SCIENTI-SNAPS Page 11 sure or should I say torture. Then there are dozens of other variations, combinations, freaks, each fitting snugly into the scheme of things. Each making his impression on the world of fandom. A Mad World where every man may be a king, and every other man his subject. A mad, desirable world where one may still cuss the hide off of a fellow fan and consider negotiations as if it had never happened. Mad to others, mad to us, but we eat it all up and come back for more. --Finis-- A WORD ABOUT BOOKS AND MOVIES by Walter E. Marconette You may find the above title of this column just a bit of out of place this issue. You see, we were just a bit pressed for space this copy due to the fact that we are presenting more material than was originally planned. Therefore, this section was cut short. MOVIES - When I first saw "Lost Horizon" back in April 1937 at road show prices (which almost broke me!), I realized that here was a motion picture far above average. Later, about September, it returned at popular prices and I viewed it again. Still it seemed like a great picture. And now, just after the annual deluge of critic lists naming the "10 Best Pictures of 1937", my beliefs have been confirmed. On every list brought to my attention, "Lost Horizon" has earned a place well up near the top. This should fill every fantasy fen's heart with joy. So far as I know, "Lost Horizon" is the first fantastic film to be so honored. It brings the entire field into public prominence, something which, I regret to say, most fantasy motion pictures fail to do. With "Lost Horizon" as a sort of beacon, fantasy is just now steering into the port of filmdom's greatest. More power to men like Frank Capra, director of this movie.
