to
show the world the true glory
of freedom. then we must forever
keep the freedom of competition
as unfettered as we intend
to keep the freedom of expression
and worship."
