Technical  Data 


PICTURE   PRESENTATION 

Panoramic  Projection.  The  aspect  ratio  of  the  standard  film  frame  of  1.33 
to  1  may  be  modified  by  masking  off  top  and  bottom  of  the  frame.  Ratios 
commonly  used  are  1.66,  1.75  and  1.85  to  1,  of  which  the  second  is  most 
general.    (See  table,  page  453). 

Conversion  from  standard  ratio  comprises  fitting  new  aperture  plates  to  the 
projectors  ;  fitting  lenses  of  shorter  focal  length  (about  J  the  previous  focus)  ; 
and  installation  of  screen  of  required  dimensions. 

CinemaScope.  The  CinemaScope  system  employs  a  non-standard  film  having 
a  picture  aperture  of  .912ins.  by  .715ins.  ;  it  carries  four  magnetic  tracks,  and 
the  perforations  are  narrower  than  usual. 

Conversion  of  equipment  comprises  fitting  magnetic  sound  heads  below 
upper  spool  boxes  ;  alteration  of  sprockets  ;  fitting  new  aperture  plates  and 
preferably  non-magnetic  film  path  components  ;  generally  new  lenses  of 
slightly  longer  focal  length  ;  anamorphic  lenses  ;  and  installation  of  curved 
screen  of  aspect  ratio  2.55  to  1. 

StereoSCOpy.  3-D  projection  necessitates  running  two  films  in  synchronism. 
Projectors  must  be  interlocked  electrically  or  mechanically.  Films  are  released 
in  3,000ft.  or  5,000ft.  reels,  necessitating  fitting  of  new  spool  boxes  and  alter- 
ation to  rewinders.  Polarising  filters  are  needed  in  front  of  lenses  ;  viewers 
must  be  provided  for  patrons.   A  screen  of  non-diffusing  type  is  required. 

Two  systems  permitting  of  3-D  projection  from  single  films  have  been 
i experimentally  demonstrated. 

SCREEN  BRIGHTNESS 

To  measure  incident  light  intensity,  mount  photometer  one-third  the  height 
of  screen,  and  take  readings  at  each  side  of  screen,  in  the  centre,  and  inter- 
mediately (five  in  all).    Average  ofjreadings  gives  light  intensity  in  foot-candles. 

BS1404  :  1953  requires  the  screen  to  have  a  reflected  brightness,  as  viewed 
from  any  seat  in  the  auditorium,  of  8  to  16  foot-lamberts.  To  attain  this 
figure  will  necessitate  with  a  new  matt  screen  an  incident  intensity  of  10  to  20 
foot-candles,  and  correspondingly  more  as  the  screen  ages.  With  a  silver  or 
beaded  screen  the  figure  will  depend  upon  the  characteristics  of  the  screen. 

The  surfaces  of  panoramic  or  CinemaScope  screens  have  directional  char- 
acteristics, therefore  installation  of  a  panoramic  screen  rarely  necessitates  any 
increase  in  illumination;  CinemaScope  generally  does,  although  not  in  proportion 
to  the  doubled  area  of  the  picture.  3-D  projection  necessitates  a  very  con- 
siderable increase,  since  against  the  added  screen  efficiency  must  be  set  an 
absorption  of  60%  to  70%  of  the  polarising  filters  and  viewers. 

STEREOPHONIC  SOUND 

Of  the  four  tracks  on  CinemaScope  film,  the  three  wider  ones  feed  into 
speakers  respectively  left,  right  and  centre  of  the  screen.  The  fourth  track 
controls  the  speakers  around  the  auditorium  ;  a  12,000  c/s  control  frequency 
mutes  these  speakers  when  they  are  not  in  use. 

Minimum  additional  equipment  comprises  magnetic  sound  heads  as  above- 
mentioned  ;  at  least  three  separate  amplifier,  channels  with  ganged  volume 
fcontrols ;  and  additional  speaker  assemblies  ei  ther  side  of  the  screen  and  in  the 
auditorium .

The  Legal  Outlook 


by    ELLIS    F.     PINKNEY,     Solicitor    to 
The  Cinematograph  Exhibitors'  Association 


THE  event  of  greatest  legal 
significance  to  the  trade  in  1954 
is  the  bringing  into  operation 
of  the  Cinematograph  Act  1952.  In 
reply  to  a  question  in  the  House  of 
Commons  on  March  4,  the  Home 
Secretary  said  that  it  was  expected 
that  the  Act  would  become  effective 
as  from  July  1,  1954. 

On  pages  508-51 1  there  will  be  found 
full  notes  of  the  cumulative  effect  of 
the  new  and  old  acts  which  will  now 
be  referred  to  as  the  Cinematograph 
Act  1909  and  1952.  Here  is  a 
summary  of  the  more  important 
points  : 

As  from  the  appointed  day,  an 
exhibitor  will  no  longer  be  able  to 
operate  without  a  licence  on 
account  of  the  fact  that  he  uses 
safety  film  exclusively.  This  is 
the  case  both  for  35mm.  and  sub- 
standard film. 

New  Cinematograph  Regulations 
dealing  with  safety  and  electrical 
matters  are  issued  in  conjunction 
with  the  Act,  and  on  the  specified 
date  previous  Home  Office  regula- 
tions are  repealed.  In  the  case, 
however,  of  any  licence  granted 
before  the  repeal  of  the  former 
regulations,  such  licence  will  not 
be  regarded  as  having  attached  to 
it  any  more  stringent  conditions 
than  existed  at  the  time  it  was 
granted. 

The  consent  of  the  licensing 
authority  must  be  obtained  for 
shows  organised  wholly  or  mainly 
for  children  and  given  after  the 
appointed  day. 

The  new  provisions  regarding  an 
exhibitor's  right  of  appeal  against 
conditions  imposed  by  a  licensing 
authority  and  in  relation  to  music 
and  dancing  licences  not  being 
required  for  kinematograph  ex- 
hibitions become  operative. 
Some  brief  notes  on  what  it  is 
expected  will  be  included  in  the 
new  regulations  appear  on  page  512. 


In  addition  to  empowering  the 
Secretary  of  State  to  make  regulations 
regarding  safety,  the  new  Act  also 
makes  provision  for  the  issue  of 
regulations  providing  for  the  health 
and  welfare  of  children  in  relation  to 
attendance  at  kinematograph  ex- 
hibitions. 

At  the  time  of  going  to  press,  the 
draft  regulations  had  not  been 
published.  A  number  of  recom- 
mendations have  been  submitted  to 
the  Home  Office  by  the  Cinema  Con- 
sultative Committee  and  it  was 
expected  that  the  regulations  would 
cover  such  points  as  the  minimum 
age  of  unaccompanied  children  for 
admission  to  kinemas  and  the 
prohibition  of  admission  of  un- 
accompanied children  to  kinemas 
after  fixed  times. 

In  the  field  of  entertainments  tax, 
a  matter  which  affected  both  ex- 
hibitors and  renters  has  been  the 
incidence  of  the  tax  in  relation  to 
the  use  of  polarised  viewers  or 
glasses  in  connection  with  3-D  films. 
At  the  time  when  it  was  the  practice 
for  glasses  to  be  hired  to  patrons,  the 
Customs  and  Excise  adhered  to  the 
view  that  the  amount  of  the  hire  fee 
constituted  part  of  the  price  of 
admission  to  the  entertainment  and 
consequently  attracted  tax. 

The  argument  in  this  case  was  that 
a  payment  for  an  admission  to  an 
entertainment  meant  an  effective 
admission  and  that  in  the  absence  of 
glasses,  the  patron  was  not  so 
admitted.  However,  this  situation 
has  been  eased  due  to  the  intro- 
duction of  viewers  which  are  sold 
outright  to  the  public.  On  the 
understanding  that  their  sale  is 
subject  to  the  following  conditions 
Customs  and  Excise  has  agreed  that 
no  liability  for  tax  arises  : — 

Admission    to    the    kinema    on 

any  specific   occasion   must   be   in

British  cinematograph  films,  and  otherwise 
to  amend  and  continue  the  Cinematograph 
Films  Act,  1938. 

(24th  March   1948.) 

DE  it  enacted  by  the  King's  most  Excellent 
Majesty,  by  and  with  the  advice  and  con- 
sent of  the  Lords  Spiritual  and  Temporal,  and 
Commons,  in  this  present  Parliament 
assembled,  and  by  the  authority  of  the  same, 
as  follows  : — 
1.     Obligation  of  exhibitors  to  show  British  films. 

(1)  Subject  to  the  provisions  of  this  Act,  an 
exhibitor  who,  in  any  quota  period,  exhibits 
registered  films  to  the  public  at  any  theatre 
in  Great  Britain  shall  include  among  the 
films  so  exhibited  such  British  films  as  are 
required  by  this  section  in  respect  of  that 
period. 

(2)  Where  the  films  exhibited  as  aforesaid  in 
any  quota  period  include  films  registered 
as  long  films,  the  film  so  exhibited  as  the 
Srst  feature  film  shall,  on  at  least  the  pre- 
scribed percentage  of  the  number  of  days 
on  which  such  films  are  so  exhibited,  be  a 
film  registered  as  a  British  film  and  as  an 
exhibitors'   quota  film. 


(3)  Where  the  films  exhibited  as  aforesaid  ii 
any  quota  period  include  films  registered 
as  short  films,  or  films  registered  as  long 
films  which  are  exhibited  otherwise  than  as 
first  feature  films,  those  films  shall,  to  the 
extent  of  at  least  the  prescribed  percentage 
of  their  total  exhibited  length,  be  films 
registered  as  British  films  and  as  exhibitors' 
quota  films. 

(4)  In  this  Act  the  expression  "  quota  period  " 
means  the  year  beginning  on  the  first  day  of 
October,  nineteen  hundred  and  forty-eight, 
and  each  succeeding  year  during  which 
this  section  is  in  force. 

(5)  The  requirements  imposed  by  this  section 
in  respect  of  any  quota  period  shall  be  com- 
plied with  separately  in  respect  of  the  first 
six  months  of  that  period  as  well  as  in  respect 
of  the  whole  of  that  period. 

(6)  If  any  exhibitor  fails  to  comply  with  any 
of  the  requirements  of  this  section,  he  shall 
be  guilty  of  a  quota  offence  unless  the  Board 
of  Trade  certify  under  the  principal  Act 
that  his  failure  was  due  to  circumstances 
beyond  his  control,  or  the  exhibitor  proves 
that  fact  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  court. 

(7)  This  section  shall  continue  in  force  until  the 
thirtieth  day  of  September,  nineteen 
hundred  and  fifty-eight,  and  shall  then  expire 

2.  Determination  of  quotas  of  British  films. 

(1)  The  Board  of  Trade  shall,  not  later  than 
the  first  day  of  July,  nineteen  hundred  and 
forty-eight,  by  order  determine  the  per- 
centages which  are  to  be  the  prescribed 
percentages  for  the  purposes  respectively 
of  subsection  (2)  and  subsection  (3)  of  the 
foregoing  section. 

(2)  Any  order  made  by  the  Board  under  this 
section  may  be  amended  by  a  subsequent 
order  made  by  the  Board  : 

Provided  that  no  such  amending  order 
shall  have  effect  in  relation  to  any  quota 
period  beginning  earlier  than  six  months 
from  the  date  on  which  it  is  made. 

(3)  Before  making  an  order  under  this  section, 
the  Board  shall  consult  the  Cinematograph 
Films  Council  and  consider  its  advice  in 
the  matter. 

(4)  The  power  of  the  Board  to  make  orders 
under  this  section  shall  be  exercised  by 
statutory  instrument  ;  and  any  such 
instrument  shall  be  of  no  effect  unless 
it  is  approved  by  resolution  of  each  House 
of  Parliament. 

3.  Supplementary  provisions  as  to  quotas. 

(1)  For  the  purposes  of  subsections  (2)  and 
(3)  of  section  one  of  this  Act,  a  film  which 
was  first  registered  as  a  British  film  more 
than  four  years  before  the  beginning  of  the 
quota  period  in  question  ?hall  be  disregarded 
unless,  upon  an  application  made  not  later 
than  the  end  of  that  period  by  a  renter 
having  a  right  to  distiibute  the  film  in  Great 
Britain,  the  Board  of  Trade,  after  consulting 
the  Cinematograph    Films  Council  and  con- 


496 


The  Kinemato graph  Year  Book. 


sidering  its  advice  in  the  matter,  direct  that 
the   film   shall   be    taken   into   account   for 
that  purpose. 
(2)  A  film  shall  be  deemed  for  the  purposes 
of    this   Act    to    be   exhibited    as   the    first 
feature  film  at  a  theatre  on  any  day — ■ 
(a)   if  it  is  the  only  long  film  exhibited  at 
that  theatre  during  the  normal  hours  in 
the  ordinary  programme  on  that  day  ; 

{b)  if  the  daily  rental  of  the  film  exceeds 
that  of  any  other  long  film  so  exhibited  ;  or 

(c)   (where   the  daily   rental  of   the    film   is 

equal    to    that    of    another   long    film    so 

exhibited,  and  is  not  less  than  that  of  any 

other  such  long  film)  if  it  is  the  last  long 

film   so   exhibited. 

(3  )  For   the   purposes   of    the    last    foregoing 

subsection,   the  total  rental  payable  by  an 

exhibitor  in  respect  of  the  exhibition  of  a 

film    at    any    theatre    during    any    period 

(whether  ascertained  by  reference  to  receipts 

or  otherwise)  shall  be  divided  by  the  number 

of  days  in  that  period  on  which  the  film  is  so 

exhibited,  and  the  sum  so  arrived  at  shall 

be  deemed  to  be   the  daily  rental  of   that 

film. 

(4)  In  computing  for  the  purposes  of  subsection 
(3)  of  section  one  of  this  Act  the  total 
exhibited  length  of  the  films  of  any  class 
exhibited  at  any  theatre  in  any  quota  period, 
or  in  the  first  six  months  of  any  quota  period, 
the  registered  length  of  each  such  film  shall 
be  multiplied  by  the  number  of  occasions 
on  which  the  film  is  so  exhibited  (otherwise 
than  as  the  first  feature  film)  during  the 
normal  hours  in  the  ordinary  programme. 

(5)  A  film  registered  as  a  British  film  which  is 
exhibited  at  a  theatre  on  any  day  shall  not 
be  deemed  for  the  purposes  of  this  Act  to 
be  exhibited  during  the  normal  hours  in  the 
ordinary  programme  unless  the  whole  of 
that  film  is  exhibited  at  least  once  between 
the  hours  of  five  and  ten  p.m. 

(6)  A  film  of  which  the  total  labour  costs  are 
less  than  ten  shillings  per  foot  shall  not  be 
registered  as  an  exhibitors'  quota  film,  and 
any  such  film  shall  be  disregarded  for  the 
purposes  of  subsection  (2)  and  (3)  of  section 
one  of  this  Act. 


4.     Exemption  and  relief  of  certain  theatres  and 

itinerant   exhibitors. 
(1)  If   the   Board   of  Trade   are   satisfied,   on 

application  made  to  them  by  an   exhibitor 

who   exhibits   films    to    the   public   at   any 

theatre   in   Great   Britain — 

(a)  that  films  are  so  exhibited  at  not  less 
than  two  other  theatres  in  the  same 
locality  in  competition  with  his  theatre  ; 
and 

(b)  that  owing  to  circumstances  beyond  the 
control  of  the  applicant  films  registered 
as  British  films  are  exhibited  at  those 
theatres  on  dates  earlier  than  the  dates  on 
which  he  is  able  to  exhibit  the  same 
films  in  his   theatre. 

the  Board  may,  if  they  think  fit,  direct  that 
in  relation  to  the  exhibition  of  films  at  the 
theatre  to  which  the  application  relates  the 
prescribed  percentage  for  the  purposes  of 
subsection  (2)  or  subsection  (3)  of  section 
one  of  this  Act  shall  be  reduced,  in  the 
case  of  such  quota  period  or  periods  as  may 
be  specified  in  the  direction,  by  such  amount 
as  may  be  so  specified: 


Provided  that  the  Board  shall  not  give 
any  such  direction  if  it  appears  to  them  that 
the  theatre  is  controlled  by  a  person  who 
controls  more  than  two  hundred  theatres 
in  Great  Britain. 

(2)  Before  giving  a  direction  under  the  last 
foregoing  subsection,  the  Board  shall  con- 
sult the  Cinematograph  Films  Council  and 
consider  its  advice  in  the  matter 

(3)  If  upon  application  made  to  them  as 
mentioned  in  subsection  (1)  of  this  section 
not  less  than  three  months  before  the 
beginning  of  any  quota  period  the  Board 
are  satisfied — 

(a)  that  the  theatre  to  which  the  application 
relates  fulfils  the  conditions  specified  in 
paragraphs  (a)  and  (b)  of  that  subsection  ; 
and 

(b)  that  the  average  net  box  office  receipts 
of  the  theatre  during  the  year  ending  six 
months  before  the  beginning  of  that  quota 
period  did  not  exceed  one  hundred  pounds 
per  week, 

the  Board  shall  direct  that  the  foregoing 
provisions  of  this  Act  shall  not  apply  to  the 
exhibition  of  films  at  that  theatre  during 
that  quota  period. 

(4)  In  relation  to  an  exhibitor  who,  in 
any  quota  period,  exhibits  registered 
films  to  the  public  at  theatres  in  Great 
Britain  (not  being  theatres  of  the  class 
described  in  subsection  (3)  of  this  section) 
but  does  not  so  exhibit  such  films  at  any  one 
such  theatre  on  more  than  six  days  during 
that  period  nor  at  more  than  one  such 
theatre  at  the  same  time,  the  foregoing 
provisions  of  this  Act  shall  have  effect  as  if 
all  the  registered  films  exhibited  bv  him  to 
the  public  at  such  theatres  in  Great  Britain 
in  that  period  were  so  exhibited  at  one 
such    theatre. 

(5)  The  reference  in  subsection  (3)  of  this 
section  to  the  net  box  office  receipts  of  a 
theatre  shall  be  construed  as  a  reference 
to  the  receipts  from  the  sale  of  seats  at  all 
performances  at  which  registered  films  are 
shown  to  the  public,  after  deduction  of 
entertainments  duty  within  the  meaning 
of  the  Finance  (New  Duties)  Act,  1916. 
(6  &  7  Geo.  5-  c.  11.) 

5.     Circuit  theatres,  etc. 

(1)  Where  application  is  made  to  the  Board  of 
Trade  for  a  licence  under  section  nine  of  the 
principal  Act  authorising  a  person  to  carry 
on  business  as  an  exhibitor  at  any  theatre, 
and  it  appears  to  the  Board  that  the  theatre 
is  controlled  by  a  person  who  controls  more 
than  two  hundred  theatres  in  Great  Britain, 
any  licence  issued  in  pursuance  of  the  appli- 
cation shall  be  issued  subject  to  the  con- 
ditions specified  in  the  next  following 
subsection. 


(2)  The  conditions  of  any  such  licence  as 
aforesaid  shall  be  such  as  appear  to  the 
Board  to  be  necessary  for  securing  that 
the  exhibitor  will,  if  so  required  by  the 
Board,  exhibit  at  the  theatre  as  first 
feature  films,  on  such  occasions  as  the  Board 
may  direct  during  the  quota  period  in 
respect  of  which  the  licence  is  granted,  no 
more  than  six  films  registered  as  British 
films    and    recommended    by    a     Selection 


Cinematograph  Films  Act,  1948.

Committee  to  be  appointed  by  the  Board  for 
the  purpose  as  being  suitable  for  such  ex- 
hibition by  reason  of  their  entertainment  value. 

(3)  A  direction  given  by  the  Board  under  any 
such  condition  as  aforesaid  shall  be  without 
prejudice  to  the  requirements  imposed  on  the 
exhibitor  by  section  one  of  this  Act,  but  any 
film  exhibited  in  compliance  with  such  a 
direction  shall  be  taken  into  account  for  the 
purposes  of  subsection  (2)  of  that  section. 

(4)  If  any  such  condition  as  aforesaid  is  not 
complied  with,  the  exhibitor  shall  be  guilty 
of  a  quota  offence  unless  the  Board  certify 
under  the  principal  Act  that  the  failure  to 
comply  therewith  was  due  to  circumstances 
beyond  the  control  of  the  exhibitor  and  of  any 
person  other  than  the  exhibitor  having  control 
of  the  theatre  in  question,  or  the  exhibitor 
proves  that  fact  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  court. 

Notwithstanding  anything  in  subsection  (3) 
of  the  said  section  nine,  if  it  appears  to  the 
Board  that  any  theatre  in  respect  of  which 
application  is  made  for  such  a  licence  as 
aforesaid  is  controlled  by  a  person  who  controls 
more  than  two  hundred  theatres  in  Great 
Britain,  the  Board  may  refuse  to  issue  a 
licence  authorising  the  applicant  to  carry  on 
business  as  an  exhibitor  at  that  theatre  unless 
it  is  shown  to  their  satisfaction — 

(a)  that  the  theatre  was  controlled  by  that 
person  on  the  first  day  of  September,  nine- 
teen hundred   and   forty-seven  ;  and 

(b)  that  any  arrangements  in  force  for  securing 
that  the  films  exhibited  at  that  theatre  are 
the  same  as  those  exhibited  at  other  theatres 
controlled  by  that  person  were  also  in  force 
on   the  said   date. 

6.  Charging  of  rentals  for  registered  films. 

(1)  The  rentals  payable  in  respect  of  all  regis- 
tered films  delivered  by  a  renter  to  an  exhibitor 
for  public  exhibition  at  a  theatre  in  Great 
Britain  during  the  continuance  in  force  of 
section  one  of  this  Act  shall  be  charged 
separately  in  respect  of  each  film  : 

Provided  that  nothing  in  this  subsection 
shall  render  unlawful  an  agreement  between 
a  renter  and  an  exhibitor  for  the  delivery 
as  aforesaid  of  two  or  more  films  at  an  inclusive 
rental,  if  the  proportion  of  the  rental  to  be 
attributed  to  each  film  is  defined  on  or  before 
the  delivery  of  those  films. 

(2)  If  any  film  of  which  the  rental  is  charged 
in  contravention  of  this  section  is  delivered 
to  an  exhibitor  as  aforesaid,  the  renter  shall 
be  guilty  of  an  offence  and  liable  on  summary 
conviction  to  a  fine  not  exceeding  fifty  pounds. 

7.  Application  to  nonstandard  films. 

(1)  Subject  to  the  provisions  of  this  section, 
this  Act  and  the  principal  Act  shall  not  apply 
to  films  other  than  standard  films,  that  is  to 
say  films  of  the  width  of  thirty-five  millimetres. 

(2)  The  Board  of  Trade  may,  after  consulting 
the  Cinematograph  Films  Council  and  con- 
sidering its  advice  in  the  matter,  make 
regulations  applying  the  provisions  of  this 
Act  and  the  principal  Act  to  films  other  than 
standard  films,  subject  to  such  exceptions  and 
modifications  as  may  be  specified  in  the 
regulations. 

(3)  The  power  of  the  Board  to  make  regulations 
under    this    section    shall    be    exercised    by 


statutory  instrument  ;  and  any  such  instru- 
ment shall  be  of  no  effect  unless  it  is  approved 
by  resolution  of  each  House  of  Parliament. 

8. — Composition  of  Cinematograph  Films  Council. 

(1)  The  constitution  of  the  Cinematograph  Films 
Council  shall  be  varied  as  follows,  that  is  to

first  feature  film   ;    and 

(d)  four  members  shall  be  appointed  as 
representing  persons  employed  by  makers, 
renters  or  exhibitors  of  British  films  instead

(2)  Any  committee  of  the  Council  may  include 
persons  who  are  not  members  of  the  Council, 
and  any  such  committee  may  co-opt  as 
additional  members  of  the  committee  such 
persons,  whether  members  of  the  Council  or 
not,  as  the  committee  may,  with  the  approval 
of  the  Council,  determine.

ably require  for  the  purpose  of  satisfying 
themselves  that  he  is  not  so  disqualified,  or

business  in  Great  Britain,  he  shall,  as  soon  as 
practicable,  notify  to  the  Board  of  Trade  the

paragraph  (c)  of  that  subsection  the  expression 
"  the  requisite  amount  of  labour  costs  "  means, 
in  relation  to  any  film — 

(a)  (in  a  case  where  the  total  labour  costs  of 
the  film  amount  to  not  less  than  thirty- 
three  thousand  seven  hundred  and  fifty 
pounds,  and  the  quotient  derived  from 
dividing  the  amount  of  the  said  total  labour 
costs  by  the  number  of  feet  comprised  in  the 
length  of  the  film  is  a  sum  of  not  less  than 
four  pounds  ten  shillings)  whichever  of  the 
two  following  amounts  is  the  less,  that  is 
to  say — 


Cinematograph  Films  Act,   1948. 


503 


(i)  the  amount  arrived  at  by  applying  the 
fraction  three-quarters  to  the  total 
labour  costs  of  the  film,  after  deducting 
therefrom,  if  the  applicant  for  regis- 
tration so  desires,  the  amount  of  any 
payment  which,  as  part  of  those  costs, 
has  been  paid  or  is  payable  in  respect 
of  the  labour  or  services  of  any  one 
person  who  was,  while  engaged  in  the 
making  of  the  film,  neither  a  British 
subject  nor  a  person  domiciled  in  some 
part  of  His  Majesty's  dominions ; 

(ii)  the  amount  arrived  at  by  applying  the 
fraction  four-fifths  to  the  total  labour 
costs  of  the  film,  after  deducting  there- 
from the  amount  of  any  payments 
which,  as  part  of  those  costs,  have  been 
paid  or  are  payable  in  respect  of  the 
labour  or  services  of  any  two  persons 
neither  of  whom  was,  while  engaged 
in  the  making  of  the  film,  a  British 
subject  or  a  person  so  domiciled,  and  at 
least  one  of  whom  was  so  engaged  in  the 
capacity  of  an  actor  or  actress,  or 

(6)  in  any  other  case,  the  amount  arrived  at 
under  sub-paragraph 

(i)  of  the  preceding  paragraph  : 

Provided  that  if,  upon  the  application  for  the 
registration,  as  a  British  film,  of  a  film  in 
respect  of  which  the  condition  imposed  by 
paragraph  (c)  of  the  preceding  subsection  is 
not  fulfilled,  the  Board  of  Trade  are  satisfied 
that  the  maker  of  the  film  took  all  reasonable 
steps  to  fulfil  the  said  condition,  and  that  the 
non-fulfilment  thereof  was  due  to  exceptional 
circumstances  beyond  his  control,  the  Board, 
if  they  think  fit,  may  direct  that  this  subsection 
shall  have  effect  in  relation  to  that  film  as 
if  in  paragraph  (a)  of  this  subsection  for  the 
words  "  three-quarters "  and  the  words 
"  four-fifths  "  there  were  respectively  sub- 
stituted the  words  "  seven-tenths  "  and  the 
words   "  three-quarters." 

(3)  If,  upon  an  application  for  the  registration 
of  a  film  as  a  British  film,  the  applicant 
requests  the  Board  of  Trade  so  to  do,  the 
Board  shall,  for  the  purpose  of  determining 
whether  the  conditions  imposed  by  this 
section  are  fulfilled  in  respect  of  the  film, 
treat  the  film  as  if  such  portions  thereof  as 
may  be  designated  by  the  applicant,  being 
portions  the  length  of  which  does  not  exceed 
in  all  ten  per  cent,  of  the  total  length  of  the 
film  or  twenty  per  cent,  of  so  much  of  its 
total  length  as  consists  of  photographs  of 
studio  scenes  (whichever  percentage  is  the 
less),  did  not  form  part  of  the  film  ;  and  in 
that  case  the  length  of  the  film  shall,  for  the 
purpose  of  the  registration  thereof,  be 
deemed  to  be  reduced  by  the  length  of  the 
portions  of  the  film  which,  by  virtue  of  this 
subsection,  are  to  be  treated  as  not  forming 
part  of  the  film. 

(4)  Every  film  registered  under  this  Part  of 
this  Act  shall,  if  the  conditions  imposed  by 
subsection  (i)  of  this  section  are  fulfilled  in 
respect  of  the  film,  be  registered  as  a  British 
film,  or,  if  these  conditions  are  not  so  fulfilled, 
be  registered  as  a  foreign  film. 


26. — Registration  of  British  films  as  exhibitors' 
quota  films. 

(l)  Every  film  registered  under  this  Part  of  this 
Act  as  a  British  film  shall  be  registered  as  an 
exhibitors    quota  film,  unless  the  total  labour 


costs  of  the  film  are  less  than  ten  shillings 
per  foot. 

27. — Power  to  disregard  items  of  labour  costs  in 

certain  circumstances. 
If,  upon  any  application  for  the  registration  of 
a  film  under  this  Part  of  this  Act,  being  an 
application  in  connection  with  which  it  is 
material  to  ascertain — 
{a)  the  labour  costs  of  the  film,  or 
(b)  the  proportion  of  those  costs  which 
represents  payments  in  respect  of  the 
labour  or  services  of  persons  of  any  particular 
class, 
it  appears  to  the  Board  of  Trade  that  any 
sum  which,  as  part  of  those  costs,  is  paid  or 
payable  in  respect  of  the  labour  or  services 
of  any  particular  person  is  so  great  as  not  to 
be  a  bona  fide  payment  by  way  of  remuneration 
for  the  labour  or  services  in  question,  the 
Board  may  direct  that  the  said  sum  shall, 
as  to  the  whole  or  any  part  of  the  amount 
thereof,  be  disregarded  in  ascertaining  the 
said  labour  costs  or  the  said  proportion  thereof, 
as  the  case  may  be. 

28. — Registration  of  serial  films. 

(1)  Subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  following 
subsection,  an  application  for  the  registration 
of  any  part  of  a  serial  film  or  series  of  films 
may  be  entertained  if  three  parts  of  the  film 
or  series  have  been  trade-shown. 

(2)  The  Board  of  Trade,  after  consulting  the 
Cinematograph  Films  Council  and  consideiing 
its  advice  in  the  matter,  may  by  order  direct 
that  the  preceding  subsection  shall  not  apply 
in  relation  to  any  such  application  for  regis- 
tration as  aforesaid  which  may  be  made 
during  the  continuance  in  force  of  the  order; 
and  any  order  under  this  subsection  may  be 
revoked  by  a  subsequent  order  of  the  Board. 

(3)  If  an  order  is  made  under  the  last  preceding 
subsection,  any  provision  contained  in  Part 
II  of  this  Act  which  qualifies,  in  relation  to 
any  serial  film  or  series  of  films,  a  restriction 
imposed  by  that  Part  of  this  Act  shall  operate 
so  as  to  qualify  that  restriction  in  relation 
only  to  the  exhibition  of  such  parts  (if  any) 
of  a  serial  film  or  series  of  films  as  are  not  the 
subject  of  applications  for  registration  made 
during  the  continuance  in  force  of  the  order. 

29. — Prohibition  of  registration  of  film  exhibited 
or  registered  before  commencement  of  Act. 

A  film  which  has  been  exhibited  in  Great  Britain 
to  the  public  before  the  commencement  of 
this  Act  or  which  has  been  duly  registered 
under  Part  II  of  the  Act  of  1927  shall  not  be 
registered  under  this  Part  of  this  Act : 

Provided  that  for  the  purposes  of  this  section  a 
film  shall  not  be  taken  to  have  been  exhibited 
to  the  public  by  reason  only  that  the  film 
has  been   trade-shown. 

30. — Corrections  of  register. 

If,  at  any  time  after  the  registration  of  a  film, 
the  Board  of  Trade,  upon  making  any  such 
inquiries  as  they  think  desirable,  are  satisfied 
that  the  film  either  ought  not  to  have  been 
registered  or  is  incorrectly  registered  in  any 
particular,  they  shall  cause  the  necessary 
deletion  or  correction  to  be  made  in  the  register 
and,  if  the  Board  think  proper,  issue  to  the 
maker  of  the  film,  or,  if  the  film  has  been 
acquired  by  a  renter  for  distribution  in  Great 
Britain,  issue  to  the  renter,  a  certificate  of 
registration  to  take  the  place  of  any  such 
certificate  previously  issued  in  respect  of  the 
film  ;  but  the  Board,  if  in  any  particular 
case  they  think  fit  so  to  do,  may  direct  that,

Cinematograph  Films  Act,  1948,  relating  to 
exhibitors'  quotas,  the  film  shall,  to  such 
extent  as  may  be  specified  in  the  direction, 
be  treated  as  if  the  deletion  or  correction  in 
the  register  had  not  been  made. 

31. — Reference  of  disputes  to  High  Court  or 
Court  of  Session. 

(1)  Any  person  who  is  aggrieved  by  any  decision 
taken  by  the  Board  of  Trade  for  the  purpose 
of  the  performance  of  their  duties  in  relation 
to  the  register,  may,  subject  to  rules  of  court, 
make  application  in  the  matter  to  the  High 
Court,  and  the  decision  of  that  court  on  any 
such  application  shall  be  final  and  not  subject 
to  appeal  to  any  other  court. 

(2)  In  relation  to  any  person  whose  principal 
place  of  business  is  in  Scotland,  the  preceding 
subsection  shall  have  effect  as  if  for  any 
reference  therein  to  the  High  Court  there  were 
substituted  a  reference  to  the  Court  of  Session. 

32. — Evidence  of  registration. 
The  registration  of  a  film  may  be  proved  by  the

of  the  person  signing  it. 

33. — Information  to  be  given  to  exhibitors  with 
respect  to  registration  of  films.

The  Cinematograph  Acts, 
1909  and  1952. 

As  from  July  1,  1954,  the  Cinematograph  Act,  1952,  comes 
into  operation .  The  1909  Act,  as  amended ,  remains  in  force 
and  below  are  printed  the  two  measures  with  explanatory 
notes.  So  far  as  possible  the  layout  is  intended  to  show 
the  manner  in  which  the  two  Acts  affect  each  other. 


CINEMATOGRAPH  ACT,  1909 

Section  I. — No  cinematograph  exhibition  (as 
defined  in  the  Cinematograph  Act,  1952)  shall 
be  given  unless  the  regulations  made  by  the 
Secretary  of  State  for  securing  safety  are 
complied  with,  or,  save  as  otherwise  expressly 
provided  by  this  Act,  elsewhere  than  in 
premises  licensed  for  the  purpose  in  accordance 
with  the  provisions  of  this  Act. 

Note. — The  opening  words  of  this  section  have 
been  amended  by  the  new  Act  with  the  result  that 
there  is  now  no  distinction  for  the  purpose  of 
licensing  between  inflammable  and  safety  film. 

Section  2.  (1)  A  county  council  may  grant 
licences  to  such  persons  as  they  think  fit  to  use 
the  premises  specified  in  the  licence  for  the 
purposes  aforesaid  on  such  terms  and  con- 
ditions and  under  such  restrictions  as,  subject 
to  regulations  of  the  Secretary  of  State,  the 
council  may  by  the  respective  licences 
determine. 

(2)  A  licence  shall  be  in  force  for  one  year 
or  for  such  shorter  period  as  the  council  on 
the  grant  of  the  licence  may  determine, 
unless  the  licence  has  been  previously 
revoked   as   hereinafter  provided. 

(3)  A  county  council  may  transfer  any  licence 
granted  by  them  to  such  other  person  as 
they  think  fit. 

(4)  An  applicant  for  a  licence  or  transfer  of  a 
licence  shall  give  not  less  than  seven  days' 
notice  in  writing  to  the  county  council  and 
to  the  chief  officer  of  police  of  the  police  area 
in  which  the  premises  are  situated  of  his 
intention  to  apply  for  a  licence  or  transfer. 

Provided  that  it  shall  not  be  necessary  to 
give  any  notice  where  the  application  is  for 
the  renewal  of  ah  existing  licence  held  by  the 
applicant  for  the  same  premises. 

(5)  There  shall  be  paid  in  respect  of  the  grant, 
renewal,  or  transfer  of  a  licence  such  fees 
as  the  county  council  may  fix,  not  exceeding 
in  the  case  of  a  grant  or  renewal  for  one 
year  one  pound,  or  in  the  case  of  a  grant  or 
renewal  for  any  less  period  five  shillings  for 
every  month  for  which  it  is  granted  or 
renewed,  so  however  that  the  aggregate  of 
the  fees  payable  in  any  year  shall  not  exceed 
one  pound,  or,  in  the  case  of  transfer,  five 
shillings. 

(6)  For  the  purposes  of  this  Act,  the  ex- 
pressions "police  area"  and  "chief  officer 
of  police,"  as  respects  the  city  of  London, 
mean  the  city  and  the  Commissioner  of 
City  Police,  and  elsewhere  have  the  same 
meanings  as  in  the  Police  Act,  1890. 


CINEMATOGRAPH   ACT,   1952 

Section  1.  Subject  to  the  provisions  of  section 
seven  of  the  Act  of  1909  and  to  the  exemptions 
hereinafter  provided,  the  said  Act  and  (except 
so  far  as  they  otherwise  provide)  any  regula- 
tions made  thereunder  shall  apply  as  respects 
all  cinematograph  exhibitions,  whether  given 
by  means  involving  the  use  of  inflammable 
films  or  non-inflammable  films,  or  by  means 
not  involving  the  use  of  films. 

Note. — The  above  section  requires  the  licensing 
of  exhibitions  given  by  means  of  television  as  well 
as  by  means  of  film. 

Section  2.  (1)  The  matters  for  which  provision 
may  be  made  by  the  regulations  of  the 
Secretary  of  State  under  the  Act  of  1909  shall 
be  the  following : — 

(a)  safety,  in  connection  with  the  giving  of 
cinematograph  exhibitions  (including 
the  keeping  and  handling,  in  premises 
where  other  entertainments  are  being 
given  or  meetings  held,  of  cinematograph 
film  used  or  to  be  used  for  the  purposes 
of  cinematograph  exhibitions  or  other 
articles  or  equipment  so  used  or  to  be 
used)  ; 

(b)  the  health  and  welfare  of  children  in 
relation  to  attendance  at  cinematograph 
exhibitions. 

(2)  Any  statutory  instrument  containing  such 
regulations  as  aforesaid  shall  be  subject  to 
annulment  in  pursuance  of  a  resolution  of 
either  House  of  Parliament. 

Note. — This  section  deals  only  with  those 
matters  in  relation  to  which  Home  Office  Regulations 
may  be  made.  Such  regulations  may  now  apply  to 
exhibitions  of  both  inflammable  and  non-inflam- 
mable. Whether  or  not  a  film  is  inflammable  is  a 
question  of  fact  for  the  court  to  determine  though 
most  licensing  authorities  treat  safety  stock  as 
non-inflammable. 

Section  3.  (1)  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 
licensing  authority,  in  granting  a  licence 
under  the  Act  of  1909  as  respects  any 
premises, — 

(a)  to  impose  conditions  or  restrictions  pro- 
hibiting the  admission  of  children  to 
cinematograph  exhibitions  involving 
the  showing  of  works  designated,  by  the 
licensing  authority  or  such  other  body

Cinematograph  Acts,  1909  and  1952. 


509 


Cinematograph  Act,  1909— contd. 

Note. — Until  the  operation  of  the  new  Act,  the 
Scottish  courts  held  that  the  licensing  authority 
could  only  impose  conditions  as  regard  to  safety. 
The  title  to  the  old  Act  has  been  amended  so  that  it 
now  "regulates"  cinematograph  exhibitions,  which 
coupled  with  Si  of  the  1952  Act  will  change  the 
law  in  Scotland. 

Section  3.  If  the  owner  of  any  apparatus  uses 
the  apparatus,  or  allows  it  to  be  used,  or  if 
the  occupier  of  any  premises  allows  those 
premises  to  be  used,  in  contravention  of  the 
provisions  of  this  Act  or  the  regulations  made 
thereunder,  or  of  the  conditions  or  restrictions 
upon  or  subject  to  which  any  licence  relating 
to  the  premises  has  been  granted  under  this 
Act,  he  shall  be  liable,  on  summary  conviction, 
to  a  fine  not  exceeding  twenty  pounds,  and  in 
the  case  of  a  continuing  offence  to  a  further 
penalty  of  five  pounds  for  each  day  during 
which  the  offence  continues,  and  the  licence 
(if  any)  shall  be  liable  to  be  revoked  by  the 
county  council. 

Note. — This  section  has  been  amended  to  cover 
any  apparatus  which  would  include  television. 
There  has  been  no  change  in  the  penalties  the  court 
can  award.  It  should  be  noticed  that  under  this 
Section  penalties  may  be  inflicted  on  either  the 
owner  or  occupier  of  the  kinema  who  may  be  a 
person  or  concern  other  than  the  licensee. 

Section  4.  A  constable  or  any  officer  appointed 
for  the  purpose  by  a  county  council  may  at  all 
reasonable  times  enter  any  premises,  whether 
licensed  or  not,  in  which  he  has  reason  to 
believe  that  such  an  exhibition  as  aforesaid  is 
being  or  is  about  to  be  given,  with  a  view  to 
seeing  whether  the  provisions  of  this  Act  and 
any  restrictions  subject  to  which  any  licence 
has  been  so  granted  or  any  regulations  made 
thereunder,  and  the  conditions  of  any  licence 
granted  under  this  Act,  have  been  complied 
with,  and,  if  any  person  prevents  or  obstructs 
the  entry  of  a  constable  or  any  officer  ap- 
pointed as  aforesaid,  he  shall  be  liable,  on 
summary  conviction,  to  a  penalty  not  ex- 
ceeding twenty  pounds. 

Section  5.  Refers  to  power  of  county  councils 
to  delegate  licensing  powers  to  local  magis- 
trates. 


Section  6.  County  boroughs  to  have  similar 
licensing  powers  to  county  councils. 

Section  7. — (1)  Where  the  premises  are  premises 
licensed  by  the  Lord  Chamberlain  the  powers 
of  the  county  council  under  this  Act  shall, 
as  respects  those  premises,  be  exerciseable  by 
the  Lord  Chamberlain  instead  of  by  the 
county  council. 

(2)  Where  the  premises  in  which  it  is  proposed 
to  give  such  an  exhibition  as  aforesaid  are 
premises  used  occasionally  and  exception- 
ally only,  and  not  on  more  than  six  days  in 
any  one  calendar  year,  for  the  purposes  of 
such  an  exhibition,  it  shall  not.be  necessary 
to  obtain  a  licence  for  those  premises 
under  this  Act  if  the  occupier  thereof  has 
given  to  the  county  council  and  to  the  chief 
officer  of  police  of  the  police  area,  not  less 
than  seven  days  before  the  exhibition, 
notice  in  writing  of  his  intention  so,  to  use 


Cinematograph  Act,  1952— contd. 

graph  exhibitions  involving  the  showing 
of  works  designated  by  the  authority  or 
such  other  body  as  aforesaid  as  of  such 
other  description  as  may  be  specified  in 
the  licence. 
(2)  Neither   the    last    foregoing   section    nor 
subsection  (i)  of  this  section  shall  be  con- 
strued as  derogating  from  the  generality 
of  the  power  of  the  licensing  authority,  as 
respects  any  premises,  to  impose  conditions 
or  restrictions. 
Note. — This  section  makes  it  obligatory   on  the 
licensing   authority  to   impose  certain  conditions 
apart  from  such  other  conditions  or  restrictions  as 
the  authority  already  had  power  to   make  under 
S2(i)  .of  the  1909  Act.     The  general  position   in 
relation  to  the   discretionary   powers    of  licensing 
authorities    in    granting    licences    and    imposing 
conditions  remains  subject   to   the    very  impor- 
tant section  regarding  appeals  included  later. 

Section  4.  (1)  Subject  to  the  provisions  of  this 
Act,  no  premises  shall  be  used,  except  with  the 
consent  of  the  licensing  authority,  for  a 
cinematograph  exhibition  organised  wholly  or 
mainly  as  an  exhibition  for  children. 

(2)  Subject  to  the  regulations  of  the  Secretary 
of  State  under  the  Act  of  1909,  and  without 
prejudice  to  any  conditions  or  restrictions 
imposed  by  the  licensing  authority  on  the 
granting  of  a  licence,  the  authority  may 
impose  special  conditions  or  restrictions  on  the 
granting  of  any  consent  under  this  section. 

(3)  Subsections  (2)  to  (5}  of  section  two  of  the 
Act  of  1909  (which  contain  supplemental 
provisions  as  to  licences)  shall  with  the 
necessary  modifications  apply  for  the 
purposes  of  this  section  as  they  apply  for 
the  purposes  of  the  said  section  two  ;  and 
sections  three  and  four  of  that  Act  (which 
impose  penalties  and  confer  powers  of  entry 
for  purposes  of  inspection)  shall  have  effect 
as  if  references  to  that  Act  included 
references  to  this  section  and  references  to 
licences  included  references  to  consents. 

Note. — This  section,  which  is  now  important 
and  empowers  the  licensing  authority  to  impose 
special  conditions  in  the  case  of  children's  perfor- 
mances as  well  as  requiring  the  exhibitor  to  obtain 
special  consent  for  such  performances.  There  is  a 
right  of  appeal  to  quarter  sessions  against  refusal 
of  consent  or  against  conditions  or  restrictions 
imposed. 

Section  5.  (1)  The  following  exemptions  shall 
have  effect  in  the  case  of  cinematograph 
exhibitions  (hereinafter  referred  to  as 
"exempted  exhibitions")  to  which  the  public 
are  not  admitted  or  to  which  the  public  are 
admitted  without  payment,  that  is  to  say : — 

(a)  a  licence  under  the  Act  of  1909  shall 
not  be  required  by  reason  only  of  the 
giving  of  an  exempted  exhibition,  and 
for  the  purposes  of  subsection  (2)  of 
section  seven  of  that  Act  (which 
exempts  premises  used  only  occasionally 
for  cinematograph  exhibitions)  the 
giving  in  any  premises  of  an  exempted 
exhibition  shall  be  disregarded  ; 

(b)  section  four  of  this  Act  shall  not  apply 
to  an  exempted  exhibition  ; 

(c)  regulations  made  by  the  Secretary  of 
State  under  the  Act  of  1909,  being 
regulations  made  by  virtue  of  paragraph

the  premises,  and  complies  with  the  regula- 
tions made  by  the  Secretary  of  State  under 
this  Act,  and,  subject  to  such  regulations, 
with  any  conditions  imposed  by  the  county 
council,  and  notified  to  the  occupier  in 
writing. 

(3)  Where  it  is  proposed  to  give  any  such 
exhibition  as  aforesaid  in  any  building  or 
structure  of  a  moveable  character,  it  shall 
not  be  necessary  to  obtain  a  licence  under 
this  Act  from  the  council  of  the  county 
in  which  the  exhibition  is  to  be  given  if 
the  owner  of  the  building  or  structure  : — 

(a)  has  been  granted  a  licence  in  respect  of 
that  building  or  structure  by  the 
council  of  the  county  in  which  he 
ordinarily  resides,  or  by  any  authority 
to  whom  that  council  may  have 
delegated  the  powers  conferred  on 
them  by  this  Act ;  and 

(b)  has  given  to  the  council  of  the  county 
and  to  the  chief  officer  of  police  of  the 
police  area  in  which  it  is  proposed  to  give 
the  exhibition,  not  less  than  two  days 
before  the  exhibition,  notice  in  writing 


of  his  intention  to  give  the  exhibition  ; 
and 
(c)  complies  with  the  regulations  made  by 
the  Secretary  of  State  under  this  Act, 
and,  subject  to  such  regulations,  with 
any  conditions  imposed  by  the  county 
council,  and  notified  in  writing  to  the 
owner. 

(4)  This  Act  shall  not  apply  to  an  exhibition 
given  in  a  private  dwelling-house  to  which 
the  public  are  not  admitted,  whether  on 
payment   or  otherwise. 

Note. — This  section  has   been  widened  by  S$ 
of  the  1952  Act. 

Section  8. — Deals  with  application  of  Act  to 
Scotland  with  suitable  modification  as  to 
authorities   concerned. 


Section    9.     Deals    with    application    of  Act  to 
Ireland,  etc.

i.e.,  January  i.  1910. 


Cinematograph  Act,  1952— contd. 


(b)  of  subsection  (i)  of  section  two  of 
this  Act,  shall  not  apply  in  relation  to  an 
exempted  exhibition,  and  regulations 
made  by  the  Secretary  of  State  under 
that  Act,  being  regulations  made  by 
virtue  of  paragraph  (a)  of  the  said 
subsection  (i),  shall  not  apply  in  relation 
to  an  exempted  exhibition  unless  given 
in  premises  in  respect  of  which  a  licence 
under  the  Act  of  1909  is  in  force  ; 

(d)  in  connection  with  the  giving  of  an 
exempted  exhibition  in  premises  in 
respect  of  which  a  licence  under  the  Act 
of  1909  is  in  force  no  condition  or 
restriction  on  or  subject  to  which  the 
licence  was  granted  shall  apply  except 
in  so  far  as  it  relates  to  the  matters 
specified  in  paragraph  (a)  of  subsection 
(1)  of  section  two  of  this  Act  : 

Provided  that  (without  prejudice  to  the 
operation  of  paragraph  (d)  of  this  subsection) 
paragraph  (a)  thereof  shall  not  have  effect  in 
the  case  of  exhibitions  where  the  pictures  are 
produced  by  means  specified  by  regulations  of 
the  Secretary  of  State  under  the  Act  of  1909  as 
means  involving  risk  such  that  it  is  inexpedient 
that  the  said  paragraph  (a)  should  have  effect. 

(2)  For  the  purposes  of  this  section  an 
exhibition  shall  not  be  treated  as  an 
exempted  exhibition  if  organised  wholly 
or  mainly  as  an  exhibition  for  children  who 
are  members  of  a  club,  society  or  association 
the  principal  object  of  which  is  attendance 
at  cinematograph  exhibitions,  so  however 
that  this  subsection  shall  not  apply  to  any 
exhibition  given  in  a  private  dwelling-house 
or  any  exhibition  given  as  part  of  the 
activities  of  an  educational  or  religious 
institution. 

(3)  Subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  last  fore- 
going subsection  an  exhibition  given  by  an 


exempted  organisation  in  any  premises 
shall  be  treated  for  the  purposes  of  this 
section  as  an  exempted  exhibition,  not- 
withstanding payment  for  admission 
thereto  : 

Provided  that  an  exhibition  shall  not  be 
treated  for  those  purposes  as  an  exempted 
exhibition  by  virtue  of  this  subsection  if  on 
more  than  three  out  of  the  last  preceding 
seven  days  the  premises  in  question  were 
used  for  the  giving  of  a  cinematograph 
exhibition  which  fell  to  be  treated  as  an 
exempted  exhibition  by  virtue  of  this 
subsection. 
(4)  In  the  last  foregoing  subsection  the 
expression  "  exempted  organisation  " 
means  a  society,  institution,  committee  or 
other  organisation  as  respects  which  there 
is  in  force  at  the  time  of  the  exhibition  in 
question  a  certificate  of  the  Commissioners 
of  Customs  and  Excise  certifying  that  the 
Commissioners  are  satisfied  that  the 
organisation  is  not  conducted  or  established 
for  profit. 

Note. — Careful  note  should  be  taken  of  sub 
clause  (2),  the  effect  of  which  is  that  children's  club 
matinees  are  not  to  be  treated  as  exempted  exhi- 
bitions even  if  the  general  public  are  not  admitted. 
The  cases  where  exempted  exhibitions,  i.e.,  free 
or  private  ones,  are  given  in  a  licensed  cinema 
particular  attention  should  be  paid  to  SS  (i)  (e)  and 
(d). 

Section  6.     (1)  Any  person  aggrieved- 
fa)  by  the  refusal  or  revocation  of  a  licence 

under  the  Act  of  1909  or  of  a  consent 

under  section  four  of  this  Act,  or 
(b)  by  any  terms,  conditions  and  restrictions 

on  or  subject  to  which  such  a  licence  or 

consent  is  granted, 

may  appeal  to  quarter  sessions.

(2)  Section  thirty-one  of  the  Summary 
Jursidiction  Act,  1879  (which  relates  to 
appeals  from  courts  of  summary  jurisdiction 
to  courts  of  quarter  sessions)  shall,  with  the 
necessary  modifications,  apply  in  relation 
to  any  appeal  under  this  section  as  if  the 
decision  against  which  the  appeal  is  brought 
were  an  order  of  a  court  of  summary 
jurisdiction. 

(3)  Where  the  decision  in  question  is  given 
on  an  application  of  which  (in  accordance 
with  subsection  (4)  of  section  two  of  the 
Act  of  1909)  notice  was  required  to  be  given 
to  a  chief  officer  of  police,  any  notice  of 
appeal  under  this  section  against  that 
decision  shall  be  given  to  that  officer  as  well 
as  to  any  other  person  to  whom  it  is  required 
to  be  given  apart  from  this  subsection. 

(4)  Where  a  licence  under  the  Act  of  1909,  or  a 
consent  under  section  four  of  this  Act,  is 
revoked,  the  licence  or  consent  shall  be 
deemed  to  remain  in  force  during  the  period 
within  which  an  appeal  under  this  section 
may  be  brought  and,  if  such  an  appeal  is 
brought,  until  the  determination  or 
abandonment  of  the  appeal. 

(5)  In  the  application  of  this  section  to 
Scotland  there  shall  be  substituted  for  the 
reference  to  quarter  sessions  a  reference 
to  the  sheriff,  and  subsection  (2)  shall  be 
omitted. 

Section  7.     (1)  A  licence  shall  not  be  required 
for  any  premises  under  any  enactment  for  the 
regulation  of  places  kept'  or  ordinarily  used 
for  public  dancing,  singing,  music  or  other 
public  entertainment  of  the  like  kind  by  reason 
only  of  the  giving  of  a  cinematograph  exhibi- 
tion which  includes  representations  of  persons 
playing  music,  dancing  or  singing  or  which 
otherwise  includes  oris  accompanied  by  music. 
(2)  For  the  purposes  of  this  section  any  music 
played  in  any  premises  by  way  of  intro- 
duction to,  in  any  interval  between  parts  of, 
or  by  way  of  conclusion  of,  a  cinematograph 
exhibition  or  in  the  interval  between  two 
cinematograph  exhibitions  shall  be  treated 
as  music  accompanying  the  exhibition  or 
exhibitions,  as  the  case  may  be,  if  the  total 
time  taken  by  music  so  played  on  any  day 
amounts  to  less  than  one  quarter  of  the 
total   time   taken   by   the   cinematograph 
exhibition    or    exhibitions    given    in    the 
premises  on  that  day. 
Note. — The   limitation    on   time    occupied    by 
interval  music  should  be  noted  if  the  exemption 
from  the  requirement  for  a  music  and  dancing 
licence  is  to  be  claimed. 

If  the  cinema  is  occasionally  used  for  concerts  or 
other  similar  functions  or  cine  variety  is  staged  a 
licence  will  be  necessary. 

Section  8.  The  Act  of  1909  shall  have  effect 
subject  to  the  amendments  specified  in  the 
Schedule  to  this  Act,  being  minor  amendments

The   Kinemato graph    Year   Book. 


HOME  OFFICE  REGULATIONS 


TN  the  House  of  Commons  on  March  4,  1954. 
-^-the  Home  Secretary  stated  that  it  was  hoped 
to  bring  into  operation  the  Cinematograph  Act, 
1952  on  July  1,  1954.  The  new  Cinematograph 
Regulations  to  be  issued  by  the  Home  Office 
will  then  become  effective  but  at  the  time  of 
going  to  press  these  had  not  been  published. 

When  the  new  regulations  become  effective, 
the  previous  regulations  SR  &  O  1923  No.  938 
as  amended,  and  Statutory  Instrument  1950 
No.  2133  as  amended  will  be  repealed.  But 
any  licence  granted  prior  to  the  repeal  will  not 
be  subject  to  any  more  stringent  conditions 
than  may  have  been  imposed  at  the  time  it  was 
granted. 

Separate  sets  of  conditions  will  be  issued  for 
(a)  England  and  Wales,  and  (b)  Scotland. 

The  expectation  is  that  the  new  regulations 
will  fall  into  separate  sections  as  follows  : — 

A.  Regulations  applicable  to  all  Cine- 
matograph Exhibitions. — These  will  apply  to 
all  kinematograph  exhibitions  for  which  a 
licence  under  the  Cinematograph  Acts  1909 
and  1952  is  required  irrespective  of  whether 
the  film  used  is  (a)  inflammable  or  safety,  or 
(b)   35mm.  or  sub-standard.   .It  is  expected 


that  matters  covered  will  be  the  provision, 
construction  and  marking  of  exits,  the 
arrangement  of  seating  and  gangways,  the 
provision  and  duties  of  attendants,  fire  pre- 
cautions, the  construction  and  operation  of 
projection  rooms  and  projection  apparatus, 
the  use  of  projectors  situate  in  the  auditorium, 
the  structure  of  the  premises,  lighting  and 
various  electrical  requirements. 

B.  Additional  regulations  applicable  when 
inflammable  film  is  used. — These  regulations 
will  apply  when  film  other  than  safety  stock 
is  used  and  in  effect  will  require  to  be  observed 
in  all  kinemas  in  which  inflammable  film  is 
used  only  for  occasional  shows.  Matters 
dealt  with  are  likely  to  include  special  safety 
precautions  for  projection  and  rewind  rooms 
and  electrical  and  projection  apparatus. 

C.  Regulations  applicable  to  occasional 
performances. — In  certain  cases  it  is  probable 
that  some  of  the  ordinary  regulations  will  be 
relaxed,  dependent  on  the  seating  capacity 
provided  and  the  frequency  of  the  occasional 
exhibitions  on  the  premises  in  question. 

D.  Addition  regulations  will  have  to  be 
observed  when  television  exhibitions  are  given. 


THE  LEGAL  OUTLOOK-continued  from  page  494. 


no  way  conditional  on  the  purchase 
of  viewers. 

Persons  admitted  to  the  kinema 
must  be  recognised  as  having  the 
right  to  use  viewers  already  in 
their  possession. 

The  sale  of  viewers  must  be  an 
outright  sale,  i.e.  under  no  cir- 
cumstances (except  voluntary 
abandonment  of  the  viewers  on 
the  premises)  will  the  exhibitor 
take  back  the  viewers  into  his 
possession. 

The  introduction  in  the  House  of 
Commons  of  the  Landlord  and 
Tenant  Bill  will,  as  and  when  the 
Bill  becomes  law,  go  a  long  way  to 
clearing  up  a  matter  of  doubt  in 
relation  to  the  right  of  a  lessee 
exhibitor  to  claim  security  of  tenure 
of  his  kinema.  Under  the  Landlord 
and  Tenant  Act,  1927,  the  position 
of  a  kinema  was  by  no  means  clear. 
It  is  intended  that  the  new  Bill 
should  apply  to  all  business  premises 
which  includes  premises  occupied  by 
a  tenant  wholly  or  partly  for  the 
purpose  of  a  business  carried  on  by 
him. 

The  Bill  provides  that  in  the 
absence  of  agreement  between  the 
parties  the  Court  shall  have  power 
to   order   a   new   tenancy   of   up   to 


fourteen  years  and  at  the  same  time 
to  state  the  conditions  applicable 
and  rent  payable.  In  fixing  the 
rent,  the  Court  is  to  pay  regard  to 
what  might  reasonably  be  expected 
to  be  the  rent  of  the  premises  if  let 
in  the  open  market  by  a  willing 
landlord. 

For  those  exhibitors  or  potential 
exhibitors  who  have  been  looking 
forward  to  the  day  when  the  building 
of  new  kinemas  becomes  generally 
possible,  the  passing  of  the  Town  and 
Country  Planning  Act,  1953,  will  be 
a  welcome  step.  Under  that  Act, 
development  charges  for  new  con- 
struction begun  on  or  after  November 
18,  1952,  were  abolished.  Not  only 
does  this  affect  new  buildings  but 
also  alterations  to  existing  buildings 
or  the  change  of  use  of  buildings. 

The  greater  part  of  the  Town  and 
Country  Planning  Act,  1947  however, 
remains  in  force  including  the  provi- 
sions and  regulations  regarding  the 
display  of  advertisements.  Planning 
permission  is  required  for  all  outside 
poster  sites  and  that  permission  can 
be  refused  on  the  grounds  of  amenity, 
safety,  etc.  Permission  when  granted, 
however,  is  normally  of  three  years' 
duration.

ENTERTAINMENTS  TAX 


The  existing  scale  of  Entertainments  Duty 
applicable  to  Kinemas  as  provided  by  the 
Finance  Act,  1952,  appears  on  another  page. 
On  the  same  page  is  shown  the  amount  of  levy 
payable  by  exhibitors  on  each  admission  to  the 
British  Film  Production  Fund  under  the  Eady 
Plan. 

Duty  is  not  payable  where  the  Commissioners 
are  satisfied : 

(a)  That  the  proceeds  are  devoted  to  philan- 
thropic or  charitable  purposes  without 
deduction  of  expenses ;  or 

(b)  That  the  entertainment  is  wholly  educa- 
tional (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  50  per  cent,  of  the  receipts,  the  duty  is 
repaid  to  the  proprietor. 

Exemption  is  also  granted  under  the  Finance 
Acts,  1948  and  1949,  in  respect  of  certain 
Kinemas  in  rural  areas.  In  these  cases  the 
Customs  and  Excise  have  to  be  satisfied  that 
the  entertainment  is  held  in  a  building  in  a 


borough,  urban  district  or  rural  parish 
within  the  meaning  of  the  Local  Government 
Act,  1933,  being  a  borough,  etc.,  with  a 
population  not  exceeding  2,000  or  640  to  the 
square  mile,  and  further  that  seating  capacity 
for  more  than  400  persons  cannot  be  provided 
in  the  building. 

Under  certain  circumstances  a  reduced  rate  of 
duty  is  payable  if  Kine-variety  is  presented. 
For  details,  reference  should  be  made  to  the 
Finance  Act,  1950. 

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  condi- 
tions on  the  terms  of  furnishing  certified 
returns  at  stated  times  and  giving  security 
for  due  payment  of  the  duty.  Penalty  for 
breach  ;  Proprietor,  £50  and  duty  ;  Person 
admitted,  £5.  Special  provision  is  made  for 
lump  sum  payments  in  the  case  of  clubs  or 
societies,  or  in  the  case  of  season  tickets  or 
tickets  for  a  series  of  entertainments. 

Any  officer  of  excise  authorised  to  do  so  may 
enter  a  place  of  entertainment  and  any  person 
who  prevents  or  obstructs  him  is  liable  to  a 
fine  up  to  £20. 

The  Commissioners  can  make  regulations,  any 
breach  of  which  entails  an  excise  penalty 
of  £50,  and  they  may  make  arrangements 
whereby  the  local  authority  (county,  borough, 
or  urban  district  council),  or  the  police  may 
exercise  all  or  any  of  the  powers  of  the  Com- 
missioners as  to  this  duty.  The  law  is 
contained  in  the  Finance  (New  Duties)  Act, 
1916,  ss.  i  and  2.

Exemptions  from  the  Scheme 

(a)  Kinemas  entirely  exempted  from  Enter- 
tainments Tax  under  the  scheme  known  as 
"  Rural  Areas  Exemption,"  or,  as  officially 
expressed,  under  the  Finance  Acts,  1948  and 
1949- 


(i)  Kinemas  operating  in  Northern  Ireland,  Isle 
of  Man  and  the  Channel  Islands. 

(c)  Kinemas  whose  gross  weekly  takings  are 
less  than  £150  in  any  week  counted  from 
Sunday  to  Saturday  do  not  pay  the  levy  for 
that  week.  The  levy  is  payable  for  any  week 
in  which  the  gross  takings  calculated  from 
Sunday  to  Saturday  are  £150  or  over. 

(</)  Charitable  performances  entirely  exempted 
from  Entertainments  Tax  are  exempted  from

(c)  As  from  August,  1954,  marginal  relief  will

shall  be  liable  to  pay  either  the  amount  based 
on  admissions  or  the  excess  of  gross  takings

Taxation  and  Film  Hire 

Payments  to  the  fund  by  exhibitors  are  an 
allowable  charge  both  for  taxation  and  film 
hire.  In  the  case  of  contracts  on  sharing 
terms,  the  levy  will  be  deducted  as  a  prior 
charge  from  the  gross  takings  in  renters' 
returns  in  a  manner  similar  to  the  deduction 
of  Entertainments  Tax.

THE  CELLULOID  ACT 


An  Act  known  as  "  The  Celluloid  and  Cine- 
matograph Film  Act  of  1922  "  has  been 
passed  to  make  better  provision  for  the  pre- 
vention 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 

(6)  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- 
fa)  In  quantities  exceeding  at  any  one  time 

twenty  reels  or  eighty  pounds  in  weight,  or 
(6)  In  smaller  quantities  unless  each  reel 
is  kept  (except  when  required  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,  kine- 
matograph film  shall  be  deemed  to  be 
kept  in  any  premises  where  it  is  tempor- 
arily deposited  for  the  purpose  of  exam- 
ination, cleaning,  packing,  re-winding  or 
repair,  but  celluloid  or  kinematograph 
film  shall  not  be  deemed  to  be  kept  or 
stored  in  any  premises  where  it  is  tem- 
porarily 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  para- 
graphs (c),  (d)  and  (e)  of  Subsection 
(1)  of  Section  1  thereof,  apply  to  premises 
to  which  the  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,  how- 
ever, 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.

Theatre  Sales. 

Board  of  Trade  survey  for  second  quarter  1951 
shows  that  4,597  kinemas  operated  some  sales. 


The  total  gross  receipts  of  items  sold  during  the 
quarter  was  £3,498,200.  Ice  cream  and  drinks 
and  confectionery  together  represented 
£2,827,500  (3,681  kinemas  were  operating  these 
sales)  and  tobacco  sales  amounted  to  £670,700 
(and  involved  2,369  kinemas). 

Circuits  with  over  50  kinemas  took  £1,754,800 
on  sales  other  than  tobacco  (1,128  kinemas  were 
in  this  group)  and  £405,300  for  tobacco  sales 
(1,069  kinemas  were  in  this  group). 

During  the  quarter  this  represented  2.8d.  per 
patron  for  all  sales.  The  pence  per  patron  was 
o.8d.  in  small  kinemas  and  3-4d.  in  the  larger 
theatres.  In  the  London  and  Home  Counties 
area  the  sales  were  as  high  as  3-sd.  a  head. 

Sales  were  thus  being  operated  in  one  in  nine 
kinemas. 

Recent  estimates  reaching  the  "  Kine ' '  indicate 
that  pence  per  head  are  slightly  up  and  are  (at 
January  1954)  about  3d.  per  patron.  Ice  cream 
is  believed  to  represent  about  two  thirds  of  all 
sales.  In  the  current  year  the  value  of  soft 
drinks  sales  is  expected  to  be  £1,800,000  gross. 
Profit  margin  on  ice  cream,  soft  drinks,  nuts  and 
some  confectionery  is  high. 

Advertising 

The  Board  of  Trade  estimates  that  in  1938 
£570,000  was  spent  by  advertisers  on  placing 
advertisements  in  kinemas.  Screen  advertising 
was  estimated  to  be  at  a  level  of  £2,190,000  in 
1948,  of  which  about  £1,750,000  was  the  amount 
believed  to  be  going  to  exhibitors. 


EADY  SCHEME 

Started  September  1950  with  payment  of  Jd. 
a  seat  to  British  Film  Production  Fund.  Year 
ending  August  4,  195 1,  brought  in  total  of 
£1,197,841  leaving  £1,180,244  for  distribution 
after  expenses  paid.  Payments  made  to  British 
producers  against  net  receipts  from  box-office, 
averaged  about  15  per  cent.  "  bonus  payment " 
against  returns.  Maximum  payment  for  a 
feature  was  £32,000.  About  4,300  kinemas 
contributed,  average  £6  week  each  kinema. 
449  feature  and  554  shorts  benefited.  Short 
film  maximum  benefit  was  £3,654  a  picture. 
Second  year  of  scheme  provided  payments  id. 
a  seat  up  to  is.  then  Jd.  on  all  seats.  Producers 
received  about  50  per  cent,  on  gross  as  "  bonus." 

During  the  first  three  years  of  the  Eady  scheme 
(up  to  August,  1953)  £6,051,820  has  been 
distributed. 

In  the  three-year  period  G.F.D.  received 
£1,741,683,  British  Lion  £933,622,  Associated 
British-Pathe  £748,122  (a  total  to  the  "  big- 
three  "  of  £3,423,427). 

Of  the  total  distributed  in  1953,  £2,211,956 
was  paid  to  61  companies  on  account  of  588 
features  and  £257,403  was  paid  to  95  companies 
on  account  of  689  films  under  3,500  ft.  In  the 
second  year  of  the  fund  features  received  a 
bonus  equivalent  to  44  percent,  of  gross  receipts. 
By  December  1953  the  bonus  had  been  reduced 
to  34  per  cent. 

A  full  summary  of  "  Where  the  Eady  Money 
Goes"  appeared  in  the  "  Kine."  on  November 
26,  1953,  pages  3  and  6.

(See  notes  below.) 


NOTES  ON  IMPORT  DUTY. 

(1)  In  the  case  of  film  of  a  greater  width  than 
the  standard  width  of  ij  inches,  the  duty 
chargeable  is  increased  in  proportion  to  the 
extent  to  which  the  width  is  greater  than  the 
standard  width,  and  in  the  case  of  unexposed 
sensitised  cinematograph  film  of  less  than  the 
standard  width,  the  duty  chargeable  is  decreased 
in  proportion  to  the  extent  to  which  the  width 
is  less  than  the  standard  width. 


(2)  All  sheets  or  strips  of  unexposed  sensitised 
film  which  are  of  a  length  not  less  than  12  feet 
are,  whatever  their  width,  treated  as  cinemato- 
graph film. 

(3)  The  expression  "  exposed  cinematograph 
film  "  includes  all  such  film  whether  it  is  positive 
or  negative,  whether  it  is  developed  or  un- 
developed and  whether  or  not  it  contains  or 
consists  of  sound  track. 


Import  Duty.

(4)  Two  lengths  of  exposed  cinematograph 
film  representing  the  same  objects  are  not 
deemed  not  to  be  duplicates  of  each  other  by 
reason  that  one  is  positive  and  the  other  is 
negative,  or  by  reason  that  the  objects  are 
represented  on  different  scales  and  the  dimen- 
sions of  the  lengths  of  film  are  correspondingly 
different,  or  where  both  lengths  are  intended  for 
use  in  the  production  of  a  coloured  picture, 
by  reason  of  any  differences  ascribable  to  the 
nature  of  the  processes  involved  in  producing 
such  a  picture. 


IK3)  If,  in  the  case  of  any  exposed  cinemato- 
graph film,  it  is  shown  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
Commissioners  either — 

(a)  that  the  production  of  the  film  was 
organised  by  persons  whose  chief  or  only  place 
of  business  was  in  the  United  Kingdom  and  the 
producer  of  the  film  and  all  the  principal 
actors  and  artists  employed  for  the  production 
thereof,  except  five,  or,  if  the  total  number  of 
principal  actors  and  artists  is  less  than  twenty, 
not  less  than  three-quarters  of  the  number  of 
actors  and  artists,  were  British  subjects  and 
domiciled  in  the  United  Kingdom,  or 

(6)  that  the  Board  of  Trade  have  certified 
that  the  requirements  of  subsection  (3)  of 
section  twenty-seven  of  the  Cinematograph 
Films  Act,  1937  (which  prescribes  what  films 
shall  be  deemed  to  be  British  films  for  the 
purposes  of  that  Act)  or  of  subsection  (1)  of 
section  twenty-five  of  the  Cinematograph 
Films  Act,  1938  (which  prescribes  what  films 
shall  be  deemed  to  be  British  films  for  the 
purpose  of  registration  thereof  under  Part  III 
of  that  Act)  have  been  complied  with  in 
relation  to  the  film  or  in  relation  to  any  film 
of  which  the  film  forms  part ; 

the  duty  chargeable  on  the  film  is  the  duty, 
if  any,  with  which  it  would  have  been  chargeable 
if  it  were  still  unexposed. 

In  this  paragraph  the  expression  "  artist " 
includes  the  person  working  the  photographic 
camera  or  other  photographic  apparatus  by 
means  of  which  the  film  is  made. 


(6)  Where  two  or  more  lengths  of  exposed 
cinematograph  film  are  imported  together  and 
it  is  shown  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Commis- 
sioners that  they  both  or  all  represent  the  same 
objects  and  are  intended  to  be  used  as  a  set, 
each  complementary  to  the  other  or  others,  in 
the  production  of  a  coloured  picture,  and  are 
»ot  suitable  to  be  used  separately,  they  are 
charged  as  a  set  with  the  duty  that  would  be 
chargeable  if  one  length  only  were  being 
imported  : 

Provided  that  where  the  said  lengths  are  not

(b)  that  any  copy  of  such  a  version  which  is 
prepared  from  the  film,  as  well  as  the  film 
itself  and  any  duplicate  made  in  the  United 
Kingdom  from  it  or  from  any  part  of  it  and 
not  incorporated  in  any  such  copy  will  be 
destroyed  or  otherwise  disposed  of  to  the 
satisfaction  of  the  Commissioners  within

(c)  that  no  duplicate  of  the  film  or  of  any 
part  thereof  has  been  imported  into  the

Commissioners. 

(9)  Customs  duties  are  not  charged  on  im- 
ported educational  cinematograph  films  which

of  the  British  Commonwealth  and  Empire  and 
are  certified  by  the  Ministry  of  Education  under 
Section  7  of  the  Finance  Act,  1935  as  amended 
by  Section  4  of  the  Finance  Act,  1939. 

The  expression  "  Cinematograph  Film "  for 
the  purposes  of  this  Section  means  a  developed 
negative  or  positive  cinematograph  film  and 
includes  both  a  gramophone  record  or  other 
form  of  sound  reproduction  complementary 
to  such  a  film  and  a  developed  negative  or 
positive  sound  track.  Information  as  to

(10)  Persons  registered  with  the  Board  of 
Trade  for  the  purpose  may  import  free  of  duty 
not  more  than  two  lengths  of  any  news  film, 
which  are  duplicates  of  each  other,  for  the 
primary  purpose  of  preparing,  or  having  pre- 
pared, copies  therefrom  for  exhibition  in  the 
United  Kingdom  or  Isle  of  Man. 

News  film  for  this  purpose  means  any  exposed 
cinematograph  film  shown  to  the  satisfaction 
of  the  Commissioners  of  Customs  and  Excise 
to  consist  wholly  of  photographs  (with  or  without 
sound  track)  which  at  the  time  of  importation 
are  means  of  communicating  news.  News 
film  sound  tracks,  without  photographs,  are 
not  entitled  to  the  benefit  of  this  provision. 

*  In  the  case  of  film  on  which  duty  was  paid 
at  the  ad  valorem  rate  operative  prior  to  May  3, 
1948,  this  provision  would  apply  so  as  to  allow 
rebate  of  the  amount  of  duty  paid  in  excess  of 
duty  at  the  rate  of  id.  per  linear  foot.
