Some people regard him as one of the best shows on earth THELMA LECOCQ GIVEN a less scholarly background, John Grierson might have been a great success operating a one-man band. To this he would undoubtedly have added a three-ring circus and kept the whole thing going single-handed. As it is, John Grierson is Commissioner of Canada’s National Film Board, a position he’s held for two years. Four months ago, the Film Board still on his back, he took over “one of Ottawa’s dangerous jobs” the general-managership of the Wartime Information Board.
