Dear Superintendent Hukriedes

Jo. a sorry indeed that I missed the bet on your _
sound film, Upon receipt of your letter this morning I immediately ©
called our Extension Division and got intouch with George 0. Starkey,
who states that they have a sound film on fundamentals by, he thought,

the ee of Indiani.
; We have a tore real silent film on basketball tonne oe 4
ing, but do they want sound film and not a silent? I did this job for
the Eastman Film Division at Rochester, New York, It was in their teach=
ing film division and we used the Kansas basketball team to demonstrate.

It is a fine classroom teaching film, but not for entertainment alone.
They would not use the sound film because if they did the movie industry
would fight =m We may wane @ sound re in the near future.

: IT also sapinlieda that. ‘Mr Starkey write you re=

‘ibtien | a fine football film that I saw in our Rotary Glub meeting a

few weeks ago, This is a thrilling thing and I thought the boys would
like ite

I'am sure that you will a immediate action and
trust that you have a fine athletic banquet with your Lions Club...
Please congratulate the boys of ew football squad and your basketball
squad for mee

= | Sincerely yours,

7 S, Director of Physical Education,
