'Magic Bullet' Hailed As Important Film
HOLLYWOOD, March 14.—“Dr. Ehrlich’s Magic Bullet” is an important picture. For just as the great scientist’s chemical bombard-
blood scourge, syphilis, so should this film go far toward destroying the disease’s last two hiding places which are prudery and ignorance. Probably the picture wouldn’t amount to much as a health weapon if it were not also a first-rate movie. Medical men, made shy and conservative by ethical tradition, always have been poor show=men, and drama has dribbled from their laboratories and clinics only in homeopathic doses. Yet they recognize the need for more stimulating stuff. In a search for more stories, Warner Brothers recently solicited the ideas of a hundred scientists. After making his suggestions, each one cautioned the studio that scientific subjects must be sugare coated with entertainment. “ EF ” THE EHRLICH PICTURE is entertaining, and it isn’t all about syphilis. The discovery that permitted early diagnosis of tuberculosis, the conquering of diphtheria and the birth of bio-chem-istry are there, too, all intelligibly woven into. an absorbing story of one man’s struggle against bigotry and stupidity. : Certainly there is nothing in this first mention of syphilis on the screen that should be objec tional to any adult or for any child. The American Medical Association and the Public Health Service should be pleased, recalling, as they must, how recently a broadcasting company, with shocking delicacy, forbade a radio speech on the subject. It seems to me that people who go to movies owe their patronage to this film—not for its specific content, but because it represents a new order of substantial and courageous pictures. : If “Dr. Ehrlich’s Magic Bullet” is a hit, every producer in Holly=wood will be encouraged to turn occasionally to some such memorable and important subject.
