The Road Ahead by CONNERY CHAPPELL rT,RADITION demands that yearly reference books open their editorial pages with a general survey of the immediate past, and a sketch of the problems facing their readers in the near future. In this the Kinematograph Year Book is nothing if not traditional ; looking back over the files it will be seen that year by year some major talking point has arisen to suggest that there is always something happening in this eventful industry. The year before last the opening article was aptly entitled " A Year of Transition." It certainly was. Last year the sub-editors produced the simple opening, " A Momentous Year." It certainly was again. As far as the British film industry was concerned there were never twelve months in the short but exciting history of the trade to compare with those that have just gone by. A Confident Start The year started on a confident note. Business was brisk and the average film man paid little attention to the economists who were pointing out the dangers of a world shortage of dollars. Indeed, in the early winter the trade was chiefly occupied with the business of formulating quota proposals. There were the C.E.A. suggestions and a whole host of others. The British Film Producers Association produced a demand, a large part of which was later incorporated in the first draft of the new Act. Almost every side ot the industry submitted some special report of its own. It was in February that the trade first glimpsed the troubles which lay ahead of it. The worst winter in living memory produced a national fuel crisis and the Kine, in common with other journals of its type, suspended production for a fortnight — the first break in regular publication of what is, in fact, the oldest film trade paper in the world. During the fuel crisis business at the box-office slumped badly, and it is true to say that it has never wholly recovered since, The showman's lesson from 1947 indeed, is that while the big" pictures continue to draw the big money, the ordinary run of programmes has to be sold to the public. The fuel crisis melted in face of the spring sunshine and in April the trade associations were back at their favourite pastime- spreading their particular propaganda in anticipation of a hew films Bill. Aminiatuie C.E.A. summer conference went by without particular 8 The Kinematograph Year Book. event at Eastbourne ; blazing hot weather set in and further depressed the box-office. The Home Office considered new regulations governing film exhibition and in the main the year seemed to be progressing normally and uneventfully, apart from the unfortunate drop in the takings. From Washington, Eric Johnston, head of the Motion Picture Association, raised moderate but pointed criticism on future quota legislation and it was not until June 26 that the Kine gave the first inside tip, from i+s political correspondent, that the Government was assuming power to tax and not to freeze the earnings of imported films. The Tax Bombshell Then a few weeks later Eric Johnston was in England having talks in Whitehall. It was soon obvious that his discussions would have little practical consequences and during July the film thermo- meter dropped sharply, while the real one rose to record heights ; and in early August the Government announced its plan to put 75 per cent, duty on imported films — the announcement coming at a time when all Wardour Street seemed convinced that the restrictive measures would be a freezing and not a tax. The Kine was alone in predicting that, in fact, a full tax was intended. It was a notable journalistic scoop, but it was one in which the paper took no pleasure. The immediate result, as all film men know, was the American decision to send no new films into Britain while the tax, which Hollywood regarded as utterly confiscatory, was in operation. Needless to say, so drastic and startling a development could not occur without upsetting the whole balance of film economy. News of the duty was taken very, very badly in New York and economies were introduced in studios in far California. A Complete Deadlock It was soon obvious that there was a position of complete deadlock, with the Americans declining to yield and with the British authorities emphasising that the import duty was not intended as a tax as such, but was merely an essential method of controlling the outgoing flood of dollars. It was the old business of bacon before Bogart ; food before films. Obviously the measure was as unpopular in the British trade as it was in the American — for exhibitors, visualising an early and acute product shortage, were naturally depressed in the extreme. Two months later the withdrawal of renters' backing for certain independent producers caused uneasiness throughout the studios. Sir Alex. Korda and J. Arthur Rank were quick to assure the public that there was no production crisis and indeed it was a fact that big projects continued in production. On the other hand the The Road Ahead. 9 smaller independents were beset by uncertainties and valuable studio space was going unoccupied. Business looked up as autumn deepened into winter and the C.E.A. and N.A.T.K.E. held preliminary skirmishes for a new national agreement — the signing of the original one having been a most notable forward event in film affairs in 1946. At the same time the unions became very vocal in the studio world and complained of ineptness on the part of some producers. As the year shortened so it was obvious that all was far from happy in the British production field. On November 20, the Kine predicted, again exclusively, that Harold Wilson, president of the Board of Trade, intended setting up a film production council. This was soon confirmed. Lastly there was a splutter of excitement in December as the Rank group found itself being sniped at by two important news- paper interests. In the course of the wordy battle — which arose through a proposal that Odeon should purchase General Cinema Finance Corporation, another Rank company — it was revealed that this Rank company had lost over two million pounds in production in the previous three years. The New Quota Act This, again, did not help the general British production picture and the year ended with the publication of the first draft of the next Quota Act — which was made public at a time when it seemed that British production was more likely to restrict than expand. So 1947, which the Kinematograph Year Book had described in advance as " A Momentous Year," closed on a note of no little anxiety. No new films were coming in and it was obvious that the British studios, with all the will in the world, were simply not able to keep the screens of the country occupied. Nor was there any chance that production could be suitably stepped up in the next year or two. Obviously it is impossible to predict the course of events in 1948 when the all-important subject of product is represented solely by a question mark. It is this question mark which gave such an air of unreality to the major event at the opening of the new film year — the debate on the second reading of the new Films Act in the House of Commons. This occurred at the start of the new parliamentary session, and it was quite obvious from the tone and trend of the debate that all was far from happy. Only a week or two before the debate, Eric Johnston had issued a statement in Washington saying that his organisation had detected no readiness to compromise on the part of the British authorities and that the embargo on the shipment of pictures must continue. At the same time, Sir Henry French had assured a Press conference 10 The Kinematograph Year Book. that in his recent visit to the United States he had found the Americans lacking in appreciation of the fundamentals of the British problem. He had previously made this point in an important interview which was carried exclusively in the Kine, and there was a tendency by some film men to read a great deal into Sir Henry's remarks. The two pronouncements, coming immediately before the films debate, produced a very justifiable pessimism. Decline in Business At about that time, too, it was reported that business in the West End in particular was flagging seriously. Knowledgeable film men immediately predicted that this was only a forerunner of a nation-wide decline that must inevitably hit the industry very severely if the deadlock persisted. So when the House of Commons was asked to decide the shape of the film industry for the next ten years it met in circumstances without parallel in the history of the trade. An industry depends for its success on a steady succession of new product and the film trade is no exception. Re-issues and improvisation are not enough. At the time this foreword is being written and the Year Book is going to press the scales are swinging and it is impossible for anyone to predict which way the balance will rest. At the same time, it is not unreasonable to hope that eventually a formula will be found which will enable the Americans to resume the flow of Hollywood pictures into this country, but that formula must be so worded that the maximum immediate expenditure of dollars will have to be saved for the national pocket book. Free Trade Essential The situation is perfectly simple ; everybody wants Hollywood films, and free trade is the very life-blood of a highly competitive industry of this sort. But until the general economic recovery of the country has been completed, only the irreducible minimum of dollars can be spent on films when food and machine tools obviously must have higher priority. The problem, therefore, is far from an easy one and on the face of it does not inspire optimism. On the other hand, at the film level both sides are anxious to get together and solve this deadlock if they can. It may be that in the weeks which necessarily elapse under present-day conditions between the writing of a Year Book and its binding and publication, a solution may have been found. Let us most devoutly hope so. Let us at the same time hope that British films will have shaken off the growing pains which appear to be besetting them in the fall of 1947, so that they may go forward to prosper and expand, and gain even greater success in the years ahead.

Trade Statistics The following- statistics are derived from official records and other authentic sources. Kinemas Estimated number of kinemas : 4,700. Average capacity about: 900 — -1,000. There is one kinema seat for every 10 persons of population. Some 2,000 of Britain's kinemas are regarded as first-run houses. Attendances Peak war attendance at kinemas 31,000,000 weekly. Average admissions — 1 ,460,250,000 —value ^109,078,750. Weeklv admissions ■ — (estimated to March, 1947)— 28,081,000. Seasonable attendance fluctuation now estimated at from 25 to 28 millions weekly. Average seat range— 6d. to 2/6d. Average seat price — l/9d. Revenue Box office revenue — British films ^21,815,750. American films ^87,253,000. It is estimated that circuit revenues approximate to from J to \ of the total kinema revenues. British films occupy approximately 20 per cent of screen time. The pulling power of British films in British kinemas is illustrated by Odeon statistics which show that whereas a British film in 1943 brought in average operating week takings per theatre of ^506, a foreign film brought in ^571. From that year there has been a steady improvement as follows : — Year British Foreign £ £ 1943 506 571 1944 536 580 1945 553 566 1946 741 627 1947 694 583 Remittances to U.S. in respect of U.S. film rentals : 1939— ^7,000,000. 1946— ^17,000,000. It is estimated that one-sixth of receipts in Great Britain were remitted to America before the imposition of the 75 per cent. ad valorem duty. Major Circuits Strength of the three major circuits is as follows : A.B.C. & Union. (A.B.P.C.) 442. G.B. 248. * Odeon 317. 1,007. First run houses — in London area estimated at about 300 of which the circuits own two-thirds, 200. There are almost 860 major circuit houses in the provinces. About 25 per cent, of the circuit box office takings are earned in the London area. Analysis of Attendances Government survey of attendances (Sept. 1947) establishes that :— Young people attend kinemas more frequently than do elderly folk, the lower economic groups are more regular and indiscriminate patronage. 27 per cent of British adults never go to a kinema. Professional classes are only occasion- al patrons, selecting their enter- tainment. They represent 5 per cent of attendances. Manual workers represent 37 per cent and clerical and distributive classes 14 per cent. Housewives who represent 41 per cent of the population form 38^ per cent of kinema patronage. *The Odeon Group has 725 controlled theatres outside U.K. Trade Statistics 51 65 per cent of Britain's school children see films once a week or more. 23 per cent of the film-going public attend the same kinema week after week irrespective of the film. 48 per cent attend regularly — 29 per cent, whenever there is a film which particularly appeals to them. Entertainment Tax Entertainment tax represents rough- ly an increase of 700 per cent, over 1938. Actual payment to Treasury on account of kinema E.T. : — To March 31, 1947. £41,390,000 1946. £41,000,000. 1938. £5,600,000. 1938 rate of tax was 16 per cent on income, in 1947 over 40 per cent. Film Programmes Practically all circuit and first run kinemas play one programme a week. Most second run and smaller kinemas normally have a bi-weekly change, but a proportion of small houses present three programmes a week. Import Duty A new clause in the 1947 Finance Bill (Statutory Rules and Orders, 1947, No. 1,690 Customs. Addi- tional Import Duties (No. 2) ) im- posed as from August 6, an ad valorem duty of 300 per cent, (about 75 per cent, of the total profits) on the value of all im- ported films (see page 134). It assumes that a renter will take no more than 30 per cent, of gross proceeds for " costs, charges and expenses (except Customs duty on the film) and profit." Previous tax on foreign features was 5d. per ft. on the first copy. No foreign film has been imported since the imposition of the duty. Films Registered 1945. 1946. 1947.

U.S. companies control : 5 studios, 15 sound stages, 187,915 sq. ft. of space. British studios made 49 major features in 1947, excluding second features and " featurettes " British studios have been estimated by the Kine. as likely to produce 53 major films this year (1947). Average production time during last 12 months has been 15 weeks. Hollywood producers usually turn out a feature in 40 to 50 days. Consumption of raw stock (pre- war) was 308,000,000 ft. annually, of which 30 per cent, was used by newsreels. 52 The Kinematograph Year Book.

British Production. 141 British Production Survey By P. G. Baker. BRITISH studios have com- pleted 58 feature films during 1947, which compares with 49 for the previous year. These 58 films include six second features made by the major studios — but the figure does not include seven second features produced in the very small studios. Neither does it in- clude the number of "featurettes" (the film which just makes the Board of Trade feature registration lists) which have shown a considerable increase during the year. Production Space We start 1948 with the available feature production space of : — 23 studios 66 sound stages 586,111 sq. ft. of space That is a definite improvement of the position which I reported last year. Since then, nine smaller studios — headed by the important Warner set-up at Teddington — have become available, accounting for some 19 more sound stages and about 150,000 square feet of shooting space. The 1948 studio output should reflect this increase, par- ticularly in the number of bread- and-butter features. And that total is about all the production space British producers may expect for several years to eome. The rebuilt A.B.P.C. studio at Elstree, which should come into production during the coming year, will add four stages and 60,000 square feet to our facilities. Expansion Prospects Further expansion will be impos- sible without the highest building priorities being granted by the Board of Trade. The industry has completed its post-war rehabilitation programme and on stocktaking day, January 1, 1947, had only a quarter of the total stage area owned by the major Hollywood production companies. Further space, and with it the possibility of improved economy and greater output in production, can come only from a direct Government lead. Let's face the facts. We cannot expect that manpower and materials can be directed to film studio construction for some time to come. Nationally we must put first things first. We shall have to use all our ingenuity in making the best use of our available resources. Briefly, these resources fall into four major groups of control. Of the four, the Rank Organisation is without doubt the largest — seven studios, 28 sound stages and a total of 274,302 square feet of space. That figure includes Ealing, which has a renting contract with Arthur Rank's distribution set-up, G.F.D. ; and it includes the small Gate studio at Elstree, which Arthur Rank controls as a " personal holding " for the making of religious pictures. Independent Group Second in size is the group of wholly independent studios which total 1 ] , with 23 sound stages and some 115,499 square feet of space. This group includes British National as the amount of influence now exercised by the Warner- A.B.P.C. set-up has not yet been made clear. And the figure includes the comparatively small Alliance group, which closed down for repair work in the Autumn. The next group is that controlled by the U.S. company subsidiaries over here. The Warner and M-G-M- British plants comprise a total of seven stages and 100,295 square feet of space. With Warner and A.B.P.C. jointly planning to use Warner stars and key technicians for the new Elstree studios, it would be fair to add the A.B.P.C. 60,000 142 The Kinematograph Year Book. square feet to this figure — bringing it to a total of 11 stages and 160,295 square feet by the end of the year. The Sir Alexander Korda group owns three studios, with nine avail- able stages of a total 96,655 square feet. The single-stage Beaconsfield studio is on a long-term lease to the Crown Film Unit. If we class only studios with more than 30,000 square feet of stage space as major studios, our grade "A" studios for 1948 operation number six, with 32 sound stages and 400,379 square feet of space. They are : British National, Denham, M-G-M-British, Pinewood, Shepherd's Bush, and Shepperton. Studio Output The " Major Studio Output 1937-47 " chart on page 150 gives an easy-to-read summary of how individual studios fared this year as regards output—which by itself can be a misleading statistic. But a further split-up of figures shows that the Rank Organisation has produced, provided facilities for, or taken for distribution, 29 of the year's output. The Korda group has provided seven to the total : and the Alliance group kept up a steady flow during the first nine months of the year, completing eight subjects. Putting the studios in order of merit on films made per space available (and this can by no means be a final reckoning), the running goes like this : — 1. SouthaU (2,500) 2. Nettlefold (3, 269)... 2 3. Islington (3,404) 4. Shepherd's Bush (4,396)... 6 5. Twickenham (5,600) 6. Riverside (6,337)... 3 7. British National (6,71 1) . . . 1 8. Welwyn (7,684)... 5 9. Isleworth (8,515) 10. Ealing (9,479)... 4 11. Denham (12,249)... 7 12. Pinewood (14,498)... 8 13. Shepperton (14,660)... 9 14. M-G-M-British (26,666) Figure in parentheses is the amount of space in squared feet used by each studio to complete one picture in proportion to the year's total output. Figures at end of lines indicate the 1946 placing. Statements have been made by the three major production trade unions that there is an increasing tendency to unemployment — or rather a lack of full employment — in the studios. In November, A.C.T. cited 20 per cent of its feature production membership out of work. During the latter part of the year, I made a careful check with each studio and can quote this year the first authentic post-war employment figures, studio by studio. These statistics do not cover the many service plants, such as laboratories and stock-manufacturing companies, and they do not attempt to analyse the complicated shorts and specialised field. But — and the one gap is freelance executive and technical personnel — the figures give a sharp picture of the major studio employ- ment set-up. Employment There are 7,054 people employed by the studios. This figure splits into these classifications : 1,852 technicians (including all technical jobs which are not in the other two classifications), 3,694 constructional personnel, and 1,508 clerical and similar grades. These figures reflect an increase in employment since June, 1946, at which time Kine estimates for the 12 operating studios showed that staffs totalled 997 technical, 876 clerical and other grades, and 2,803 constructional personnel. That makes a total of 4,676 — which does not take into account the men and women on the pay-roll of studios about tc launch their first post-war productions. But the figures are an indication that an increasing number of studio workers have been finding jobs during the past 18 months as former film men and women have left the Services on their demob. But the new figure reflects more than this. An independent survey made in 1936 (and quoted in H. Junge's " Plan for Film Studios," — Focal British Production. 143 ETABLISSEMENTS CINEMATOGRAPHIQUES 12 Rue Gaillon, Paris ★ CAMERECLAIR 300 metre STUDIO MODEL * CAMERECLAIR 120 metre PORTABLE ★ CAMEFLEX MODEL A.V. for AIRCRAFT and the new * AUTOMATIC MAGAZINE LOADING- NO THREADING reflex "CAMEFLEX" portable 400 ft.

In my opinion that is a conservative estimate. In any case, the fact that feature studios alone are employing over 7,0 30 people today, is sufficient ground for the assumption that the whole production industry is well up to — and possibly above — the 1936 personnel level. So much for the year's employ- ment position. During the last 12 months the studios have been adding to supplies of production equipment. The intake of new gear has, of course, been a slow process : but recent months have shown a steady increase in output by the leading manufacturers. Large deliveries have been made of lighting gear— Mole-Richardson, G.E.C. and Hewitt — to most of the studios. Both Western Electric and R.C.A. have been busy replacing equipment and modifying channels in a number of studio recording plants. Cameras, cranes, dollies ... all have been accumulating during recent months. The year brought to its close the " string and tape " era. The Films Act During 1948 a new Films Act will come into operation. The new Act will have to tackle vital new problems. These problems have be- come quite clear during the last 12 months — and they are all of them the direct outcome of the past few years. Now, both the Govern- ment and film people themselves must ask the question : " How can British production find its proper economic level ? " The old Act created the incentive to make better films. The virile new blood of the war years proved that British film makers have the necessary artistry and technical skill to compete with the world in quality pictures. But the better films cost money — a lot of money. Production Costs Let me quote R. J. Minney on this subject of costs. Minney is a producer who puts film making on a hard cash basis. He argues in a book published during the year : " The Rank Organisation has been recklessly lavishing large sums on production, spending far above the possibility of return from the market within his own domination. Films to be commercially successful should cost at most ^200,000. Mr. Rank's films have of late been costing ^300,000 and ^400,000 each; a few of them have cost even more — ' Henry V' approximately /500,000: ' Men of Two Worlds ' .£600,000 ; ' A Matter of Life and Death ' more than ^650,000 ; 'London Town' / 1,000, 000 ; ' Caesar and Cleopatra ' /l, 300,000. " Hollywood, despite a far larger assured market, rarely indulges in such extravagance. A million-dollar production (£200,000) is by no means a commonplace ; the generality of American films cost a good deal less." That argument has been put in similar form during the year by CAMERA HERE SERVICE PHONE: GER. 1365-6-7-8 NEWMAN SINCLAIR MODELS A ' & T WITH FULL RANGE OF EQUIPMENT AND TRIPODS ALSO NEWMAN HIGH-SPEED CAMERA ALL ENQUIRIES : S.F.L.

Further, British studios are taking a long time to make the top-grade pictures. A careful Kine. study of the 1947 schedules shows that of the 58 completed pictures the average shooting schedule (the time the film is actually occupying studio stage space) was a little under 14 weeks. While some pictures have been turned out in seven and eight weeks, major films such as " Hamlet", "Blanche Fury" "Anna Karenina", "Oliver Twist", "Bonnie Prince Charlie", "Bond Street" have reach- ed— and in many cases passed — the 20 shooting-weeks mark. The rise in production costs has prevented a large number of inde- pendent producers from making pictures and, to a marked degree during the last 12 months, pro- duction has been centralised through the major producing companies. Featurettes The smaller producer — the pre-war maker of the " bread-and-butter " pictures — has either remained in- active or started production of the new " featurette." This is the picture, made mostly on location or in very small studios, which is sufficiently long to make the feature Board of Trade registration grade. They have accounted for nearly 50 per cent of the British feature output during the last three years. One of the main criticisms which has been levied at the major pro- duction groups has been that pro- duction units are allowed to use stage space week after week, shooting unnecessary material which a more careful pre-production planning would have avoided. Leslie Arliss, who turned out " Idol of Paris " at Metro, for Maurice Ostrer two weeks under his 14-week schedule, tells me that current production costs are from between £ 17- 18, 000 each week. Time means money — and a day or two lost on the stages can make the difference between a commercially successful or unsuccess- ful picture. Inefficiency That is the background to the Autumn clash between the trade unions and the producers. The unions accused the producers of inefficiency. They wanted more direct action both to overcome the im- mediate problem of the Dalton duty on Hollywood pictures, and to set post-war British production on a sound basis. But there is another side to the picture. Production executives have been unable to keep down a large per- centage of costs. Raw materials have risen in price so that they are now double, treble and four times their pre-war prices. Star and feature player salaries have doubled too . . . the old story of shortage, demand and high price. And in addition to this, during the latter part of the year, producers gave wage increases plus a five-day week to all studio workers.

LTD., 71, DEAN ST., LONDON, W.1 British Production. 147 The trade unions are doing their best to prove that each man can do the same amount of work in five days as he used to do in six. But the five-day week has created fresh studio administrative problems — and there are some people who will argue that the five-day week has put out of action 67 sound stages for two days each week. Producers have found good plans upset by many things completely out of their control. In particular, the critical shortage of tested artists has held up film after film as casting directors have failed to line up a suitable team at the last moment. This is the heritage of our failure to pursue a sufficiently vigorous star- building programme during the past few years. Producers have not received the support they would have liked from the Government. Licences for new sound stages, import licences for new equipment, greater allocations of timber, and greater supplies of labour for rehabilitation work — all were in demand, but little was forthcoming. Union Move The unions kept up their pro- paganda and, at the important joint B.F.P.A.-F.I.E.C. meeting at the Board of Trade in November, had the satisfaction in hearing Harold Wilson's decision to set up a National Joint Films Production Council. Towards the end of the year it became clear that more and more attention was being given by Government departments to the production industry. I have no doubt, following talks with Board of Trade and Treasury officials, that this Government will not leave film production completely out of its programme of a planned economy. Whitehall fully realises that during the nation's drive to save dollars British film making is itself a dollar- saving industry. Early in 1948 Parliament was given the Bill of the new Films Act. And it passed through the Com- mittee stages without any division — and with few amendments. Broadly, the new Act puts into operation many ideas supported by the producers and the unions. It has not shown as much consideration for the exhibitor as the C.E.A. had hoped. Renters' quota has been dropped and the President of the Board of Trade has made it clear that exhibi- tors will be expected to give the best possible showing of as many British films as our studios can turn out within the coming months. More Screen Time Kinemas have been split into two groups — and the circuits (those with more than 200 houses) will have to show more British films. And the big three circuits are forbidden to expand. The ten shillings a foot labour charge on British productions, if they are to be registered, was criticised by a number of producers as being much too little to guarantee a fitting standard of output. But the Act passed through Parlia- ment with little enthusiasm from the trade. Film people were asking : " What is the use of a new quota Act when, if something isn't done quickly about the ad valorem duty deadlock, there will be only British films to show ? " That was the keynote of the start of 1948. 1895 1948 OVER 50 YEARS % ERNEST F. MOY LTD., OF SERVICE TO 134, Bayham Street, THE INDUSTRY Camden Town, N.W.I 148 The Kinematograph Year Book.

Standard Alloy Wire S.W.G. 1-8 27 30 38 23 50 35 21 8-5 30 100 29 150 25 17 24 20 23 24 22 30 21 37 19 46 18 53 18 60 17 64 17 83 15 100 14 The current ratings given above refer to the normal maximum current of the circuit, and do not refer to the overload at which the cut-out will operate. The full normal load on a fuse should be "two-thirds of its fusing load. For arcs, use copper fuses rated at double normal current to allow for striking. On motor circuits the allowance will depend upon the starting current. Allow 50 to 100 per cent, for D.C. motors or A.C. repulsion- induction motors, four times for wound induction motors, six to eight times for squirrel-cage. Od 3-phase motor circuits always fuse heavily.

Sub-Standard Market Survey by HARRY WHITE ALTHOUGH there is every reason to be proud of the unmistak- able progress made during 1947 in every aspect of 16 mm. operation, there yet exists considerable room for improvement and development both functional and technical in each of the commercial, cultural and exe- cutive fields. The most urgent need of the commercial operator is a national organisation to give 16 mm. a voice. Happily, there are prospects in this direction if the preliminary meeting in December of a number of West Country exhibitors bears fruit. Ar- rangements were made for the establishment of a representative association which, it is hoped, will be functioning early in 1948. It is too early to anticipate the results of these efforts but un- doubtedly 16 mm. showmen regard the early formation of an association as a matter of extreme urgency. Their attitude is understandable for unless there is some sort of protective organisation the economic survival of the commercial exhibitor will be jeopardised. The Quota Question Many incidents of 1947 will be recalled which emphasise the over- riding necessity for co-operation among all sub-standard exhibitors. Early in the year the 35 mm. in- dustry, without prior consultation with the " mobile boys," recom- mended to the Board of Trade that the quota clauses of the new Films Bill should be applied to sub- standard. In the draft of the Bill issued in December the matter is left in abeyance, but, as at any time the quota may be applied by means of an order in Council, sub-standard exhibitors should be ready with their case. Additional argument for the estab- lishment of a sub-standard associa- tion is that there is as yet no room for the 16 mm. exhibitor in the Cinematograph Exhibitors Associa- tion. When the question was raised in May, the general secretary went on record as saying "if a 16 mm. operator wants to join the C.E.A. to seek security with which to cash in on 35 mm., that is not going to be allowed." Nor were the branches more favourable. A Big Offensive The big offensive, however, started in October when the C.E.A. scheme for regulating sub-standard shows included the 2 mile radius bar and a complete entertainment film ban on clubs, hotels and stores and similar institutions unless otherwise agreed by the K.R.S.-C.E.A. Joint Com- mittee. But what was announced as an agreement was actually, according to the renters, a committee report and not a decision by the Society. As a matter of fact, it seems that certain members of the K.R.S. were not altogether in com- plete accord over the proposed restrictions. It would be foolish, however, to assume that this is a victory for the 16 mm. showmen or that the subject is dead. The recent history of the controversy strengthens the view that the opposi- tion will be resumed at the next appropriate moment. The lesson of these manoeuvres should not be ignored. But if there is a lesson to be learned from the incidents of the past year, there is also an heartening inference to be drawn. It seems that there is a growing realisation among a proportion of renters and even exhibitors that ultimately the width of the stock will make no difference to the distribution of a Sub-Standard Film Market. 485 picture and that the technical description of " 35 mm." or " 16 mm." will not be permitted to interfere with the Industry's sole object of providing entertainment for the masses. In some quarters the view has been expressed that it may be economically beneficial for certain 35 mm. kinemas to switch over to 16 mm. There is certainly no logical argument against such proce- dure provided that the smaller gauge can offer comparable quality. Much of the exhibitor and renter opposition may be traceable to doubts, understandable enough, of the stability of the sub-standard field. There have been many clo- sures during the year, but on the balance progress has been steady, not only in the mobile field but in the increase in the number of static theatres. Ingenuity and Enterprise This last is the most significant development during the year. The mere building and equipment of these 16 mm. kinemas reveals the ingenuity and enterprise among the ranks of the 16 mm. showmen which is reminiscent of the pioneer days of the standard film. One of the most important closures was that of Granada's Century Mobile Cinemas. At the time it was regarded as almost a catas- trophic blow to the struggling sub- standard entertainment industry. Other showmen followed suit ; Henry Simpson and E. J. Hinge in the North and others elsewhere. These unsuccessful efforts indicated the weakness of the mobile entertain- ment, but they also afforded useful data on shows in rural districts. There is food for thought in some of the reasons given by showmen who packed up. High rates of film hire ranks as one of the most popular excuses. But is it a fact that rentals are that high ? Remember there is service in hefty barring clauses wrapped up in the list of first-class product from major renters and libraries. You can't have one with- out the other — which doesn't mean that everyone including the renters, wouldn't like them to come down. Overheads, the second reason, seem to be a matter for the individual exhibitor. The answer there lies in watching points — a small slip can cost a lot these days. Third, and obviously the real reason for misfires, is lack of support. Here again, it is up to the individual to cure — you seldom hear a real showman giving this as a cause for falling business. Analysing the box-office trend of the commercial exhibitions during the year, it can be divided into three general phases : indifferent to atro- cious during the severe winter ; hopeless during the long fine sum- mer ; and excellent from September onwards. From early autumn on- wards, groans about box office takings were rarely heard. It's up to exhibitors to cash in on this boom — not from the purely temporary aspect of humming ticket machines, but from the long-sighted viewpoint of " getting a name " for themselves and the sub-standard movement generally. Renters' Full Stop The renting side of the sub-stand- ard industry opened 1947 with great promise of major developments. Paramount, RKO-Radio and 20th Century-Fox were all on the verge of entering the field with impres- sive programmes. But by December, the growing number of 16-mm. exhibitors were still waiting for their product. What happened ? Maybe, it was the Treasury's tax on imported films that caused them to hold back their plans until the situation clarified. It might have been the summer slump in business that applied a similar brake. Or printing difficulties. What- ever the cause, they must have been pretty serious because all three companies were originally enthusias- tic over the development. The news that the Kinematograph Renters' Society proposed to form a 16-mm. section was received with mixed feelings. Many feared the move would herald a wave of restric- tive practices. Others welcomed the 486 The Kinematograph Year Book. innovation. They believed that a junior K.R.S. showed that the last thing the renters wanted to do was to strangle 16-mm. They believed it would be of considerable benefit to the development of the sub-standard industry and particularly as it would 'largely put a stop to the activities of the pirate trader. The successful operation in Canada of the 16-mm. Motion Picture Dis- tributors' Association was cited as an example of the benefit that might accrue to the sub-standard operator from the K.R.S. move. Apart from the obvious advantages to exhibitors and distributors it might help 16-mm. producers. This year has seen many new concerns enter the field — especially in the provinces. Concentrating mainly on industrial, educational and specialised subjects, they may find that a central body of renters would help them in getting suitable outlet on the enter- tainment screens. Producers' Problems Although the bulk of subjects shot on sub-standard stock were shorts, the year saw an encouraging increase in the use of direct 16-mm. production in the industrial and edu- cational fields. This development, however, did not stretch to entertain- ment product. Sub-standard exhibi- tors still rely almost wholly upon 35- mm. reductions for theatrical subjects —although there is a growing ten- dency to treat sponsored films of suitable character as first-class documentaries. It has been a difficult period for the producer. Not only was he faced with a precarious raw stock situation, a shortage of equipment and trained personnel, but the economic basis of production was also threatened by rising costs and inflated overheads. It says much for the ingenuity and energy with which these problems have been tackled that the year closed upon such a propitious note. The inter- esting development has been, the wider and more intelligent use of colour which followed the easing of the raw stock position, and the marked improvement in processing facilities. While this trend contri- buted of course, to the upswing in production overheads, it also im- proved the appeal of the sub-standard product. Rising costs affect the educational field particularly. Producers are faced with the problem of making worthwhile classroom films and yet to keep the hire or sale charges within the reach of the average education authority. Many subjects lend themselves to simple treatment, but historical subjects — for which there is a tremendous demand — and animation sequences, to cite examples, entail mounting costs. A Real Headache On the other hand, the cost question does not apply so rigidly to sponsored industrial subjects. The real headache occurs when distribu- tion is considered. Too frequently it happens that neither sponsor nor producer is exactly clear as to which markets the finished film is to be directed. Industrialists, however, are realis- ing that a film cannot be expected to appeal to every class of audience. They appreciate that distribution is no hit or miss affair, but demands a highly specialised knowledge. As with reading matter, industrial film distribution must be aimed at a definite public. A great deal of attention is being paid to the subject by many producers who have amassed a quantity of valuable data which is already proving of consider- able value to their sponsors. Conse- quently, an ever-increasing number of commercial houses are placing their distribution arrangements with a measure of confidence in the hands of their producers. The sponsors rough out the general idea of the proposed film and the produc- tion experts get to work from the blueprint. If the subject is a staff instructional, they will make a first class staff instructional, " but don't," they say, " expect it to be shown by every entertainment outfit in the country." The problem is one peculiar to the industrial subject and barely affects films sponsored by Government departments, the medical profession Sub-Standard Film Market. 487 and cultural arid educational institu- tions which are made with definite publics in view. Education, potentially the most important branch of the sub-standard movement in this country, appro- priately enough displayed the most vigorous and promising growth during the year. The Government is now tackling the subject with the serious thought it deserves. The establishment by the Ministry of Education of its Preparation and Production Committee followed by the setting-up of the National Committee by educationalists were two outstand- ing events. Other factors which afforded additional impetus to the use of visual aids was the creation in May of the National Federation of Educa- tional Film Groups, elimination of the purchase tax on projectors, the renewal by the British Film Institute and the Scientific Film Association of their classroom activities and the marked increase of interest displayed by local authorities. In Scotland a scheme was launched to introduce visual aids in education upon a countrywide basis. Strong as it undoubtedly was, the drive to popularise visual teaching in England and Wales was less effective than it might have been. This was due to several obstacles, many of which might have been avoided with the exercise of a measure of foresight and good will. Apart from the equipment position, over which no control could be exercised, there was a distinct lack of enterprise — even of interest shown ■ — -by a large number of our local education authorities ; nor wTere matters helped by an initial cleavage of interests between two powerful organisations. This matter has, happily, been settled. In certain quarters, the sheer ignorance that still exists on the potentialities of visual aid as an integral factor in education is incredible. Another factor which militates against progress is the lack of technical knowledge of the equip- ment on the part of the teaching staff in many areas. More use might well have been made of the number of fully-trained ex-servicemen available. That is the overall picture.

Delivery dates are shortening and prices coming down slowly. Strip projectors for schools are technically efficient and economically adequate. On the film side, difficulties have also been resolved and first lists comprising nearly 100 subjects have been agreed by the . Production Committee and the National Com- mittee. A number has already been placed in production and a few, too few indeed, are due for early delivery. In this way the oft-commented-upon vicious circle — too few films and too few projectors — may at long last be broken. An important contribution to the classroom film has come from offici- ally sponsored product. It was unfortunate, however, that the promising effect of this flow of film may have been hampered by the belated delivery of the Ministry of Education's Complete Visual Units, which did not materialise until November, and even then the quality and general adequacy were criticised. It would be advantageous to all concerned were the Ministry of Education to probe the origins of the delay and the quality treatment of the subjects it com- missioned. It must not happen again. A new organisation catering for the teacher — the National Federation of Educational Film Groups — should satisfactorily meet many criticisms. It soon got down to business. The standardisation of film appraisals, lists of available films, the creation of a library for new subjects and the establishment of teachers' visual aids courses were among the initial targets. To sum up this survey of sub- standard development. The state of affairs in all sections of the industry shows heartening promise. It is to be hoped that — notwith- standing the impressive record of 1947— the lessons of past mistakes will not be disregarded but will serve as a firm foundation for the even greater progress which it is hoped will be recorded during 1948.

We started the year with a handful of different makes of projectors. 1947 closed with no fewer than nine machines on the market and the promise of more to come. One of the projectors on the market at the opening of the year, the B.T.-H. 301, is notable for its simplic- ity in handling — it has a wide- opening gate and a quick-threading lever. Left-handed operation has many advantages, contend some operators, and this is a feature of the Carpenter- de-Luxe, another pre- 1947 machine. A great improvement on the earlier model is the accepted verdict of Cinetechnic's De Brie Professional. Although following similar lines to its predecessor, the new De Brie embodies many interesting features. Blimpless Type Early in the year, Simplex-Ampro introduced the British-made version of the popular American Ampro machines. It is a blimpless machine — a very silent mechanism has been designed — and is claimed to be ideal for industrial and educational shows. A couple of months later, another famous American projector was given the designation " British made," and launched on the market — the Victor, by Victor Animatograph. In this machine, protection against film damage has been given a major consideration. In September, the Industry was given the opportunity to accept an entirely new system of film projection — by the Harper system. It pro- vides for a sound track the same size as 35-mm. printed on both sides of the film. Alternate frames are pro- projected, the film is then reversed, and the second set shown. But the Harper machine will take both the special stock and orthodox prints. Two Maltese cross machines made their appearances on the market. First of these, the Burville from E. Richard Turnham and Son created a good impression on overseas buyers. The second, the Clubman made by R. P. S. Ladell, is at present the lowest-priced projector on the market, selling for approximately ^160. It is a quiet-running blimpless type. Latest new machine to be pro- duced is the Bell and Howell- Gaumont embodying designs from the manufacturing houses of Bell and Howell in America and Gaumont- British of England. They are some of the machines on the market as we pass into 1948. Reports suggest that there are several more models in the offing. Like film projectors, there is a wide range of strip projectors to choose from. Twelve makes available by the end of the year were : — the Adiescope, Aldis, A.M. P., Dufay- Chromex, E. D. P., Elite, Gaumont- British, Hanna, Micro Precision, Newton, Pullin and V.I.S. ' Another form of projector, the continuous film or film strip cabinets made , its appearance in 1947. The Moviegram Sono A^ision self-con- tained unit pioneered the field, and was followed closely by the Adie- scope film strip cabinet, the British Industrial Auto Strip Unit, Southern Film Services' Cell-U-Sound film cabinet and Sound Services' Brook projector. New Accessories On the accessories side three new sound conversion heads appeared, by Boneham and Turner, Ladell and Southern Film Services. Devices for non-stop film shows on one projector came from M. W. Dunscombe, Bristol, Jacksons Cine Service, Eton, and P. J. Equipments, Guildford. Production needs were not over- looked. Ilford marketed two new negatives in 16-mm. — the fine grain panchromatic stock and the high speed H.P.3 — and a low-priced densitometer. Direct recording on 16-mm. was made a speciality by two firms — United Motion Pictures and Leevers Rich. Editing aids included the intro- duction of the popular Acmiola in a sub-standard version — Acmade, the makers, are preparing the prototype of a 16-mm. film-viewing and sound- recording machine — and a film num- bering machine from Ernest Moy. 490 The Kinematograph Year Book. cT» o o o a o A fine range of feature films — DOCUMENTARY TRAVEL INTEREST FIRST-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT 16 MM.

BURTT FOLLOWING the gratifying financial consolidation of 1946, the year 1947 has been a severe testing time, in view of the avalanche of adverse happenings outside the con- trol of the industry. It is a good thing that directors strengthened their finances when they did. Indeed, had advantage not been taken of the favourable con- ditions in 1946 provided by Chan- cellor Dalton, it would have been much more difficult to meet, first, the great strain imposed by the fuel crisis ; then, the exceptionally fine, hot summer which reduced attend- ances ; followed by further increases in operating expenses ; and finally, the 300 per cent, import duty on foreign films, the full effect of which had still to be assessed at the time of going to Press. Odeon Consolidation Main financial development during the year ha§ been the completion of the Odeon re-financing. The con- solidation of this group has included the issue of a really informative set of accounts consisting of full reports of each of the three main associated concerns : Odeon Theatres, Odeon Properties, and Odeon Associated Theatres, together with a consoli- dated balance sheet and profit and loss account of the whole group with comparative results since 1943. Interesting facts in chart form were also given about average weekly admissions per theatre, weekly attendances, and operating week takings sub-divided between British and foreign films. A map also shows how the group's 1,042 theatres are spread throughout the world. The big expansion during the. last five years, previously dealt with by means of temporary finance, has now been completelv and permanently re-financed. No less than £13,335,000 has been raised at an average rate of 3.76 per cent, per annum, a no mean achievement. In the opinion of the directors the group has now ample liquid resources to cover its requirements. Odeon Theatres, are left with 86 freehold and leasehold theatres which are not subject to any charge, having a book value of £3,555,057, which were valued during the year at £4,989,683 by its professional valuers. Gaumont Group Main change in the Gaumont group was an increase in capital to £7,125,000 by the creation of 3,500,000 additional "A" ordinary shares of 5s. each for the purpose of acquiring the shares of Associated Provincial Picture Houses, which is controlled by Provincial Cinemato- graph Theatres, a subsidiary of Gaumont British Picture Corpora- tion. The object was to further simplify the financial structure of the group with a view to effecting administrative economies and facili- tating future developments. Gaumont directors offered to acquire all the issued ordinary shares of A.P.P.H. (including those held by Provincial Cinematograph Theatres), in exchange for the allotment of 3| "A" ordinary shares of the Corpora- tion, credited as fully paid plus 2s. 6d. in cash in respect of each ordinary share of A.P.P.H. A.B.P.C. and Crisis The report of Associated British Picture Corporation, although covering only two months of the crisis period, was estimated by the board to have affected the trading profits by about £200,000. For the group profits amounted to £2,542,274 after E.P.T. and Profits Tax, an actual increase on the year of just over £200,000. The group net Finance. profit at about £970,000 was equal to over 70 per cent, on the ordinary capital, which amply covered the increased dividend of 30 per cent, declared. Chairman Sir Philip Warter was the first to openly announce that the peak in kinema attendances had passed. He also pointed out that overhead expenses were appreciably increasing with the wages bill up 25 per cent. He also referred to the offsetting factor of the repeal of E.P.T., and forecast that the results of the current year, after taxation, whilst not reaching the level of the previous year, will prove satisfactory. P.C.T. Paid 100% The big surprise of the year was the payment of 100 per cent, dividend for a period of 14 months by Pro- vincial Cinematograph Theatres comparing with only 35 per cent, for the previous 12 months. Net profit of the parent company for the period was £440,112 against £263,987, and in addition the company was able to write back £150,000 for taxation provided in prior years in excess of requirements. Increase in profits is probably due to an increased yield from the further investments in associated companies referred to at the previous annual meeting. Net profits of British & Dominions (parent concern) were up from £102,876 to £172,663. This was for a six-month period, compared with twelve months, but it included twelve months' results of the two main studio subsidiaries, Denham and Pine wood. S. L. Bernstein, presiding at the meeting of Granada Theatres last March, warned about fuel emergency restrictions and exceptional weather affecting receipts. He also referred to necessity, when conditions permit, to expend substantial sums on redecoration, refurnishing, and re- equipping theatres, but that pro- vision had been made in accounts to meet these costs. Overseas Irish Cinemas, which are managed by Odeon (Ireland), Ltd., which company owns over half the issued ordinary capital of £200,000, sold £300,000 of 4 per cent. First Debenture Stock at £102 in June, giving pre- ferential consideration to share- holders and employees. The company's five kinemas were valued in December, 1945, at £896,314. The debentures were used to repay bank loan, leaving £96,500 to carry out modernisation and re- equipment of certain properties. Value of the net assets was given at £863,138, sufficient to cover the principal of the debenture stock nearly three times, while interest, based on the average profits for the last three years, was covered over four times. KiIlemas, Redemption Report of Kinemas, Ltd., for 1946 stated that since the end of the financial year African Consolidated Theatres, had purchased properties owned by the subsidiary companies of Kinemas which enabled the company to redeem its 5 J per cent, debenture stock amounting to £380,522 at £104 per cent. In the same group, African Theatres continue to stride ahead, the net profit of over £300,000 being 512 The Kinematograph Year Book. the highest so iar. Earnings were 54.3 per cent., and dividend was raised from 25 to 30 per cent., which has been followed by an interim of 15 per cent, against 12 \ per cent. Speaking at the annual meeting of British & Dominions Film Cor- poration, which now controls the studio interests of the Rank group, J. Arthur Rank said that the accounts to April 30, 1947 would disclose profits earned for the first year's trading since the issue of the prospectus when the various studio interests were taken over. D. & P. Acquisition Consent of the Treasury had been obtained to issue 102,634 ordinary shares of 12s. each in exchange for 60,250 ordinary shares of D. & P. Studios, Ltd., which were previously held by two companies in which the late Charles Boot was interested. Directors had also arranged to acquire for cash the only other outstanding shares in the capital of D. & P. Studios. D. & P. Studios has now become a wholly owned subsidiary company of B. & D. At the annual meeting of Associated Talking Pictures (which controls Ealing Studios), Stephen L. Courtauld spoke of growing and successful tie-ups with the Rank Organisation for distribu- ting Ealing films on the one hand, and the distribution of Rank re- issues by Associated British Film Distributors, a " nursed " subsidiary of Associated Talking Pictures, on the other. Ealing Studio costs compared favourably with other British studios. G.T.C. Profits Down Profits of General Theatres Corporation were affected by the sale of the music halls, and increased operating charges. Benefits from the "earnings of two additional kinemas were felt in only three months of the year. Replacement of old debenture stocks by a new issue of ^1,000 000 3| per cent, stock has reduced annual interest from £118,813 to £35,000 in the current year. First indications of disappoint- ments to come as a result of the rapidly dwindling supply of new- American first feature films, were to be seen just before going to Press. Associated British Picture came out with an interim dividend payment of 7| per cent, compared with 10 per cent, for the previous year. Odeon, on the other hand, maintained its interim at 1\ per cent, free of tax. Later, however,, the whole market fell heavily as a result of the Government's obvious de- termination to maintain the heavy import tax. I should liked to have heard a little more from Mr. Rank about television. Addressing shareholders of Cinema Television, he confined himself to the statement that " your directors are satisfied with the progress made to date by our technical staff in the further develop- ment of television both for the home and the kinema." Rank's New Deal J. Arthur Rank aroused criticism in the City in November by attempting to transfer the shares of his private production company, General Cinema Finance Corporation, to Odeon Theatres without calling a meeting of shareholders or disclosing profits and assets of G.C.F. The criticism was followed by an amplified statement by Mr. Rank. He said that the new deal would be financed from Odeon Theatres resources ; that shareholders hold- ing more than 90 per cent, of Odeon ordinary shares had been consulted and welcomed the proposals ; that the offer to Odeon had been made at par ; that he himself was interested in 631,870 preferred and 478,497 deferred ordinary shares, which he was selling at the price he paid for them ; that Odeon's close association with production was not new and did not conflict with any existing under- taking given to Odeon shareholders. Increased Output Mr. Rank also gave a lot of informa- tion about whether or not the com- pany had broken promises to share- holders not to engage in production, and justified the move by stating that " The Tightness of this course is now clear to see, for today we -are Finance. 513 urged to step up the output of British films in the overall national interest. " Moreover, with a tax imposed on films brought in from abroad, further interests in home production is vitally necessary to safeguard the continued successful operation of our theatres." The new set up of Rank's organisa- tion is seen in comparison with the old in the accompanying family trees. The New Structure Manorfield Investment Trust I J. A. Rank Organisation I Odeon !

Summary of Acts and Other Legislation. 532 The Kinematograph Year Book. The Legal Outlook by NORMAN HART, B.A. ALTHOUGH the War has now been over some two years the industry is still experiencing difficult times with regard to the various regulations and Acts which have been included in the Statute Book during the period of the emer- gency. Of vital interest, however, is the new Quota Act, which comes into force this year. The draft of the new Act went before Parliament in December, and the major points are detailed on page 535. Quota Difficulties At the time of writing the exact quota percentages were not known, but I do. hope when the Bill comes into force they will be to the advantage of exhibitors. I mention this because where exhibitors have not been able to comply with the existing quota regulation and the Board of Trade has decided to prosecute, I have found great difficulty in convincing the magistrate that the exhibitor has had great difficulty in obtaining suitable films, considered to be a commercial proposition, on account of the booking difficulties. I would strongly impress upon exhibitors the necessity of complying as far as possible with the quota because, otherwise, if they are convicted, and they generally are, the fines imposed are heavy. More- over, if exhibitors are finding them- selves in difficulties with regard to their quota at any time they would be well advised to notify the Board of Trade at once before waiting for the Board of Trade's customary letter. Planning Act Exhibitors should also note terms of the Town and Country Planning Act of 1947. A new object of this Act is to make more effective pro- visions for control of advertisements (Sections 31 and 32). At the moment it cannot be stated how far these new provisions will extend as the control will be exercised by means of regulations made by the Minister. The regulations will, however, be made, where expedient, in the interests of amenity or public safety. They will cover the placing of road advertisements in such a position as might be likely to divert a driver's attention ; pre-war electric signs in public places ; dimensions, appear- ance and position of advertisements ; planning controls which ma}- be required ; enforcement provisions in case of non-compliances ; the con- stitution of an Advertisements Ad- visory Committee ; the constitution of an independent tribunal to whom appeals can be referred where a Local Planning Authority declines to give its consent ; defining areas and special control where a display of advertisements will be totally prohibited. Advertisements Existing advertisements which did not comply with the regulations when made, no doubt will have to come down but a reasonable time for taking them down will be allowed. No compensation will be paid for the removal of any advertisements or advertising site which was not in existence on January 7, 1947. Penalties for contravention will be imposed and in addition to prose- cuting the occupier of the site or the persons responsible for the display of advertisements, proceedings can be brought against the proprietor of the goods to which publicity is given and the owner of the land and building The Legal Outlook. 533 concerned unless these persons can disprove guilty knowledge. Once the regulations are made local Planning Authorities are given full power to remove contravening advertisements. No question of compensation arises — all that can be claimed is the expense reasonably incurred by an owner of the advertisement in carrying out the Local Planning Authorities' require- ments. Control of Labour Readers should also note the Control of Employment Act, 1947, under which all men between the ages of 18 and 50 inclusive, and women between the ages of 18 and 40 inclusive, must get their engagements through the approved offices of the Ministry of Labour and National Service or approved employment agencies. There are certain exemp- tions but these do not apply to any- one connected with the kinema industry. The Act came into force on October 6, 1947, and ceases to have effect after December 31, 1948. Licences issued by the Board of Trade have an endorsement on them to the effect that the issue of that licence does not guarantee that any labour that may be required will be made available. In other words, usherettes and attendants come within the category of this Act. Usherettes, attendants and commissionaires (men between the ages of 18 and 50 and women between the ages of 18 and 40) leaving their present employment will be directed into essential industries and it does not follow that they would be required to fill any other kinema vacancies. Children and Sunday Shows Many matters affecting Licences have been dealt with during the year. Of especial importance are those relating to children and to children under a certain age attending kinemas on a Sunday whether accompanied by a parent or guardian or not. As I have often stated I do feel more than ever that it is very essential that both the Cinemato- graph Act of 1909 and the Sunday Entertainments Act of 1932 should be amended at the earliest possible moment. There was one very interesting case with reference to children under 15 years of age being admitted into a kinema on Sunday decided by the Court of Appeal last year. The Court in its judgment pointed out that in the first place the Court of Appeal was not dealing with a judicial act but an executive act ; secondly the conditions which under the exercise of that executive act may be imposed are in terms put within the discretion of the Licensing Authority without limitation ; and thirdly that the statute provides no appeal from the decision of the Licensing Authority. Court of iVppeal Ruling The Master of the Rolls in his judgment summarised the principle as follows : — A Licensing Authority does not act in a judicial capacity but in an executive one and consequently one is not dealing with a judicial act but an executive act and there- fore there is no appeal from the Authority's decision. Under the exercise of this executive act it rather seems that the terms may be imposed at the discretion of the Local Authority without limita- tion and as the statutes provide for no appeal the Licensee is put in a very difficult position. Licensing Authorities must act reasonably and whether such a condition is a reasonable one or not, in their executive capacity, seems to concern the Licensing Authority itself. The higher courts can only interfere with an act of the executive authority if it be shown that the authority has contravened the law. They can investigate the action of the Licensing Aifthority only with a view to seeing whether it has taken 534 The Kinematograph Year Book. into account matters which it ought not to take into account or con- versely has refused to take into account or neglected to take into account matters which it ought to take into account. The power of the Court to interfere is not as an appellate authority to override the decision of the Licensing Authority but as a judicial authority it can only determine whether the Licensing Authority had contravened the law by acting in excess of the powers conferred by Parliament. Sunday Opening The Emergency Laws (Transitional Provisions) Act 1946, Defence Regu- lation 42b, under which permission to open on Sundays was granted, expired on December 31, 1947, and unless it has been made of permanent effect by an Order of the Secretary of State Sunday opening will not be permitted. Many areas have taken advantage of the provision of the Act to obtain continuity of Sunday opening. If, however, this has not been done and S.O. is required then exhibitors will have to comply with the Sunday Entertainments Act of 1932. In this case a draft Order must be submitted to the Secretary of State ; a Public Meeting arranged and, if necessary, a poll taken in the area. Transport Act Much has been said in the press about the Transport Act of 1947, the object of which is to nationalise all transport, including railways, and to bring all transport undertakings under the control of a central authority to be known as the British Transport Commission. The transport of goods by road, which would include films, is dealt with specifically in Part III of the Act and under that Part of the Act the Commission are empowered to acquire any road transport under- taking, the activities of which con- sist wholly or partly with the operation of vehicles under an " A " or " B " Licence,* and where the undertaking was carried on during the whole or any part of the year 1946 in the carriage of goods, for hire or reward. The date of transfer of under- takings under Part III is to be specified in the notice of acquisition but the Act provides that parties may by agreement substitute another date. It should be noted that under the Finance Act of 1947 stamp duties were increased from August 1 , and this should be considered when making offers for the purchase of property, etc. The duties are doubled on con- veyances or transfers by way of sale or voluntary disposition, except in respect of smaller conveyances of property. In such cases when the consideration does not exceed £1,500 there will be no change in the duty and when the consideration is between £1,500 and £1,950 there will be graduated increases rising to the full double duty when the considera- tion exceeds £1,950. Stamp Duties Up to £1,500 the stamp duty will be at the rate of £1 per cent ; between £1,500 and £1,950 the duty will be graduated and over and above £1,950 the rate will be £2 per cent. The stamp duties on leases are also doubled, except in the case of certain of the smaller transactions. In The Companies Act of 1947, there have been several important changes to the legislation in the Act of 1929. Under the provisions of the new Act an investigation can be initiated by not less than 200 shareholders of the company even if they hold less than one-tenth of the issued shares. It also gives much wider powers of investigation to the Board of Trade if it is considered that the business of any company is being conducted fraudulently. Such an investigation would also apply to any other company, which is sub- sidiary or allied to the company in question. The sections of the Act dealing with the powers of investiga- tion came into force on December 1, 1947. The New Films Act. 535 The New Films Act THE draft of the Quota Act went before Parliament in December, 1947. It was revealed that the actual quota percentages would not be published before July 1 of this year, but apart from this there were few surprises. The renters' quota has been dropped. Different quotas are likely to be fixed for circuits and pre-release kinemas and for independent ex- hibitors. Small exhibitors with takings of under £100 a week were at first exempt but this was later cancelled. There will also be a separate quota for first features and supporting films. The new Act consisted of ten clauses and two sets of schedules and amend- ments. It was still in progress through Parliament when the Year Book went to press, and this outline may thus need to be subsequently modified . The first four clauses of the new Bill are about exhibitors' quota. There is then a clause about circuits and specialised pre-release theatres, and another designed to prevent block booking at an all-in rate. Clause 7 gives the Board of Trade power to cover the 16-mm. field with the quota where it wishes. Clause 8 involves minor alterations in the constitution of the Films Council, reducing the number of independent members from 11 to 7, and increasing the number of producers and employee members from two to four in each case. Clause 9 stipulates that until next October, exhibitors' quota remains in force as under the old Act. The last of the ten clauses explains that the 1938 Act will be regarded as the principal one, and that the quota period will last for six months beginning in October. It is laid down that there will be a separate quota for British first features with a percentage to be fixed next July. A first feature is defined as the chief film in the programme where there is only one long film ; or as the one involving the higher rental rate where there are two films ; or as the one showing at the end of the day's performance where there is a double-feature programme in- volving equal cash for both films. Newsreels, advertising films, foreign educational films, and so on, are right outside the Films Act, just as they were before, and the old age limit for reissues still applies. The new Act makes it quite clear that there can be different quotas for special quota theatres — circuits and pre-release houses, and such things will be determined by con- sultation between the Films Council and the Board of Trade. A clause is to be inserted to prevent the showing of British films at unusual hours when the kinemas are normally doing poor business. In order to count as exhibitors' quota a picture must be shown between the hours of 5 and 10 p.m. It must also pass a labour cost test. Exhibitors in highly competitive positions will also be specially protected. The original idea was that if a showman can prove to the Board of Trade that no less than three other exhibitors are competing against him locally he can ask for special treatment and a reduced quota percentage. A circuit kinema is defined as one of 200 or more theatres controlled by the same persons and they can be licensed as special theatres. The Selection Committee originallv appointed by the Board of Trade can, if it wishes, require such theatres to show up to six selected British first features per year regardless of the per- centage of the quota. These nomina- ted films, however, will count towards the theatres' quota obligations. A clause is likely to be inserted in the Act protecting the circuits against excessive film rentals. Pre-release theatres can be designated as special quota theatres, again after consultation between the Board of Trade and the Films Council, and once more their per- centages may be specially fixed, 536 The Kinematograph Year Book. Summary of Acts and By-laws Revised by NORMAN HART, B.A. The Acts of Parliament and local by-laws which relate to or affect the exhibition, storage or transit of kinemato- graph films are of paramount importance to the trade, and should be closely studied by all engaged in it. Below will be found a condensed digest of the principal regulations gover- ning this industry. This has been prepared by a leading solicitor, who has explained the most essential points in a manner which will be readily understood by readers. CINEMATOGRAPH ACT, 1909. All kinematograph exhibitions must be held at premises which are licensed (s. 1). This Act was passed for making better provision for securing safety at kinematograph and other exhibitions. Under Clause I, provided premises comply with the regulations laid down by the Secretary of State, which are regulations dealing with the question of safety, nothing more is required. All premises must hold a licence where inflammable films are used. The Act contains no definition of the word " inflammable." Exceptions. — A licence is not necessary in the following cases : — (a) Where non-flammable films are used (as to whether a film is non- flammable or flammable is one of fact for the Justices to decide). (See Victoria Pier, Ltd. v. Reeves, 1912, 28 T.L.R. 443 ; also see re Dickman and Moore, Times Newspaper, December 17, 1912.) (Note. — If an exhibitor holds a licence for premises upon which he originally used inflammable films and decides in future to use non-flammable films only, he is still bound by the conditions on the licence granted although otherwise no licence would ba necessary.) (b) For exhibitions in private dwelling-houses where the general public are not admitted whether on payment or otherwise. (Note. — A hospital has been held not to be a private house under Section 7 of the Act, for which a licence is required — National Hospital for Paralysed and Epileptic Persons, Times, October 11, 1913.^ (c) Where premises are only used occasionally and not more than six days in any one year. But in this case the occupier must — i. Give seven days' notice in writing to the Licensing Authority and the chief officer of police of the police area; ii. Comply with the regulations as to safety ; iii. Comply with any conditions imoosed in writing by the Licensing Authority. (d) On premises used for the purpose of exhibiting films to bond-fide purchasers — Att.-Gen. v. Vttagvaph Co., 1915, C.H. 206. Movable Buildings or Structures, provided the owner (a) Has a licence in respect of the building or structure from the Licensing Authority for the district where he ordinarily resides. Summary of Acts. 537 [b) Has given two days' notice in writing to the Licensing Authority for the district where the exhibition is to take place, and to the chief officer of police of the police area. (c) Complies with any conditions imposed in writing by th 3 Licensing Authority. REGULATIONS AS TO SAFETY. These are made by the Home Secretary (Act s. 1) except in Scotland and Ireland, where the Secretaries for Scotland and Ireland respectively exercise this power (Act ss. 8 and 9). They are known as the Cinematograph Regulations, 1910 (Statutory Rules and Orders [1910] No. 189) and 1913 (St. R. & O. [1913] No. 566). Every owner and manager of a kinema must make himself familiar with these regulations, which are binding, even if the conditions of the licence happen to be incon- sistent with them. LICENSING AUTHORITY. (1) England. — The Council of the County or County Borough, but as a rule these powers are, in the first instance at least, exercised by a com- mittee. Where the place is licensed by the Lord Chamberlain for stage plays, that official also grants kinematograph licences. The County or County Borough Council may delegate these powers to the local justices (Act s. 5). Licensing Justices sit as an administrative body, not as a Court of Summary Jurisdiction — Huish v. Liverpool Justices, [1914] 1 K.B. 109. Therefore they have no power to state a case. Doubtful if any appeal of licensing authorities where a licence is refused without any reason. If reasons are stated and not been satisfactory or a proper hearing has not been given, proceedings by way of mandamus should be taken to the Court of Appeal. A further appeal in such a case can be taken to the House of Lords, or proceedings might be taken in the King's Bench Division for a declaration that proposed conditions which the Licensing Authorities have decided to put upon licences are ultra vires and an injunction asked for to restrain the authorities from enforcing same. In cases before the Court of Summary Jurisdiction where the procedure is by way of case stated to the Divisional Court no further appeal is allowed. (2) Scotland.— The Council of the County or the magistrates of a royal parliamentary or police burgh. There is no power of delegation (Act s. 8). (3) Ireland. — The Council of the County or County Borough or Urban District or the Commissioners of the Town. There is no power of delegation, but a County Council may, in writing, authorise any officer of the Council to exercise any of the powers of the Act (Act s. 9). GRANT, RENEWAL AND TRANSFER OF LICENCES. Licences are normally for one year, but may be for shorter periods (Act s. 2 (2)). The Act makes no provision for granting provisional licences. For new grants or transfers seven days' notice in writing must be giveji to the Licensing Authority and to the chief officer of police of the police area, but no notice need be given in the case of a renewal (Act s. 2 (4)). Fees Payable. — One year's licence (grant or renewal), £\. Shorter periods, 5s. a month (but not to exceed £1 for every year). Transfers, 5s (Act s. 2 (5)). Licensees. — The Licensing Authority has a discretion (Act s. 2 (1) (3)). Where the refusal was based on the ground that several of the directors and the majority of the shareholders of the company in question were alien enemies, the refusal was upheld by the Court (Rex v. L.C.C. ex parte London and Provincial Electric Theatres, [1915] 2 K.B. 466). 53g The Kinematograph Year Book. Conditions. — Under Clause 2, Section 1, Licensing Authorities have much further powers than those given under Clause 1, as they can grant licences subject to such conditions as they may think fit in addition to the regulations of the Secretary of State as regards safety. The condition must be reasonable — L.C.C. v. Bermondsey Bioscope, 80 L.J.K. 1314. It has been argued on the words of the Act that these must be decided upon when the application for each licence is made, and not determined beforehand {e.g., most of the authorities issue a list of conditions which licensees must submit to), but this argument has not met with favour (see Rex v. Burnley Justices (1916), 32 T.L.R. at p. 696). Conditions or undertakings which have been upheld in the Courts include Against opening on Sundays and Holy Days, even where non- inflammable films used (L.C.C. v. Bermondsey Bioscope Co., [1911] 1 K.B. 445; Ellis v. North Metropolitan Theatres, [1915] 2 K.B. 61). Against showing any film to which the Authority objects {ex parte Stott, [1916] 1 K.B. 7) ; As to hours of opening and closing {Rex v.' Burnley Justices, supra) . Against showing any licentious or indecent film '{Rex v. Burnley Justices, supra). There is a distinction between conditions and undertakings and a con- dition as to the admission of children has been held bad {Halifax Theatre de Luxe v. Gledhill, [1915] 2 K.B. 49), but an undertaking of not so widespread a character relating to the same matter has been upheld {Rex v. Burnley Justices, supra). Breach of a condition is an offence for which the licensee may be fined, and at once lose his licence ; breach of an undertaking ma}r lead to refusal of renewal. A condition that no film can be shown if a specified number of justices, object is void, as different groups may think differently {Rex v. Burnley Justices, supra). Where the Licensing Authority enforce a condition that no film to which the Authority objects may be shown, the owner of the film is apparently without any adequate remedy {ex parte Stott, [1916] 1 K.B. 7; Stott v. Gamble, [1916] 2 K.B. 504). A condition that no film be shown which has not been certified for public exhibition by the British Board of Film Censors is ultra vires, as it sets up in place of the Licensing Committee another Body whose ipse dixit should be a test of what might be exhibited. {Ellis v. Dubouski, [1921] 3 K.B.D.) As to whether, therefore, the above conditions are intra vires is somewhat doubtful, and it might be argued that even if a film had not been censored and ao notice given to the Local Licensing Authority, the only legal ground for proceeding against an exhibitor for showing the picture would be that of indecency. The argument was upheld in a summons brought against an exhibitor in the Midlands, by the Licensing Authority, on the condition that if it was desired to show a film that had not been passed by the Censor, three clear days' notice must be sent to the Licensing Authority. Police Supervision. — Any police officer and any person authorised by the Licensing Authority may enter any premises (whether licensed or not) where he has reason to believe that a kinematograph exhibition is being or is about to be given. A police officer needs no authority, and while there may pay attention to any other breaches of the law that he may suspect [McVittie v. Turner, [1916] 85 L.J. K.B. 23). If anyone prevents or obstructs him, the offender is liable to be fined up to ^20 (Act s. 4). A Constable without consent is not entitled to take away a piece of a film, for the purpose of testing whether it is inflammable or non-flammable. Summary of Acts. 539 PENALTIES. Besides the offence just mentioned, the owner of a kinematograph or other apparatus who uses it or allows it to be used in contra- vention of the Act or the Regulations or the conditions of the licence, and the occupier of premises who allows them to be used in contravention of the same, may be fined up to £2Q, and in the case of a continuing offence £5 a day, and the licence may be revoked on conviction (Act s. 3). The manager of a kinema owned by a company is not an occupier, and cannot be summoned as such (Bruce v. McMaines, [1915] 3 K.B. 1). A kinematograph licence does not authorise musical accompaniments. A music licence is not necessary where music is subsidiary to the picture. — See Hallinan, 73 J.P.N. 458. Theatre and Music and Dancing Licences may also be necessary. Theatre Licences for Stage Plays are obtained from the Lord Chamberlain in London, and from the justices elsewhere. Music and Dancing Licences, are granted by the County and County Borough Councils, who can delegate this power to the local justices. Music and Dancing Licences in London are governed by the Music Hall Act, 1751. In Middlesex by the Music and Dancing Middlesex Act, 1894. In other areas beyond 20 miles from the Cities of London and Westminster under the Public Health Acts (Amendment Act), 1890, Sec. 4. Music Licences are renewable only once each year. They may contain conditions (in view of the section of the Public Health Act) different to the conditions of a kine- matograph licence, as that act does not apply to Music and Dancing Licences. A Music and Dancing Licence does not authorise stage plays, nor does a Theatre Licence, under the Theatre Act, 1843, include Music and Dancing. CHILDREN. Where an entertainment is given for children {i.e., under four- teen), or the majority of persons present are children, and their number exceeds one hundred, and access to any part of the building is by stairs, then it is the duty of the occupier (if he is paid) and of the person giving the entertainment (in any case) to see that an adequate number of adult atten- dants are present to prevent overcrowding in any part, to control the move- ments of the audience when entering and leaving, and also to take all reasonable precautions for safety. Police officers have the right of entry. The penalty for a first offence is up to ^50, for a second or subsequent offence up to ^100, and any licence held in respect of the building may be revoked (Children Act, 1908, s. 121). The kinematograph licence is not mentioned, as it had not come into existence at that date. The Employment of Children Act, 1903, s. 1, enables local authorities to make bye-laws relating to the employment of children (i.e., under fourteen), and many of them have exercised this power. A licensee should enquire at the council offices whether the local authority of his district has made any bye-law affecting him (e.g., as to programme, sweet, or cigarette sellers, etc.) No child (under sixteen) employed half - time in a factory or workshop may be employed elsewhere (Act 1903, s. 3 (3)), nor may any child be employed before six a.m. or after nine p.m., unless the local bye-laws allow it (Act 1903, s. 3 (1)). The fine is up to 40s. for a first offence, and £5 afterwards (Act 1903, s.5 (1)). Under the Children and Young Persons Act, 1933, where there is provided in any building an entertainment for children or an entertainment at which the majority of the persons attending are children, then, if the number of children attending the entertainment exceeds one hundred the person provid- ing the entertainment must station and keep stationed wherever necessary a sufficient number of adult attendants, properly instructed as to their duties, to prevent more children or other persons being admitted to the building, 540 The Kinematograph Year Book. and to control the movement of the children and other persons admitted while entering and leaving the building or any part thereof, and to take all other reasonable precautions for the safety of the children. Under Section 4 of this Act a constable may enter the building at any time with a view to seeing whether the provisions of the Act are being properly carried out. By the Royal assent having been given to the Shops Hours of Closing Act, 1928, patrons can buy tobacco, matches, table waters, sweets, chocolates or other sugar confectionery or ice-cream at any time during performances in any Theatre, Kinema, Music Hall or other similar place of entertainment so long as the sale is to bona-fide members of the audience and not on a part of the building to which other members of the public have access. This does away with the ban put upon Kinemas by D.O.R.A. some years ago. ADMISSION. Admission can only be given by ticket stamped with a mark denoting tnat duty has been paid, or in special cases, if the Commissioners approve, through a barrier which automatically registers the numbers admitted. But the proprietor can make arrangements with the Commissioners dispensing with these conditions on the terms of furnishing certified returns at stated times and giving security for due payment of the duty. Penalty for breach : Proprietor, ^50 and duty ; Person admitted, £5. Special provision is made for lump sum payments in the case of clubs or societies, or in the case of season tickets or tickets for a series of entertainments. Duty is not payable where the Commissioners are satisfied : (a) That the proceeds are devoted to philanthropic or charitable purposes without deduction of expenses, or (6) That the entertainment is wholly educational (in case of difference the Board of Education decides) ; or (c) That the entertainment is provided for partly educational or partly scientific purposes by a society, and not run for profit ; or (d) That it is provided by or on behalf of a school or educational institution if the school or institution is not run for profit, and the entertainment is provided solely for promoting some object of the school or institution, and that all the persons who are performers are under sixteen and are scholars or ex-scholars of the school or institution. In the case of a charity performance where the whole of the expenses are deducted, but do not exceed 20 per cent, of the receipts, the duty is repaid to the proprietor. Any officer of excise authorised to do so may enter a place of entertain- ment and any person who prevents or obstructs him is liable to a fine up to £20. The Commissioners can make regulations, any breach of which entails an excise penalty of £50, and they may make arrangements whereby the local authority (county, borough, or urban district council), or the police may exercise all or any of the powers of the Commissioners as to this duty. The law is contained in the Finance (New Duties) Act, 1916, ss. 1 and 2, and the Finance Act, 1916, s. 12. TRANSIT BY RAIL. Railway Regulations in regard to Film Boxes. — The specification of the Railway Clearing House of the type of metal boxes required by the Railway Companies to be used for the transit of films is as follows : Boxes must be rectangular, wood-lined cases, to hold not more than six films and measure not more than 14^ inches outside either way. They must be made of galvanised iron of not less thickness than .022 of an inch (No. 25 b.g.) for the small one and two film cases, and not less than .028 of an inch (No. 23 b.g.) for the larger sizes (three to six film cases). All the corners of the sides and bottom must be strengthened. by folding Summary of Acts. 541 ENTERTAINMENTS TAX SEAT-PRICE SCALE AS FROM MAY 16, 1943 Net. Tax. Gross. Net. Tax. Gross. s.

Sunday Observance Act, 1781. Any house opened for Public amusement or debate on a Sunday to which persons shall be admitted by payment of money shall be deemed a Disorderly House — Penalty ^200 for every Sunday opened. (Note) — If a reasonable number of persons are admitted free there is no offence under the Act in making a charge for a reserved seat ; it will be noted that the Act speaks of admission, not to a seat, but to the entertainment. (See Sunday Entertainments Act, 1932.) !923. New Regulation under Cinematograph Act, 1909. Exhibitors should always keep a copy oi these regulations by them as they take the place of the previous regulations dated 18th February, 1910, and 20th May, 1913. Finance Act, 1920. This was an Act passed to grant certain duties to Customs and Inland Revenue, to alter other duties, and to amend the law relating to Customs and Inland Revenue and the National Debt and to make further provision in connection with finance. Unemployment Insurance Act, 1920, was an act passed to amend the Law in respect of Insurance against Unemployment. All persons of the age of 16 and upwards who are engaged in employment as specified by the Act shall be insured against unemployment in manner provided by the Act. Children and Young Persons Act, 1933. A child under 14 may not take part in any entertainment in connection with which any charge is made to the audience except under a licence granted by the local education authority. The licence may be granted only rf the child has attained the age of 12 years and the authority must be satisfied that the child is fit to take part in the entertainment. 1921. The Entertainments Duty Regulations are regulations made by the Commissioners of Customs and Excise under Section 2 of the Finance New Duties Act, 1916, for securing the payment of Entertainments Duty. The points to be noted are that the price of admission must be printed on the tickets. Adhesive stamps are not to be issued except upon the tickets. No tickets other than stamped tickets to be issued on payment made for admission. Tickets and stamps to be issued undefaced and defaced sub- sequently.

(Note : Arrangements approved by the Commissioners can be made for providing returns of payments for admission to an entertainment.) The Rating and Valuation Act, 1925, was passed (inter alia) to define what machinery and plant was deemed to be part of the hereditament for rating purposes. Home Counties, Music and Dancing Licences Act, 1926. This was an Act passed to amend the law as regards Music and Dancing Licences in parts of certain Home Counties and in certain County Boroughs adjacent thereto. It gave powers to the Council to grant Licences for any period not exceeding 13 months to such persons as they thought fit. Under this Act the Council can delegate all or any of its powers to a Com- mittee consisting wholly or partly of members of the Council. Landlord and Tenant Act, 1927. This Act came into force on the 25th March 1927. It provides (inter alia) for compensation for improvements and compensation for loss of goodwill. Trade Unions and Trade Disputes Act, 1927, amends the law relating to Trade Disputes and Trade Unions and regulates the position of Civil Servants and persons employed by public authorities in respect of membership of trade unions and similar organisations and to extend section 5 of the Conspiracy and Protection of Property Act, 1875. The Rating and Valuation Act, 1928, was an Act passed to extend to the Administrative County of London the provisions of the Rating and Valuation Act, 1925, with respect to the valuation of hereditaments containing machinery and plant and to make temporary provision with respect to the deduction to be made in ascertaining the rateable value — to amend Sections 11 and 37 and the 4th and 5th Schedules of the 1925 Act and to provide for the tenant decisions on points of law with a view to securing uniformity in valuation. The Rating and Valuation (Apportionment) Act, 1928, was an Act passed to make provision with a view to granting of relief h om rates in respect of certain classes of hereditaments to be affected and the apportionment in Valuation Lists of the net annual value of such heredita- ments according to the extent and user thereof for various purposes. Section 3, sub-section 1 of this Act contains provisions as to " Industrial Hereditaments." " Industrial Hereditament " has been defined to mean a hereditament occupied and used as a mine or mineral railway or as a factory or workshop. A hereditament though part of it may be in law a " factory " or " workshop " is not to be treated as an Industrial hereditament if the premises as a whole are not primarily used for the purposes of a factory or workshop. With regard to the position of a Kinematograph Theatre, in view of the fact that the premises are not used primarily for the purposes of a factory or workshop I do not consider it comes under the heading of " Industrial Hereditament " and therefore does not appear to be entitled to " relief " as an" Industrial hereditament." The Rating and Valuation (Apportionment) Act Rules, 1928, made by tbe Minister of Health under section 58 of the Rating and Valuation Act, 1925, and of the Rating and Valuation (Apportionment) Act, 1928, prescribes the forms of notices, claims and lists to be used for the purposes of the fiist Schedule to the last mentioned Act and the dates to be observed in con- nection with the preparation and approval of lists under that Schedule. The list of valuations is deposited by the Rating Authorities at the office of the Authority and any person aggrieved can object to the assessment within 25 days of the deposit of the Valuation List. Forms of objection can be obtained from the Rating Authorities, and the forms should contain every possible ground for complaint. One person can object to another person's assessment on the ground that it is too low, and in such a case the 544 The Kinematograph Year Book. croupier is entitled to receive notice from the Assessment Committee of the objection.

COPYRIGHT. Under the Copyright Act, 1911, the owner of a literary or dramatic work has the sole right to make a kinematograph film or other contrivance by which the same may be mechanically performed, and to authorise such acts. Before the Act it was held that there was no such right (Kamo v. Pathe Freres, 100 L.T. 260). Infringement is doing without the owner's consent anything which conflicts with the owner's rights. It includes selling, or letting for hire, or by way of trade exposing or offering for sale or hire, or by way of trade exhibiting in public or importing for sale or hire any work which infringes copyright or would do so if the work had been made in the country where infringement takes place. It also includes the case of a person who, for his private profit, permits a theatre or place of entertainment to be used for the public performance of a work without the owner's consent unless the person so doing was not aware and had no reasonable ground for suspecting that it was an infringement. Copyright lasts during the life of the author and fifty years after his death. In the case of photographs, it is fifty years from the making of the original negative. All transfers or licences must be in writing and signed by the owner or his agent. The author cannot assign his copyright for longer than twenty- five years after his death. A compulsory licence can be obtained twenty-five or thirty years after the author's death, but this provision cannot apply before 1936 at the earliest. The Privy Council has the power to grant a compulsory licence at any time after the author's death if it is proved that the work has been published or Summary of Acts. 547 performed in public, and the present owner of the copyright has refused to allow republication, etc., so that the work is in effect withheld irom the public. An employee or apprentice does not acquire the copyright in work he does for his employer. Where a photograph is taken at the order of the sitter, who pays for it, he, and not the photographer, is the owner. It is a criminal offence to infringe copyright knowingly , and the offender is liable to a fine up to 40s. for every copy, but not more than £50 for any one trans- action. In the case of second or subsequent offences, the justices can send the offender to prison for two months without the option of a fine, and in all cases may order the copies to be destroyed. No criminal charge under the Act can be brought more than six months after the act complained of. In civil proceedings the usual remedy is an injunction, but the defendant is also liable for damages unless he proves not merely that he did not know of the copyright, but also that he had no reasonable grounds for suspecting its existence. For example, if a kinema proprietor hires a film to show at one hall, he is liable for damages if he shows it at any other place (Fenning Film Service v. Wolverhampton, etc., Cinemas [1914] 3 K.B. 1171). Where the alleged infringement is such that the Court would not protect it as an original work {e.g., on the ground of indecency), the owner of the copyright cannot sue under the Act, but can claim damages for defamatory representation of his work (Glyn v. Western Feature Film Co. [1916] 1 Ch. 261). The proper way to prove a film is to call someone who has seen it shown and not to pro- duce the film unless some point turns on the film itself. THE CELLULOID ACT. An Act known as " The Celluloid and Cinematograph Film Act of 1922 " has been passed to make better provision for the prevention of fire in premises where raw celluloid or kinematograph films are stored or used. The purposes to which this Act applies are : — ( 1 ) The keeping or storing of raw celluloid — (a) In quantities exceeding at any one time one hundredweight ; or (b) In smaller quantities unless kept (except when required to be exposed for the purpose of the work carried on in the premises) in a properly closed metal box or case ; and (2) The keeping or storing of kinematograph film — (a) In quantities exceeding at any one time twenty reels or eighty pounds in weight, or (b) In smaller quantities unless each reel is kept (except when re- quired to be exposed for the purpose of the work carried on in the premises) in a separate and properly closed metal box or case : — • Provided that : — (i.) For the purpose of this Act, kinematograph film shall be deemed to be kept in any premises where it is tempor- arily deposited for the purpose of examination, cleaning, packing, re-winding or repair, but celluloid or kinemato- graph film shall not be deemed to be kept or stored in any premises where it is temporarily deposited whilst in the course of delivery, conveyance or transport ; and (ii.) The provisions of this Act shall not, except in the cases referred to in paragraphs (c), (d) and (e) of Sub-section (1) of Section 1 thereof, apply to premises to which tne Factory and Workshop Acts, 1901 to 1920 apply. Nor do the provisions of this Act apply to premises licensed under the Cinematograph Act, 1909. It should be pointed out, however, that under this Act any Officer duly authorised by a local authority may at any time take for analysis sufficient samples of any material which he suspects to be or to contain Celluloid. S2 548 The Kinematograph Year Book HOME OFFICE REGULATIONS, 1923. The 1923 Regulations under the Cinematograph Act. 1909, are some- what important, and have been somewhat amended from their original form, owing to various meetings that took place between the Sub-Committee of the C.E.A. and the Home Office. The Regulations took the place of previous Regulations of February 18, 1910 and May 20, 191 3. The Regulations must be exhibited in the enclosure and easily accessible to operators. They are dated July 30, 1923, and operate from that date, but they would not affect any licence for the period for which it was granted, though, of course, when the same is renewed the new conditions will appear. As regards clause 4, " Fire Appliances " footnote should be noticed as it lays down that a fireman need not be employed exclusively in taking charge of the fire appliances. He must not, however, be given other work during an exhibition which would take him away from the building or other- wise prevent him from being immediately available in case of danger or alarm of fire. As regards No. 5, " Smoking," it should be observed that notices stating that smoking is prohibited shall be kept posted in the enclosure and film room or anywhere where films are stored, wound or repaired. As regards No. 7, relating to enclosure, fire-resisting material now includes teak or oak not less than two inches thick. With regard to clause 7, " Enclosures," Sec. 8, it will be noticed that in case of need the enclosure may be left for a short period in charge of a com- petent assistant over 16 years of age. As to what is the exact definition of a " competent operator/' one does not know, but apparently it can be taken to mean that an operator who can satisfactorily operate would come within the definition of a " competent operator." With regard to clause 13, " Lighting," it should be pointed out that if the general lighting is by. electricity the safety lighting shall be by {a) electricity from another source (b) gas or (c) oil or candles. One does not take this to mean that the safety lighting, if electricity, shall be taken from an entirely different supply, but merely that there shall be primary and secondary lighting installed in the building, the intention, of course, being that should the electric light supply be temporarily interrupted, the theatre will not be put into darkness Clause 14, on " Electrical Installation," it should be noticed that the Wiring Rules of the Institution of Electrical Engineers apply, a copy of which can always be obtained from Odhams Press Ltd., Technical Book Dept., 85, Long Acre, London, W.C.2. Price 1/2 post free. It should be observed that Sections A, E, F and G of these Regulations do not apply to wiring in existence before July 30, 1923, except in the event. of such wiring being altered or renewed, With regard to clause 15.it should be noticed that the requirements in paragraphs C, D M and N shall not apply to apparatus in use before the date of these Regulations, and the requirements in paragraphs E, G, I, J and K do not apply until July 29, 1925, except in the event of the apparatus being renewed or materially altered. OVERSEAS MARKETS Surveys and Directories Compiled by "Kine" Foreign Correspondents 550 The Kinematograph Year Book. Overseas Markets UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO the Americans 1947 was a year of suspense. It opened with the industry trying to get copies of a decree which a three-judge federal court in New York handed down as the old \-ear closed. The decree is one which will, if and when enforced, cause a wide revision in sales practices. The year closed with the industry waiting to see what the highest judgment seat of the nation — the U.S. Supreme Court — would do about the appeals which both the distributor defendants and the Government have taken against the decree. The distributor defendants would set aside the regulations on sales and the like ; the Government would go one step forward and order the defendants to divest themselves of their theatre properties and retire from the field of exhibition. Ln-American Activities The year also closed with the industry under fire for permitting alleged " un- Americans *' to work within its ranks, with an attack by religious groups on some of its pictures, and with the three branches — production, distribution, exhibition — seeking through economies to offset in part the loss of important foreign markets. The foreign situation, a result of international dollar shortages, is probably the most serious. It is best illustrated by the British situation. It is obvious that the American industry must seek some solution to the problem of foreign markets because of the situation which has developed at home. Their management is faced with the problem of trying to keep profits at the high peak of war records and immediate post-war records. These million upon million returns were the result of a war condition when those at heme, with little that they could spend their money on due to rationing and shortages, went to the movies. It developed a period where a picture found lines at the box-office regardless of whether H were good or bad. Less Spending Money Today management is faced with the fact that audiences can use their spending money to buy radios, automobiles, etc., that the cost of living, which has risen enormously, gives them less spending money, and that the cost of production, distribution and exhibition, which have also risen, is eroding the high-profit peaks. While it has been repeatedly demonstrated that a good picture will do phenomenal business, a mediocre one will not. And coupled with this is the problem of inventory, a problem which ties in with the foreign market situation. All companies are carrying backlogs of pictures made during high costs in their vaults. It is this situation, coupled with the curtail- ment of foreign markets, which has led to the wave of economy within the American industry accompanied by discharges of employees. But beyond financial problems, the Amedcan industry has others which are also serious. The perennial effort to tamper with the movies, which seems to be particularly American, is at present making itself felt with opposition by religious organisations to certain pictures. Complaints against " The Outlaw " actually led to serious censorship complications in many localities. Politicians as a rule look upon censorship with favour since censor boards usually prove profitable in that the salaries of the censors and other operating costs seldom equal the amount of money collected for reviewing fees. Hence censorship can be an attractive extra form of revenue production for the State or the city. But these complaints against the films have had more serious repercussions. The M.P.A., faced with a rising tide of such complaints, the greatest in fact since the wave which started the Roman Catholic Legion of Decency going, has twice amended its advertising code. Recently it amended its production code so as to outlaw films based on actual criminal characters and to ban titles which are objection- able to the public through association witn objectionable subjects. Rising Costs Rising costs have resulted in higher operating expenses. Film companies are seeking more rentals and different methods of selling. The American Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers is seeking higher royalty fees from theatres for the performances of its members' music contained in pictures. Exhibitcr organisations to date are against these rises. They have in the main opposed advanced admissions for certain types of pictures but have got nowhere. The fact is that despite exhibitor unanimity on many subjects, the exhibitor does not present a united front. This. 5 best illustrated by the fact that there are two national exhibitor organisations in the United States — Allied States Association of Motion Picture Exhibitors ; and Theatre Owners of America, the latter was born this year from a merger of the American Theatres Association and the Motion Picture Theatre Owners of America. Allied, which believes that the solution to most problems lies through legislation and litigation, will not have any affiliated circuits in its ranks and admits only " independents." T.O.A. comprises both affiliated circuits and " independents " with an effort made to keep the control in the hands of the " indepeidents " by restrictions on the directorate. T.O.A.'s policy is more one of negotiation and study. The year also saw other developments. Distributing companies, for the most part, are releasing product more rapkky than they did in the past and are seeking quicker payoffs. Overseas. 551 Competitive bidding was tried and found wanting by both distributor and exhibitor. There was a tendency to return to selling pictures at high, flat rentals. Distributors have dropped salesmen, which may mean fewer calls on smaller accounts, and in some instances distributors are seeking to sell by phone and by mail. Studies are being conducted to reduce exchange centres. David 0. Selznick provided a " new " way of selling pictures for quick playoff and strong returns when " Duel in the Sun " was sold on multiple runs whereby neighbourhood and downtown houses played it simultaneously at the same advanced admissions. — William Specht.

The municipal government of Buenos Aires, on January 13. 1947, announced an ordinance requiring film distributors to pay a fee for censorship review of films by the Commission. A fee of £3 2S. 6d. is payable on films up to 15 minutes running time, £25 on films of 90 minutes or over. Customs : Import duties on exposed film are 15 pesos gold or 34.09 paper pesos* per kilogram, including the weight of the container. Duty on unexposed film is 3.20 paper pesos per kilogram. A sales tax of 1.25 per cent, of the value is charged on sales of film accessories, but home manufactured accessories are exempt. At the end of August, 1947, all foreign film remittances were frozen by the Government. Until then, U.S. companies had been drawing about 2,500,000 dollars a year in remittances. There are 10 studios operating in Argentina at present, five of which are independent. About 60 feature films were produced in Argentina during 1947. — H. H. Wollenberg.

The international dollar restriction resulted in an agreement with M.P.A. that remittances to the United States should be limited as from September r, to 70 per cent. The blocked funds to be held in Australia for 10 years. Home production was a disappoint- ment and there was a further box-office decline. The average long run in Sydney, for example, falling to around 35 weeks. British films which did magnificent business up to the last quarter of the year have fallen away with a few notable exceptions. Imports of British products show a consistent rise. 16 mm. entertainment was introduced in the out-bush townships. Government Film departments dealing with the Industry are Federal and State in operation. Chief of the former is the Commonwealth Film Censorship which deals with all imported films and locally produced films for export. The various states are considering legislation for the unification of censorship. New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania have each formed departments to control the building of new theatres. In New South Wales there is a 3-year ban on new theatres. The National Film Board produces educational and documentary films, distributes selected foreign subjects and collaborates with States in these subjects. 32 films were completed in 1946 at a cost of £60,000. Kinemas 1640, situated New South Wales 583, Victoria 347, Queensland 322, South Australia 169 Western Australia 93, Tasmania 46, There are 54 Training (Mobile) Kinemas and approxi- mately 50 16-mm. mobile shows. Principal Circuits : Hoyts Theatres (153 Kinemas) in which 20th Century Fox's National Theatres Corporation has a controlling interest is particularly strong (40) in Melbourne suburbs. Greater Union Theatres Pty., Ltd. (122) in which J. Arthur Rank has a 50 per cent, interest recently acquired 23 kinemas off Clifford circuit in South Australia. Waterman Bros, and Associate Companies 25 kinemas mostly in South Australia. M.G.M. Theatres, 8 theatres in key situations. Snider & Dean Theatres Pty., 25 kinemas in New South Wales. Far Nulton Theatres has 14 kinemas in Queensland. Gredfields Pictures Ltd., 22 kinemas in Western Australia. Robert McLeish Theatres, 7 kinemas in Victoria. Admission prices : is. 3d. (including 3d. tax) to 6s. 3d. (including is. 7d. tax). Entertainment tax is collected by Commonwealth Government and for the year ended June 30, was £5,137,805, of which it is estimated kinemas accounted for two-thirds. Feature films released to June 30, 1947 were 345, the lowest since 1942 /43. B.E.F. released 57 films, Columbia 60, G.B.D. 19, M-G-M. 42, Paramount 26, P.R.C. 8, R K O 30, Fox 26, U.A. 19, Universal 32 and Warners 26. In 1946,384 films were imported : — U.S.A. 319, U.K. 42 and 23 from elsewhere. Percentage of British imports has risen from 8 per cent, in 1943, to 10.9 per cent, in 1946. Seven films all from U.S.A. were rejected by the Censor. Censorship : Uniform Federal censorship registration, based on the Victorian model, is contemplated by all States. Classifications : A, or adults only — generally applied only to medical or propaganda films with strictly adult appeal ; suitable only for adults— usually given to horror films ; not suitable for general exhibition — recommended as suitable only for adult viewing, but leaving it to parents whether they allow their children to see it or not ; general exhibition — harmless for children ; N.E.N. — not to be exhibited before natives, sometimes used for films sent to the Pacific islands. Customs and other duties : Preference is shown in tariffs to British film imports ; but there is a duty of 8d. per foot on all U.S. imports. Duties on studio equipment from Great Britain are lighter than those from non-Empire lands. Camera, amplifier, microphone and mixer are subject only to 10 per cent, primage duty if imported from Britain. Sound gear from foreign countries meets a 20 per cent, duty, 10 primage, plus 25 per cent, sales tax (sales tax applies also to British imports). Quota Restrictions : Law fixes the distri- butors' quota of Australian films at 3 per cent. The minimum proportion of Australian quota 564 The Kinematograph Year Book. films which an exhibitor shall screen is z\ per cent. Exhibitors' minimum quota of British films is 15 per cent. Production : No Australian-made film has been released this year. It has been a dis- appointing year for local production. Much was anticipated in 1946 when three films were released, but the boom failed to materialise, and although two subjects have been completed and another concluding, it is unlikely they will be released before well on in 1948. Ealing took a long time preparing " Eureka Stockade," which is now finally under way. Local produc- tion will inevitably suffer from the operation of the non-discrimination clause in Anglo-U.S. loan agreement. The Production of Documentaries is confined to the National Film Board. During the year ended June 30, 1947, the Board completed 32 documentary and educational films, at a cost of £60,000. One of these, " School in the Mail- Box " was screened for UNESCO. Seven of them are in 16-mm. colour. National Film Board also distributes selected foreign subjects and collaborates with the States in the distri- bution of these and its own films. — Frank O'Connell.

BRAZIL rPHE National Film Council of Brazil, formed in 1942, governs the operation of the film industry. Kinemas : There are 1,690 commercial kinemas, about 200 of which are closed for various reasons. The most important kinema circuits are Severiano Ribeiro, with 74 houses ; Vital Ramos de Castro, 15 ; Serrador, 41 ; Freixa, 5 ; and Andrade, 13. Following the price ceiling imposed on admissions by the municipal government, admission prices have been considerably reduced. The average admission price is estimated at about 2 cruezeiros (approx. 8d.), but as little as 0.5 cruzeiros is charged in some interior districts. The highest is 6.6 cruzeiros. There is an admission tax of 10 per cent, on all seats. In 1946, 366 films were exhibited ; 7 were Brazilian, and the remainder were divided as follows : U.S., 325 ; Argentine, 11 ; Austria, 1 ; France, 2 ; Italy, 1 ; Britain, 6 ; Mexico, 2 ; Portugal, 4 ; Russia, 4 ; Sweden, 2 ; and Switzerland, 1. Censorship : All films, including trailers, must be censored before being shown anywhere in Brazil. Censorship is carried out by the Divisao de Teatros e Cinemas (Division of Theatres and Kinemas), a sub-division of the Government Department known as D.I. P. (Departamento de Imprenso e Propaganda), which has its offices in Rio de Janeiro. There are no representatives of the Trade on this Board. Old films must be destroyed five years after the date of censorship, and although prints which have been in service for five years cannot be re-censored or exhibited, new copies of the same film can again be submitted for censorship and exhibited if passed. According to a decree published in March, 1944, film companies are subject to a 10 per cent, income tax on 30 per cent, of remittances paid abroad. This is in addition to an exchange tax and other miscellaneous taxes which distributors must pay. Although there are no quota laws, Brazil is considering restriction of film imports. This is primarily directed against the U.S., and it is expected that imports of American films will be limited to 200 features per annum. There are 4 major studios in Brazil, 3 at Rio de Janeiro (Cinedia, S.A. ; Sono Films and Brasil Vita Films) and 1 at Sao Paulo (Corn- panhia Americana de Films). Feature film production is very limited owing to poor equipment and is largely sustained by 568 The Kinematograph Year Book. the Government, not so much by subsidy as by regulations and controls. There is considerable activity, however, with regard to production of shorts, newsreels and propaganda films.

There are about 300 kinemas, but the current Two-Year Plan provides for the building of an additional 200. Two-thirds of the 300 theatres are owned by cultural organisations. Legis- lation (April 5, 1947) imposed the following taxes on gross receipts of these kinemas : the 30 theatres in Sofia, 34 per cent ; those in the nine principal provincial towns, 28 per cent. ; the remaining kinemas 10 per cent. Theatres owned by individual exhibitors pay the same taxes except in Sofia, where they pay an additional 13.2 per cent, municipal tax on their net receipts and various other taxes. Films made in Bulgaria with Bulgarian casts Overseas. 569 are exempt from taxation. Production is still in its infancy. Bulgarian and the Czech Film Monopolies signed an agreement in 1947 whereby between 30 and 40 Czech films will be distributed in Bulgaria annually. British imports during 1946 amounted to 18 features. — H. H. Wollenberg. CANADA TPHE film trade in Canada had a hectic year in 1947 because of government regulations, restrictive measures, a return of controls, construction difficulties, inflation trends and the dollar crisis. A condition of confusion prevailed in the closing stages of the year with the promulgation by the Federal Government of an austerity programme designed to preserve its currency position. The new situation was as bad as that which obtained in the full pace of hostilities. The Dominion Government, in November, placed film imports from all countries under a permit-control system with the promise of quotas for foreign products. A total ban was placed on the import of projection and sound equipment, air-conditioning apparatus, theatre lighting fitments and certain advertising accessories of paper as well as many articles in other lines of business. An Emergency Import Control Division was set up at Ottawa to restrict imports to save Canadian dollars and Rt. Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Reconstruction and Supply, was specifically authorised to control the flow of 35-mm. films, both negative and positive, into the country. As alternate relief, the film trade offered to pool facilities for the making of feature films, but suggested that the Dominion authorities approach the British Government to modify the 75 per cent, import duty, as it would apply to Canadian-made films, to insure financial success of local production. Conversations also took place regarding a freezing of a portion of net revenue from the rentals on Hollywood product in Canada, but there was no immediate action in this respect. >■ It was brought out that theatre construction, already prolonged because of scarcity of materials and labour, would be further delayed by the ban on imports of projection machines. Further problems were engendered in the Province of Ontario, with its 450 theatres, in the enforcement of blackout regulations early in November, which, it was authoritatively announced, would continue four or five years and the enactment of provisions for the classi- fying of features for adult or family patronage. The Province of Quebec introduced censorship of all 16-mm. films which had previously been free of restraint and prohibited the operation of automobile drive-in or open-air theatres, of which five were established in Ontario. Within trade circles an outstanding legal dispute arose when Empire-Universal-Films, controlled by Paul L. Nathanson, former president of Odeon Theatres of Canada, entered suit at Toronto against J. Arthur Rank and his company interests in Canada and the United States over distribution rights on pictures produced in Hollywood. The courts at Toronto were engaged in extensive preliminary phases of the action over a period of months but the main issue had yet to be reached. There was some questioning regarding the introduction of film roadshows at sharply advanced prices at regular kinemas, but the public appeared to be taking the matter into its own hands by staying away from such engagements which were short-lived in some instances. Canadian theatres were also organising to demand the abolishment of the Federal Government's 20 per cent, war excise tax on all grosses, which is in addition to Provincial ticket taxation, on the ground that the levy was now obsolete. The showdown was expected early in 1948. The year in Canada was marked by the second visit in Toronto of J. Arthur Rank for a series of conferences with his Canadian company officials and by the lengthy stay in England during the summer of Hon. J. Earl Tawson, K.C., president of Canadian Odeon and affiliated companies. During President Lawson's visit in London, the Canadian circuit suffered a serious blow in the accidental death of its chief architect, Jay I. English, while in the midst of the expansion programme and, subsequently, Leslie Kemp, the British architect, was loaned by Rank's Organisation in England. Canadian Odeon made fair headway with its projects in the opening of the Faislawn in Toronto, the Cremazie in Montreal and the Odeon in Guelph. Holdover engagements continued to be numerous, chief of which were the eleven weeks' run of "The Jolson Story" at two Famous Players' theatres in Toronto ; the eight weeks of'" Best Years of Our Lives " at the Toronto Fairlawn and nine weeks of the British picture, " Quiet Weekend," at the smaller International in Toronto. On the whole British features gained considerable popularity during the year in the Dominion. Kinemas : 1,477 (official total at end of 1946) ; no 16-mm. theatres or mobile kinemas are listed. Gross takings $74,817,762, of which $15,024,547 represented amusement taxation. Paid admissions 227,425,905. Admission pries range: 15 cents to 1.25 dols. Feature films shown : 550. There were no home-produced features in 1947. Imported features were divided as follows : U.S.A. 89 per cent. ; Great Britain 7 per cent. ; 4 per cent, from Russia, Italy, Sweden, Switzer- land, France, Finland, Mexico and Czecho- slovakia. Censorship : All by Provincial boards in eight of nine Provinces and regulations vary. Imported films quota : Permit control was established by Canadian Government in November, but quota arrangements were not immediately announced. Exchange regulations : All film distributors come under annual licence in the respective Provinces and all film buildings must conform with rigid structural requirements. Legislation and regulations in 1947 : Ontario, grading of features for adult patronage, and blackout regulations prohibiting display and decorative lighting to save power. Quebec, censorship of all 16-mm. films was introduced and drive-in theatres banned. Operating studios : seven. Production of 35-mm. short subjects : approximately 200. — H. Gladish.

CHILE THE Direction General de Informacion y Cultura (General Bureau of Information and Culture), is the Government Department dealing with the him industry. Kinemas : There are 312 theatres in Chile, but only 300 were operating in 1947. The largest of the circuits are the Organizacion Teatral Cinem?tografica Martinez y Cia. (60 bouses), Cines Unidos (5), Cia. Nacional de Teatros (16) Organizacion Teatral Chilena (7), Cia. Chilena de Espsctaculos (6), Pairoa (5), and Empresa Rojas Barbieri (3). Censorship : The Board of Film Censors, a department of the General Bureau of Information and Culture, is responsible for censorship. A decree published in July, 1946, authorises the Director General of Information and Culture to p;rmit representatives of moral or religious organisations to be present during the censor- ship of films. Once a film has been passed by the Board, it cannot be banned or suspended by any local authorities. Censored films fall into three categories : ( 1 ) f or adults and children ; (2) for adults only ; (3) for adults but not recommended for young ladies. Quota : In Its Budget of Exchange for 1947, the Chilean Government approved the sum of 1,000,000 dollars for the import of foreign films, but it is expected that this quota will be reduced to 8 >o,o 30 dollars. Production : The only modern studios in the country are those of Chile Films, controlled by the Fomento Corporation. Nine full length features were made during 1946. During the first quirter of 1947 only 3 full length features were produced. A new newsreel under the name of " Sinopsis del Tiempo " appeared during the year, and it is partly financed by the subjects appearing in its weekly edition. — H. H. WOLLENBERG.

CHINA l\/f 05T of the 300 kinemas in China are directly or indirectly controlled by the Chinese Film Corporation which also dominates production and, through the Central Cine Service, dis- tribution. Ten kineinas, however, are foreign owned. Estimated annual admissions : 100,000,000. 572 The Kinematograph Year Book. Approximate perc^htages of films exhibited in relation to the countries of origin are : China 20 per cent. ; U.S.A. 75 per cent. ; U.K 2 — 3 per cent. ; U.S.S.R. 1 — 2 per cent. Film imports are governed by a quota system which permits companies to bring in almost as many feature films as before the war but only two copies of each. Production : There are 16 Chinese producing companies and six studios and four laboratories. About 100 films are produced annually. Education : There are 36 circuit groups of Ministry of Education which employ about 100 16mm. film projectors in use in the whole country but it is proposed to increase these to 6,000 projectors as soon as practicable. Produc- tion of educational films is also under consider- ation. The Chinese Educational Film Institute has produced some 50 films and is planning to extend production. The United States is loaning 300 educational films. CZECHOSLOVAKIA T>Y the law of August 28, 1945, the whole industry was nationalised. It is controlled by the Film Department of the Ministry of Information. The trade unions have a direct share in the managements of the nationalised industry which are incorporated in the Czecho- slovak Motion Picture Company. Slovakia acts independently in many matters of distribution and censorship. Kinemas : 1,842 (35mm.) ; 655 (16mm.) ; 12 mobile. Annual admissions (1946) : 110,000,000. Home Feature Productions (1946) : 12 (1947) 25. Educational films are dealt with by the Czech Cinematograph Society which has produced five films since the liberation. In 1948, 15 school films are planned on silent 16mm. Foreign films exhibited: total 515 features, 340 shorts. Percentage of features shown : U.S.S.R. 23; U.K. 19; U.S.A. 18; France 11 ; Sweden 3. Studios : Barrandov (seven stages) ; Hostivar (four stages) and Zlin (one stage). There are six laboratories including one 1 6mm. laboratory at Zlin. DENMARK MINISTRY OF JUSTICE, Christiansborg, Copenhagen, controls the film industry. Number of kinemas : 35 mm., 430. There are three mobile kinemas. There are no com- mercial 16-mm. kinemas. All circuits are forbidden by law. Admission prices range from Danish kr. 1.75 (about 2s.) to Danish kr. 4.50 (approx. 5s.). Admission tax : 65 per cent, on basic admis- sion price. Feature films shown total 277 (September 1, 1946, to August 31, 1947). Number of Danish-produced films : 10 (during same period). Number of imported films : American, 181 ; British, 41 ; French, 19 ; Swedish, 15 ; Russian, 5 ; Norwegian, 2 ; one each from Italy, Fin- land, Belgium and Hungary. Censorship regulations : Approval of all films must be obtained from the State's Censorship Board, appointed by the Ministry of Justice. There are three classifications : ■ White seal (banned), red seal (general audiences), yellow seal (adults only). All posters and stills used for advertising purposes visible from a public thoroughfare must also be approved. Customs and other duties : A customs duty of 10 per cent, is paid on purchasing price. There is also a fee for censorship. Since October 1, 1947, all foreign films must be imported on a flat rate basis (as against percentage basis hitherto employed by major importers). Individual quotas are based upon some unexplained system unknown to trade and not accepted by American local offices, for which reason their quotas for first five months have been divided among the other companies. This system will probably be revised in Spring of 1948. Number of studios operating : Four. Documentary and educational production are mainly in the hands of the government film committee and Danske Kultur Film and private bod.es.

EAST AFRICA TT is difficult to assess the total number of ■■■ static and mobile kinemas in the vast areas of Central Africa. In each of the main centres there are modern theatres catering primarily for European audiences and also for Indian patrons, and there are a number of mobile outfits for the native population. These latter are chiefly 16 mm. Nairobi, Kenya's largest centre, has four European kinemas and two Indian. Other important centres in East Africa well catered for are Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Tanga, Zanzibar, Kisumu, Eldoret, Jinja, Kampala, and Nakuru. Distribution is controlled mainly by African Consolidated Films of Johannesburg, but offices in Nairobi are also maintained by 20th Century Fox, United Artists and M-G-M. Modest but complete production facilities with standard and 16 mm. are offered in Nairobi bv East African Sound Studios consisting of a small Sound stage (25,000 eft.) with sound on film and sound on disc recording with Bell and Howell and Newman Sinclair, and, for 16 mm. Cine Kodak cameras. The production schedule includes second features and travel documentaries on East and Central African subjects, entertainment films in Swahili and other vernaculars for the African population, local newsreel, etc. COLTMAN DISPLAYS Ltd. for FRAMES AND SERVICE Fairfield Works, Hounslow, Middx.

Other classes are subject to 35 per cent., 40 per cent, and 45 per cent, taxation ; in the latter class are show plays and Wild West subjects. Finish production amounted to 15 films, but are suitable only for local consumption ; indeed Finnish Film Critics Association has refused to make during the past two years its " Oscar " award owing to the poor quality of the product. Finlandia KUVA produce a newsreel. Every film is subject to Board of Censorship (Yaltion Elokuvatarkastamo). 15 films (n U.S.A. and 4 British) were barred in 1947, although all Russian subjects were passed without cuts. 16 mm. outfits are used only for educational purposes. British films are represented, Eagle-Lion by Parvis Filmi O.Y. and Alexander Korda by Suomi Filmi OY. M-G-M, Paramount, RKO and Warners, have their own offices in Helsinki. — SVEN G. WlN'OUIST.

FRANCE f"\X January 1, 1947, the Centre Xational " de la Cinema tographie Francaise came into being as a central authority dealing with all film matters and took over the functions exercised hitherto by the Direction Generate du Cinema (attached to the Ministry of Information) and the Office Professionnel du Cinema concerned with the actual administration of the trade. The Director General of this newly created Centre, M. Michel Fourre-Cormeray, is responsible directly to the Presidence du Conseil (the Prime Minister's Office). Five Divisions are appointed to deal with the following matters : (r) Production and Technical Services ; (2) Foreign Service ; (3) Distribution and Exploita- 576 The Kinematograph Year Book. tion ; (4) General Administration ; (5) Social Problems. The Director General has the right to sit (or to be represented) on the Censorship Commission, which is presided over by a high- ranking civil servant and includes delegates from seven of the National Ministries and seven representatives of various branches of the film industry, exhibitors and critics. In his statement of policy M. Fourre-Cormeray has announced the adoption of the principle that the Censorship Commission can impose a. ban only if it is voted unanimously by secret ballot and confirmed by a second ballot taking place a fortnight later. No essential changes occurred in the set-up of the different unions and syndicates repre- senting respectively film-technicians, producers, exhibitors and renters. Taxes: "Tax de Luxe", 3.5 per cent for weekly takings under 50,000 francs and 12 per cent for takings exceeding this sum ; Entertainment tax from 2 to 20 per cent ; Stamp Duty 2 per cent ; Contract Tax 1 per cent ; Local Tax, approx. 1.5 per cent (varying according to locality). Admission Prices : In 1946 these ranged from 15 to 120 francs, but were later subject twice to the general 5 per cent price reduction, imposed by the Government in January and in September, 1947. The new scale in force since November 1 fixes the minimum price at 20 francs (approx. iod.) and the maximum at 150 francs (approx. 6s). Quota Regulations : Continue in force, according to which 4 weeks in 13 must be devoted to home-produced films. There are, however, no restrictions on import of foreign films apart from the obligation to obtain an import licence and a visa of Censorship. Customs Duty : This amounts to 20 per cent on the declared value of each positive copy. As the latter is calculated to be 5 francs per metric the basic duty payable on every 1,000 metres amounts to 1,000 francs. Additional charges bring this sum up to between 1,072 francs (for registered firms) and 1,752 francs (for others). These scales will probably be revised as a result of the international agreement signed recently in Geneva. Currency Restrictions : Transfer of money from France to other countries is only permitted with the authorisation of the " Office des Changes ". In April, 1947, A. D. Perry, formerly of the British Information Service, established himself in Paris (27, rue de la Rochefoucauld) as a representative of British film producers. Edward Scott is in charge of the Film Division of the British Embassy in Paris. The French film industry is represented in London by Jean Huet, in charge of the French Film Delegation (29, Queen Anne Street, London, W.i.), a branch of the " Centre National de la Cinematographie ". Production : Costs are twelve times higher than in 1939. The average cost of a film is in the region of 25 million francs. The producer's share in the total takings did not on the average — after the deduction of taxes — exceed 18 per cent. In view of the crisis the Council of the Republic in September, 1947, reduced the maximum amount of the credit granted to the film industry by the "Credit National" from 800 to 50b million francs. On the other hand, within the French reconstruction plan, called "Plan Monnet", the film industry has been given a top-ranking place. The Commission de Modernisation du Cinema has been formed to step up both the construction of new studios and the output of raw film, with the object of producing 150 films per year in 1950. While the building of the extremely modern "Cinema-City" at Mougins (near Nice) is proceeding, the studio space of the existing 14 studios has been increased by extensions built at Joinville and Boulogne-sur-Seine, and by the construction of a new studio at Colombes. The first - French colour-firm (" Le Mariage de Ramuntcho ") was made this year in the "Studio de la Victorine " (Cote d'Azur), using the "Agfacolor " process. The official estimate of films produced in France is given as 85. The Government programme for short educational pictures (of which 28 have been produced since 1943) included the production of 40 subjects in 1947. This was not achieved as the production cost estimated in the budget year 1945-46 at 500,000 francs per film had in the meantime risen to 800,000 francs. Private companies producing short films had in 1947 approximately 60 subjects in preparation. The first French company formed for colour-cartoon film production was founded under the name ' ' Les Producteurs Francais des Dessins Animes ", with a capital of 3 million francs. Kinemas : 35 mm., 5,330 (plus 347 in French North Africa) ; 16 mm. static, 1,176 ; 3,556 sub-standard mobile. The latter are not subject to any restrictions, apart from the obligation to obtain a licence from the " Centre National de la Cinematographie Francaise". Export : The number of copies of films exported during the year is officially estimated at 10,000. A new Distribution Centre has been opened in New York under the firm A. F. Film Inc. Import: During 'the period October 1, 1946- September 31, 1947 the total of 295 feature films were shown in Paris. These included : 87 French ; 162 American ; 15 British ; 14 Italian ; 5 Swedish ; 4 Belgian ; 4 Russian ; 2 Danish ; 1 Mexican ; 1 Czechoslovak. — Francis Koval.

In the British and U.S. zones these powers are vested in the Film Section, I.S.C. Branch with the sponsorship of legislation, censorship, and the over-all activities of the industry. Basic idea is to establish an independent, democratic and decentralised industry excluding all monopolies whether German or foreign, and to separate the functions of production, dis- tribution and exhibition, and to permit no combination of even two of these functions within one and the same firm. Number of kinemas is 3,200, about three- quarters of the pre-war total. They are situated as follows : Russian zone 1,000 ; British 1,050 ; U.S. 750 ; France 400. There are no circuits. Admission Prices range from M.r (6d.) to M.6, which include a heavy entertainment tax levied municipally. There are few mobile kinemas but a number of 16-mm. outfits are serving educational establishments, but there is a shortage of sub- standard equipment. Censorship of German product is chiefly con- cerned with the elimination of Nazi ideology ; as most items were escapist there was sufficient feature product to keep kinemas open after the surrender. Well over 90 per cent, of the available cultural films were found to be suitable for circulation. Distribution : Until October distribution was directly controlled by the various occupying powers. In the British zone this was effected through Atlas Film, G.m.b.H. With the economic fusions between British and U.S. zones, a reversion was made to commercial distribution on a reciprocal basis between zones w.th licences being granted to 20 firms. Eagle- Lion and the Motion Picture Export Association of America are responsible for distribution in the respective zones. Exchanges have been extab- lished by the former at Hamburg, Berlin and Dusseldorf. During 1947 the following films were shown: British 30 ; U.S.A. 30 ; French 20 ; Russian 60. Production in the Western zone is in the hands of industrial German firms licensed by the control commission concerned. In the Russian zone production is exclusively vested in Defa (Deutsche Film A.G.) which is financed by municipal funds. Western zone productions in 1947 numbered 10, and those of .the Russian zone 12. 1948 productions double that figure. Studio facilities which formely existed solely at Berlin -and Munich will shortly be sub- stantially increased. The former UFA and AFA studios at Babelsburg and the Jufa studios at Johannistal are at the disposal of Defa in the Russian zone. There are also the UFA studios at Tempelhof and the Geisegasteig studios at Munich. These latter have been considerably extended while a new studio is to be built near Hamburg, and another one in the French Sector of Berlin, as well as one at Remagen on the Rhine. There are laboratories at Berlin (Afifa), at Vlothow (British zone), and at Geiselgasteig, near Munich. Agfa raw stock is produced at Wolfen in the Russian zone, and the emulsion by former Agfa subsidiaries near Frankfurt and Munich (U.S. zone). There have been difficulties of adequate interzonal supply, but these have now been more or less surmounted. Production of documentaries and educationals is proceeding in all zones on a small scale, though larger schemes are being entertained for the future. One newsreel is produced at Munich (under joint Anglo-American super- vision), and another in Berlin for Defa (Russian zone). — H. Fraenkel Directory DISTRIBUTORS. British Zone— Hamburg. Lloyd-Film.

Censorship and licensing are controlled by the Ministry of the Interior ; exports and imports by the Ministry of Commerce ; foreign exchange by the Foreign Trade Bureau ; film studios by the Ministry of Industry ; and educational and documentary production by the Ministry of Public Education. There are 550 theatres, but notwithstanding recent rebuilding, Hungary is still considerably under-seated. Biggest circuit comprises 270 kinemas and is controlled by MAFIRT, which is also the largest distributing house. Other circuits are also owned by political parties. Films distributed 1946/47 numbered 199, as follows : Hungary, 5 ; Russia, 38 ; Great Britain, 5 ; U.S.A., 108 ; France, 37 ; other countries, 6. Censorship : All films are subject to State Film Censorship and are judged on moral, religious and political standards. Fee : 60 florins per meter. Taxation : 52 per cent, on town kinemas, 47 per cent, in the country, and where Hungarian films are exhibited, 26 per cent. Customs duty on raw stock amounts to 400 florins per 100 kilog. There are two studios — Hunnia (6 stages) and the M.F.I. (1 stage) — occupied by the Radio Company. Production is beginning to be organised by the political parties. During the year, 40 documentary and short films were made. Educational subjects are made by the Ministry of Education.

INDIA AND PAKISTAN THE partition of India had severe reper- cussions on the prosperity of the Industry which reached its peak during the war years, and particularly in the period 1942 to 1945, when the total gross income touched the record figure of Rs. 12,82 lakhs. This figure has dropped since the partition to about Rs. 3,85 lakhs in India and Rs. 45 lakhs in Pakistan. Generally speaking it is anticipated that gross film income for the two Lominions will barely exceed Rs. 300 1 akhs for the next two years. India The Ministry of Industry and Supplies controls all matters relating to the Indian film Industry, with Home Affairs responsible for censorship and finance and Commerce for the import of foreign films. Kinemas : There are 1,384 35-mm. kinemas and about 300 mobile outfits. There are no 16-mm. static situations, but there are about 30 mobile set-ups. Main circuits are Western India Theatres, Ltd., Tardeo, Bombay, with 35 theatres, Deccan Theatres, Belgaum (12), Rajkamal, Ltd., Parel, Bombay (12), Associated Bombay Theatres (6). Admission prices : These range from As. 5 to Rs. 3 according to district, etc. Taxes are roughly about 10 per cent, in Assam, 20 per cent, in Sind and Bihar, 25 per cent, in Bombay, Bengal, the Central Provinces and Berar, 30 per cent, in the United Provinces and 30 to 35 per cent, in Madras. The 234 features shown in Bombay, Calcutta and Madras, included 100 home-produced subjects, 122 American and 12 British. During 1947, there were imported 187 American features, 16 serials and three with Hindustani narration, and 85 16-mm. features. During the same period 25 British and seven U.S.S.R. features were also imported. Film censorship is governed by the Cinemato graph Act of 1918, and is carried out by the 586 The Kinematograph Year Book. various provincial governments which generally delegates powers to Boards of Inspector. Distribution of U.S. and U.K. product is likely to become increasingly difficult owing to the replacement of English as the official language by Hindi or Hindustani and by various vernaculars. There is an increasing tendency towards a more stringent censorship on ideo- logical and moral lines, and importers would do well to study Indian susceptibilities before submitting films. Another difficulty, particularly in regards to 16-mm., is the illiteracy of the masses. Dubbing should be handled by Indian firms. Import Duty : As. 4 per linear foot payable at port of entry. In addition there is sometimes a municipal tax levied on weight, but this is nominal. Educational plans are subject to the tax which, however, is refunded if an educational certificate is subsequently granted. UNESCO and B.F.I, certificates are readily accepted. There are no quota regulations. Provincial governments have power to require the exhibi- tion for payment of a specified footage (not exceeding 2,000) in the public interest, but this power is rarely used. The trade is legally contesting the power of the Government in this direction. Remittances to the U.S.A. have been restricted to 66§ per cent, of the amount remitted in 1945/6. There is no restriction on sterling remittances to U.K. There are some 50 studios operating. In the 9 months ended September, 1947, 193 features were produced ; in the complete annual period nearly 300 are expected to be completed. Documentaries on National and cultural subjects are to be produced by Patel India, which purchased the Government's kine equipment and the right to produce an Indian newsreel. The Governments of India and the U.P. are also planning similar production. In the 16-mm. field the Government of Bombay is to spend Rs. 15 lakhs on visual education, mainly through the film. Import of 16 mm. raw film and equipment is dependent on the exchange position. Pakistan There are 177 static 3 5 -mm. kinemas in the country and practically no mobile equip- ments. Gross income from admittances is estimated at Rs. 45 lakhs. Admission prices : These range from As. 5 to Rs.3. In the Punjab and the North West Provinces, admission tax is 20 per cent. Immediate prospects of an improvement in the Pakistan film market are remote because Mohemmedanism is not favourably disposed to the film entertainment. In view of the small gross film production in Pakistan it can at the best be only precarious. Ultimately there may be a good market for American and British product. It is expected that American and British firms will have to establish independent offices and handle separate prints for distribution in Pakistan. There is need for foreign film producers to pay closer attention to religious and social susceptibilities of the country. — Ram L. Gogtay.

There is no production industry apart from 1 6mm films on a small scale for the Educational Film Office. MEXICO THE Direccion General de Supervision Cinematografica, a department of the Ministry of the Interior, is the Government authority responsible for all matters concerning the film industry in Mexico. Kinemas : 1,500. The most important kinema circuit is the Circuito Operadora de Teatros, S.A., with 30 houses. Others are Circuito del Xorte (38), Primer Circuito (n) and Fuera de Circuito (3). A large 70-house circuit is owned by William O, Jenkins, a former U.S. consul. Admission prices : First-run theatres in Mexico City charge about 4 pesos (approx. 55.), Admission prices for second-run theatres range from 0.80 to 1.50 pesos (approx. iod. and 2s. respectively). Kinemas in towns outside the Overseas. 591 Federal District charge from 0.20 to 1.50 pesos (approx. 3d. to 2s.). Percentages of films exhibited in Mexico are as follows : U.S. 80 per cent. ; Mexico 12.5 per cent. ; Argentina 5 per cent. ; French, British and other films 2.5 per cent. Censorship : This is controlled by the Ministry of the Interior, to whom films must be submitted before exhibition anywhere in the country. There are four classifications: "A" — suitable for adults, adolescents and children; "B" — suitable for adults and adolescents ; " C " — suitable for adults only; "D" — suitable for exhibition under special circumstances only. The latter must have a special authorisation for each showing. Import duty on films with Spanish dialogue is fixed at 8 pesos per kilogram (approx. 10s.), whereas that on films with English dialogue is fixed at 20 pesos per kilogram, (approx. £1 53..). Present quota legislation requires each kinema to reserve one third of its annual screen time for Mexican films. The only new legislation in the film industry announced during 1947 was a regulation of the Actors' Section of the Sindicato de la Produccion that no foreign actors will be allowed to work in Mexico unless they are under contract. Production : Mexico has 9 film studios, which provide facilities for 29 producing companies. The Credito Cinema tografico Mexi- cano (Mexican Film Bank) was formed with Government backing and with a capitalisation of about 15 million pounds sterling to strengthen Mexican production. It set a ceiling on produc- tion costs with a view to keeping down the rapidly rising expenditure. Guidance and supervision of production is entrusted to the National Film Commission, which was recently endorsed by the President of Mexico. TRADE ASSOCIATIONS.

Both are represented in the Junta Superior de Ordenacion Cinematografica (Superior Council for the Control of the Kinema), the president of which is the Director-General of the Kinema and Theatre. The Council is responsible for film censorship and for guidance to all branches of the industry. There are approximately 3,200 kinemas.

SWEDEN TV/TAIN government department dealing with J-^-*- the Trade is Staten & Biografybra (Presi- dent, Jan Gunnar Lindstrom) which deals with censorship. Number of kinemas (January 1, 1947), 2,462, owned by some 963 companies and individuals (434). Many kinemas are controlled by pro- ducer-renter companies such as Svensk Filmin- dustri, which controls 94 houses. Admission taxes are 10 per cent, up to one krona ; 30 per cent, on all others. A total of 265 films were shown during 1947; origin of which were U.S.A., 170 ; Sweden, 35 ; U.K.. 23 ; France, 19 ; Russia, 6 ; Denmark, 5. Imposition of a 50 per cent, cut in remittances to U.S.A. has barely affected the import of AmerLan products. Customs fees are 15.75 krona per kilo. Every film has to be submitted for censorship and classifications are White Seal (banned) ; Red Seal (general audiences) ; and Yellow Seal (adults only). Scenes inciting to brutality, suggesting dangerous excitement or encouraging, disrespect for the law are subject to censorship. Some 50 films were produced during 1947, but few were in the world market class. Among the latter are Svensk's " Kvinna Utan Ansikte " (" Woman Without Face ") and Europa's " Det Vackraste pa Jorden " ("The Most Beautiful on Earth "). Both Svensk and Europa possess special departments dealing with educational films. There are three big studios operating in Stockholm : Svensk Filmindustri, at Rasunda ; Europa Film Co., at Sundbyberg ; and the Centrum Studios, at Eastend (Stockholm). There are also some small studios owned by other producers. Sandrew-Bauman Film Co. is operating at Novilla, and Film AB Lux, in Stock- holm, is no longer an independent company, its productions being handled by Kungs Film Co. Other companies which have ceased to function are Askania Film, and Saffa Distribution AB. — Sven G. Winquist. Directory TRADE ORGANISATIONS Statens FiSmbyra (Board of Censorship.

SWITZERLAND THE Federal decree of July 7, 1939, granting distributors the right to import feature films to the same extent as were imported during the four-year period from January 1, 1935, to December 31, 1938, is the only Federal legisla- tion concerning the film. The establishment of new distributing firms is thus practically im- possible, as they would not be able to obtain a share in the quota. The Schweizer Filmkammer, Berne (Swiss Film Chamber), calls for a gradual decrease of imports through the application of the import regulations. The Swiss Film Chamber's official import figures for 1946, are as follows : U.S.A., 247 ; France, 73 ; Germany, 9 ; Italy, 19 ; Britain, 24 ; Sweden, 24 ; Russia, 12 ; other countries, 12. Import duties for all films, in 1946, totalled 129,000 S.Frs. Switzerland has 360 kinemas, according to the latest figures. These include 227 in the German, 108 in the French, and 25 in the Italian-speaking areas of the Federation. In addition, 6 mobile theatres operate in the German-speaking area. Film censorship and other legislation is the prerogative of cch of the 25 Cantons which form the Swiss Federation ; their rulings differ widely. The total of theatres in the German-and Italian-speaking areas are organised within the Schweizer Lichtspiel Theater Verband, Bahnhof- strasse 89, Zurich ; the theatres in the French- speaking area in the Association Cinemato- graphique Suisse Romande, with headquarters at 6, rue du Lion d'Or, Lausanne. The renters' organisation is Film-Verleiher Verband in der Schweiz, Marktgasse, 37, Berne. Only members of these organisations are permitted to distribute or exhibit films. There is also a special ruling by whi^h a sub-standard film can only be hired from a renter who owns the 35-mm. rights of the film. There is also a producers' association, Verb?nd Schweizerischer Film-Produzenten, Rennweg 59, Zurich ; its members ?re essentially concerned with the production of shorts. The two major studios are at Zurich and at Miinchenstein (Basle). TRADE ORGANISATIONS Verband Schweizerischer Filmproduzenten, Renn- weg 59, Zurich 1.

The most important kinema circuit is the Circuito Yenezolann de Cines with 25 houses. The Carcel y Muro circuit has 4 first-run houses in the capital. Admission prices : First-run theatres in Caracas, the capital, charge from 0.50 to 3.25 bolivars (approx. 3s. iod.) ; Second-run and other theatres in Caracas, 0.25 to 1.25 bolivars. In other big cities prices range from 0.25 to 2.50 bolivars. Censorship : A new Council was formed during the year to censor all films on moral and political grounds. Customs duties : These vary according to the value of the film and the duty is paid on the gross weight. Film material on which duty has to be paid is classified as follows : prints, photographic propaganda material and posters. So far no restrictions on foreign films have been imposed. Production : Venezuela Films, a new com- pany, began work in the studios of Atlas Films de Venezuela, the only major studio in the country. During 1947 one feature film was produced by Producciones Gilca, a unit of Venezuela Films. Otherwise production is limited to newsreels and documentaries only. The main producers in this field are Bolivar Films, with studios in Caracas, who began production during 1947. A programme for the showing of education films in schools was instituted by the Vene- zuelan Ministry of National Education some years ago, but owing to lack of funds this programme was never fully developed. The Government produced three educational films of good quality, but the studios in which they were made have since shut down and nothing further has been done in respect of educational films.

IF YOU WANT THAT UNBELIEVABLE HIGH QUALITY SO REALISTIC THAT IT CANNOT BE DISTINGUISHED FROM THE ORIGINAL EXCEPT BY AN EXPERT, WE SHALL BE PLEASED TO ADVISE YOU. For the technical here are the details of the amplifier used and we claim it is the finest in the world. The AD/47 10-valve Cathode follower Triode amplifier has a distortion figure of less than .01% at 10 watts output. The damping factor of 40 times reduces the tendency of howl from microphone and the electrical distortion of the speaker. This distortion figure includes Johnson noise and thus the amplifier is far more silent than a battery-fed model. Compensation networks are provided and even a badly-worn record can be reproduced with amazing results. The basic response is flat from 20-20,000 cps. over triple-screened input and output transformer. May we send you further details ? VORTEXION LTD. 257-261.
