When this little publication first made its bid for favor, the Editor
had one idea paramount above all others. That was to dodge the avalanche
of press agentry which inundates the business, and instead to give the
public entertaining and TRUE information.
That idea, while broadened, is still the main spring of FILM TRUTH.
Some editorial rats have peeked out of their habit formed cobweb and
thrown a few scurrilous bouquets at us.
That is to be expected.
On the other hand, we have yet to hear from a single reader that we have
offended.
From the early days of the motion picture industry, we have derived our
income from it. We have breathed, eaten and slept with motion pictures
before us. We wish to see the business on a continually mounting plane.
And, such little as we can do to accomplish this, we are doing.
FILM TRUTH has no ‘grudge fights’ with player or company. Where
criticism may enter one month, praise is just as liable to be the
portion of the same person the next.
If we err, it is as much a regrettable occurrence to us as to the party
erred against. _And our columns are open to the other side on such
occasion_.
Fair play is given all. Particularly to that reading public which wishes
truth, and usually gets buncombe.
