In previous years, films were silent. But the "talkies" arrived in the nineteen-thirties.
(MUSIC: Selznick Studios Theme)
Directors could produce films in which actors could talk. Americans reacted by attending film theaters by the millions.
(MUSIC: Max Steiner’s Main Title to “Gone with the Wind”)
It was a great time for Hollywood.
The films had exciting new actors. Spencer Tracy. Bette Davis. Katharine Hepburn. The young Shirley Temple. The most famous film of the period was "Gone with the Wind" with Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in the starring roles of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara.
RHETT BUTLER: “No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how.”
SCARLETT O’HARA: “Oh, and I suppose you think you’re the proper person.”
RHETT BUTLER: “I might be. If the right moment ever came.”
Directors in the nineteen-thirties also produced such great films as "It Happened One Night," "Mutiny on the Bounty," and "The Life of Emile Zola."

The success of radio and films, as well as the depression itself, caused problems for many Americans newspapers during the nineteen-thirties. The trouble was not so much that readers stopped buying newspapers. It was that companies talked about their products through advertisements on radio instead of buying advertising space in newspapers.
