A Momentous Year
THE heading to last year's introductory notes to the Kine-
m atograph Ye ar Book was ' ' A Year of Transition . ' ' Possibly
t here were optimists among us who thought that the transitional
p eriod from war to peace basis would be confined to that year.
How different the reality has been.
And, yet, in a year full of. complex problems, a year in which
threats to the national economy have impinged keenly upon our
industry, in which restrictions have hampered development and
shortages have impeded the progress of reconstruction, there have
been great accomplishments in all branches of the industry.
Very definitely, the year under. review has been one of mingled
struggle and achievement. Among those achievements, in the
international field, is the fact that Hollywood and the United States
have now plainly acknowledged the quality of British films.
Growing Prestige of British Films
In various ways the J. Arthur Rank organisation strengthened
and widened its American associations, and British films secured
considerable playing time in the States, culminating, as we go
to press, in the booking of " Great Expectations " to the Radio
City Music Hall.
In the home production field we have seen a steady output of
first-class pictures, and if the quantity has not been as great as we
could have desired, owing to lack of floor space, there has been no
doubt as to the quality.
Sir Alexander Korda has proceeded with his production plans
and has secured the services of many of the best brains in the
industry as the nucleus of -a first-rate production team. Sydney
Box has moved to take charge of the Gainsborough interests ; and
Maurice Ostrer, his predecessor, has laid the plans for an important
new independent producing concern.
In the theatre of exhibition much has been accomplished. The
C.E.A. Managers' Section was launched, and the end of the year saw
the drafting and ratification of the far-reaching Managers' Agree-
ment. Not long before this, the protracted negotiations between ;
the C.E.A. and N.A.T.K.E. came to fruition in the completion of a
new and important wages agreement.

8 The Kinematograph Year Book.
There has been very considerable development in the 16-mm.
field, particularly in the educational sphere. There could be no more
eloquent evidence of this development than the launching of the
Kine's companion journal Sub-Standard Film, the first issue of
which appeared as a supplement to the ordinary issue of the Kine,
May 23, and which thus led British technical journalism in this new
sphere.
These are achievements, indeed, in spite of the vicissitudes of a
year of national stress and stern economic pressure.
Such was the concern felt at the development of this ancillary
industry that it was officially announced in March that the proposals
for the amended Cinematograph Act, due for reshaping in 1948,
would have to be reviewed in the light of sub-standard developments.
Trade interest was evidenced by the formation of 16-mm. circuits
by such prominent exhibitors as the Bernsteins and E. J. Hinge.
Screen Time for Independent Product
In March, Sir Stafford Cripps made an important announce-
ment arising out of the Monopoly Report, in which he revealed that
the proposed tribunal was abandoned in favour of an independent
committee which would ensure a circuit booking for independent
productions of good quality. This announcement was welcomed by
most sections of the industry.
April saw the biggest film conference ever held in this country —
the J. Arthur Rank World Film Convention, which was attended by
delegates from all over Europe, the Dominions and the Colonies.
In July, almost all the executives of Universal and the other Rank
interests in the United States paid a visit to this country for
conferences.
The results of these two gatherings have been far-reaching, especi-
ally in America, where the setting-up of United World and the
Universal deal gave Rank pictures powerful selling and exhibition
tie-ups, and paved the way for the formation of Universal-Inter-
national, which absorbed United World and gave Rank a powerful
instrument for the marketing of British pictures in America, as well
as production interests.
Rank Merges Renting Interests
A further Rank development was the merging of Eagle-Lion, as
far as British operation was concerned, into G.F.D., thus creating
a single great renting house for the work of all the associated Rank
producing companies. Eagle-Lion remained, however, as a vehicle
for overseas penetration ; and it was announced that this group
A Momentous Year. 9
would arrange the showing of 30 British pictures in America during
1947, where the success of " Henry V " had raised the prestige of
British films to a height never before equalled.
Work in the studios has produced a remarkably wide range of
subjects, the great majority of which have had in common a
typically British quality in the same good sense that the out-
put of Hollywood has an over-all distinguishing quality of its own.
This British touch and an imaginative choice of subjects have
been outstanding signs of real progress. Films such as "A Matter
of Life and Death," " The Captive Heart," " The Overlanders,"
" Appointment With Crime," " Great Expectations " and " Quiet
Week-End " indicate the range of subject matter and the degree of
achievement.
It was in August that Sir Henry French joined the British Film
Producers' Association as director-general. This appointment not
only added prestige to the producers' group by giving them as a
co-ordinator an extremely able man who is also a public figure,
but it did much to allay criticisms of lack of balance within the
association.
On the labour front there was plenty of lively and sometimes
acrimonious activity during the year, but in spite of bitterness and
clashes some solidly constructive work was achieved.
The Managers' Charter
Early in the year, the C.E.A. instituted its managers' section,
as its own particular means of providing machinery for negotiation.
The body was set up not without opposition and criticism, principally
from the Cinema Managers' Association. Negotiations which ensued
were protracted and difficult, but resulted in the detailed and com-
prehensive Managers' Agreement which was concluded in the
Autumn. This was, in effect, a charter for managers and provides
a clear statement of working conditions with minimum guaranteed
rates of pay.
The campaigning of N.A.T.K.E. and the A.C.T. for the betterment
of technical and studio workers produced unfortunate results
culminating in the inter-union quarrel and the strike of laboratory
workers, which held up production in the studios and seriously
hampered the newsreel companies. The situation closely paralleled
the jurisdictional strikes that affected Hollywood so seriously both
in 1945 and 1946.
In spite of the bitter differences of opinion between them, both
unions did constructive work for their members during the year ;
and the C.E.A.-N.A.T.K.E. agreement, concluded in July and
ratified in September, will be remembered as the crowning achieve-
10 The Kinematograph Year Book.
ment of a period, of hard but cleanly fought negotiation between
the leading officials of the groups.
The laboratory strike aside, the results of labour campaigning
stand to the credit of all parties ; and certainly the organised labour
of the industry has every reason to remember the events of 1946
and to be grateful to the pertinacity of its leaders and the open-
mindedness of the C.E.A. negotiators.
In July, Hollywood paid a practical tribute to British films by
sending over here Joseph Breen, administrator of the production
code. The fact that part of his mission was to advise on the vetting
of British films for the American market was a tacit recognition by
Hollywood of its respect for British production.
In the same month a major deal was concluded between Associated
British and Warners whereby, it was announced, the American side
would lease studio equipment and stars to Elstree, and would also
guarantee the distribution of three A.B.P.C. films per year to 6,000
United States kinemas.
This, again, was evidence of American interest in British produc-
tion ; and this particular deal was criticised in some quarters as
tending to lead to American control of a group of British studios,
a theory later " scotched " very firmly by Sir Stafford Cripps.
Refraining the Films Act
The Autumn saw much discussion of proposals for the amendment
of the Films Act, and most sections of the industry began preparing
their recommendations for quota adjustments and other legislation.
It is too early at this stage to give any summary of the proposals
of the various groups, which may well be revised before they are
passed on to official circles, but the industry has shown that it is
alive to the vast importance of the reconsideration of the Act.
The Autumn, too, brought another notable event, the first Royal
Command Film Performance, for which " A Matter of Life and
Death " and a pageant of film history formed the programme at
the Empire, Leicester Square. In spite of some criticisms the
occasion was a brilliant one, and the Benevolent Fund benefited
by more than £25,000.
Again, the event was evidence of the growing prestige of the
British film industry, and on that note this review of a momentous
year may well conclude. It remains only to add that the year
closed with every section of the industry looking forward keenly to
the future, alive to the realisation that decisions taken during 1947
on recommendations for the reshaping Of the Act the following
year may well prove to be the most vital that this industry has ever
been called upon to make.

David O. Selznick
announces the formation of
%\\eu Releasing Organisation
The emergence of th^* Selznick companies as
a full-fledged and completely integrated group
of production, sales and exploitation units, is in
line with Mr. Selznick's long-range plans.
We are proud of the "TRADITION OF
QUALITY" of the Selznick*: trade mark. We
believe that its scupulous and undeviating refusal
to "water the milk" is unparalleled in the history
of the industry. And we pledge ourselves to
adopt and to adhere to the standards of the
Selznick producing units.
We believe that this way, and only this way,
can a new and independent distributing company
make an important contribution to the business.
SELZNICK RELEASING ORGANISATION

Selznick Releasing Orgamisatiom
SRO is now opening offices throughout the
world and will release all Selznick International
and Vanguard Pictures as well as the output of a
new producing unit in the process of formation.
Further details on this unit will be announced
later.
It has not yet been determined whether other
independent product will be distributed by
Selznick Releasing Organisation, but it's thought
likely that facilities will be Imade available for
pictures of quality and commercial importance
comparable with the Selznick output. It is known
that, ever since the possibility of the formation of
such a company became a matter of trade gossip,
several producers of importance approached
Mr. Selznick, looking for release through his
company, if and when it was formed.
"DUEL IN THE SUN" will be the first release
to be handled by SRO in Great Britain. Other
releases planned will, include: "THE PARADINE
CASE," directed by Hitchcock, and includes the
following cast : Gregory Peck, Charles Laughton,
Charles Coburn, Ethel Barrymore and Ann Todd;
"LITTLE WOMEN," with an all-star cast which
includes Lionel Barrymore, Charles Coburn, Diana
Lynn, and another new Selznick discovery, Bambi
Linn, who will play Beth; "PORTRAIT OF
JENNY," which will co-star Jennifer Jones and
Joseph Cotten; " SANDS OF TIME," co-starring
Cary Grant and Dorothy McGuire; and "JOAN
OF ARC," starring Jennifer Jones.
Watch for the announcement of other important

A revolutionary
constructional
material . . .
Dufay-Chromex research and production
during the past six years has resulted in new
and remarkable developments. One such dis-
covery which is of particular interest to
the Film Industry is "DUFAYLITE," a new
light-weight, high-strength material perfected
and produced by DUFAY-CHROMEX LIMITED.
Its ideal combination of strength and lightness
make it an admirable material in the construc-
tion of Film Studio sets. The obvious advantages
of this adaptation are manifold.

Studio Facts and Figures 183
Studio Facts and Figures
By P. G. Baker.
BRITISH studios made 49 major feature films during 1946, of which
two were made overseas. During the year, however, 96 new British
pictures were reviewed by the Kine. There were 43 re-issues. This
compares with 62 new and 42 re-issues of 1945. But these figures include
the " featurette " and " quickie " type of picture, so that 49 major pictures
made in 1946 shows, if anything, some improvement over past years.
The year 1947 — earmarked by most producers as one destined to see a rapid
increase in production output as new space becomes available — began with
these facilities : —
14 studios, 48 stages, 433,497 sq. ft. of stage space.
This was a considerable improvement on the position as reported in the
Kine's special " Studio Section " of June, 1946. Since that date, this space
has been added, including Worton Hall, Bushey, Islington and Cromwell
studios : —
4 studios, 7 stages, 41,542 sq. ft. of stage space.
This additional floor space is negligible when compared with space due to
come into use during this year. During 1947, the two vast plants at Elstree —
A.B.P.C. and M-G-M — are scheduled to open, together with studios at
Teddington, Wembley, Twickenham and Torquay. New space in 1947 will
be:—
6 studios, 14 stages, 189,747 sq. ft. of stage space.
By 1948 the total British Production facilities for feature work will thus
be :—
20 studios, 62 stages, 623,244 sq. ft. of stage space.
But this, according to plans announced towards the end of 1946, will not
see the end of the British production drive. Plans are scheduled to build
new stages and, given Government backing, within a few months of the
1947 work being completed, this additional space will become available : —
11 stages, 167,050 sq. ft. of stage space.
These figures include the Brighton studio project (80,000 sq. ft. of stage
space) and the plans to put up four additional stages at the A.B.P.C. Elstree
studio.
Even by 1948 or 1949 Britain's film production capacity will be a long
way behind Hollywood, as far as it concerns output quantity. Our total
capacity will be 790,294 sq. ft. of stage space. Hollywood to-day has about
2,406,000 sq. ft. of stage space — and may build more.
The last twelve months has seen its usual outbursts by the critics of
" monopoly in the production business." Facts prove that with every
week that passes any tendency by the Rank organisation to monopolise
feature production facilities is being diminished.
To-day J. Arthur Rank controls : —
5 studios, 24 stages, 248,429 sq. ft. of stage space.
184
The Kinematograph Year Book.
This figure includes Ealing studio, which, although not controlled by the
Rank organisation, releases most of its product through G.F.D. Sir Alexander
Korda now controls two studios, with nine stages and some 94,730 sq. ft. of
stage space. Together, all companies now in production, and which are not
connected with the Rank organisation, control : — ■
9 studios, 24 stages, 185,068 sq. ft. of stage space.
If the Rank production facilities are not increased the floor space at his
disposal will be approximately the same by the end of 1947. By this time,
however, all other producers will together control : —
15 studios, 38 stages, 374,815 sq. ft. of stage space.
Later still, according to plans, companies other than Rank controlled, will
have : —
17 studios, 49 stages, 541,865 sq. ft. of stage space.
Coupled with the monopoly issue has been a series of discussions on how
much of the British studio set up will be controlled by U.S. companies. This
is more difficult to estimate. By the end of 1947, however, it looks as though
American firms will be controlling — either directly or indirectly — 'this amount
of space : —
5 studios, 15 stages, 187,915 sq. ft. of stage space.
Of this space, about 112,868 sq. ft. will be suitable for major feature work.
This represents ten stages of three studios. Some space controlled by
British interests is not suitable for major feature work. By the end of
1947 the total capacity of all British studios, suitable only for major pro-
ductions, will be : — ■
9 studios, 42 stages, 505,368 sq. ft. of stage space.
Rate of Production Analysed
In reviewing the year's work it is impossible to pick out any one studio
or production group as having achieved most during the past twelve months.
One can only let the facts speak for themselves.
Rate-of-production figures can be very deceptive, but they give some
factual idea of how studios have been progress

Figures in brackets indicate number of complete films during the year. Facts
about stages and individual sizes can be seen on page 194.
There has, of course, been the same amount of discussion as in previous
years as to whether we should make high-budget prestige pictures or a series
of moderately priced pictures for the home market. The arguments have
produced some worthwhile comments. There is, for example, a genuine
alarm among some producers and directors at the way some major studios
let production schedules run on to a matter of 20 or 24 weeks.
Film makers — and particularly studio managements — have had no little
trouble with shortages of manpower and materials ; but they cannot be
accepted as the only excuse for over-long schedules. Average production
time by the end of the year was 16 or 17 weeks per picture. It would be

foolish to deny that picture making has to allow for " art "... but the film
business still has to remain within its own bounds of economic practicability.
One of the highlights of the year was the British Film Producers Associa-
tion's report to the Board of Trade on its proposals for the new Films Act.
The producers' policy was briefly : Stop the renter's quota which only
encourages " quickie " pictures ; include 16-mm. pictures ; that exhibitors'
quota should apply to both first and second features, shorts being able to
act as substitutes for second features ; that the Board of Trade should be able
to reduce exhibitor quotas in cases where an independent exhibitor cannot
meet circuit competition ; and that apart from provisions in the Act of 1938,
with reference to renters and exhibitors' quota, the whole of the Act should
be reproduced, subject to minor modifications, in the new Bill. The B.F.P.A.
made a particular plea in its report for Sir Stafford Cripps to take very strong
measures to " de- Americanise " the British production industry.
Should these suggestions become law, they will in particular give wider
scope to the British short and documentary. During the war years short
film makers distinguished themselves ; but with the cessation of hostilities
many companies at first found themselves at a loss for jobs. But the change
from wartime work to peacetime work has been rapid. Units have found
ready support from large industries wanting their stories put on the screen,
from national advertisers who want to buy screen space to sell their product,
from the British Council and Government departments which still need certain
training films and films for public instruction. The new deal suggested by
the B.F.P.A. would open a wider field for the commercial short. Many new
companies have been formed by ex-Servicemen and an outlet will have to be
found for their product.
Studio Rebuilding Progress
It is the business of rebuilding which has occupied much of the time of
executives during the last twelve months. At the time of writing there is
promise of considerable progress being achieved by late 1947 and early 1948.
The large Amalgamated (now the M-G-M- British Studios) plant at Elstree,
used during the war years for aircraft manufacture has been put back into
production order. The roof of each sound stage was lifted to give additional
height and the most up-to-date equipment has been installed.
The Warner Teddington studio, destroyed by a flying bomb has been put
into production order. The two stages have been rebuilt, the lot cleared
to make room for a third stage (to be put up at a later date), the power house

and administrative blocks put in order. By early 1947 it was expected that
the studio would be open for production by May.
The large plant controlled by A.B.P.C. at Elstree, out of action during the
war years, is virtually being rebuilt. The studio, one of the oldest in the
country and one with a proud record of achievement, will eventually have
eight large stages.
The initial term of reconstruction will provide four stages from the existing
buildings, together with an up-to-date recording theatre and service buildings.
The office block has been moved to the front of the site and the existing stages
are being lengthened and the roofs heightened.
The M-G-M-British studios at Elstree are set for production in the summer
of 1947. This modern studio has never been used for film making. Before
it could start up the war came, and the large stages were taken over for
aircraft production. Since its derequisitioning, the stages have been repaired,
heightened by some 15 feet, and the studio equipped with the latest types
of production gear.
Other studios have restarted, or will start up production this year —
Worton Hall, Twickenham, Southall. Next year, 1948, should see a marked
rise in the output of British pictures probably as much as 30 per cent. This
is a good thing, coming at a time when the nation needs more and more
home made pictures. The prospects for 1948 are good.
B.F.P.A. Policy Outlined
During the year the B.F.P.A. appointed a director-general, Sir Henry
French. Sir Henry, taking office at a critical time in the history of British
films, made these remarks in an article on the Association's policy which
appeared exclusively in the studio pages of the Kinematograph Weekly.
Sir Henry wrote :
" I can see no grounds on which anybody can reasonably object to
foreign companies making films in this country which are in themselves
good films : but I see the strongest objection to films being made here
in our studios by any company — British or American — which are designed
merely to satisfy a legal requirement. In fact, it is a healthy thing that
films should be made in this country by people who have had extensive
film-making experience in the U.S. or elsewhere. After all, the only
test imposed by the public on any film is that it should be entertaining.
" One of the major problems which stands before British producers
to-day is this question of the Quota Act. There are some people who
argue that the British industry should now be in a position to stand on
its own feet without the aid of protective legislation, and others who
seek to enlarge the restrictions in the Quota Act when it comes up for
renewal next year.
" It is too early yet for me to make any detailed statement concerning
the attitude of the British Film Producers' Association to this matter,
but I will say this : No responsible persons want to exclude Hollywood
pictures from this country. It is a good thing for kinema-goers to have a
variety of British, U.S., or any other foreign product from which to
choose their own entertainment and we see no reason why this should not
continue.
" We believe that the situation is different from 1938. Many films
produced by British firms now in circulation are comparable with the best
products that Hollywood can turn out. We are anxious that high
quality British products should be given a fair chance of being shown on
the screens of our own country. Protective legislation is essential for this
Studio Facts and Figures 187
industry and will continue to be essential for some time. What would
have happened if the war had not come, I cannot say ; but should Parlia-
ment decide to do nothing to replace the Act of 1938 then the splendid
promise of this industry will inevitably be dimmed.
" Protection for British films is one thing — their production is another
We cannot expect to turn out a larger number of pictures of high quality
from our studios than we are to-day until many studios, now out of
action because of the war, and also the new studios which have been
planned have been built or converted and equipped and staffed with
craftsmen, technicians and artists."
Important Labour Agreements
On the labour front the year saw a number of important agreements
negotiated between the British Film Producers Association and the three major
studio unions. After a long period of tentative discussion the first stages were
started in the negotiation of an all-industry apprenticeship scheme.
Employment in the studios was being brought to a crisis by the absence
of any organised form of new recruitment, while on the other hand, unions
were anxious to safeguard their members, many of whom were due to return
from the Services to film production.
George Elvin, general secretary of A.C.T., put the union's case like this :
" The first point about any scheme is that it must be on an all-industry
level, the one scheme covering feature and shorts production, newsreels
and laboratories. The industry does not, and must not operate in small
watertight compartments. To be at the top of one's class in any one section
a technician must have knowledge and experience of all the others.
" For example, in the old days a cameraman had to start off with a
period in the laboratories, the film director had worked in the cutting-
rooms and through the floor grades. We should return to such all-round
training. .
" Some of the points put forward in A.C.T.'s proposals are : —
" (1) The establishment of a Joint Apprenticeship Council representa-
tive of the appropriate trades unions, all the employers' federa-
tions and the Ministries of Labour and Education :
" (2) An apprenticeship scheme must include :
" (a) An adequate theoretical training.
" (b) A full acquaintance with the process of film production.
" (c) The opportunity of becoming accomplished in a particular
skill.
" (3) Training shall include a specified amount of theoretical training,
together with practical experience, at first all round, then followed
by applied training in the department in which the apprentice is
best fitted to specialise.
" (4) The number of apprentices must be related to the demands of
the industry.
" Naturally A.C.T.'s proposals enlarge upon these principles and deal
with all the other points which must be the concern of a workable scheme.
We are not rigidly putting forward our proposals as the only formula,
but they were drawn up after very careful thought, including a study
of schemes in other industries. If something better materialises as a
result of the discussions which have now started we shall be only too
happy to accept them.
'" What must happen is that adequate proposals shall emerge and start
188 The Kinematograph Year Book.
operating almost at once in order that the expansion and development
of our industry to which we are all looking forward does not fall down
because of the lack of manpower to fulfil all our requirements."
Important Technical Developments
Two things headed the list of technical developments during 1946 . . . the
high-pressure mercury vapour lamp and the possibilities of the commercial
use of Agfacolor. This is how Kine technical expert R. Howard Cricks
reviewed the progress on the mercury lamp :
" The serious objections to previous types of mercury lamps seem
to have been almost entirely overcome ; 1\ k\V., 5 kW., and 10 kW.
lamps have already undergone exhaustive tests.
" The first discharge lamps of modern type to be made were the
400-Watt tubular mercury lamps and the 140-Watt sodium lamp, both
used extensively for street lighting. The former differed from the old
Cooper-Hewitt tubes chiefly in working at a gas pressure of about one
atmosphere, instead of a comparatively low pressure ; a very hard glass,
harder than Pyrex, had to be invented to withstand the temperature ;
efficiency was much increased, to about 45 lumens per Watt.
" The lamp consists of a tube containing the mercury — very
precisely measured in filling — and the electrodes, both coated with
emitting material to facilitate striking ; this inner tube is enclosed within
an evacuated outer tube, the vacuum serving to keep up the temperature
of the inner tube. Attempts were made to construct similar lamps in
smaller sizes ; but it was found that as the Wattage was reduced so the
efficiency went down almost pro rata, until the lamp showed little
advantage over the tungsten filament lamp. Investigation proved that
efficiency was fixed by the Watts (not amperes) dissipated per centi-
metre length of discharge — in other words, a reduction in arc length
raised the efficiency only provided the voltage was kept constant. In
order to raise the electrical resistance and so permit of the voltage
remaining constant, it was necessary to increase the gas pressure in the
discharge ; this at the same time increased the working temperature.
" Unfortunately, the limit of working temperature of the glass bulb
seemed to have been already reached with lamps of the former types.
If further progress was to be made, it was essential to find a material
that would withstand considerably higher temperatures. Such a
material is, of course, quartz, which has a melting point of about 2,000
deg. C, and will thus withstand far higher temperatures than glass ;
on the other hand, by reason of its refractory nature it is exceedingly
difficult to work. However, researches were conducted, and the first
result was the 125-Watt discharge lamp, which is already familiar.
Later a similar lamp was made in the 80- Watt size.
" From here there were two lines of progress. In the one direction
the small tube of the last-mentioned type of lamp could be made still
smaller, and caused to work at a still higher pressure (up to 100 atmo-
spheres), producing the capillary type of lamp — an exceedingly efficient
light source, but one which has three main defects : that it needs a high
voltage, that it needs water cooling, and the shape of the source is not
suitable for many optical systems. The second line of development,
and the one upon which G.E.C. has concentrated, is the so-called compact
source lamp, in which the discharge takes an almost spherical form
between two tungsten electrodes. As with former types, one or both
of the electrodes is coated with an emitting material to assist in striking
and the electrodes, together with a tiny drop of mercury — measured
in milligrammes — are contained in a quartz bulb, made spherical so as

to have the maximum strength. In the smaller sizes this is again
contained in an evacuated glass bulb, but in the larger sizes this is not
necessary.
" There remained one point vital for the applications of the lamp
in our Industry ; the colour of the light. A discharge lamp, unlike a
filament or arc lamp, has, of course, a line spectrum and the principal
o o
mercury lines in the visible spectrum are at 4047A in the violet, 4358A
o o o
in the blue, 5461A in the green, 5770A and 5791A in the yellow ; there
is a marked shortage of red. Other materials — neon, cadmium and
zinc — are, of course, capable of producing red rays, but owing to the
difference in ionisation voltage for neon and vapour pressure for cadmium
and zinc it had been found that it was not possible to cause such
materials to contribute much, if any, to the light output when mixed
with mercury under low or medium pressure conditions.
" However, as the working pressure increased so it was found that
the red lines of added cadmium or zinc became more and more prominent.
The result is shown in the spectograms reproduced and can be even more
clearly seen in examining the light through a spectroscope. The red
lines of cadmium and zinc are not quite identical, but either is sufficiently
strong to compensate for the excess yellow green of the mercury. Ex-
amining samples of coloured materials under the various lights, one can
see that plain mercury completely degrades the red but enhances yellows.
Neither mercury-zinc nor mercury-cadmium reproduces yellow par-
ticularly well, while the former tends to turn blue into a. violet tint ;
either reproduces red quite satisfactorily."
Agfacolor Processing Problems
Cricks also reviewed the progress in the use of the German Agfacolor
system. He said this : — ■
" The great value of the process commercially is that, as was
demonstrated in Germany, it can be handled by any suitably equipped
laboratory. But a word of warning is called for ; while some of the
films we have seen have been of really outstanding quality, others have
been quite unacceptable, showing muddy and degraded colours. The
difference is, I am assured, the result of processing in different laboratories;
it demonstrates that the difference from lab. to lab. is enormously greater
than is conceivable with black-and-white.
" The stock is similar to Kodachrome in being of the ' integral
tripack ' type. In both systems the base carried five layers ; the
difference is in the constitution of these layers. In the case of Koda-
chrome, the colour-forming materials are all contained in the baths, and
differently coloured layers are produced by differential processing . . .
" Consideration of these processes will demonstrate that, while on
the negative side the Agfa process has undeniable advantages over the
Technicolor three-film process (and even it may be over Monopak) on
the positive side, whatever may be the results obtained, it will inevitably
be much more costly. The stock itself will cost nearly as much as
negative, whereas the Technicolor stock costs no more than black-and-white
(were it not for the need of a silver sound track it could be cheapened still
further by being of plain celluloid, since the grey key image is not now
regarded as necessary). The actual time of processing is probably little
different, but, on the other hand, while the Technicolor process is
(mechanical difficulties apart) a straightforward gravure operation, the
Agfacolor processing necessitates precisely controlled chemical operations,
so delicate that ordinary photographic chemicals are not sufficiently
pure, and specially purified chemicals have to be used. The temperature
of the baths has to be maintained to within ± £ deg. F.
Studio Facts and Figures 191
" Another factor is the large quantity of these chemicals required.
Development needs a rate of flow of the specially concentrated boost of
about one gallon per 1,000 ft., and about one-quarter of that quantity
is needed for negative bleaching, while the quantity and viscosity of the
positive bleach must be very closely controlled. Examination of the
processes will show that it is perfectly possible for them to be carried
out in a normal laboratory, whose printers have the necessary filter
array, whose processing machines are equipped with the additional
baths and temperature controls and, in the case of positive, the bleach-
spreading roller mechanism. This appears to be the sole advantage
possessed by the positive side of the process over Technicolor."
Effect of the Fuel Crisis
The whole technical side of film making was thrown out of gear early
in 1947 by the nation wide fuel crisis. The cut-off came as an anti-climax
to the sterling work done during 1946 both in improving quality and to a
lesser extent, the quantity of British pictures.
The immediate crisis was overcome and except for temporary shut
downs at Welwyn (A.B.P.C), Shepherd's Bush (Gainsborough) and Merton
Park, film making went ahead with the use of mobile generators. But the
effect of the fuel shortage is — at the time of writing — expected to be felt
for some months to come.
The initial crisis was a major blow to British production. It dis-
organised the laboratories, delaying schedules from three days to two weeks,
and sending studio operating expenses (and indirectly the production budgets)
up by thousands of pounds a week. Nine studios depend for electrical
power on transforming plants, taking current from the Grid or the local
Corporation supply. Realising that power cuts are likely to carry on during
1947, some studios have acquired generating plants to supplement the load
from the mains.
In some cases — Riverside for example — the new generating plant is
mobile. This means that it can be put to use on location work and, although
the fuel emergency has brought about this extra expense, it will be more of
an asset than a liability.
A review of technical matters would not be complete without a reference
to the -experimental work which is in progress at Nettlefold. Here, under
the guidance of studio manager W. H. Norris, attempts have been made —
with considerable success — to use television as an ally to film production.

A large radio firm is using the studio as a research ground, and among the
experiments has been one to fix a television scanner to a Debrie camera.
In this way it would be possible to monitor what the film camera is shooting
to various parts of the studio — cutting rooms, management and production
office and so on.
Nettlefold is probably the first studio in the world to make use of tele-
vision. It is expected that this year will see the transmission of televised
rushed from the laboratory to the studios. No one can predict what is likely
to be the ultimate outcome of television transmission. We can but experi-
ment. After all, that's what made the movie talk.

446 The Kinematograph Year Book.
Survey of Technical Developments
by JAMES BENSON
ENTRY upon the year 1947 enables the chronicler of events connected
with the engineering side of kinematography to record some
interesting advances especially as regards projectors and projection
room apparatus. Plans and drawings which had occupied the
attention of inventors and draughtsmen in the closing months of 1945 and
during 1946 have been in the hands of the engineer and have made — or are
in process of making — their appearance ready for placing upon the market
in the months that lie immediately ahead.
The export market has claimed and will continue to claim a large pro-
portion of new machinery turned out from the workshops and factories of
kinematograph engineers, but a continually increasing amount should be
forthcoming to supply the needs — the urgent needs — of the exhibitor who
has been deprived through the war years of up-to-date and fully efficient
mechanisms.
Features of American Designs.
A MERICA was quickly off the mark in announcing the features of the
"^^ projectors it was ready to offer to exhibitors. The Super-Simplex
with its synchronised front and rear shutters, novel synchronising device to
ensure sharper pictures, framing lamp to guard against misframe and other
minor features was already firmly established in the States, and is available
in this country through J. Frank Brockliss, Ltd., although still on a quota
supply scheme of importation. In America this projector operates with the
Simplex 4-Star system which provides first-class sound through the many
refinements introduced.
Another leading American projector is the De Vry which operators who
have worksd it praise in no measured terms. It was originally engineered
for military use and possesses a built-in projector head incorporating
mechanism and sound head in one quickly removed and easily replaceable
unit. A remarkable rigidity is claimed for this projector which operates
with its own amplifier and sound unit.
The Brenk;rt projector in the States is frequently associated with RCA
sound as in this country the Ross projector and RCA are associated. The
Brenkert is somewhat unusual in appearance, its raked base giving a forward-
thrust to upper part of the projector — its lamphouse and projector head.
Features of the De Vry are dual rear shutters, improved cooling and automatic
lubrication.
The Motiograph which has been entirely re-designed is another American
projector of advanced type. All the working parts of the mechanism are
housed in a one-piece casting 15 ins. high, 11 ins. deep, and 18 ins. long, the
working parts being supported by a reinforced centre frame. Like a number
of new mechanisms the projector is of unit construction, assemblies being
easily removed and replaced.
The increased space in the housing provides easy accessibility when
threading and cleaning, while a wide-opening gate and self adjusting guide
rollers are features that will appeal to the American projectionist. A large
lens barrel to accommodate any size of lens is also an advantage.
The Century C.C. projector which in the States is closely associated with
Technical Developments AA1
the Westrex sound system, now introduced into Great Britain by Western
Electric is claimed as the culmination of 25 years of progressive engineering,
providing 50 per cent, more light than a single-shutter device. Economy
in gears is a feature and an easily-removable film trap assembly makes for
ease in cleaning and inspection. Lens mount and gate holder assembly are
easily removable as one unit. The Ashcraft Arc lamp is frequently as-
sembled with this projector unit.
New British Models.
TLJAVING briefly reviewed the new models of American projectors it is
A -*- necessary to examine in greater detail the mechanisms offered by
British manufacturers. Here we enter upon a new field — the provision of
enclosed models by three leading firms — the G.K.21 marketed by G.B-Kalee ;
the B.T-H SUPA and the Kamm manufactured by a company whose name
has been familiar to exhibitors for around 50 years. All three of these
companies offer an enclosed model, differing in exterior appearance but
adopting the enclosed principle, cleanly designed and attractive.
Another new mechanism is the Walturdaw Five, which adheres to the
more traditional appearance as does the Ross and the Imperial, to be
mentioned later.
There is no denying the fact that a projection room equipped with
enclosed projectors presents a very attractive aspect and provided the heat
from the burning carbons can be conveyed away without creating too high
a temperature in the head and up to the top spool box the improvement is
remarkable in giving a sense of orderliness.
The Gaumont-Kalee 21 combines the long experience of Kershaws of
Leeds, in manufacturing kinematograph machinery and the ideas of experts
in industrial design adapting themselves to the requirements of post-war
ideas. Projector, sound-head, arc lamp, spool boxes, motors, etc., are
completely encased in a streamlined protective covering, tastefully finished
in colour. Notwithstanding the fact that everything is completely enclosed,
every part of the equipment is accessible for inspection and servicing.
Gaumont-Kalee 21 Projector.

^ENERAL sturdiness of manufacture as well as grace of design is
to be noted in the G.K.21. Aluminium castings have been employed
for spool boxes, doors and lamp-house instead of sheet metal, which is used
only for the lamp-house dome, while the mechanism provides a number of
interesting features, such as an easily removable aperture plate and front
gate portion, a duplicate aperture above the normal aperture with cut-away
portion to show frame line, and a gate design which enables a wide aperture
lens to come close up to the film.
Twin shutters increase light to an extent, it is claimed, of 18 per cent. ;
Perspex windows enable gears to be examined while running ; pump lubrica-
tion ensures continuous oiling ; a built-in change-over system operates
with the safety-shutter which lifts behind the gate ; a specially designed
Pyrene fire-control system ; long fire-traps, and finally, self-latching doors
which, however, can only be opened by operating the handle.
The arc lamp, which has a 16-in. mirror and an aperture off /1.8, is adapted
to take carbons up to 80 amps. Feed handles are duplicated at the side
and rear of lamp, the rate of feed being shown on a tachometer. Light
is stabilised by a control magnet. Levers on either side of the lamp-house

operate the twin mirror dowser, and the whole lamp is built upon a base
casting which can be quickly withdrawn when necessary for servicing.
The sound-head is re-designed Duosonic with the exciter lamp mounted
alongside the photo cell to which light is guided by prisms ; the unit can
be withdrawn by loosening screws. The amplifier is encased in a steel
box cabinet, of the same light khaki colour as the projector, the rack con-
taining a number of units. The standard power is 30 watts but additions
can be made to bring the capacity to 90 watts. Speakers are similar to the
former Duosonic type but with higher efficiency and two monitors are
installed one over each projector.
B.T-H Single Unit Projector Assembly.
DT-H has named its new enclosed projection equipment SUPA.,the initials
■"-*• of Single Unit Projector Assembly, a word which suggests phonetically
something far better than the average. It is being marketed by Sound
Equipment, Ltd., of 59, Shaftesbury Avenue, London, W.l, the company
which has marketed B.T-H kinematograph apparatus over a number of
years.
The light source, projection mechanism, sound-head, amplifier fader and
arc control gear are all grouped in the unit, controls and meters being placed
on an illuminated panel at the side.
A more brilliant picture, and improved sound have been the goal in
designing this unit, and with an eye to future po'ssibilities, provision has been
made for multi-track stereophonic sound and control tracks when these are
introduced. While the pairs of projectors will be seen to be identical in
outward appearance, within there are differences ; one contains all the
amplifying equipment with space for additions, the other encloses the arc
and motor contactor gear and exciter lamp supplies.
While the SUPA is designed as a whole, individual components are unit
assemblies, which are easily removable. The Maltese cross assembly is such
a unit, having a sealed oil bath with oil level visible from outside the machine.
The picture gate has been re-designed and is kept cool by the B.T-H
static cooling device which has proved itself in earlier models. Focusing
of the lens is simplified and a newly designed flicker shutter gives high light
efficiency with low flicker. A high-speed electrically-operated change-over
shutter is mounted behind the flicker and fire shutters, and is electrically
interlocked with the sound change-over push buttons.
The sound drum assembly is driven by an integral gearless eddy-current
motor with requisite damping, while the sound optical system has been
re-designed to allow for use of control and multi-tracks. Two pre-focused
exciter lamps are provided.
As already stated, the amplifier rack is accommodated in the base of
one of the stands, various racks being mounted on withdrawable trays. A
new photo-cell to valve circuit eliminates the effect of line capacity. Two
types of amplifier are available at 45 and 80 watts respectively. Change-
over is at 500 cycles.
The arc unit, available for 50-55 and 75-80 amps has 14* in. mirror
adjustable vertically and horizontally. A novel feature is the governor
delay device which simplifies striking up the arc. The arc is struck auto-
matically merely by switching on the power ; the device ensures that the
carbons are neither brought violently together, which would damage the
crater, nor separated so quickly as to extinguish the arc. A " magic eye "
Kinema Equipment. 449
thermo-optical relay controls automatic focus while an ingeniously designed
mirror protector device takes care of the mirror while striking, being with-
drawn through the centre of the mirror when the arc is in operation.
The Completely Enclosed Kamm
UOR many years Kamm & Co. has specialised in the " backroom " require-
-*- ments of the industry, and the famous line of Kamm projectors, well
known to all the " old hands," has been kept in being with progressive
improvement. Now, at the culmination of 50 years of manufacturing
experience, the new Kamm reproducer has been launched.
Everything needful to sound-film reproduction — with the obvious exception
of the stage loudspeakers and screen — is contained within the reproducer
cabinet. All that is needed in addition is a mains supply to each reproducer,
the plugging in of the special linking cable between the pair, and the provision
of a projection room-to-stage run to feed the loudspeakers.
The film projector is gearless and almost noiseless in operation. The cross
mechanism contains what must be the largest Maltese cross in use today,
which maintains a high efficiency light-to-dark shutter ratio. Springing
from the unconventional gearless design, it has been possible to provide for
framing and shutter phasing in quite a new way : the shutter-phasing
problem is met by the Kamm simply and efficiently.
The soundhead is conventional, inasmuch as a drum and flywheel is
used. This is driven at just below film speed, the film being held to the drum
by air suction.
The amplifier is built into the reproducer case and, being push-pull
throughout, is hum- and noise-free. Base and treble controls are provided.
Using an entirely new type of output valve, the amplifier exhibits less than
two per cent, harmonic distortion at 25 watts output on a pure tone and will
handle speech and music peaks and transients up to a 66 watt peak. A
wide-angle multicellular horn for the treble and a new type of bass baffle is
provided ; the loudspeaker divider network is of " M " derived design with
low insertion loss.
The arc lamp is itself a Kamm design and another break with convention.
Instead of the usual carbon holders and complicated lead-screw feeds, the
Kamm lamp uses a simple spring-loaded roller feed which serves also as
carbon holder. These are driven from a compensating mechanism which is
electronically operated, the main point of this being that the light source
is maintained in optical centre without manual adjustment. Arc lamp and
projector are designed as one unit. This " unification " principle applies to
all parts of the reproducer. All controls are grouped on the operating side,
including those for framing, arcs, sound level and change-over.
Walturdaw's Projector by Moy
Ylf ALTURDAW, for many years the distributors of the Ernemann pro-
" jector, was faced with the problem of offering to the Trade a projector
to take the place of the German mechanism which had won many friends
outside the country of production. The company has turned to the old-
established engineering firm of Ernest F. Moy, Ltd., to produce a projector
similar to the Ernemann, but embodying some useful improvements. By
doing this they have also ensured to owners of Ernemann machines, of which
there are many in Continental countries, a supply of spares which may be
fitted to the older projectors. The projector bears the name of the manu-
facturing firm upon it, a guarantee in itself of high-class workmanship.
Features of the Walturdaw Five are its robustness of build, and its
incorporation within the gate members of a hollow casting in which water

circulates for cooling purposes, a precaution which owes its existence to the
possibility, once entertained, of the coming of a wider film than 35 mm.
It has its value with the standard film now in use, as buckling is prevented
and emulsion pick-up diminished thereby. The circulating system runs
around the drum shutter, cooling that also. Inside the drum shutter is a
pair of flaps which form an auto-shutter ; these fly out when the machine
attains speed. Behind the gate is a second safety shutter, controlled by a
flap over the top film ways ; should this loop become enlarged by reason of a
film break, the release drops the shutter and stops the machine.
An interesting point about the new Walturdaw is a re-designed Maltese
Cross motion devised by Leonard Cheeseman, Moy's chief designer, which by
having the centres of the four radii recessed shortens the cam recess and
ensures complete locking of the cross while allowing free movement once the
pin has taken control.
With the exception of this alteration in design all parts of the Walturdaw
Five are interchangeable with the Ernemann.
Ross Optical Achievements
'"PHE Ross projector is a mechanism by which a large number of exhibitors
-*■ stand firmly. British and*, built to last may be said to be the motto
of this old-established firm. No new features have been embodied in the
Ross so far, although some are contemplated, but the firm is one of the fore-
most manufacturers of optical instruments and was early on the market
with coated lenses to which it gave the title of Rosskote. Scientific applica-
tion of this coating by the company has greatly increased the optical achieve-
ments of Ross lenses, which are used in the Ross projector.
Imperial Sound System introduced during 1945 a new projector model
for picture and sound. Sturdily built it has been designed for heavy wear
and the needs of the projectionist serving it have been kept in mind in various
ways. Intermittent sprockets' having an ample wrap round, a duplicate
aperture above the gate with a lamp behind it to assist in correct framing, a
gate which lifts off for cleaning, an auto-shutter with flaps which fly out centri-
fugally being part of the drum shutter. The sound-head follows modern
practice, constant film speed being maintained by a simple fly-wheel device.
Advanced Features of Westrex
THHE past year has seen the introduction to this country of the Westrex
*■ Sound System, which is Western Electric's latest introduction. It has
won many enthusiastic admirers in America and Australia, and is now being
installed in English theatres, the Empire, Leicester Square, changing over
at the close of 1946.
Western Electric are now in production in this country with Westrex.
which has been developed alongside the latest recording technique and
equipment to be employed in the premier motion picture studios of Holly-
wood and Great Britain. Exceptional flexibility is claimed for Westrex
which possesses many advanced features and refinements.
The system is available in a range of types suitable for all sizes of
theatres, and each type is engineered to give top performance measured by
the highest presentation standards.
The Westrex sound reproducer set is of new design and by its method
of control over the film at the scanning point reduces flutter to an almost
negligible point. The film is scanned while in contact with a rotating drum
which moves at the same speed as the linear speed of the film. By an
ingenious operation of a spring-loaded roller which holds the film in contact
with the scanning drum at the beginning of a reel, and rises when normal

speed is achieved to the normal operating position, a steadiness is obtained
throughout the run of the reel.
The reproducer set accommodates the pre-amplifier which consists of
two stages, a gain and a cathode follower. A press button operates a relay
for changeover of the main amplifier system from one reproducer set to another.
The output circuits pass to a control cabinet designed for front wall
mounting which houses main volume control, low pass filter and other com-
ponents. The main amplifier cabinet, its power unit, the exciter lamp power
unit and dividing network are mounted in separate steel cases attached to a
light steel framework and chassis are arranged to slide as runners and pivot
for servicing.
Amplifiers are designed for 40 watt speech output for kinemas of 1,000 to
2,000 seats ; two being used for larger capacity theatres, while for less than
1,000 capacity, a 20 watt amplifier is provided. In the latter there is no
separate power unit.
Separate speakers for low and high frequencies are provided, the cross-
over being at 500 cycles.
Western Electric has now extended its service facilities to complement
its entry into the projection, arc lamp, and rectifier fields. The company
has a new projector, the Westar, in production, which has been engineered
from the beginning as an up-to-date precision projector. Its design is
clean and straightforward with a performance meeting the most exacting
standards. Details are not to hand at the moment of going to press.
W.E.'s highly specialised routine and emergency service will be available
for the additional equipment as well as for sound reproducers.
RCA Introduces Improvements
SUCCESSFUL research work both in America and Great Britain has
^ produced a number of refinements in RCA Photophone sound re-
producers. The company's works in N.W. London have been continuously
engaged in introducing improvements suggested by American engineers.
RCA was the pioneer of control by rotary stabiliser and the principle
is continued in the latest models. Roughly the design is akin to what is
known as the fluid flywheel and ensures smoothness of sound reproduction.
Rubber cushioning is employed to insulate the optical system from mechanical
vibrations and an easier threading is obtained by the back of the sound-head
casing being painted white. Two prefocused exciter lamps are provided,
and in the event of failure of one the carriage is reversed and the unused
lamp quickly placed in position. The exciter lamp current is obtained from
a small mains unit housed in the amplifier or mounted near at hand. The
changeover works on the exciter and a noiseless changeover is effected thereby.
A system of preheating the idle lamp overcomes any disadvantage of this
method.
The amplifier design is a joy to the eye as well as affording high efficiency.
In all sizes, there are only three switches : on and off, an emergency switch
which brings directly into play a stand-by unit, and a valve-testing switch.
The indicator by which valve trouble is shown is divided into sectors red,

showing fault, and green, all clear. A selector switch supplements the
indicator.
Speakers are of orthodox appearance ; the cellular horn is, however, of
improved construction, individual horns being of plastic with spaces between
packed to prevent resonance. Nine, twelve or fifteen units are employed to
suit the characteristics of auditoria.
Rectifying Current for the Arc
TPHE year just past has seen the result of efforts of manufacturers of electric
■*■ equipment to provide apparatus having as its purpose the supply of
rectified current for the projector arc at an appropriate voltage without the
wastefulness of ballast resistances.
Hewittic's Unitarc is a single-phase rectifier unit operating on the principle
of their Econotrol device. Two units are required for a projection room,
each of which incorporates a two-anode rectifier bulb and double-wound air-
cooled transformer designed to give a steep falling voltage output character-
istic essential for kinema arc supply.
By means of a skilfully arranged combination of tappings on primary
and secondary windings of the transformer controlled by two rotary switches
a wide variation of output is obtained to suit requirements of any carbon
trim.
The Nevelin Electric Co., Ltd., has approached the problem of conversion
equipment by a method which is proving itself in a number of projection
suites. It comprises a mercury arc rectifier in a compact steel cabinet with
illuminated instrument panel and switches giving a choice of twelve outputs,
the range being from 25 to 65 amperes. Any carbon-trim from 7 by 10mm.
low intensity to 7 by 8 high intensity can be fed in finely graded steps of
approximately 2| amperes. There is a generous overlap between successive
trims.
Westinghouse Brake and Signal Co. introduced a new arc rectifier to
the market developed out of the pre-war copper-oxide type, but employing
a selenium compound which was used very widely during the 1939-1945 war
as a power rectifier for Service requirements. The new rectifier utilises the
same special patented semi-resonant circuit for ballast purposes, but incor-
porates a number of important improvements.
An efficiency of 75 per cent, from mains to arc is claimed for the new
Westalite, a feature of which is that it can be operated at a temperature of
70 deg. Centigrade without resorting to cooling fans. Contactors and control
gear, together with auxiliary transformer and rectifier capable of providing
110 volts D.C., are built within the housing, thus simplifying external wiring.
Easy accessibility to various components is a feature of the unit, and ample
space is available to allow adjustment of air-gap packings. The equipment
is a twin set, comprising two separate Westalite double-voltage rectifiers,
two transformer-reactance units, two ballast arrangements and two sets of
control gear suitable for operating two arcs simultaneously. Two models
are available : (1) for H.T. with maximum output of 45 volts 60 amperes
for each arc ; and (2) for L.I. at 55 volts 60 amperes.
E.C.C. Dual Output Unit
\ N introduction by the Electric Construction Co., Ltd., is an equipment em-
■**■ ploying a special three-phase rectifier bulb, the transformer being provided
with a dual output for supplying two arcs from one bulb, without any inter-
ference between the two arc supplies, a plan which eliminates the use of
chokes. Tapping switches provide sixteen positions of voltage and current
output ; these can be pre-set by the chief projectionist.
Efficiency of the E.C.C. equipment is from 60 to 70 percent, and the power
454 The Kinemato graph Year Book.
factor .7 to .8 without any power factor correction. It is possible to employ
one equipment for operating two arcs and a spot lantern, with an additional
equipment if thought advisable to provide 100 per cent, stand-by.
The new rectifier, known as the Ecwellite, is distributed by Western
Electric, Ltd., by arrangement with the Electric Construction Co., Ltd.
Runbaken Conversion Facilities
A company which has carried out a number of rectifying apparatus con-
•**■ tracts and has specialised in conversions from valve to metal rectification
is Runbaken Electrical Products, of Manchester. This company has been
able to facilitate conversions in many cases by a loan service while the necessary
changes have been made in apparatus, or during a breakdown. Modernisation
from L.I. to H.I. installations is another feature of the Runbaken service.
Its newly designed rectifier, the Superarc, incorporates selenium metal
rectification. It is made in two basic types — a twin unit and a single unit
model. Each is available in three models with outputs of 45, 60 and 75 amps.
Six-phase full-wave rectification is afforded, power factor being between 0.7
and 0.25 with 75 to 85 per cent, efficiency. A remote panel is available.
Stand-by Amplifier
A N introduction during the year which calls for special notice is that
•*"*■ marketed by the Walturdaw company to provide amplification should
a failure take place in the set installed.
The Walturdaw unit comprises two complete amplifiers mounted side by
side in a wall-mounted rack 24 in. high, 19 in. wide and 12 in. deep. Each
amplifier has its own rectifier, power stage, a pre-set response trimming circuit,
a mixing circuit for film and non-sync and a film pre-amplifier. Fitted under
the main amplifiers is a control-unit in which all the control and connection
requirements meet, including an adjustable polarising voltage for each P.E.
cell.
In the event of one of the main amplifiers becoming faulty this can be
removed, and a fresh one fitted without interrupting the show. Change-
over from one channel to the other is accomplished by means of a small toggle
switch, without any but the most observant of patrons realising that a change-
over has taken place.
Rebuilding and Furnishing
/~YWING to the need to devote all the labour and material available to
^-* remedying the housing shortage and promoting the drive for export
markets, there was very little done in the way of providing equipment for
theatre furnishings and seatings. Grants of permits have been very seriously
hedged about with restrictions, 'and renovations of kinema auditoria have had for
the most part to remain unfulfilled. This fact has not prevented those upon
whose shoulders the planning will eventually fall from research and prepara-
tion in readiness for the relaxing of restrictions which must come in time.

Some idea of what might be required in a new township was forthcoming
from the Liverpool area, when the plans for a new satellite township were
produced from the offices of the Liverpool city architect.
The layout plan for the new housing district of Speke, which would
embrace six thousand dwellings, showed them grouped around a central
business, administrative and social centre which include a park, shops and
hostel, clinics and churches with two kinemas in a section which comprised a
hall, library and technical school. The capacity of each kinema is seen as
1,350.
The problem of designing kinema auditoria to ensure optimum sound
reception was examined at length at a meeting of the theatre division of the
British Kinematograph Society, when four members, Messrs. Knopp, Audigier,
Castellain and Garling, contributed to a symposium. Slides showing ceiling and
wall treatment were shown, and the conclusions reached were widely studied.
A summary of the papers with illustrations appeared in the Ideal Kinema
for October, 1946. The papers are to be printed in full in 1947 issues of the
B.K.S. Journal.
Colour Lighting in the Auditorium
TN pre-war days, the colour lighting of an auditorium was one of its
•*- attractive qualities, but the need to be very economical in the use of current
has rendered this a luxury to be dispensed with. The stage, however, has
seen an improved technique in lighting, as the development of technical means
of change-lighting has made great strides. The hand-operated board for
simple lighting changes will still have its devotees, and manufacturers of this
apparatus, such as Strand Electric, have simplified operations over the whole
range. The three ways in which colour change systems will be improved will
be in the perfection of colour values, the use of new and lighter materials,
and the increase of mechanical and electrical efficiency. The production of
a single wire-wound dimmer capable of handling six kilowatts is likely to
revolutionise colour change work in the very near future.
An easily transportable colour-change mechanism occupying only a very
small space in the wings of a theatre was installed in the Saville Theatre,
London, W., during the early part of the year by W. J. Furse and Co. This
control unit, known as Delicolor, having a height of 2 ft. 3 in., a width of 1 ft.
10 in. and a depth of 3 ft. 9 in., can handle a load of 3,000 watts. On a dial
strip on the face of the unit is graded 50 colours, and the unit can be pre-set
and the changes operated by a movable arm.
Prospects of Large Screen Television
I" ARGE screen television, which in the years before the war was regarded
■*-' in some quarters as a fairly near possibility, has not made any practical
advance during the year. Projections of the received image on to a full-
sized screen has not advanced materially from pre-war conditions, but research
is proceeding both in the direction of projection and illumination of the
screen and hopes are entertained that by the end of the year a more satis-
factory illumination may be achieved.
In America a great deal of attention has been given to the development of
colour television. In October last R.C.A. demonstrated its all-electronic
system, whereby the light-beam from a cathode ray tube was projected
upward through a Kodachrome slide and separated by means of colour
niters into red, blue and green images. Each colour was then reflected into
photo-cells which changed the light values into electrical signals for trans-
mission to the receiver by means of a Triniscope and a reflecting mirror.
456 The Kinematograph Year Book.
Columbia Broadcasting System is working through a mechanico-electronic
system which embodies a colour filter disc which is motor-driven.
In this country, experiments have been undertaken at Nettlefold Studios
with the aim of employing television in an ancillary manner to assist the
director in determining the composition and quality of a scene as it will
appear on the film. It is hoped by this means to obviate retakes, and with
monitor screens to avoid mistakes and delays in production. A small-tele-
vision camera is attached to the studio camera and the scene recorded with
only slight differences of parallax for which allowance can be made.
New Light Source Developments
\ TTEMPTS on the part of research workers to discover an improved
-^*- light source that would supplant the carbon arc for projection of films
have not been successful although some notable advances have to be recorded
which may in due time reach a height of perfection that may make this
feasible. Two lines of advance have to be noted, the development of the
discharge lamp and the production in America of a new arc of an entirely
different type dispensing altogether with carbons.
Neither of these inventions threatens the carbon arc at present or is
likely to do so for some years. The ingenuity of technicians at the laboratories
of B.T.H. and G.E.C. has resulted in the production of studio lamps of the
discharge type which have proved themselves as regards brightness, colour,
and length of life ; but these are not yet suitable for the special work of film
projection, excellent as they are in many ways.
The other lamp is one which was heralded as likely to revolutionise film
projection — the zirconium lamp developed in America. This lamp, not
yet developed sufficiently to provide sufficient lumens for film projection,
consists of a negative electrode made by packing zirconium oxide into the
open end of a tube made of tungsten or other metal having similar char-
acteristics. The positive is a simple sheet or plate capable of being heated
to a dull red. The two electrodes are mounted in a bulb which has been
evacuated and filled with inert gas. An arc is struck and the zirconium oxide
becomes electrically conductive, the temperature of the surface of the oxide
being raised to or above its melting-point of 3,000 deg. K. when the molten
oxide becomes metallic zirconium and spreads a thin layer over the surface
of the cathode. It is this film of molten metal which is the chief source of
visible radiation from the lamp. Light is emitted in one direction only.
An experimental lamp having a source spot of -^ in. operating on 450 watts
has been made for 16-mm. projectors, and a f-in. spot using a 1,500-watt
lamp has been constructed for 35-mm. projection.

Low-Density, High-Strength Dufaylite
A NOTHER new material likely to find its way into kinemas for furniture
■**■ is Dufaylite, a new low-density, high-strength material developed by
Dufay-Chromex, Ltd. It is composed of layers of Kraft paper, impregnated
with phenolic resin, glued together by a special process and mechanically
stretched to form a multitude of hexagonal cellular forms. This is then
bonded between thin skins of practically any material to form a laminated
panel, a section of which having 2 to 3 inch cells will support the weight of a
man. Chairs, tables, and other articles are of incredible lightness and strength.
In America, a number of theatres are being built of prefabricated
material. Panels of this material are brought to the site and bolted to the
steel structure, enabling erection to be carried out in an incredibly short time.
A description of the Crest, Long Beach, California, together with illustrations,
was printed in the March, 1947, Ideal Kinema.
Big Demand for Sub-Standard Equipment
TOURING 1946 the sub-standard film of 16-mm. gauge came prominently
*-^ into the entertainment field as a result of the decision of American
companies to issue feature films on both 35-mm. and 16-mm. This decision
was the outcome of the use of the narrower film for supplying the fighting
services with entertainment by mobile units. As a result a huge demand
began to arise for projectors, and it was at first anticipated that mechanisms
which had been used for Services entertainment might become available.
These hopes were to a large extent disappointed, as the Services retained most
of the worth-while material, the rest being allotted to educational establish-
ments, except for E.N.S. A. -controlled material, which was disposed of at high
prices.
Various steps had already been taken to manufacture 16-mm. apparatus

in this country. B.T.H. was known to be engaged upon the manufacture
of a 16-mm. projector. RCA had plans for making in this country the pro-
jector so widely used for U.S. as well as British troop entertainment, while
the J. Arthur Rank organisation had secured the rights of production of the
well-known Bell and Howell.
The B.T.H. machine is now in supply, while the RCA and Bell and
Howell models are expected during 1947. To these must be added the projector
introduced by Carpenter and Richardson, built on somewhat unorthodox
lines, but giving general satisfaction. The GeBescope is an old and tried
projector much used in the British services.
To these must be added the Victor 40 B, and a new Ampro, to be made
shortly by Simplex-Ampro in this country.
The New B.T.H. Projector
HPHE B.T.H. 16-mm. projector is designated Type 301, and is a worthy
-■■ successor to the first sub-standard sound machine introduced by B.T.H
in 1931. It will operate on A.C. supplies from 90 to 270 volts, 50 cycles,
and maintains smooth sound by eliminating speed variation. Built on the
unit system, complete sections are easily removable, while simplicity in
servicing is secured by the ball-bearings being grease-packed and a single-
point lubrication for the intermittent being provided. Lamp and lamphouse
are forced-draught cooled, and with the very efficient optical system operating
with a 500- or 750-watt lamp a high level of screen illumination is obtained.
Easy access for threading is a feature, and all controls are grouped on one side
of the machine. The whole projector unit weighs 39 lb., and fits into a case
with other accessories, a second case acting as baffle for the 12-in. permanent-
magnet speaker mounted within. It also has provision for transport of
50 ft. of speaker lead. Ten watts undistorted output is obtained over a wide
frequency response.
The Unorthodox Carpenter Machine
HPHE Carpenter and Richardson sub-standard projector departs from the
* orthodox model in that it is left-handed, this meaning that the operator
stands on the left of the machine. In a few ways this is an advantage when one
has got used to it, but those brought up on right-hand stance will at first
find it awkward. One advantage claimed is that in threading the picture
and sound track the sprockets are not in the way. Good quality sound
has been achieved, the machine being driven by a synchronous motor
specially designed and made for the job ; this eliminates speed variations and
wows. The method adopted in 35-mm. projectors of isolating the scanning
drum from the intermittent motion by a driven sprocket is a feature of the
machine. The claw-motion has a six -to-one shift period and to facilitate the
running of slightly-damaged film a triple claw is provided.
Lamps of 500, 750 or 1,000 watts can be used ; cooling is applied by a

the equipment is 63 lb.
Features of the GeBescope
f^ AUMONT-BRITISH had been developing the 16-mm. picture for some-
^-* thing like 14 years, when the chiefs of the organisation realised that
the supply of films and of projectors went hand in hand. The original
GeBescope was introduced in 1933, and thus was in the field of sound films in
their earliest days on the sub-standard gauge. When the war broke out in
1939 the production side was switched over to service supply.
The unit now in use is the Z 516, working on 200-250 volts A.C. with lamp
resistance ; on 100-110 volts A.C. with transformers and on 100-110 volts D.C.
with converters. The projector lamp is 500 watts 110 volts operating with
an aspherical 35-mm. adjustable condenser lens and a 50-mm. picture lens as
standard. Exciter light comes from incidental light of projector lamps.
The electrically governed motor also drives blower for cooling film and lamp.
The speaker is a permanent-magnet moving coil and output is eight watts.
A single switch on the front panel controls motor speed for silent and sound
films of 16 and 24 frames per second.
Weight of apparatus is as follows: projector, 40 1b., speaker 49 1b.

projector will be identical in design with that produced in America, the
features of which are so well known.

be designated the Premier 20.
The projector will follow very closely the pattern of the American
machine which gives easy accessibility to the interior for cleaning and

British Version of the Victor
HTHE Victor 16mm. sound film projector now being built in Great Britain
* and shortly available on the British market is the result of nearly
a quarter of a century's experience in the design and manufacture of sub-
standard equipment. It is being marketed by Victor Animatograph Corpora-
tion (London), Ltd.
The body is of non-ferrous casting finished a grey crackle, and the whole
equipment is compact and readily portable, the two cases carrying it
weighing 43 lb. (projector) and 30 lb. (speaker).
Features are : safety film trip, with automatic stop in emergency ; 180°
swing-out lens mount, permitting ease of cleaning ; off-set film loop, which
prevents side-sway of screen image ; single oversize drive sprocket ; device to
show frames " still " without blistering ; oversize motor ; air-cooling fan ;
coated two-inch/ 1.6 lens in precision-made optical unit; 24 or 16 frame speed ;
stationary sound drum ; amplifier adequate up to four 12-in. speakers ; wide
frequency range; separate tone control ; llOv. A.C. 50 cycle, step-down trans-
former ; together with improvements in precision work throughout.
RCA Photophone have drawings out for a new 16-mm. projector to
be made in this country incorporating the latest American improvements.
Particulars will be available later in the year.
Accessory Supply
Y\7ITH the wider use of sub-standard film there has come into use a number
T* of accessories necessary to the effective screening of 16-mm. film. On
the production side are the narrow gauge editing apparatuses and recording,
re-recording and reduction mechanisms, while on the projection side new
productions in rewinders, splicers, projector stands, transit cases, screens,
spools. Details of these together with advice by specialists on running of
sub-standard shows and news of inventions both at home and overseas are
published in the monthly Sub-standard Film, a supplement to the Kinemato-
.graph Weekly.
Notwithstanding the progress made during the past year in sub-standard
design, there are many technicians who feel that the perfect narrow-gauge
projector has still to come and research is proceeding in developing new
light sources and improving mechanisms with the aim of making the sub-
standard projector as efficient as the 35-mm. model.

THE COST OF ELECTRICITY.
An electrical unit is equal to 1 kilowatt-hour, or 1,000 watts for one
hour. To ascertain the consumption in hours per unit of any piece of D.C.
apparatus rated in watts, divide the rating into 1,000 : e.g., a 60-watt lamp
will run for 1,000-1-60= 16§ hours for one unit.
The theoretical electrical horse-power is equal to 746 watts. For electric
motors, a useful approximation is to reckon one unit per hour per rated
horse-power.
In the case of A.C. supplies, maximum-demand charges are generally
based, not upon the kilowatt, but upon the kilo-volt-ampere ; the relation
between the two terms is known as power factor. Thus at a power factor of
0.8, a supply of 1 k.v.a. is equal in power output to only 800 watts. The
loading of cables must also be based upon the k.v.a., and not the k.w. con-
sumption.
Lighting and heating circuits (other than neons and other discharge
lamps) have a power factor of unity ; the power factor of motors, arc rectifiers,
etc., may vary from 0.6 to 0.9. It is advantageous to keep the power factor
of such apparatus as high as possible.
CALCULATING ARC RESISTANCES.
The value of a resistance R to pass a given current C at voltage V is
expressed, according to Ohm's law, by the formula —
In calculating arc resistances, however, the value of the back voltage A
of the arc must be considered. This may be reckoned as 45 volts for low-
intensity arcs, and for high-intensity from 25 volts for a horizontal-negative
mirror arc or 40 for an inclined-negative mirror arc, up to 65 or 70 volts for
rotating-positive arc and 20 volts for A.C. arc. The formula then becomes —
The earlier studs of a resistance should be so computed as to allow the
arc to be struck on not more than one-third of its full current.
ORDINARY FILM CEMENT.
A my l Acetate 4 oz., Acetone 6 oz.
This may either be used as it is, in which case the cement will be a thin
fluid with not much more body in it than water, or it may be thickened to
any desired extent by dissolving it in celluloid chips. Celluloid film base
from which the gelatine coating has been cleaned off will serve.
For non-flam, film glacial acetic acid may be added ; some users also
add chloroform. It is, however, preferable to use the cement recommended
by the makers of the stock — e.g., for Dufaycolor use Ilford cement,

MEASUREMENT OF SCREEN BRIGHTNESS
Mount photometer one-third the height of screen, and take readings
at each end, in the centre, and intermediately (five in all). Average of
readings gives light intensity in foot-candles ; a recommended figure is from
10 to 14 foot-candles.

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. On
3-phase motor circuits always fuse heavily.

488 The Kinematograph Year Book.
Financial Review of 1946
by V. J. BURTT
THE year 1946 was the most active financial year in the entire history
of British films and kinemas. And it was no year of mushroom growth,
but of satisfying financial expansion and consolidation, backed by
bigger earnings, larger dividends, and better attention to reserves. Numerous
capital plans were launched with the object of strengthening the financial
structure of the various groups.
Adjustments in Rank Group
The Rank group has been particularly active. Reassuring is the steady
emergence of the Gaumont-British group into a position of greater financial
stability allied with improved earning capacity.
In January, 1946, the debenture debt was reorganised with a considerable
saving of income. This, coupled with the pending withdrawal of E.P.T.,
forms a useful insurance against declining profits due to increased com-
petition from other forms of entertainment.
Assuming a position of status quo, G.B. should be able to continue its
policy of increasing reserves and at the same time giving shareholders a
better deal.
It is hoped that the directors will not overlook the £3,695,000 goodwill
item and the necessity for a further general reduction in current liabilities
which still exceed current assets.
The British and Dominions Film Corporation has become the spearhead
of Rank's studio operations. The stage was set for big business by an increase
in the capital to £4,800,000. In April, 1946, the company issued £2,000,000
of 5£ per cent, redeemable cumulative participating preference shares of
£1 each, and 1,090,000 12s. ordinary shares at 20s. each. This deal was
combined with a re-orientation of the various studio concerns, Denham and
Pinewood Studios, the laboratories, etc., which are now all concentrated
in B, and D.
G.T.C. Profits Trebled
In the same group, there was a distinct revival of interest in General
Theatres Corporation, where profits for the year to March, 1946, were nearly
trebled. The financial position has been clarified, and the last of the music
halls turned over to Moss Empires, and two kinemas taken over from that
concern. Debenture debt was considerably reduced by a conversion operation
towards the end ol 1946. The whole of the £1,569,556 6£ per cent. First
Mortgage Debenture Stock was redeemed at £103 per cent, on April 1, 1947,
and the £140,498 of 5£ per cent. 2nd mortgage debenture stock on January 1,
1947. They have been replaced by £1,000,000 of 3 J per cent, first mortgage
debenture stock.
There has been a complicated series of adjustments to Odeon, including
the replacement of debentures by preference shares and the acquisition of,
or participation in, further theatres and circuits at home and abroad,
Finance. 489
Odeon Theatres issiied £1,000,000 4 per cent, second debentures* and
£1,000,000 of A\ per cent, redeemable preference shares in July, 1946, while
Odeon Property in the same month issued £3,500,000 of 3£ per cent, first
mortgage debentures.
Finally, in January, 1947, it was decided to form a new company —
Odeon Associated Theatres. This company issued £3,500,000 of 3£ per cent,
first mortgage debenture stock at par, and £1,250,000 of A\ per cent, redeem-
able cumulative preference shares of £1 each at 21s. per share.
Associated British Progress
In March, 1946, Associated British Picture Corporation disposed of
4£ per cent, first mortgage debenture stock, 6 per cent, preference shares
of Union Cinemas, its subsidiary ^ and 5 per cent. Income Certificates of the
same company, and replaced them with £4,500,000 of A\ per cent, cumulative
pre-preference shares issued at 22s. 6d.
Big savings should accrue from these operations, which include the
unification of the group.
The year 1946 also saw the British Lion and Sound City organisations
come within the orbit of Sir Alexander Korda's activities.
London Film Productions, Ltd., now controls both concerns, which are
known as British Lion Film Corporation and British Lion Studio Co.
British Lion Film in June, 1946, issued 4,000,000 Is. ordinary shares at
5s. each, of which London Film Productions took 1,600,000. British Lion
Studio preference arrears were cleaned up in November, 1946, by an issue of
4 per cent. Funding stock, while new finance was secured by an issue of
£500,000 4 per cent, first mortgage debenture stock in December, 1946.
There was also issued a similar amount of 5 per cent. Convertible Notes
having a two years' option to convert into 2s. ordinary shares. Intangible
assets were also written off.
Granada before the Public
The Granada Theatres group brought itself before the public in July,
1946, by an issue of 800,000 4£ per cent, redeemable cumulative first pre-
ference shares of £1 each at 20s. 6d., and by the sale of 225,541 6 per cent,
cumulative 2nd preference shares, both of which are now quoted on the market.
In addition 131,783 ordinary shares of 5s. each were issued privately at
8s. per share. Of the proceeds, £830,000 has been used in repaying, or
making advances to, various subsidiary, or sub-subsidiary companies, to
enable them to clean up their balance sheets. This left a balance available
for additional working capital and for acquisitions.

The Rank Organisation. 507
The Rank Organisation
TN the comparatively short space of 12 years the Rank Organisation has
-*- emerged as the most important group of the British Film Industry.
Through the organisation, J. Arthur Rank has a major interest in over 80
companies operating in the production, distribution, exhibiting and manu-
facturing sides of the business. The total assets of the group are estimated
at £50,000,000. The annual turnover of these companies tops the £50,000,000
mark, and the concern gives employment to 33,000 employees.
The history of the organisation dates back to 1935 at the time when the
fortunes of the British production industry was at a low ebb. The boom
produced by the Quota Act had turned into a depression ; there was grave
anxiety in the City. Millions were being lost in financing British production,
and later, as a result of a private and unpublished report by William Crocker,
responsible for the expose on the London fire conspiracy, underwriters were
refusing to back further projects.
At this stage, J. Arthur Rank, previously only concerned with films
from the religious aspect — he had formed a company to make pictures inter-
preting his Methodist viewpoint — became interested in the behind-the-
scenes financial battles for control of major film interests in this country.
The exhibiting field at this time was dominated by Gaumont-British
under the control of the Ostrer Brothers, and Associated British, headed by
the late John Maxwell. A third circuit, the Odeon chain, was being developed
rapidly by the late Oscar Deutsch.
So far as the distributing side of the industry was concerned, the scene
was overwhelmingly dominated by the American companies.
Control of G.-B. was vested in the Metropolis and Bradford Trust, the
key shares of which were held by the Ostrer Brothers. Offers for controlling
interest in the Trust made on behalf of 20th Century- Fox were turned down by
the Ostrers, but a large block of non-voting shares was sold to Maxwell
together with an option on their 5,100 voting shares. Twentieth Century-
Fox, which already held the balance of 4,900 voting shares, exercised its
right of veto on the transfer of the Ostrers' voting shares to Maxwell.
First Important Move
Meanwhile, Rank made his first important move in the film industry.
In association with the late C. M. Woolf, who retired from the board of G.-B.,
he formed General Film Distributors. The company was financed by General
Cinema Finance Corporation, the board of which included, in addition to
Rank, such influential names as Lord Portal, Lord Luke, Paul Lindenburg
and Leslie William Farrow. Of the original board only Rank and Leslie
Farrow remain.
The first major move by G.F.D. was the completion of a deal with Universal
of America, whereby directors were exchanged, a shareholding, which now
stands at 13.3 per cent., was acquired in the American company, and G.F.D.
received the rights to distribute Universal's Hollywood product in this
country.
This, in effect, was a most significant deal, for with a guaranteed supply
of American films, Rank was able to compete with the American firms.
The next major move was made by Rank in 1939, when he joined the
board of Odeon. When Oscar Deutsch died in early 1942 he became chairman.
A few months earlier he had acquired the 5,100 "A " shares in Metropolis
and Bradford.
John Maxwell, who had tried to merge his A. B.C. interests with G.-B.,
508 The Kinematograph Year Book.
died in 1941, and a year later Rank acquired the non- voting Maxwell holding
in the Trust' — thus securing control of the vast G.-B. organisation.
Rank was also negotiating for Maxwell's control of Associated British
Picture Corporation. Warners' had bought 2,000,000 A.B.P.C. shares on
Maxwell's death, leaving 2,050,000 shares held by the Maxwell family, but
Rank failed to buy them.
In spite of this, Rank became the most important factor on the exhibiting
side of the business by virtue of his control of G.-B. with 240 kinemas and
theatres, and Odeon with 305 kinemas, a total of 545 against A.B.P.C.'s total
of 458 kinemas. In the West End of London, Rank is particularly strong,
having gained control, through G.-B. Odeon and through other deals, of the
important show windows for his product — the Gaumont, Haymarket, the
Odeon and Leicester Square theatres, the New Gallery, Regent Street, and
others on the fringe of the West End.
Side by side with these devlopments Rank extended his interests into
the distribution, production and equipment manufacturing ends of the
industry.
To-day, the Rank organisation embraces over 80 companies, the capital
for which is mainly provided by outside shareholders.
The vast combine is controlled financially by Rank through his £100
company, Manorfield Investments, Ltd. ; while the administrative policy of
the group is determined by another private company, J. Arthur Rank
Organisation, Ltd.
Eleven Holding Companies
Heading the list are 1 1 finance and holding companies, which, apart
from the General Cinema Finance Corporation and the Metropolis and Brad-
ford Trust, include Denham and Pinewood Holdings, British and Dominions
Film Corporation, New Standard Film Co., Standard Film Co., P.C.T. Con-
struction, Odeon Cinemas (Holdings), Overseas Cinematograph Theatres,
Odeon Holdings (New Zealand), and the General Theatre Corporation of
Canada.
On the distributing side, apart from G.F.D., there are the virtually
dormant companies Universal Pictures and Gaumont British Distributors,
and the important and very active Eagle-Lion Distributors, a private company,
with capital of £100, responsible for co-ordinating the distribution of Ranks'
products overseas, except in the Western hemisphere. Offshoots of the
Eagle-Lion company have been established in Brussels, Singapore, Hong
Kong, China and Manila, the Middle East, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, France,
Italy and Holland. Indian distribution is handled by British Distributors
(India), Ltd.
In America distribution is controlled by the J. Arthur Rank Organisation
Inc., in association with Universal, and in Canada there are two companies,
Eagle-Lion Films of Canada and Monogram Pictures of Canada.
Among other distribution companies associated with the organisation by
special agreements are Universal Pictures Co., Inc., British Empire Films
(Pty.), Ltd., of Australia, Gaumont-Eagle-Lion in France and Belgium, and
African Consolidated Films, Ltd.
In the exhibiting field the scene is dominated by the Odeon and G.-B.
groups. The parent company of the Odeon Group is Odeon Theatres, Ltd.
Its main offshoots are Odeon Properties, formed in 1942 to acquire 110 pro-
perties from the parent and subsidiary companies, and Odeon Associated
Theatres.
In 1947, Odeon Properties acquired from the parent company 11,000
fully paid shares in Metropole and Allied Cinemas, a company operating 16
kinemas in Eire. The title of the company has since been changed to Odeon
(Ireland), Ltd.
The Rank Organisation. 509
Rank's first move to develop his theatre interests abroad was the estab-
lishment of Odeon Theatres, Canada, Ltd., in association with Paul Nathanson,
and the building up of a chain of Odeons by the purchase of existing properties.
At the end of 1946 Rank acquired full control by purchase of Nathanson's half
share in the circuit, which then controlled more than 100 kinemas.
Companies were also formed to build kinemas in Cairo, Alexandria and
Portugal.
The G.-B. circuit is controlled through a series of subsidiary and associated
companies, the most important being Albany Ward Theatres, Associated
Provincial Picture Houses, Denham Picture Houses, Denham (London),
Cinemas, General Theatre Corporation, Provincial Cinematograph Theatres,
and Overture Theatres.
Recently Odeon, in association with G.-B., formed Overseas Cinemato-
graph Theatres, which is to take over from Odeon Theatres the kinemas
acquired or agreed to be acquired by the company in Canada, New Zealand
and Egypt.
South African Deal
A deal recently concluded with African Consolidated Theatres gives
Rank an interest in the 400 kinemas controlled by the Schlesinger group.
He also has a dominant interest in Greater Union Theatres (Pty.), Ltd.,
controlling 110 kinemas in Australia, and in Union Investments, Ltd., operat-
ing 143 kinemas in New Zealand.
There are more than 13 companies covering the organisation's film pro-
duction and studio interests. G.-B., through Gainsborough Pictures (1928),
Ltd., controls the studios at Shepherd's Bush and Islington.
Outside the G.-B. group, Rank's studio interests have been concentrated
within the British and Dominion Film Corporation, which, with its subsidiary
companies, D. & P. Studios, Ltd., and Denham Laboratories, Ltd., owns
studio and other properties at Denham and Pinewood.
Apart from Gainsborough, film production companies include Two Cities
Films, Wesley Ruggles Productions and the important Independent Producers,
which serves as an umbrella company for a group of independent film makers.
These include Individual, The Archers, Wessex and Cineguild.
Rank is also associated with RKO-Radio in film production in this
country through Alliance Productions.
Other relatively important production companies are G.-B. Animation,
through which Rank intends to build up a British rival to Disney, " This
Modern Age " and G.-B. Instructional, which makes scientific, documentary
and educational films and some 50 children's films a year.
In addition, Rank owns two newsreels — -Gaumont British News and
Universal News through British Pictorial Productions.
Among the production servicing companies are Film Laboratories, Ltd.,
and Production Facilities (Films), Ltd., which is a central exchange co-
■ordinating research, story writing and servicing.
Rank's film production interests abroad include the association with
Universal-International and control of the Queensway Studios in Canada.
There are soma 23 companies engaged in equipment research, manufacture
and marketing and other miscellaneous activities. Cinema Television, Ltd.,
■which in 1940 acquired the assets of Baird Television and in 1945 acquired
the 320,000 issued shares of Bush Radio, Ltd., for 500,000 preference shares
and 12.000,000 " A " ordinary shares, is engaged in television and equipment
research.
G. B.-Kalee, Ltd., handles the distribution of 35-mm. studio, projection
and kinema equipment and co-ordinates the activities of associated companies
and factories. Associated companies under the title of Gaumont Kalee, Ltd.,
510
The Kinematograph Year Book.
have been formed in Canada and India, and agengies have been established
in almost every part of the world.
The associated manufacturing companies are A. Kershaw and Sons,
manufacturing Kalee projectors, arc lamps, " bloomed " lenses and precision
optical instruments ; British Acoustic Films, sound recording and reproducing
equipment ; Bush Radio ; Taylor, Taylor, Hobson, Cooke Lenses, optical
instruments and machine tools ; Pixtons, Ltd., kinema seating ; the recently
formed company, Gaumont-Kalee Seating, Ltd., which will operate a new
seating factory being built at Doncaster ; and Stable ford Screens, Ltd.
Handling the 16-mm. field is yet another company, G.-B. Equipments,
Ltd., which, apart from marketing sub-standard projection equipment, also
controls the activities of the G.-B. 16-mm. Film Library, the largest of it
type in this country. Last year Rank negotiated an agreement with the
American Bell and Howell Co. Under this agreement, Bell and Howell Co.,
Ltd., was formed in this country to manufacture B. & H. sub-standard
projectors and cameras.
The Bell and Howell sub-standard library in America — Filmosound
Library — was also acquired by United World Pictures, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Universal Pictures, and as a result of Rank's link with Universal
there is an arrangement for the interchange of the sub-standard films between
the United World and G.-B. libraries.
The remaining miscellaneous companies are Celluloid Products, Ltd.,
Cinephonic Music Co., Ltd., Decorative Crafts, Ltd., G.-B. Screen Services,
Hanson 16-mm. Movies, Ltd., of Canada, Helmar, Ltd., Helmar (Export),
Ltd., Imcos, Ltd., Langford and Co., Ltd., Odelma, Ltd., Sandora, Ltd.,
Theatre Publicity, Ltd., and the Trading Corporation for Educational and
General Services, Ltd.
Apart from the G.-B. manufacturing interests, Rank is chairman of the
board of Sound Equipment, Ltd., which markets B.T.-H. kinema equipment,
including sound reproducing equipment and projectors.

The Financial Year in the U.S. 511
The Financial Year in the U.S.
by JAMES P. CUNNINGHAM
THE past year was unequalled in all of the 50-odd years of the American
motion picture industry by the record financial income of film com-
panies. Paramount especially setting a sensational pace with the
huge net of an estimated $45,000,000 for the year, after payment of all
charges and deductions for Federal Government taxes.
The phenomenal rise can best be appreciated by comparing the
$34,000,000 for the first nine months of the year with the $14,000,000 net
for the same period in the previous year. Common stock earnings were
running at the rate of $4.51 per share, compared with $1.84 at the same period
one'year previous.
As in the case of Loew-Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Warner Brothers, Radio-
Keith-Orpheum-RKO Radio, and Twentieth Century-Fox, earnings of Para-
mount include profits from theatre affiliations and film distribution, with all
of the incomes reflecting results from a record year at kinema box-offices
throughout the nation, high profits embracing a general upswing in admission
prices in addition to the boost given to theatre receipts by the millions of
returning " G.I's."
Loew's net profits last year soared $5,000,000, to $18,691,533, after all
charges — and after paying some $13,000,000 in Federal taxes. The company
had a gross income of $188,500,000 against which it charged $141,000,000
for operating and general expenses for its theatre company and affiliated
film producing-distributing corporation.
Universale Record Year
Universal, too, had the best year in its history, Nate J. Blumberg,
president, and J. Cheever Cowdin, board chairman, reporting a net profit
of $4,566,000, compared with $3,910,000 in the previous year. Its gross
operations brought in $53,935,000, against $51,000,000 for the previous
12 months. The $4,566,000 net profit is after all deductions, including taxes.
Participating, too, in the prosperity was the U.S. Treasurer's admission
tax coffers, which in October, 1946, reached an all-time monthly high of
$48,560,000. This, of course, is at the war-time excise levy rate of 20 per cent,
on theatre grosses.
Warner Brothers and its related film and theatre affiliates likewise rode
high on the waves of film corporation prosperity, with a net profit of
$19,424,000, equalling $2.62 per common share, compared with $9,901,000,
or $1.33 per share in the previous year. Harry M. Warner, for the company,
reported a gross income of $158,613,000, an increase of $16,822,000 over
1945. Warners last year paid the staggering Federal Tax of $18,500,000,
more than $2,000,000 over the previous year, when the gross income was
$141,791,000.
Among the "Little Three," United Artists, being a closed corporation,
does not disclose earnings, but it, too, shared proportionately in the profit-
taking. In this class, Columbia increased its earnings considerably, doubling
its net in the third quarter on an income totalling $965,000, against about
$500,000 for the same quarter in the previous year. Federal taxes for that
quarter alone were $575,000 compared to the 1945 third quarter's $380,000.
Third among the so-called "Little Three" is Universal, whose profit
also soared, as reported above, on a $4,566,000 all-time record high.
Another high financial performance was turned in by Universal Pictures,
netting the huge profit of $16,220,000, nearly $9,000,000 more than the net
512 The Kinematograph Year Book.
income of 1945, both figures representing totals after all charges were deducted
and provisions made for Federal income taxes. The tax last year was
$12,750,000, which, with the net, represented an operating profit of some
$29,000,000, on a gross income of $145,597,000. After deducting dividends
of prior preferred and convertible preferred shares, the net for last year was
equal to $5.69 per share on the 2,734,000 shares of common stock outstanding.
The year's earnings for Radio-Keith-Orpheum Corp. are bast reflected
from the net of the last available quarterly report, in which RKO president,
N. Peter Rathvon, reported that his company was also running at a double-
earning rate, the profit-taking for that quarter reaching $3,082,553, equivalent
to 80 cents per share on the corporation's common stock, against $1,520,000
for the identical quarter in 1945, when the earnings were equal to 47 cents
per common share. For the first nine months of the year — -the report on the
final quarter not being available — the consolidated net profit reached
$9,963,906, compared with a net income of $3,942,000 for the same three-
quarter period of one year previous.
The year's most impressive motion picture financial transaction involving
individuals was the early November action of the board of directors of Universal
Pictures assigning a value of $40 per share to the " U " common stock issued
for the acquisition of International Pictures Corp., giving a value of $5,000,000
to the 125,000 shares to be issued subsequently to William Goetz and Leo
Spitz, owners of International, each of whom were assigned 62,500 shares of
■ Universal common — a net split of $2,500,000 for each — and thus Universal-
International was born.
Monogram's Profits Doubled •
Following the pattern cut by motion picture corporate earnings during
the year of doubled profits, Monogram Pictures, steered by Steve Broidy,
president, ran the company into a net of $255,000, against a net income of
$122,000 for the previous year, and that was for a fiscal year ending early in
1946. The company progressed even further during the year, to the point
where the company was continuing to operate at a two-to-one profit, on a
comparison of 1946 net stacked against 1945.
Biggest refinancing deal during the year was the sale of $20,000,000,
private issuance, by Twentieth Century- Fox's National Theatres Corp.,
in the West, principal amount in debt obligations to the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co., the Bank of America — which has been so close to motion picture
financial sponsorship — and the Chase National Bank, the financial supporter
for so many years of Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. The obligations
incurred are due over a period of 20 years, have an average life of 13 years,
at an average interest rate of 2.82 per cent.
The splitting up of stocks of film companies in the U.S. during the year,
as well as the conversion of preferred stock to common by other corporations,
resulted in a 63 per cent, increase in the number of shares outstanding, the
New York Stock Exchange at the year-end listing 31,735,000 film shares,
compared with 19,230,000 shares at the end of 1945.
Total valuation of these film shares, based on the then available figures
of market tradeability reached an all-time high of approximately
$1,309,581,000, a rise of some $95,227,000 over the approximate total of
$1,214,353,000 for the end of 1945.
We do not predict the end of high income for the American motion
picture industry in 1947, but we do predict that fewer persons will attend
kinemas ; admission prices have been raised considerably within the past
several months, therefore mass attendance in previous numbers will not be
necessary to maintain the previous level of income.
LOOKING ON
THE LEGAL SIDE
Cinematograph Films Act, 1938.
Summary of Acts and Other
Legislation Epitomised.
514 The Kinematograph Year Book.
The Legal Outlook
by NORMAN HART, B.A.
FEW important industries are as closely affected as the kinema trade
by the many enactments which have been added to the Statute Book
in recent years. Some of this legislation is general in its application,
but the entertainment world has its full share of provisions and restrictions,
both national and local, which are peculiar to itself.
In view of the veritable library of laws and regulations which govern the
construction and operation of every kinema and the exhibition of every film,
it says much for the vigilance of executives in the industry that so few breaches
occur.
Sunday Opening Regulations
By Section 1 of the Emergency Laws (Transitional Provisions) Act, 194(i,
Defence Regulation 42b remains in force until December 31, 1947, unless
it is revoked before that time. Under the Schedule to the Act it is provided
that the existence of an Order submitted under Regulation 42b shall not pre-
vent an Order for the purposes of Section 1 (5) of the Sunday Entertainments
Act, 1932, being laid before Parliament. If that Order is approved by
Parliament the Order submitted under the Defence Regulation shall cease
to have effect.
It is open to any Council who has submitted an Order under the Defence
Regulation and in whose area public opinion favours Sunday opening as a
permanent arrangement to apply for an Order of permanent effect to the
Secretary of State before Defence Regulation 42b ceases to be in force and thus
avoid a break in the continuity of the Sunday performances.
The procedure to be adopted in the case of an Urban District Council is
for a public meeting of Government electors to be called and a poll can be
demanded if objection is raised to the proposal by one hundred electors or
one-twentieth of the electorate, whichever is the less.
Expenses of the Poll
The expenses of this meeting and poll have to be defrayed by the Council.
If the Council is a Rural District Council a local inquiry is held at which
persons in favour and those against the application can attend and give their
views. Subsequently the decision of the person appointed to conduct the
inquiry is given. If the result of the poll or inquiry is in favour of Sunday
opening application is made to the Secretary of State for the Order which
will have permanent effect. When this has been obtained application has
to be made to the licensing authorities for the Sunday licence.
Section 1 of the Sunday Entertainments Act gives discretionary powers
to licensing authorities with regard to the granting or refusal of a licence ;
but the application must be considered according to reason and justice and
not in accordance with private or personal views and must not take into con-
sideration extraneous- matters.
I feel very strongly that the sooner the Sunday Entertainments Act is
amended to meet this sort of case the better it will be for everyone. It
The Legal Outlook. 515
does not seem reasonable that after all the trouble and expense that has
been gone through to obtain a permanent order the Licensing Authority
has the right to refuse to carry out the Order and withhold the licence.
Surely their duty should be to carry out the Order subject to such reasonable
conditions as they may think fit to impose.
One is happy to note the amicable relationship which exists between
exhibitors and the licensing authorities but for all that conditions are being
imposed from time to time which should not be allowed to go unchallenged.
The condition concerning children under a certain age attending kinemas on
Sundays should be very carefully noted and if insisted upon, legal advice
should be obtained. However, by the time this is published the question
whether such a condition is reasonable or not may have been decided. It
should be remembered that any conditions imposed must be reasonable,
and if they are not, or do not appear to be so, objection should at once be
taken. Licensing authorities follow one another and once a condition is
included in a licence it is very difficult to get it removed.
Reinstatement in Civil Employment
In view of the number of men and women returning to civilian life exhibitors
should consider what is required of them under the Reinstatement in Civil
Employment Act, 1944. This Act provides for the reinstatement in civil
employment of members of H.M. Forces and the Civil Defence Force after
demobilisation.
The position generally is that an employer must reinstate the man or woman
in as good a position as he or she had before joining H.M. Forces or would
have developed if he or she had not been in the Services. If it is not reasonable
and practicable to do so the person must be placed in the most favourable
occupation at the most suitable terms possible. The employer is under an
obligation to employ the person for twenty-six weeks, but if the person has
been in his continuous employment for a consecutive period of not less than
fifty-two weeks then he must be reinstated for fifty-two weeks.
If an arrangement cannot be agreed the matter can be referred to the Rein-
statement Committee, and if needs be an appeal can be made before an
umpire or deputy umpire.
Persons to Whom the Act Applies
The persons to whom the Act applies are detailed as follows : — -
(a) Male persons who after May 25, 1939, entered upon a period of whole-
time service in the armed Forces of the Crown.
(b) Female persons who after the said date entered upon a period of
whole-time service in any of the capacities mentioned in the First Schedule
to the Act, e.g., Nursing Services, etc.
(C) Persons (whether male or female) who after April 10, 1941, entered
upon a period of whole-time service in a civil defence force within the
meaning of the National Service Acts, 1939 to 1942, in consequence of an
enrolment notice under those acts.
I have been interested in several cases, which have been brought before
the umpire or deputy umpire on appeal but have found it very difficult
to get the decision of the Reinstatement Committee reversed. Employers
who have cases brought against them by late employees should take legal
advice immediately.
516 The Kincmatogyaph Year Book.
Disabled persons are dealt with by the Disabled Persons (Employment)
Act, 1944, which is still in force. This Act requires certain employers to give
employment to persons registered as handicapped by disablement. The
quota of every employer (2 per cent.) is arrived at by the application of this
percentage to the numbers of all the persons employed with certain exceptions.
Under Section 9 of the Act there is an obligation upon an employer with 20
or, more workers to give employment to registered disabled persons up to his
quota and, where he is not already doing so, at times when vacancies occur
to allocate vacancies for that purpose.
Employment of Disabled Persons
There are two schemes, under which employers have obligations :
(1) The quota scheme, which requires certain employers to employ a
proportion or quota1 of disabled persons. The employers who are subject
to the " quota " obligation are those who for the time being have, or in
accordance with normal practice and apart from transitory circumstances
would have, a total of not less than 20 employees.
This obligation is laid on each employer whether an individual or a body
corporate and applies over the total of the employers staff, irrespective
of whether they are employed in different places or establishments.
(2) The " designated employment " scheme, which reserves future
, vacancies in, certain employments for the benefit of disabled persons.
No. Order for "designated employments " has yet been made by the
Minister, but when such Order is made it will be publicly announced and a
list of the " designated employments " will be exhibited in local offices.
The object of designation is to reserve as far as possible for the entry into the
employments in question for persons registered as disabled. The restriction
applies only to new engagements for or transfers to designated employments.
It will not prevent the continued employment of non-disabled workers, who
were holding such employments before the date of the designation Order.
Both these schemes relate only to those disabled persons who are registered
as such at the local offices of the Ministry of Labour.
Every employer, subject to the quota obligation or who has any " designated
employment" must keep records and must produce them for inspection to
duly authorised officers of the Minister of Labour.
The Act deals with many other matters, amongst others, those relating to
determination of quota ; percentages ; part time and mixed employment ;
employment with more than one percentage ; or with several branches of
establishments ; and reduction in percentages.
As no doubt many points will arise on this Act any employer who is in doubt
is advised to consult the Disablement Rehabilitation Officer at the Local
Labour Exchange, who will advise as to the best means of making full use of
the services of any disabled persons who may be available.
Excess Profits Tax Refund
Questions concerning the use of excess profits tax refund for the redecorating
or re-equipping of kinemas have arisen. This matter is dealt with under
Section 40 (1) (a) of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1945, which provides that the
The Legal Outlook 517
person to whom the post-war refund is paid shall give an undertaking that the
net amount of the refund will be used in developing or re-equipping the trade
or business and until so used will remain available for that purpose.
It should be noted that the refund itself is not to be distributed or applied
for the benefit of a partner, shareholder or proprietor. It is not at all clear
as to whether re-decoration of a kinema could be described either as
" developing " or " equipping " a business.
" Development " has a wide meaning, and a panel might regard re-decora-
tion of a kinema as an act of development rather than a re-equipment, but
I feel sure the panel would deal widely and broadly in cases brought before it.
I think renewals would be allowed.
Powers of Advisory Panel
The principles upon which the panel will work and carry out the duties
laid upon it by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1945, will be found in the announce-
ment made by the Excess Profits Tax Refund Advisory Panel which can be
obtained free of charge from the Secretary to the Panel, Treasury Chambers,
Great George Street, London, S.W.I.
The purchase of anything that is necessary for expansion and development
should be allowed. The Panel will approve cases in which the refund is made
over unconditionally or as a loan for use in the original trade or business or
for use in the trade or business carried on or to be carried on by a relative of
the taxpayer. The term " relative " is defined in Section 39(2) of the Act.
It is provided that the loan is fixed for a period of at least five years and the
interest, if any is charged, is reasonable.
They will also regard as re-equipment of a trade or business any expenditure
on assets where the effect is to obtain more for less efficient buildings, plant,
machinery, equipment, etc.
The position is so complicated that readers would be well advised, should
occasion arise, to instruct an accountant or some other qualified person to
carry out the matter on their behalf.
Cinematograph Films Act
The Cinematograph Films Act of 1938 expires in 1948. This will need a
lot of amendment, and the position as to quota will require very careful
consideration. It seems to me that it would be to everyone's advantage if
the amount of quota was to be fixed for each year and not over a period. I
am glad to say quota prosecutions are very few, but it has been most difficult
to convince the Bench that the failure to comply with the quota was because
it was not commercially practicable and was beyond the Exhibitor's control.
Much comment has arisen over the development of 16 mm. film exhibitions,
but it is too early to predict what effect it will have upon the Industry.
Little Hope of Tax Relief
The matter of the Entertainment Tax and its reduction in some cases has
also arisen, but in view of the financial state of the country, I do not see how
there can be much chance of obtaining reductions. One can only wait and
hope.
518 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 b3' 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 1 , 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 be
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 1 1,
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 imposed in writing by tlu
Licensing Authority.
id) On premises used for the purpose of exhibiting films to bond-fide
purchasers— Att.-Gen. v. Vitagraph 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. 519
(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 tha 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 given
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), £1. Shorter
periods, 5s. a month (but not to exceed £\ 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).
520 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 may 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
\io 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. 521
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 £20, 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,
522 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
that 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, £5Q> 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
(b) 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 axcise 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

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

one person. (Note : Arrangements approved by the Commissioners can be

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) lor 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 from
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 the
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 first
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

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 (Karno 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 perfbrmance 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
performed in public, and the present owner of the copyright has refused to
allow republication, etc., so that the work is in effect withheld from the public.
Summary of Acts. 529
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 [Penning 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.

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, 1913. 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.

Provisions relating to Renters' quotas.
(1). — Determination of renters' quotas for period beginning 1st April 1938 and
ending 31 st March 1948.
(1) Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Act, where a renter has, in any renters'
quota period, acquired for distribution in Great Britain films which are registered as foreign long
films, or has, in any such period, so acquired films which are registered as foreign short films, then
unless—
(a) in the first case, the films which have been so acquired by him in that period and are regis-
tered as long films include films registered as British long films and also as renters' quota
films, and having a total length bearing to the total length of all the films which have
been so acquired by him in that period and are registered as long films (exclusive of films
registered only as exhibitors' quota films) a proportion not less than the proportion pre-
scribed in relation to long films by Part I of the First Schedule to this Act for that period
or, as the case may be, for the year beginning with the first day of April in which that
period falls, or
(b) in the second case, the films which have been so acquired by him in that period and are
registered as short films include films registered as British short films and also as renters'
quota films, and having a total length bearing to the total length of all the films which
have been so acquired by him in that period and are registered as short films (exclusive
of films registered only as exhibitors' quota films) a proportion not less than the proportion
prescribed in relation to short films by Part I of the said Schedule for that period or,
as the case may be, for the year beginning with the first day of April in which that period
falls,
the renter shall be guilty of a quota offence, except in a case where either the Board of Trade certify,
under the following provisions of this Part of this Act, that his failure to fulfil the relevant conditions
imposed by this subsection was due to circumstances beyond his control, or the renter proves that
fact to the satisfaction of the court.
(2) For the purpose of the preceding subsection, the length of a film shall be taken to be its
registered length ; but where a film registered as a renters' quota film is also registered as a British
long film and also as doubled or treDled for the purpose of renters' quota on the ground of its cost,

paragraph (a) of the preceding subsection as respects the quota period beginning with the first day
of April nineteen hundred and thirty-eight or either of the two renters' quota periods falling in the
year beginning with the first day of April nineteen hundred and thirty-nine or in any subsequent
year, if the aggregate of the registered lengths of the films acquired by him in that period or year,
as the case may be, for distribution in Great Britain which are registered as British long films and
also as renters' quota films bears to the aggregate of the lengths which are to be taken, for the purpose
of that paragraph, to be the lengths of those films, a proportion being less than one-half.
(3) The Board of Trade, after consulting the Cinematograph Films Council and considering its
advice in the matter, may, not later than the end of June, in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-
eight or any of the eight succeeding years, lay before Parliament the draft of an order directing —
(a) that, in relation to the renters' quota period beginning with the first day of April then
next following and in relation to any subsequent renters' quota period specified in

to be its registered length ; but where a film registered as a renters' quota film is
also registered as a British long film and also as doubled for the purpose of renters'
quota on the ground of its cost, then, subject to the following provisions of this part
of this Act, the length of the film shall be taken, for the purpose of paragraph (a)
of that subsection, to be twice its registered length " ; or
CO that, in relation to the year beginning with the said first day of April and in relation
to any subsequent year specified in the order, the proviso to subsection (2) of this
section —
(i) shall have effect as if in that proviso for the reference to one-half there were
substituted a reference to such other proportion as may be specified in the order, or
(ii) shall have no effect ;
and if, not later than the thirty-first day of July next following the date on which the draft of any
such order is laid before it, each House of Parliament resolves that the order be made, the Board
shall forthwith make the order in terms of the draft.
(4) The power conferred by the last preceding subsection to lay in draft before Parliament and
to make an order shall be construed as including a power, exercisable in the like manner and subject
to the like conditions, to lay in draft before Parliament and to make an order varying or revoking
an order having effect by virtue of that subsection :
Provided that an order varying or revoking such an order as aforesaid shall not have effect in
relation to any period prior to the first day of April next following the date on which the order is made.
(2). — Restrictions on the counting of a British film more than once, or by more
than one renter, for quota purposes.
(1) Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Act, no film registered as a British

once by the same renter or counted by any renter other than the renter who has first acquired the
film (whether before or after the commencement of this Act) for distribution in Great Britain ; and
no film so registered shall be counted for the said purpose if it has already been counted for the pur-
pose of complying with the requirements of section thirteen of the Act of 1927.
(2) Where, at any time in a renters' quota period, a renter has acquired, for distribution in a
limited area in Great Britain only, a film which is registered as a British film and also as a renters'
quota film, and which, at that time, had not been exhibited to the public at a theatre in that area,
then if throughout that period or, as the case may be, the part thereof during which he carried on
business as a renter in Great Britain —
(a) that renter has had no right to distribute in Great Britain outside that area any films
which are registered as foreign films or are registered as British films and also as renters
quota films, and
(6) no other renter has had a right to distribute the first-mentioned film in that area,
the said film may, for the purpose of the fulfilment of any relevant quota conditions as respects that
period, be counted once by the first-mentioned renter, notwithstanding that some other person is

in Great Britain consist of, or include, old films registered as British films and also as renters' quota
films, and old films registered as foreign films, he may, tor the purpose of fulfilling any relevant quota
conditions as respects that period, count once each of the said old films which is registered as a British

to) if all the registered films so acquired by him in that period (exclusive of films registered
only as exhibitors' quota films) are old films, or

(b) not less than one year has elapsed since^the end of the year in which the film was pre-
viously acquired as aforesaid by any other renter ;
and in this subsection the expression " year " means year beginning with the first day of April.
(3).- — Special provisions with respect to British films rented in foreign countries.
(1) Where, by means of such evidence (including statutory declarations) as the Board of Trade
may require, a renter carrying on business in Great Britain satisfies the Board with respect to any
film registered under Part III of this Act as a British long film and also as doubled or trebled for the
purpose of renters' quota —
(a) that in any renters' quota period the said renter has, for a price of not less than
twenty thousand pounds, acquired the film for distribution in a foreign country, and
(6) that the said renter has not acquired the film for distribution in Great Britain,
the Board may, if they think fit, give directions that in determining whether any relevant quota
conditions have been fulfilled —
(i) the film shall (except for the purpose of the proviso to subsection (2) of section one of
this Act) be treated as if, at the time when the said renter acquired it for distribution
in that foreign country, he had acquired it for distribution in Great Britain, and
(ii) any acquisition of the film by another renter for distribution in Great Britain (whether
before or after the giving of the directions) shall be disregarded.
(a) Any directions given under this section by the Board of Trade shall —
(<i) in a case where —
(i) the film to which the directions relate is registered as trebled for the purpose
of renters' quota, and
(ii) the Board are satisfied that the price paid or payable by the renter in respect
of his acquisition of the film for distribution in the foreign country is not less that
thirty thousand pounds,
include a direction that the length of the film shall, for the purpose of determining
whether any relevant quota conditions have been fulfilled by that renter in any renters'
quota period, be taken to be twice its registered length, or
(b) in any other case, include a direction that the length of the film shall, for the said purpose,
be taken to be its registered length :
Provided that, if the total length of the films which, by virtue of any directions under this section,
a renter is to be deemed for any purpose to have acquired in any renters' quota period for distribution
in Great Britain exceeds half the total length of films registered as British long films which, apart
from those directions, he must have acquired for distribution in Great Britain in order to fulfil the
relevant quota conditions as respects that period, the first-mentioned total length shall be deemed
to be reduced by the amount of the excess.
(3) If, at any time after giving any directions under this section, the Board of Trade discover
that they were misinformed as to any of the material facts by reference to which their decision to
give the directions was made, the Board may revoke the directions ; and where any such directions
are revoked, they shall be deemed never to have been given.
(4) If, and to the extent that, section one of this Act has effect subject to the modification made
therein by an order containing such a direction as is authorised by paragraph (a) of subsection (3)
of that section, this section shall have effect as if, in subsection (1) of this section, for the words
" doubled or trebled for the purpose of renters' quota " there were substituted the words "doubled
for the purpose of renters' quota or capable of being doubled under this section," and as if, in sub-
section (2) of this section, for the words "trebled for the purpose of renters' quota" there were
substituted the words "capable of being doubled under this section."
(4). — Exemption in respect of films for which demand is limited.
(1) Upon application made, with respect to a film to which this Act applies, by a renter who has,
in any renters' quota period, acquired that film for distribution in Great Britain, or who proposes to
acquire it in any such period for distribution in Great Britain, the Board of Trade, if satisfied that the
film is a long film and that it has not been exhibited to the public in Great Britain within the twelve
months immediately preceding the date on which the application was made, may, if they think fit,
direct that, suDiect to the fulfilment of the conditions set out in the following subsection, the fact
that he has, before the end of the year beginning with the said date, acquired the film for distribution
in Great Britain, shall, for the purpose ot determining whether that renter has fulfilled any quota
conditions, be disregarded.
(2) The conditions subject to which any directions given under this section in respect of a film
shall have effect are that the film must not, in the year beginning with the date of the application
upon which the directions are given—
(a) be delivered by any other renter to exhibitors in Great Britain for public exhibition
therein, or
Cinematograph Films Act, 1938. 535
(b) be exhibited to the public at more than twelve theatres in Great Britain or at more than
six theatres in the administrative county of London or
(c) be exhibited to the public at more than one theatre in Great Britain on the same day;
and if the renter delivers the film, after the end of that year, to an exhibitor for exhibition to the public
at a theatre in Great Britain, then, for the purpose of determining whether any quota conditions have
been fulfilled by him, the film shall (without prejudice to any previous effect of the directions) be
treated as if, at the time when he first so delivers it, he had acquired it for distribution in Great Britain.
(5). — Combinations of renters for quota purposes.
Upon application made to them in that behalf, the Board of Trade, if they think fit, may, in
relation to any renters' quota period, designate any two or more renters as an approved combination
for the purpose of fulfilling the quota conditions as respects that period in relation to long films ;
and if, in that period, not more than one of those renters has acquired, for distribution in Great
Britain, more than three films which are registered as long films (other than films which are registered
only as exhibitors' quota films), the preceding sections of this Act shall, so far as regards the fulfilment
of the quota conditions as respects that period in relation to long films, apply to those renters as if
they constituted together a single renter:
Provided that the preceding provisions of this section shall, in relation to the renters' quota
period beginning with the first day of April nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, have effect as if in
those provisions for the word " three " there were substituted the word " six."
(6). — Provisions with respect to films acquired and registered in different periods.
Where, for the purpose of any of the preceding provisions of this Act, it is material to determine
what films a renter has acquired in any renters' quota period, a film which he has, in that pericd
acquired for distribution in Great Britain, but which has been registered in any subsequent renters
quota period, shall be deemed to have been acquired by him as aforesaid in the renters' quota period
in which the film was registered and not in the renters' quota period in which he actually so acquired it
Provisions relating to Exhibitors' quotas.
(7). — Determination of exhibitors' quotas for period beginning 1st October 1938,
and ending 30th September 1948.
(i) Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Act, where an exhibitor has, in any
exhibitors' quota year, exhibited to the public at any theatre in Great Britain films which are regis-
tered as foreign long films, or has, in any such year, so exhibited films which are registered as foreign
short films, then, unless —
(a) in the first case, the proportion which the total length of films which have been exhibited
by him to the public at that theatre in that year, and are registered as British long films,
bears to the total length of films which have been so exhibited and are registered as
long films is at least equal to the proportion prescribed in relation to long films for that
vear by Part II of the First Schedule to this Act. or
(6) in the second case, the proportion which the totallength of films which have been exhibited
by him to the public at that theatre in that year, and are registered as British short
films, bears to the total length of films which have been so exhibited and are registered
as short films is at least equal to the proportion prescribed in relation to short films
for that year by Part II of the said Schedule,
the exhibitor shall be guilty of a quot^i offence, except in a case where either the Board of Trade certify,
under the following provisions of this Part of this Act, that his failure to fulfil the relevant conditions
imposed by this subsection was due to circumstances beyond his control, or the exhibitor proves
that fact to the satisfaction of the court.
(2) For the purpose of the preceding subsection, the total length of films of any class mentioned
in that subsection which, in any exhibitors' quota year, has been exhibited to the public at any
particular theatre shall be computed as follows, that is to sav : —
(a) the registered length of each film of that class which, in that year, has been exhibited
to the public at that theatre during the normal hours in the ordinary programme shall
be multiplied by the number of times the film has in that year been so exhibited ; and
(b) the products arrived at under paragraph (a) of this subsection shall be added together.
(3) In relation to any exhibitor who does not, in any exhibitors' quota year, exhibit registered
films to the public at any one theatre in Great Britain on more than six days nor at more than one
such theatre at the same time, the preceding provisions of this section shall have effect as if all the
registered films which had in that year been exhibited by him to the public at theatres iu"Great
Britain had been so exhibited at one such theatre.
536 The Kinematograph Year Book.
(4) For the purpose of determining whether any conditions imposed by subsection (1) of this
section have been fulfilled as respects any exhibitors' quota year, a film which was first registered
as a British film more than four years before the beginning of that year shall be disregarded, unless,
upon an application made not later than the end of that year by a renter having a right to distribute
the film in Great Britain, the Board of Trade, after consulting the Cinematograph Films Council
and considering its advice in the matter, direct that the film shall be taken into account for that
purpose.
General Provisions.

ALTERATION OF THE MONETARY QUOTA BY S.R. AND O.
NO. 2278 OF 1942. (NOVEMBER 11, 1942.)
Under the arrangement made in 1940 (S.R. & O. 1940 No. 1382) each company adopting the
scheme has to make, or acquire, the British rights of one film per 100,000 feet of imports, odd amounts
over 10,000 feet counting for this purpose as 100,000.
These films must be at least 7,000 feet in length each and must each involve a pavment of at
least £21,000 to British labour.
552
The Kinematograph Year Book.
The company has also an over-all obligation to spend on British labour a number of pounds
sterling equal to the number of feet of British film which they are liable to acquire under the footage
quota.
If, after they have made or acquired the requisite number of films as laid down above, they have
not succeeded in spending the whole of their monetary obligation, they can work this off by spending
it under the arrangement laid down in Section 3 of the Act.
Under the new arrangement each company will nave to make or acquire the British rights of
only one film in all. (The conditions regarding length and labour cost remaining unchanged.) This
will mean a total of six films to be made under the scheme by or for the American companies in any
renters' quota year. The rest of their monetary obligations can be off-set by purchases of the American
rights of British films ; but at least £20,000 must be paid for these rights if the transaction is to count
for this purpose and only half of the purchase price will count towards the monetary obligation, since
this obligation is in terms of labour costs and not total film cost. The purchase of the foreign rights
of a film for this purpose will not prevent the British renter who sells these rights from counting the
film towards his own footage quota ; but, if the British rights are counted for monetary quota, the
purchase of the foreign rights will not count.
I a company has not, at tue end of the quota year, spent the amount of money for which it is
liable, the balance remains as an obligation on it and will be added to its obligation for the following
year, remaining, if necessary, until increased opportunities for production allow it to be worked off
either on direct production or on the acquisition of foreign rights.
Illustration : In a given renters' quota year company " A"imports 300,000 feet of American film.
On a 20 per cent, quota its total monetary obligation under the present system is to spend £75,000
in British labour costs. Under the new arrangement it makes or acquires one film, the British labour
costs in which amount to, say, £25,000, and it is left with a balance of £50,000 to be off-set by the
purchase of foreign rights of British films. To satisfy this obligation, it acquires the foreign rights of
films " X," " Y " and " Z." For film " X " it pays £50,000, counting £25,000 towards obligation
for film "V" it pays £30,000, counting £15,000 towards obligation; and for film "Z" £20,000,
counting £10,000 towards obligation. Alternatively, it can acquire the foreign rights of film " Q "
for £100,000 and thereby satisfy the whole obligation in one transaction. On the basis of the foreign
footage imported in 1941-42 by the six American companies using the monetary quota, if they each
made one film costing £25,000 in British labour costs there would remain to be spent £700,000 on
the foreign rights of British films. This sum would, of course, be smaller if the labour costs of the
films were larger. Similarly it would still remain open to the Ameridan companies to make more
than one film setting off British labour costs against their total obligarion.

What's Going On Overseas
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
by JAMES P. CUNNINGHAM
MANY and varied have been the attempts to establish British films in
the American market during the past quarter of a century. We
cannot question the sincerity of any of the many approaches made
by British producers, but mainly they have failed through lack of organisations,
lack of determination, and the failure to shape the product for audience
consumption beyond the home market, with, of course, a few notable excep-
tions.
But with the approach of 1947 we find that J. Arthur Rank has achieved
that which has been the ambition of so many Britishers— the establishment
of the British motion picture in its rightful sphere on the screens of kinemas
in the United States.
Unlike many of his predecessors Rank has proceeded slowly, but surely,
with a long range vision. He has radiated, through the many persons in his
direct or indirect employment here, and through his ambassadors visiting
rrom London, a practical belief that British pictures are henceforth to be a
definite part of the American motion picture economic system. We predict
the success of Mr. Rank's predictions.
His first samples of hand-picked entrenchments in this market have been
wonderful performances. His ideas in connection with talent inter-change
have more than caught the fancy of Hollywood. This year of 1947, then, shall
be the beginning of a regular appearance of motion pictures from London on
the screens of American theatres. And we know more than one key American
film industry executive who shares our prediction.
The Industry's Major Problem
In the hands of the Federal Courts rests the future manner and method
of buying and selling motion pictures. The Federal Government's many-
yeared prosecution of the so-called major producer-distributor-exhibitor
companies (Loew's, M-G-M, Paramount, RKO, 20th Century-Fox and Warner
Brothers), on anti-trust charges, finally resolved last Fall into a determination
by the Courts on a set of trade practices.
Subsequently, independent exhibitors and the distributors filed brief,
with the Federal Courts in complaint against the Court's decision. At the
time of writing, the Federal Court in New York is weighing a decision on the
pros and cons of the independent exhibitors and the distributors. Involved
are a Court proposal to sell pictures on the " auction block," to the highest
bidder ; the elimination of " clearance " among the five distributor-circuits ;
curtailment of circuit acquisitions ; elimination of buying-and-booking
combinations ; and, possibly, a ruling ordering the major companies to
divest themselves of their theatres.
Regardless of the nature of the Court's decision, there will be an appeal
to the United States Supreme Court, which will delay the final decision six
months, more or less. But, when it comes, one can expect a formalisation of
trade procedure unlike that which has existed through the years. Already,
some film companies are experimenting with " auction bidding," in situations
where one exhibitor is complaining about the length of clearance given by a
distributor to the complainant's competitive theastre.
Overseas. 555
Governmental rules and regulations have been lifted, except on new
theatre construction, ana, because of the necessity of building homes, new
theatre erections have been delayed. Best possible guess on the resumption
of new theatre construction is sometime in the Spring of 1947, when plans,
already blue-printed, are expected to be executed for several hundred new
theatres. Really needed, however, is the remodelling of the many hundreds
of theatres which deteriorated during the war.
Pre- fabricated theatres were promised in large numbers, but the pie-
fabricated elimination of mechanics-on-the-spot threatens labour trouble.
Twentieth Century-Fox's National Theatres has been nurturing large scale
plans in this direction.
There is a renewed tendency in exhibition in America toward exploitation
and showmanship, necessary because of waning "escapist" interest in
entertainment which was prevalent in war time. On the overall, however,
the receipts of both exhibitors and distributors remain phenomenally high,
as witness the doubling of earnings of most companies during the year.
Exhibitors look for a Congressional reduction of the war-time tax of
20 per cent, to 10 per cent., in 1947. Chief complaint of exhibitors is increas-
ingly higher rentals. And, in some sections of the country there are pending
threats to boycott the product of distributing companies which allegedly
charge as much as 50 per cent, of gross receipts.
In the Labour Field
Unionisation has set in strongly at home offices and in the field branch
offices, causing a substantial increase in wages ; and theatre employees (other
than projectionists and stage hands) are trying hara to unionise. Hollywood,
which pays the highest wages to mechanics, has, for many months, been the
victim of jurisdictional strikes among various mechanics unions. But,
through it all, Hollywood has delivered product.
The " Film Companies " listed in the directory will show the extent of
the expansion in independent motion picture production both in Hollywood
and in New York. Held back for the war years by the lack of raw stock,
principally, and by studio space, ambitious artists — producers, directors
and stars — have, during the year branched into full-fledged producing
companies in a quantity not known before.

Argentina
By H. H. Wollenberg
/CONSIDERABLE progress was made in the development of the Argentinian
^^ film industry during 1946.
The latest statistics give the total number of kinemas as 1 ,636, but this
number has since been increased by further openings, particularly in the
capital, Buenos Aires, where the total has been increased to about 200.
National production, above all, shows a considerable increase. There
are at present 14 studios, eight operated by independent companies, six by
major concerns. Four additional , stages are under construction by the
latter.
In the first six months of 1946, 191 films were exhibited, including
128 U.S., 18 Mexican, 15 Argentinian, 9 Russian, 6 French, 6 Spanish, 5
British, 3 Chilean and 1 Swiss film. Major changes are foreshadowed for
1947. European films expected on the maket total 150, including 30 British,
25 French, 25 Italian and 40 Spanish films. A hundred feature films are
scheduled by Argentinian producers, as compared with 22 in 1945.
A major handicap proved to be the raw film stock supply. A decree
was published by which, for a period of six months, earlier regulations
(March 5, 1946) concerning the importation of kinematographic films prepared
in the country, had been suspended with a view to relieving the situation.
Legislation with a view to protecting home production by a quota
system, reserving 40 per cent, of the national screen time, is expected to
become law. So far, imports have been regulated as follows : unexposed
film, 32 per cent, ad valorem plus 10 per cent, additional duty ; printed films
in any language — 5 pesos in gold, plus additional 15 per cent, on the total.
The Film Arbitration Committee, which had ceased to function in
November, 1944, has been revived by Government decree.
Censorship is carried out by the Honorary Advisory Committee of
Cinematographic Control (Commission Cinematografica Honoraria de Controler)
which classifies the films for showing before various age groups — children's
performances ; family performances ; performances unsuitable for children ;
performances for adults over the age of 16. The performances must be given
in separate sections with a separate charge for admission for each group ;
a synopsis of the film, authorised by the Public Shows Office, must be handed
to every patron. Any publicity material used is also subject to official
control, and the classification of a film must be quoted in all advertising
matter and theatre programmes.

"C*ILMS ot all classes imported into Australia during the year, that is, the
■*■ number of standard films, show a reduction of 37 compared with the
previous year, according to the report of the Commonwealth Chief Film
Censor. This may be accounted for as a result of a shortage of standard
film in the United States during 1944, together with the fact that from Decem-
ber 7, 1945, to beyond the end of the year the Commonwealth censorship
was practically at a standstill owing to power restrictions. While imports
from the United States decreased by 4.9 per cent, to 50.5 per cent, of the whole
and those irom the United Kingdom decreased by 2.6 per cent, to 29.8 per
cent., imports irom other countries showed an increase of 7.5 per cent, to
19.7 per cent. ; this was due to the number of films imported by the Canadian
and French Governments and to a lesser extent to films released by the
Russian Legation at Canberra to various organisations.
Decrease in British Film Imports
Feature films imported from the United States of America showed a
slight increase of .9 per cent, to 88.4 per cent., those from the United Kingdom
a decrease of 1.7 per cent, to 7.7 per cent., whilst those from other countries
increased by .8 per cent, to 3.9 per cent.
Imports of sub-standard film into Australia showed an increase of 20.6
per cent, over the imports for the previous year, whilst the total footage
reached 76.9 per cent, of that imported during 1939. The value of the 16-mm.
sound film has beer established both as an educational and entertainment
medium during the war years, and this fact, combined with the declared
policies of certain major film importing companies, indicates that there is
likely to be a marked increase in the importation of sub-standard sound film.
The following table shows the origin of feature-length films imported
into Australia for the past four years, with percentages : — -

Of the 328 feature films, 313 (or 95.4 per cent.) were passed by the censor
without eliminations, 14 (or 4.3 per cent.) were passed with eliminations,
and only one film was rejected during the year — that is, .3 per cent, of the
total number inspected, which equals the record low in regard to both numbers
and percentage. Eliminations dropped by .6 per cent, to 4.3 per cent., as
compared with the previous year, thereby creating a new record of 95.4 per
cent, of ieature films passed in their entirety. This is regarded as a notable
sign of the improvement in film standards.
Among recent British films which may be said to have created a new
kinema-going public in Australia may be mentioned " Henry V " and
570
The Kinematograph Year Book.
"This liappy Breed." The latter ran 12 weeks at the Esquire, Sydney,
where "The Seventh Veil " also had a long run. " Madonna of the Seven
Moons " ran tor 12 weeks at the Atheneum, Melbourne, and, up to July 31,
it was estimated that the film had been seen by 140,000 people in Australia!
The latest available figures show that out ot the 1,600 Australian kinemas
987 are now " possibles " for British film placing, and 961 are actually
featuring British pictures.
Export of films shows increases of 23.4 per cent, to the British Empire
and Mandated Territories, 6.9 per cent, to the United States, and 30.5 per
cent, to other foreign countries, or a total net increase to all countries of
29.5 per cent., representing an additional 300,000 feet as compared with the
previous year. It is assumed that as a result of the production activities of
the newly created National Films Board the export figures in respect of
documentary films will be maintained.
Film Production Successes
In addition to short documentary films produced during the year, a
feature-length film, "Red Sky at Morning" (Austral American Production),
was submitted for censorship. It is hoped that the success of the feature-
length films " Smithy " (Columbia Pictures Pty., Ltd.) and " The Over-
landers " (Ealing Studios), combined with the activities of the National Films
Board, will act as a stimulant to further production. The gratifying reception
accorded " The Overlanders " in London is a good omen for Anglo- Australian
co-operation.

Bulgaria
By H. H. Wollenberg
[" EGISLATION for the establishment of a State Film Monopoly by which
■*-' the film industry in its entirety was nationalised became effective on
November 14, 1946.
From that time, film distribution was taken over by Government con-
trolled organisations. Already earlier in the year the State Film Undertaking
Bulgarsko Delo had been formed with a view to encouraging film production.
An estate in the outskirts of the capital, Sofia, was put at the disposal of
Bulgarsko Delo for the construction of studios. Soviet experts and technicians
were invited to assist.
Censorship, imports and exports and any other matters in respect of
film business are handled exclusively by and through the State Film
Administration.

HE 1946 year in Canada was a succession of unusual developments, and
events which indicated the start of substantial post-war growth, which,
however, was hampered by strikes in basic industries, shortage of building
materials and continued wartime controls of the Dominion Government,
combined with the absorption of a large share of excess profits by the Federal
treasury which might otherwise have been utilised for trade expansion.
The year was not yet old when the first surprise developed in the resigna-
tion of Paul L. Nathanson as president of Odeon Theatres of Canada, Ltd.,
Toronto, to be succeeded by Hon. J. Earl Lawson, K.C., former member
of Parliament. Lawson, an early independent exhibitor of Toronto and
identified with the film industry in various capacities over three decades,
quickly proved an able administrator and rose to new prestige.
Odeon Expansion Plans
The year closed with Canadian Odeon operating 105 theatres from coast
to coast, constructing 15 theatres in strategic locations and arranging for the
erection of 49 others as part of a four-year programme. Twice during the
12 months, John Davis, of London, managing director of the Arthur Rank
Organisation, held conferences at Toronto with Canadian associates to check
on developments. During the year the expanding Odeon circuit was separated
into Eastern and Western Divisions with C. J. Appel and Frank H. Fisher
in charge respectively.
Further, the Instructonal and Sales Productions, Ltd., Toronto, became
Queensway Studios Ltd., an Arthur Rank producing unit, at Islington,
Ontario, to which Frank O'Byrne transferred his headquarters as general
manager. There was also the formation of Gaumont-Kalee, Ltd., as a branch
of the British equipment company, following a trip to England by Oscar R.
Hanson, from Toronto as organiser. Eventually, Ed. J. Harris, became
general manager of the Canadian company which took over the servicing of
Odeon and other theatres. *
Eagle-Lion Films of Canada, Ltd., Toronto, made further progress, and a
somewhat new development with this British film enterprise was the trip to
England of A. J. Laurie, its general manager, to gain closer contact with the
industry in England.
Another British film development for Canada, apart from Eagle-Lion
interests, was the establishment of Ad glo- American Film Corporation, Ltd.,
Overseas.
573
at Toronto, by H. J. Allen, N. A. Taylor and associates, to handle distribution
for British National.
Meanwhile, Famous Players Canadian Corporation was consolidating its
post-war position, and launched an extensive theatre-building programme,
either directly or through affiliated circuits. Definite progress was made
with a 40-theatre programme, despite the handicap of short building supplies
and interfering strikes affecting the materials situation.
Production Reaches High Peak
Film production reached a comparatively high level in the year
Dominion Productions, Ltd., was formed at Toronto by J. H. Woods, and
proceeded with the making of its first feature, "Bush Pilot." Another
producing company to spring into being was Quebec Productions Corporation,
Montreal, headed by Paul L' Anglais, which launched work on " The Strong-
hold," in both English and French versions. Paramount shot " The Emperor
Waltz," in the Canadian Rockies, with Bing Crosby as the star, 20th Century-
Fox used a Quebec locale for "13 Rue Madeleine," and Samuel Goldwyn
Company was preparing the groundwork, prior to the year's end, for the
making of " Earth and High Heaven," by a Canadian authoress.
An appropriate event was the formation of the Film Producers' Association
of Canada, with Frank O'Byrne, of Toronto, as president, to provide a guiding
hand for increased production activities.
The Canadian film industry was accorded distinction when a numbei of
trade leaders were recognised in the King's Honours List at midsummer.
Those receiving decorations included Leonard W. Brockington, D. C. Coleman,
and James S. Duncan, all directors of Odeon Theatres of Canada, and President
J.J. Fitzgibbons and Jack Arthur, of Famous Players Canadian Corporation,
all of whom had contributed greatly to the war effort.

Chil.
By H. H. Wollenberg
i^'HILE has a total of 300 kinemas approximately, 240 of which are equipped
^^ for sound. Eighty-seven kinemas have a seating capacity of over
1,000 ; 108 a seating capacity between 500 and 1,000 ; and the rest under
500. Santiago, the capital, has eight first-run kinemas, only one of which,
the Metro, is owned by an American company, M-G-M. Almost all kinemas
in Chile are controlled by nine circuits. They are Cia. Chilena de Especta-
culos ; Cia. Nacional de Teatros ; Organizacion Teatral Chilena ; Pairoa
Hermanos Ltda. ; Cines Unidos S.A. ; Empresa Teatral Aconcagua ; Menedez
Hermanos ; Brieva Hermanos Ltda. ; and Organizacion Cinematografica
Martinez & Cia.
First-run exhibition in Santiago is usually on a percentage basis, but,
with few exceptions, distribution is on a flat-rate basis throughout the rest of
the country.
In most districts there is municipal legislation covering exhibitions.
This includes the prohibition of admission of children to unsuitable films,
no standing inside the cinemas and security control.
A censorship commission has been formed of members selected by
various institutions as well as one member nominated by the President.
Films are classified into two categories : for the general public and for adults
only, but on the whole, Chilean censorship is very tolerant.
The inflation and extraordinary rise in the cost of living during the war
years has resulted in an increase in admission prices by 60 per cent, approxi-
mately. For Spanish and English dialogue films, the cost is still higher.
There are several forms of tax which, together, represents approximately
16 per cent, of the gross profits.
Chile has 19 producing and distributing companies, several of which are
connected with the big kinema circuits. The large and modern studios,
Chile Films, are controlled by the Government and are at the disposal of the
various producers.

Czechoslovakia
HpHE Czechoslovakian State film monopoly has emerged in its newly
-*- organised and definite form.
Controlling all film activities is the film company, Ceskoslovenska
Filmova Spoleenost, with separate departments for production, distribution,
export and import, State kinemas, and the Czechoslovakia Film Institute.
There are also sections dealing with short films, cartoons, and film dramaturgy.
The total number of kinemas opened by the end of the year was 1,642,
approximately the pre-war figure. Prices of admission are between 6d. and
2s. 6d., including tax, ranging from 4 to '15 per cent. ; 35 per cent, of the
turnover goes to the State.
Prague's Three Studios
Film production is centred on Prague's three main studios — Barrandow,
Hostivar, and Foja — which between them have 13 stages. Those at Barran-
dow cover 5,800 sq. metres, and those at Hostivar 2,800 sq. metres. By the
end of the year 6 full-length features had been completed and production had
commenced on 9 others, including the first Czech film to be produced in
technicolor ; an historical subject with the title : " Jan Rohac z Dube."
During the year import and export agreements were made with Great
Britain, France, and Russia, but it was not until September that an agree-
ment was signed with the U.S. Films were also imported from several
smaller countries, including Switzerland and Sweden, in some cases in exchange
for Czechoslovakian pictures.
Between January and November a total of 106 films were imported,
including 46 British, 24 French, 21 Russian, 12 American, 2 Swiss, and
1 Swedish.
Denmark
By Kris Winther
A FILM commission, representative of public, cultural and trade interests,
■*"*■ was set up on January 1 1 by the Danish Ministry of Justice. The
duties of the commission will cover all questions pertaining to exhibition,
production and distribution.
It will deal with the licensing of kinemas, the support to be given to
producers of feature and also of documentary and cultural films for both
domestic and foreign consumption. The commission will also examine the
question of amusement tax as it affects motion picture interests.
The findings of the committee it is anticipated, will have great influence
upon the future importation of foreign pictures which, hitherto, has been
limited by the restriction upon the licensing of new kinemas. It is definitely
expected there will be a loosening of the present licensing system which will
ultimately make for more outlets of product.
Trade members of the commission comprise : Ebbe Neergaard, manager
of the State Film Central ; lb. Koch-Olsen, manager of Kulturfilm ; Alvin
Klinke, president of the Motion Picture Exhibitors' Association (Provinces) ;
Hjalmar Davidsen, president of the M.P.E.A. of Greater Copenhagen ; H.
Brondum, Danish Film Producers ; Leif Gamborg, president of the Danish
Film Board of Trade (Distributors) ; Olaf Fonns, Danish Actors' Association.
Both the upper and lower Houses of Parliament are represented, the
Press, Board of Taxes, Ministries of Agriculture, Foreign Affairs and Justice,
and the Police. Vice-president of the commission 'is Wilhelm Bors, of the
Ministry of Justice, who is regarded as the most knowledgeable man in
Denmark as regards the kinema industry.

The increase of the State's direct tax on ticket sales from 40 per cent, to
60 per cent, made no appreciable difference to business in Denmark during
1946. In fact, the past year has shown that there is a definite shortage
of kinemas, and the Government, aware of the position, was preparing to
grant licences for the building of new theatres.
There are 430 kinemas in Denmark with a total seating capacity of
120,108, which represents one seat for every 32 members of the population.
In Copenhagen there are 52 kinemas, with total seating capacity 37,701.
Distributors have had considerable difficulty in placing their products.
The shortage of release houses has resulted in longer runs than were normal
in 1939, and the position is such that films are getting first release in kinemas
which were considered to be second- or third-run houses. Several big " A "
pictures have been released in the provinces, before being shown in the
Metropolis — something unheard-of before the war.
British pictures steadily forged ahead and consolidated their position in
the Danish market. Up to September, when the restrictions on the import
of American products were lifted, British films headed the list with 58 releases
out of a total of 147. Of the remainder, 33 were American, 19 Swedish,
18 French, 11 Danish, 7 Russian, and 1 Norwegian.

A NNUAL kinema attendances in Ecuador are estimated to be between
■**■ 3 to 4 million ; the total population is over 3 million. There are
approximately 55 theatres in the country with total seating capacity of 55,500.
All are wired for sound.
Annual gross incomes for Quito, the capital, are estimated to be about
£33,500, and for Guayaquil (the largest city) and the rest of the country
approximately £30,600 each. About 80 per cent, of the total is derived from
U.S. productions. Eight per cent, of the gross is taken by the Government.
There are at present no quota or contingent laws, and no preference is
given to films of any one country. About 70 per cent, of the films shown in
Ecuador are U.S., 10 per cent. Mexican, 10 per cent. Argentinian and 10 per
cent. British, French, Russian and others.
Censorship committees have been set up by the Ministry of Education
for the purpose of examining films with regard to their political contents.
Censorship of the moral values of a film is left to the judgment of the dis-
tributors. Films are either accepted or rejected, but never cut. Educational
films are free from censorship.

TPHE year closed with France making a determined effort to rehabilitate her
*■ film Industry and to regain the degree of prosperity which marked the
years immediately preceding the war.
High Government taxation, however, was still a severe handicap to the
Industry ; production costs continued on the upward trend ; and equipment
of all kinds was scarce. It was too early to assess the true value of the Blum-
Byrnes agreement, but the repercussions were expected to be felt by the
whole Industry.
A much more encouraging aspect of the Trade was the fact that
there was no shortage of man-power in the French studios, and that the
average film technician is sedulous in his efforts to improve the fortunes of
the business. Nor was French creative talent more vigorous in its pursuit
of an independent conception of the motion picture arts.
Furthermore a determined effort has been made to capture foreign markets.
In this direction a network of distribution agencies has been established in
South America.
Plans were also materialising for the construction of the much-heralded
Cinema Centre at Mougins in the Riviera. Progress on the rebuilding of
France's 400 wrecked kinemas and the construction of new ones was such
that the official estimate of the total number of kinemas actually open to the
public gave a figure in excess of 5,200.
Import restrictions are now lifted, but a screen quota of 4 weeks in 13
is maintained for the production of home products.
Structure of the Industry
A radical change was made in the structure of the French Industry. A
law was passed which resulted in the fusion of the Direction-Generale du
Cinema (the Films Division of the Ministry of Information), which, under
the direction of M. Fourre-Courmercy, has controlled the industry since the
liberation, and the Office Professionnel du Cinema, which dealt with the actual
administration of the trade.
The new department is known as the Central National de la Cinemato-
graph Francaise. Its director-general, appointed by the Cabinet, after
consultations with the Trade, thus became the plenipotentiary of the French
film industry, responsible only to the Under-Secretary of State for Information.
Censorship continues to be exercised by a special Commission, presided
over by a State Counsellor, which includes delegates from seven of the National
Ministries, and seven representatives of various branches of the film industry,
patrons and critics. The ultimate responsibility resides with the Under-
Secretary of State for Information.
All film delegations established abroad were withdrawn by orders of the
Treasury.
French film workers, including producers, exhibitors, and renters are all
represented by their appropriate unions. The only notable change during
the year was the fusion between the large and small exhibitor syndicates.
This section of the industry has practically tripled its activities diiring
the past year, Official figures reveal that there are now 15,708 locations

served by 16-mm. exhibitors. No restrictions of any kind are imposed upon
the sub-standard exhibitor other than the obligation of obtaining a licence
to operate from the Ministry of Information.
The expected legislation intended to bring these itinerant exhibitors
under the same control as the 35-mm. exhibitors failed to materialise.
The Government monopoly of newsreel activities was abolished early
in 1946, but " France Actualites " is still State-controlled. All the American
newsreel companies operating in France before the war have resumed activi-
ties. Gaumont-British has an understanding with French Gaumont, and
under the aegis of Eagle-Lion Gaumont, produces a reel intended specifically
for Belgium, but which, in actual fact, passes without many material changes
in France itself.
British companies now have their representatives operating in Paris.
By far the most important firms are Eagle-Lion Gaumont, and the 50-per cent.
Korda-owned Regina Co. Mr. Fenn, who is in charge of the Embassy's
Films Division, continues to be responsible for those films introduced into
France by P. W. D., but apart from this his activities are purely non-
commercial.

586 The Kinematograph Year Book.
Germany and Austria
By H. H. Wollenberg
HPHE past year, 1946, was a year of reconstruction and reorganisation of
-*- the film industry within the British zones of both Germany and Austria.
The total number of kinemas now operating in the British zone of Germany
is 1,007. The corresponding figure for the U.S. zone was given at 690 at one
time ; the French zone has approximately 400, and in the Russian zone the
number is estimated at 1,400. In the British zone of Austria there are 151.
Dubbing of British films in German started in 1946. Eight British films
had been dubbed and presented up to mid-January. Altogether, 29 British
feature films were sent to Germany and Austria during 1946, and another
during January, 1947.
German production, under British licence, is in the hands of a German
film producers association, established in Hamburg, where studios are to be
constructed. Three German productions were completed during 1946, one
by producer-director Hellmuth Kaeutner, in Hamburg, and two by " Studio
45 " in the Tempelhof Studios, Berlin, and in the British zone round the
river Weser.
Distribution is carried out on a zonal basis, operated from Hamburg.
Laboratories are the Mars in Berlin-Spandau, the Atlantic and the Rhyth-
motone at Hamburg, 'the synchronising studio and laboratory at Gottingen,
and the Duisburg (Rhineland) laboratories.
In Vienna, there are three studios under joint Anglo-U.S. control : Rosen-
hiigel, Schonbrunn and Sievering. Between them 25 feature films are scheduled
for production.
British documentary films are imported from all sources and re-recorded
in Vienna. The newsreel and documentary production in Germany is to be
enlarged, covering the British zone.
All matters relating to film activities in the British zone, are handled in
this country by the Films Section, Control Office for Germany and Austria,
Norfolk House, St. James's Square, S.W.I (Telephone : WHItehall 4477).
Holland
By Philip de Schaap
A FTER an emotional year of struggle the Dutch film trade is considering
•**• the future with confidence. The conflict between the Nederlandsche
Bioscoop Bond and the American Motion Picture Export Association came
to an end when an agreement was signed in September, which resulted in
the reappearance of American product, handled by the Association, in the
Dutch market on January 1.
There will be keen competition for screen time during 1947. The
M.P.E.A. will release between 50 and 100 features ; Filmverkuurkantoor
Nederland have a programme for between 60 and 70, apart from
the British product to be handled by Eagle-Lion, and other British,
French and American films to be distributed by independent companies.
It is estimated that the releases for the year will comprise 50 per cent.
American, 20 to 25 per cent. British, 15 to 20 per cent. French, and the
remainder of Russian, Dutch, Czech and Swiss films.
The Nederlandsche Bioscoop Bond, the Dutch Trade organisation,
represents approximately 450 kinemas, a large number of distributing offices,
producing companies and other organisations associated with the Industry,
and is co-operating closely with the Dutch Government, through the
Ministries of Information and Education. A number of special committees
have been formed, including the Cultureele Advies Commissie (Cultural
Advice Board), which will advise the Board on the development of the trade.
Overseas. 587
There was a decline in business during 1946, but although grosses are
not as high as in 1945, they are well above the pre-war level. In spite of
high income tax, the heavy charges on distributing companies, and the 20 per
cent, tax on admission prices, the Trade is looking forward to another satis-
factory year.
British pictures have achieved notable successes. Eagle-Lion, during
its first year of existence, under the management of Job Weening, broke
box-office records with " The Seventh Veil " and " Brief Encounter," and
scored box-office hits with many others.
Building of new kinemas is restricted by the acute shortage of materials.
Loew Inc. has been granted a licence to build a large kinema in Amsterdam,
but it is expected that it will be many, many months, maybe years, before
it can be completed. The Aster Theatre (formerly UFA) at The Hague was
bought by representatives of the M.P.E.A.
Censorship remains in the hands of the Governments, but there is a
special Roman Catholic board for the Southern Catholic provinces of Brabant
and Linsburz.
There is no domestic production of feature subjects. A number of
shorts are to be made by Nederland Film, and Eagle-Lion is to produce a
series of shorts for international distribution. Newsreels are produced by
the Polygoon-Profilti and by Eagle-Lion in co-operation with Nederland
Film.
Hungary
By Andor Lafta
nPHE task of rehabilitation of the Hungarian film industry, following the
-"- liberation, was delegated by the Democratic Government to the four
main political parties, " The Small Holders," the " Social Democrats," the
" Communists," and the " Peasants " parties.
After two years these parties still dominate the film scene. Last year,
however, the Motion Picture Export Association, Ltd., known as " Mopex,"
the result of the fusion of the five major American renting houses in Budapest,
emerged as another important faction in the industry. The manager of
" Mopex " is Dr. Nicholas Paluggay, who has been with Paramount for more
than twenty years.
Following the liberation the government withdrew all kinematograph
licences, and the new licences, with only a few exceptions, were allotted to
the four political parties, each of which formed separate companies to develop
their kinema interests.
The Social Democratic Party's company is the Orient Filmiparti r.t.
(Orient Film Industry Co., Ltd.), at the head of which is Marton Keleti,
well known film director, and his assistant Bela Szlammer, a kinema director.
Mrs. Rose Szekely is in charge of distribution.
The company, apart from managing kinemas, and handling distribution
of films, is also engaged in plans for film production.
The " Hunnia " film studios, controlled by the State, are conducted by
Steve Szego, delegate of the Social-Democratic Party. The other parties,
however, are represented on its board of management.
Kisgazaa Mozgokepuzemi r.t. (The Smallholders Moving Pictures
Operating Co., Ltd.), known as " Kimort," is concerned only with the
management of kinemas. Among the larger kinemas in Budapest operated
by " Kimort," are the Forum and the Radius. The latter, however, is still
occupied by " Vigsinhaz " (" Theatre of Comedies "), since its former theatre
was completely demolished during the siege. Both these kinemas are of
the 1,000-seater class. In addition, the company controls a number of
second run kinemas of medium size.
588 The Kinematograph Year Book.
Magyar Filmiparti r.t. (Hungarian Film Industry Co., Ltd.), abbreviated
to " Mafirt," is the Communist Party's company. Established at Szeged, in
1944, by a number of young men who escaped from the Nazis, " Mafirt "
subsequently moved to Budapest and took possession of the former Hungarian
Film Industry Company's studios and kinema, the Royal Apollo. It also
took over the laboratory of Messrs. Kovacs and Faludi, and is still operating
it under its old title, " Szivarvany " (Rainbow). In addition, it acquired
control of a number of well known kinemas, including the Urania, the Scala,
and the Omnia, and a number of secondary halls.
Today, the " Mafirt " organisation, with nearly 500 employees, is
managing not only the kinemas for which it holds licences but also those of
the Trade Union and of the Partisan Society. The Urania kinema, however,
was transferred to the Soviet Export Film, under the terms of the Soviet-
Hungary Armistice Agreement. This kinema, once the property of the
U.F.A. concern, is now showing Russian films exclusively.
Apart from its kinema interests " Mafirt " has the distribution rights
for all Russian films and a number of films unclaimed by former film com-
panies, and is acting as agent for a number of others.
" Mafirt," with the co-operation of other European film enterprises, is
producing a weekly news-reel, and operates a news-kinema in the centre of
the city.
The leaders of the organisation are Steve Kovacs, general manager and
George Angyal, son of Philip Engel, managing director.
Sarl6 Kdnyves Film Szovethezet (the Sarto Book and Film Co-operative
Co.), which publishes the central organ of the Peasants Party, is under the
leadership of Dr. Zoltan Zeke. Although allowed control of a number of
kinemas the party and the Co-operative preferred to let the kinemas on lease
to their original owners or others. Thus two of Budapest's premiere-playing
kinemas, the Corso, and the D6cei, remain in the hands of the old manage-
ment. There is also a Sart6 enterprise for film distribution which is working
under the patronage of the party but which is, otherwise, an independent
firm.
Indi
la
\ SERIES of post-war problems befronted the Industry in India during the
■*"*■ past twelve months.
One of the issues which brought forth the opposition of the trade was the
proposal to dub American product with Indian dialect. The resolution,
" This conference deplores the attempts of foreign film interests to encroach
upon the coveted fields of this indigenous industry, and requests every member
in the Indian film industry not to accord any sort of co-operation or assistance
directly or indirectly to the activities of foreigners," was placed before the
All-Indian Film Conference in November by C. J. Desai and B.D. Bharucha,
and received the unanimous support of the conference.
The resolution also sought Government action to prohibit the dubbing of
foreign films in Indian languages, and nominated a committee to seek ways
and means of achieving this object.
There was a marked recession in box-office takings in some areas, par-
ticularly those from which white troops were evacuated.
Government control of film footage ceased during the year, but the possi-
bility of Indian features returning to lengths of 20,000 ft. was curbed by the
shortage of film stock, and the prices of from Rs. 1,200 to Rs. 1,400 per 1,000 ft.
in the black market.
The I.F.I., the information film unit of the Indian Government, was dis-
banded early in the year, and its assets were acquired by A. J. Patel and T.
Moylan of Central Cine Corporation.

Italy
By H. H. Wollenberg
AN embargo on the unrestricted importation of films from Dec. 31, 1946
*"*■ and new legislation stipulating that three weeks' screentime in every
quarter — a minimum of 84 days a year — shall be reserved for home production
are new measures introduced by the Government in Italy.
The new legislation also provides for an increase by 300,000,000 lire in
the funds allocated to the Film Credit Institute, through the medium of
which part of the State entertainment tax is returned to Italian producers.
If new taxation measures, under consideration, become valid, an
additional 500,000,000 lire will be derived from the Italian box-office.
The total of theatre grosses during 1946 is authoritatively estimated at
14,000 million lire, as compared with 6,500 million in 1945, when 334,000,000
attendances were recorded. This increase in takings is not only due to the
opening of new kinemas, but to currency inflation. Entertainment tax for
1946 amounted to 3,000 million lire.
In the period from August 1, 1945, to October 30, 1946, 62 feature films
were produced ; a further 9 films were then on the floor and 10 under prepara-
tion. Takings of this Italian production output are estimated at 1,500
million lire. At the same time, production costs rose considerably during
1946; according to the report of ANICA, the trade organisation, produc-
tion expenses at the beginning of 1946 had increased to 15 times the amount
of 1942. Preventive censorship is to be abolished.

Mexico
By H. H. Wollenberg
TTHE Mexican film industry is now estimated to be the third largest industry
*■ in the Americas. The total of kinemas is approximately 1,150.
Admission prices range from 2 to 6 pesos (2s. to 6s.) and from 4 to 6
pesos in first-run theatres. Sixty per cent, of the total receipts are derived
from Mexico City, the capital. Entertainment taxes are 15 per cent, of the
grosses to the Federal Government and 13 per cent, to the respective federal
states.
Kinemas by law are divided into various categories ; class AA kinemas
must show one Mexican film at least every two months. The U.S. share
of screen time has been estimated at 80 per cent., but Mexican production
has steadily been gaining ground during the last five years, and it is estimated
that 50 per cent, of the first run releases now are Mexican.
Of the 200 features announced for production in 1946, 64 had been com-
pleted within the first six months of 1946, as compared with a total of 87
features during 1945. The average cost was 85,000 dollars (^21,000 approx.)
In the course of 1946, however, symptoms of a crisis due to rising production
costs became apparent.
With the newly elected President, Miguel Aleman, who took office in
December, 1946, new far-reaching protective legislation is certain for 1947.
So far, a difference is made in import duties with regard to Spanish and
English dialogue films ; the duty on the former is 8 pesos per kilo and on the
latter 20 pesos.
Mexican films are produced with a view to export with bi-lingual produc-
tions (Spanish and English) being turned out. In addition to the Clasa and
Azteca Studios with 10 and 18 stages respectively, the Churubuscu Studios —
14 stages — and the Tepeyac Studios — 12 stages — were completed in 1946.

A TOTAL of 1,477 films of all classes, aggregating 3,916,180 feet, were
■*"*■ examined by the censorship during the year. Of this number, 101 were
passed subject to excisions, 110 were passed with the recommendation that
they were more suitable for adult audiences, and 21 were passed with the
warning that they were unsuitable for children. Only one picture (a feature
film) was rejected outright.
The countries of origin of the 372 feature films were as follows : Great
Britain, 35 ; Australia, 1 ; Russia, 1 ; U.S., 335.
While the number of British films dropped considerably, namely 36, as
against 49 last year — foreign feature films showed an increase, 336, as com-
pared with 311.
Licensing of Operators
New applications for provisional and assistant operators' licences were
considered, amounting to 133, compared with 176 for the previous seven years ;
79 new provisional licences and 104 new assistant operators' licences were
issued. This made a total of 1,291 operators and 856 assistant operators
licensed since the regulations came into force in 1938. In addition, a number
of emergency licences were issued to operators urgently required to fill
vacancies caused by manpower difficulties.
With the cessation of hostilities, the problem of rehabilitation has arisen,
and has been considered by the Kinematograph Film Operators' Licensing
Board from two aspects : the re-employment of qualified operators who
have served in the Armed Forces, and the training of assistant operators
who, had they not been absent from employment through service in the
Armed Forces, would have qualified for " A " grade licences.
The Board has now established the policy of giving preference in respect
of all vacancies arising to those operators who have had military service,
and for assistant operators a special training scheme has been evolved under
which applicants may qualify for provisional licences on the passing of an
examination and after a short period of intensive training. This scheme is
operating successfully, and appears to be a satisfactory solution to the problem
.of the rehabilitation of the assistant operator.
The following licences were issued under the Kinematograph Films Act :
Exhibitors, 455; Itinerant exhibitors, 19; Renters, 16; Storage, 10;
Miscellaneous, 16.

Norway
By Sveng Winquist
HPHERE are 29 film companies operating in Norway, each of the six major
■*■ American concerns being represented. The most recent U.S. concern to
open is RKO of which Oivind Rikheim is president and Oddvar Hageness in
charge of distribution.
British interests are handled by Kommunenes Filmcentral, which distributes
the Eagle Lion product. Russian films are released by Norsk Soviet Film.
Syncron Film is distributing Anglo-American product as well as many French
subjects.
Norwegian production still continues meagre — about 8-10 films being made
yearly. Swedish and Danish pictures predominate in the programmes.
Many British films have been displayed, among them " 2,000 Women,"
which proved one of the greatest box-office winners of the year.
A number of newsreels are in circulation. In addition to the American
reels there are the Norwegian distributed by Norsk Film, the Gaumont
British, French and Russian newsreels.
Roald Dysthe who opened the Norwegian UFA office in Oslo in 1942,
has been sent to prison for six years for Nazi activities.

T^HERE are roughly 260 kinemas with total seating capacity of 120,000 in

operation. Weekly attendances at Lima and Callao are estimated at 220,000;
90,000 for the rest of the country.
Films are classified by the Censorship Board and the Official Censor as
suitable for children, suitable for youths from 15 years of age, for adults
only and unsuitable for girls. Cuts by the censorship occur on moral rather
than political or other grounds. Censorship agreements with Chile and
Argentina, signed in 1935, provide that in each of the countries the exhibition
of films is prohibited which are considered offensive by the other signatory
power.
No restrictions or discriminations are imposed on foreign films. Spanish
speaking films are growing in popularity, and it has recently been reported
that the showing of Argentinian films has resulted in a reduction in the showing
of U.S. films by as much as 40 per cent.
There is some national production, though on a limited scale. Amauta
Films Co. was formed in 1937 ; Productora Peruana de Peliculas, S.A.,
started operating in their own studios at Magdalena ; a more recent production
company is Nacional Films del Peru with modern studios in Barranco.
Another active production company is Productora Huascaran.

Poland.
By H. H. Wollenberg
TPHE reconstruction programme put into operation by Film Polski, the
■*■ State Monopoly Undertaking, is designed as a four-year plan.
Its main aim is the rebuilding of kinemas. Its target is 2,000 kinemas
by 1950, as compared with 800 before the war. Only 120 were left intact
at the end of the war, but this figure has risen by 500. Apart from these,
mobile projection units are being put into operation in increasing numbers
from month to month.
Film Polski was established by a Government decree of November 13,
1945. The same decree provided the establishment of a Film Council,
composed of representatives of science, literature and art, social and political
organisations and local government associations to determine the general
direction of Film Polski's programme activities. A Film Institute was also
created to carry out the aims of the film monopoly.
International film relations, including imports and exports, are exclusively
handled by Film Polski. Before the war, 80 per cent, of the country's
Overseas. 595
programmes were supplied by American films. New arrangements for
American film imports were not finally settled in January of this year ; it
is understood that Film Polski wanted to allot 50 per cent, of the screen time
to American films. Only a Franco-Polish film agreement had so far been
concluded, providing for the importation of 30 new and a number of pre-war
French films.
Portugal
By H. H. Wollenberg
THE new Portuguese Film Act became law on January 1, notwithstanding
U.S. representations and a certain amount of criticism voiced by members
of the trade.
It stipulates the following principal measures : —
(1) A fund to subsidise home production : the fund is placed under the
control of the Secretariat of Information and Culture, which has been author-
ised to give financial grants to producers.
(2) Foreign films in the Portuguese language are excluded from import,
except those from Brazil.
(3) During each five-week period at least, one Portuguese feature must
be shown for one week in every theatre, with the proviso that sufficient
Portuguese productions are available.
(4) A special tax, payable by the theatres, is imposed on all foreign films,
with the rates differing for features and shorts.
South Africa
T"\EMOBILISATION, the rising cost of living, food and housing problems
*~* have had their effect on kinema attendances in South Africa, although
this has been offset to some extent by the patronage attracted by the number
of worthwhile pictures screened as a result of the deals announced at the
end of 1945. A larger number of British pictures have been shown than ever
before.
This year is noteworthy for the first serious attempt to produce full
length Afrikaans (Dutch) films. There has for some time been agitation for
bilingualism on the South African screen, and Afrikaans talkies have been
produced by independent companies. African Film Productions, however,
are now in production at their Killarney studios with the assistance of
experienced overseas technicians.
The Royal visit during 1947 will, no doubt, bring an enormous influx
of visitors to the towns en route, with a consequent boom in kinema atten-
dances, but after that showmen are expecting no better than average audiences
until living conditions become more normal.

Spain
By H. H. Wollenberg
'"pOTAL imports of feature films into Spain for the year from May 1, 1946,
■"- were fixed at 180, including 120 American films. Import duties were
established by an Order of April, 1941, by which films are classified according
to merit. An import duty of 75,000 pesetas is imposed on films of exceptional
merit ; 50,000 pesetas on good films and 25,000 pesetas on third class pictures.
It is likely that a decree proposed by the Government will result in an over-all
"dubbing tax" of 250,000 pesetas per feature.
The latest Spanish statistics, covering the war years from 1940 to 1945,
show the following import figures : 476 U.S., 165 German, 109 British,
97 Italian, 30 Mexican and 28 Argentinian films ; the number of Spanish
films during the period is given as 223.
Home production is greatly encouraged by Government, subsidies
and annual prizes, and although the annual production figure in recent years
of 150 to 180 features has gone down considerably owing to rising production
costs and difficulties in obtaining film stock, there is a marked tendency
towards better quality productions. Average production costs of 629,000
pesetas in 1939 have increased to 1,900,000 in 1944. There are 89 companies
registered as film producers, while a number of other companies make shorts,
cartoons, etc.
The Circulo de Escritores Cinematograficos (Screenwriters' Circle)
awards prizes each year for the best Spanish film, director, actors, writers,
and so on.
Production of Film Stock
During 1946 film stock production began for the first time in Spain at
Bilbao. Some 36 million feet of raw stock is required, 22 per cent, of which
is required for prints.
Spain, with a total population of over 26 million, has 3,200 kinemas,
and 249 in overseas territories. Weekly attendances are estimated to be
about 6 million ; total annual earnings are about 700 million pesetas, 200
million of which are taken by the Government in the form of taxes.
Film censorship in Spain is carried out by the Junta Superior de
Ordenacion Cinematografica (Superior Council for the Control of the Cinema),
set up by a decree of the Ministry of National Education.
The Council is also responsible for giving advice to the Spanish film
industry. It is under the control of the Director-General of the Cinema and
Theatre, who is the President, and combines the offices of the former Higher
Overseas.
597
Council for Cinema Censorship and the National Council for Cinema Cen-
sorship.
Apart from the President, the [Council includes the Secretary-General of
the Cinema and Theatre as Vice-President, the Director-General of Customs,
the Chief of the Nation Entertainments Syndicate, the President of the
Regulating Sub-Commission of the Cinema, one member appointed by the
Diocesan Bishop of Madrid and six unofficial members.
Decisions are made by a majority vote, but with regard to the moral con-
tents of films, the clerical member has the right of veto.

Switzerland
By H. H. Wollenberg
TTHE 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
legislation concerning the film. The establishment of new distributing
firms is thus practically impossible, as they would not be able to obtain a
share in the quota. The Schweizer Filmkammer, Berne (Swiss Film Chamber),
at their annual general meeting in Spring, 1946, expressed concern at the
overwhelming number of films imported since the end of the war, and called
for a gradual decrease of imports through the application of the import
regulations.
Official import figures were given for the first time in the 1945 annual
report of the Federal Department of the Interior. Between 1939 and 1944
a total of 2,171 feature films were imported; U.S., 1,111 ; France, 205 ;
Germany, 398 ; Italy, 262 ; Britain, 60 ; Sweden, 44 ; Russia, 6 ; other
countries 85. More than 600 films were imported during 1945.
Import duties for feature films reached their highest level with 123,000
Sw. Fr. as compared with the previous highest 96,300 Fr. in 1941. The total
of import duties in 1945 was 132,500 Fr.
Switzerland has 380 kinemas, according to the latest figures. These
include 223 in the German, 132 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 each of the
25 Cantons which form the Swiss Federation ; their rulings differ widely. In
March, 1946, the film censors of Switzerland had a general meeting in Zurich
and voted against the proposal to establish a centralised Federal censorship.
The total of theatres in the German and Italian speaking areas are
organised within the Schweizer Lichtspiel Theater Verband, Bahnhofstrasse
89, Zurich ; the theatres in the French speaking area in the Association Cine-
matographique Suisse Romande, with headquarters at 6, rue du Lion d'Or,
Lausanne. The renters' organisation is Film-Verleiher Verband in der
Schweiz, Erlachstrasse 21, Berne. Only members of these organisations
are permitted to distribute or exhibit films. There is also a special ruling
by which 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, Verband Schweizerischer Film-
produzenten, Rennweg 59, Zurich ; its members are essentially concerned
with the production of shorts. The two major studios are at Zurich and at
Miinchenstein (Basle).
An indication of the increase in attendance at kinemas is given by the
entertainment tax figures of Zurich. They rose to 1,520,907 Sw. Fr. in 1945,
as compared with 1,338,020 Fr. in 1944.

Turkey
By H. H. Wollenberg
rPURKEY, a country of almost 14 million inhabitants, records an average
■*■ of about 10 to 15 million kinema attendances annually.
The number of permanent kinemas in the country is roughly 187, but
during the summer months, with the addition of open-air theatres, this figure
increases to about 200 theatres altogether.
In addition to Istanbul's 56 theatres, 14 of which are first-run houses,
three new 2,000-seat kinemas were completed during the last year. Four
of the six permanent theatres in Ankara, the capital, have a seating capacity
of 1,000 ; the three open-air theatres have a seating capacity of 1,500 each.
With the exception of one kinema in Izmir, which can accommodate 2,000
spectators, seating capacity in the kinemas throughout the rest of the country
varies from 250 to 1,000.
In addition mobile projection units are in operation during suitable
seasons, while the Turkish Government is also carrying out a national-wide
scheme of civic centres, each equipped with projectors for showing entertain-
ment as well as educational films.
The two main kinema circuits in Turkey are F.I.T.A.S. (Filmcilik Turk
Anonim Sirketi), owning a number of kinemas in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir,
and L.A.L.E. (Lale Film), owning theatres in Istanbul and Izmir.
Admission prices range from 25 to 250 piastres in the towns, 15 to 40
piastres in the country, the average being the equivalent of about Is. 6d.
Almost 70 per cent, of the receipts were taken by the State in taxation, but
since the Government's devaluation measures came into force at the end of
1946, tax has been reduced to 50 per cent. Since the beginning of the war,
film censorship has been under military control. The Board of Censors is com-
posed of eight members, representing the Ministry of Internal Security,
Ministry of Education, Ministry of National Defence and the Director of
Martial Law for the Istanbul area.
Home production is as yet on a very limited scale, but there are signs of
increased activity in this field. In addition to the two existing private studios,
Halil Kamil Films and Ipecki Studios, three large studios, Fitas, Marmara
and Kemal, have recently come into operation as well as two smaller studios.
Feature film production is completely controlled by private enterprise, but
occasional shorts on educational and instructional subjects are sponsored by
the Ministry of Education.

Venezuela
By H. H. Wollenberg
"1TENEZUELA has approximately 250 kinemas, with a seating capacity of
* roughly 160,000, including 170 open-air theatres. Annual attendances
are estimated to be 6,000,000, including 2,500,000 in the Federal District.
The average admission price is about 2s. 6d. ; top admission price is about
6s. 3d. for premieres. Rental is 50 per cent, of the grosses ; tax 10 per cent.
The main theatre circuit is Cines Unidos, controlling 16 theatres, and the
ratio of films exhibited during the past three years is given as— American 40
per cent., Mexican 50 per cent., Argentinian 10 per cent. Before 1943, 75
per cent, of the films were American.
Two newly formed Venezuelan companies are Atlas Films, controlled by
Mexican interests, and Bolivar Films, founded by Venezuelan capital, which
has provided three documentaries.
So far there is no restrictive legislation on imports and no restrictions on
foreign exchange.

Back in
Our Seats
During the past year or so we have been so
fully engaged on work of National importance
that the manufacture of Cinema Seating has
had, literally, to "take a back seat." Those
Cinemas already equipped with HARRISON
SUPER SEATING will not have been unduly
disturbed by the temporary suspension of
our normal activities as Harrison Seating,
once installed, will remain sound in spring
and limb for a very long time. But new
seating equipment could not be provided
and we regret the many disappointments
created by this war-time restriction.
SAMPLES SUBMITTED
Now, however, the situation is easing and
we will soon be in production again . . .
we are "back in our seats," so to speak, for
the handling of post-war requirements. If
you are thinking about seating get in touch
with us now — and place your orders early.

"FAME IS THE SPUR.."
The new
'APERMAX' Projection Lens
As leaders in design and manufacture of Projection
lenses it is ever our aim to improve the high standard
of our products.
We, therefore, are pleased to announce our new
series — the APERMAX. Many years of research
and exhaustive testing have gone into the design, and
we feel that it is destined to be acclaimed the World's
finest Projection Lens.
The ' APER.M W wiH be the finest Projection Lens
available from any source, because of the notable
increase in light transmission and an even sharper
definition under the adverse conditions of dense colour
films and smoke-laden atmosphere. All 'APERMAX'
lenses are surface treated, being coated on all surfaces.
Focal lengths are from 4;|-7 ins. and are specially
suitable for long throws.
