In his fourth public lecture at the Pasadena Art Museum Kurt, in the words of Los Angeles Times reporter Ray Duncan, "...mischievously needled, puzzled and outraged certain members of his audience." The subject was movies, their violence and the implications of the growing influence of television and commercials. "I suspect," Kurt reportedly said, "that, in television, the first-rate people are those who conceive, design and direct the commercials!" Though he was scheduled to present six lectures, this fourth may have been his last.
