FOR ALL
CINEMA FIRE DANGERS
The range of " Pyrene " Fire Appliances and
installations covers all cinema fire risks. The
" Pyrene " Everyway Hose Reel offers ideal pro-
tection for the Cinema itself and there are
" PYRENE," " PHOMENE "and " CONQUEST"
Extinguishers for special risks. The "Pyrene "
Automatic Fire Extinguisher for Cinema Projectors
automatically puts out film fires and simultaneously
cuts off the arc and stops the motor. Its action is
so rapid that only one or two frames of film are
damaged.
During the war period it is more than ever
necessary that all Fire Protection equipment
should be properly maintained. The Hire
Maintenance Service undertaken by the Pyrene
Company, Limited, covers the supply of hand
Fire Extinguishers, inspection twice annualiy,
supply of spare parts, repainting - and finally
replacement where necessary, all within a yearly
maintenance fee.
Alternatively, for an economical inclusive annual
fee you can have your existing hand fire extin-
guishers examined, recharged and expertly
serviced one or more times a year as required.
Certificates issued after each visit to meet local
requirements where such exist.
You will want to

THE YEARS AHEAD
By S. G. Rayment.
ONE idea, and one idea only, has formed the background of all
constructive thought in the industry for many months.
What is to be the part played by the film in this country
and abroad when the guns are silent ? All sorts of side issues have
been brought in during the past year and sometimes those intro-
ducing them have not been able to see the wood for the trees ;
but the dominating policy, dictating the shape of every suggestion,
is and will be the contribution which our industry must make to
keep the new world sweet and clean and, incidentally, prosperous.
Intelligently enough, it has been recognised that the industry's,
first task is to set its own house in order ; proposals from without
and within have been legion, and to these I will refer later. But
the important fact to grasp is that now, as never before, the nation
has understood the enormous power exercised by a form of enter-
tainment able to present not only the factual picture of what is
happening all round us, but its real significance and implication.
Hitherto there has been a very conspicuous attitude of con-
descension in official quarters towards the function of the screen,
rather like the assessing of literature on the strength of an acquain-
tanceship limited to novelettes. To-day, however, we have learnt
better. We know that what the printing press achieved in the
spread of culture amongst the educated classes during the last
four hundred years is done far more vividly to-day by the motion
picture, and not for one stratum of society but for whole populations,
from the highest to the lowest. There is nothing new in this for
my readers ; the important thing is that the realisation of it has
come at last to our governing classes and leaders of public opinion.
Sheer propaganda by film is hardly in accord with the British
appetite. We have seen its efficiency in other lands, but we know
not merely that the cooking of the dish would not appeal to our
people, but that the actual material of it, however skilfully pre-
pared, would prove distasteful. Beyond directing attention to the
possibilities of undue use of the screen there is not a great deal to
be said at the moment, but the preservation of the democratic view
of life is so vitally necessary to this country that any development
on the lines of propaganda must be jealously watched.
The industry is certainly aware that the Government and the
legislature appreciates very fully its potentialities. Departments
8
The Kinematograph Year Book.
like the Board of Trade and the Ministry of Information, have
revealed an intimate understanding which has, on occasion, rather
surprised those who had estimated official appreciation as being on
a level with the frequently fatuous questions asked in the House of
Commons. The specialists, it must be emphasised, have a full
grasp of our problems and our capacities that is strikingly different
from that displayed by the average M.P.
However that may be, a lurking suspicion of post-war Government
control of the industry has been made evident in the deliberations
of trade bodies whenever they have met. It has most clearly been
shown in discussions on what is known as the Monopoly Report.
This document, which was prepared by a small committee appointed
by the Films Council, is a great deal more than a searching analysis
of the structure of the trade and its " monopolistic tendencies.".
The actual theme of monopoly is extended to cover not only
exhibition, but production, and explores the possibility of control
of British combines passing into the hands of United States business
men, as well as the swelling of our own circuits. The introduction
of a trustee arrangement is suggested to avert this risk. In an
extremely thoughtful and comprehensive series of " Observations "
on the committee's recommendations, the Cinematograph
Exhibitors' Association points out that, within the limits of
national policy, the circuits should have the same rights of disposal
of their kinemas as any other owner. At the same time, the
suggestion is put forward that no foreign controlled corporation
should be allowed to hold any interest in British kinemas and
that existing minority holdings should be transferred, to British
subjects.
As to production, the Observations open a door which reveals a
readiness to recognise new conditions. A paragraph in the original-
report demands a fair allocation of studio space as between
independent and combine, with a retention of one or more studios in
Government hands which could be made available to independents.
The C.E.A. goes further, and suggests that the Government should
rect a modern studio to help production.
Rather revolutionary this, in view of the generally accepted
policy, to which all but the Technicians' union have subscribed,
that Government control in any shape was to be avoided at all costs.
It was, in fact, contemplation of this bogey that sharpened the
determination in every branch of the trade to do whatever could be
done in the way of house-cleaning. General conditions however,
would have forced a campaign of self-examination even if the
prospect of post-war reorganisation had not come from without.
STARTING at the base of all things, raw stock has been in such
^ short supply, both here and in the United States, that every
conceivable economical device has had to be employed. Fewer

pictures have come over, prints have been harder worked. Shortage
of manpower — artistes and technicians — has, of course, materially
contributed as a cause of the lower output, which in turn has
brought a record number of re-issues to fill up screen-time.
The general shortage has had a strong reaction on our Quota
responsibilities and the number of exhibitors who defaulted in
this respect has been very great. Their difficulties have been
appreciated by the Board of Trade, however, and prosecutions
have been few. Another evidence this of official insight into trade
problems. While on the subject, by the way, it should be put on
record that British pictures have maintained a quality, both
artistic and commercial, which entitles our producers to respect,
for their obstacles and difficulties, severe throughout the war, have
enjoyed no alleviation. There is in fact evidence that British
films are more widely appreciated than for a long period, and have
on their merits shown an increase in playing time estimated at
10 per cent, over that of the previous year. This is the finding of
one important group and represents a cour try-wide verdict.
However, in spite of this, it has to be realised that the easy
days are dropping astern, for kinemas throughout the land can no
longer rely on the ready patronage of a big public limited in its
opportunities to spend war-inflated wages. The downhill trend,
they say, is on us. Happily there is a fair way to go before destitu-
tion and ruin stare exhibitors in the face ; in fact, gross profits
shown in big combines' reports give little ground for nervousness.
Whether the next annual returns maintain the same features is,
however, a horse of another colour.
pVEN so, it is the gross profits to which I was referring, and
' owners of kinemas are finding such a big proportion of their
revenue paid away in direct taxation that only unusually well-
kept up receipts enable them to make a businesslike return. In
the report of Odeon Theatres it was shown that of £16,000,000
gross receipts direct taxation took £8,000,000. E.T., which keeps
the prices of the seats up, is now about 39 per cent., as compared
with 13 per cent, pre-war.
Although this is no mean contribution towards the finances of
the nation by the Industry, there is a tacit recognition of the fact
that what we have been doing is by no means limited to so material
a consideration. The sustaining of the country's morale has often
been spoken about that it now makes comparatively little impres-
sion when referred to, but it means a great deal, and is properly
appreciated in all influential circles. There is no question of the
invaluable work done by the films produced by Service units.
In their turn they have kept together teams of production directors
and technicians, and we have a more or less hidden reserve of talent
10
The Kinematograph Year Book,
and highly trained personnel who will provide us with a big reservoir
for studio organisers to draw upon after the war. In spite of war-
time limitation, we have shown results during the year both in
elaborate spectacle and in homespun which entitles the production
side of the industry to self-confidence and self-respect.
CO we come back to the prospects of post-war work for the
^-^ moving picture. Distribution in this country can look after
itself ; overseas is another matter, and one which has not been for-
gotten. We are far from satisfied with the openings that await our
product in the most important market abroad, the United States.
As the man responsible for the biggest number and most of the top-
quality British films, J. Arthur Rank has shown a very active
concern over this problem. The erection of a big shop-window
theatre in a central position in New York is anticipated, and
there has been talk of a chain of such houses in all the key centres
throughout the States. That, however, is for the future. What
has already been accomplished is a useful indication of what
can be done, and this includes the acquisition of the control of
the big Odeon circuit in Canada — there are 80 modern kinemas,
and the chain is eventually to comprise 202 — and on the other side
of the globe there is the important deal which assures adequate
representation of our wares throughout the Far East. To arrange
this, the managing director of Eagle-Lion, E. T. Carr, made a long
trip, in the course of which he examined conditions in India and.
the possibilities of Burma, the East Indies territory and China,
and on behalf of Mr. Rank arranged the acquisition of a controlling
interest in the biggest distribution organism — British Distributors
(India), Ltd., working from Calcutta and covering an enormous
territory. Egypt and North Africa are being taken care of on
similar lines.
'""PHE next move is to see that the Continent of Europe is properly
A catered for by the British film. As territories are being
liberated, it is obviously important to see that our goods are ready
for distribution and this aspect of our responsibilities is never
allowed to fall into the background. It will be seen that the key-
note of all the far-seeing members of the trade is to organise the
future well-being of our film repute in a world the shape of which is
itself only vague. Happily we have leaders who are fully alive to
this very serious duty and who have proved themselves able to
seize opportunities as they arise.

AMERICA TO-DAY.
By James P. Cunningham.
iHE turn of the year produced two highly significant facts : (1) realisa-
tion that over-rated optimism held earlier last year of a potential
* crystallisation of a post-war European market is still far from
fruition ; the Nazi break-through of mid-December burst that bubble ; and
(2) the arrival of the day when the exigencies of the war are being really
felt in the flow of motion-picture entertainment to the screen, and the press-
ing, widening demands of the military authorities for raw stock enforcing
a really drastic reduction in the number of pictures are ended.
For first-run theatres and the more important subsequent runs the
latter development is not too urgent, for there has developed a continuing
practice of the industry in these United States to make fewer and better
motion pictures and to exhibit them longer than was customary. Over-all
production budgets have not been cut, and quality of production has im-
proved as a result both of the proportionate increase in investment per
picture and the additional time and attention made available by the lessening
of the number of pictures produced. The extension of running time at first
and early runs, of course, is having an obvious effect on later runs, bringing
natural complaints from the latter.
The kinema industry is now as closely knit on a joint supreme effort to
further the United Nations' cause in the war as it is far apart on the manner
and method of trade practice and procedure in relations between distribution
and exhibition, and among many exhibitors themselves. Not even the
Government can bring pressure to bear to produce a code of practices with
which the distributors would comply, although it must be said in all fairness
-to the latter, that some of the Governmental demands are of a nature that
must be determined by the courts, principally the demand that the five
distributors owning circuits absolutely divorce and divest themselves of their
theatre properties.
Today the distributors are nearing the eve of the day when the Depart-
ment of Justice will fight for that divorcement in the Federal Courts, in
which xhe whole matter of a code of trade practices is headed. Not the least
important spectators on the sidelines of the battle will be the independent
exhibitors of the country, whose complaints down through the years against
what they term " competitive over-aggression of the large circuits," is
the direct cause of the Government's prosecution.
The trends of the months just passed have been as many and as varied as the
changing times of the day. Starting irom the beginning : exorbitant profits
— or what was left of them after tremendous war taxation — plus the tireless
daily efforts of most workers in these war days, developed among most in-
dustry leaders a new realisation of appreciation of employees. When per-
mitted by salary stabilisation authorities, wages have been increased com-
mensurate with the increased cost of living. Several companies have
established, or are considering, pension plans for their staffs. Already
in effect are those of Loew-Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and RKO and RKO
Radio; considering adoption of pensions are Twentieth Century-Fox, Columbia,
Warner Brothers, and others.
Expected, but undeveloped, were loudly heralded plans for a wide
entrance of J. Arthur Rank into this market, Rank's Eagle-Lion's interests
finding it necessary to distribute, temporarily, through United Artists,
being unable to set up independent distribution machinery only because
12
The Kinematograph Year Book.
of a lack of materials and manpower necessary for the physical aspects of a
distributing company with the necessary 30-odd branches.
Exceptionally high grosses at box offices and flush income reaching the
coffers of producer-distributors — with war time taxes, it must be repeated,
taking their toll, continue to be the order of the day, accompanied, how-
ever, by tall Governmental warnings that eventual post-war population
shifts will bring reduced income to many areas now enjoying the prosperity
of boom war manufacturing. Federal ticket taxes are running about
§200,000,000 a year.
Equipment-wise, the pinch is tighter, of course, than it was a year ago,
but the Government has succeeded in applying its promise that no thestre
would actually close its doors because of a continued equipment breakdown.
Reserved stocks held by circuits, however, are running low, and existing
equipment is more or less dependent for operation on the circuits' own
maintenance crews, who are already largely responsible for the comparatively
few breakdowns.
Of impressive nature is the continuing all-out effort of all branches
of the U.S. industry in aiding the war effort, in the production, distribution
and exhibition of dozens of morale-building films for the home front, in
billions which were realised by the Government in war-bond sales — the
drives are now running two a year, in Red Cross collections, and Red Cross
blood-donor solicitations. As many as 175,000 industry employees were
engaged at one time in war-bond selling to the public, the Treasury appoint-
ing thousands of theatres as actual bond-issuing agents, on the same bond-
selling status as banks. In addition are the all-important 16 mm. gift
films from the companies for use by the Armed Forces of this and other
United Nations ; the total has exceeded 12,000 gift programs, all current
attractions.
Significant for the post-war is the promised support the Government,
principally the State Department, of the American motion picture industry
in gaining equality in foreign countries. The manner and method are yet
to be disclosed, with one likelihood being the appointment of " Ambassadors "
by the industry itself who would be stationed abroad and receive the help
of Government attaches in foreign posts.
With all the high-priced legalistic talent involved and the repeated
protestations of scores of independent exhibitors to the Government for
a " new deal " in trade practices, plus the Government's repeated " con-
ferences " with distributors for a new trade practice programme, the ysar
turned without much in sight of voluntary nature ; yet, with half the con-
versation and much less effort, Canada has emerged with a voluntary self-
governing trade practice organisation, to aid exhibitors in relations with
the distributors and in their own internal relations.
The year saw a further increase in Federal ticket taxes, from a flat
ten per cent, to one cent on each five cents of admission ; income taxes were
raised sharply.
Forty per cent., some 78,800 of the industry's 200,000 workers were
counted in the Armed Forces, with women in a majority of the vacancies,
participating in almost every conceivable job except film selling.
Will H. Hays has entered his 23rd year as head of the organised film
industry.
Shortages of paper, especially newsprint, requiring drastic reductions
in newspaper pages, forced exhibitors and distributors to turn heavily to radio
to promote pictures, millions having been spent in a year for air time.
One dark note sounded in distribution-exhibition unrelated to any
influence of the war is the probing by some distributors into alleged irregu-
Overseas.
I
iarities of exhibitor reports on some percentage pictures, suits having been
filed by distributors in some places to recoup losses in reputed incomplete
percentage rentals.
The marked trend in production is the almost complete abandonment
of war films, in favour of entertainment of escapist nature, with war figuring
in only a few, not in battle-form, but as background for story or performance,
the latter figuring importantly in some Service musicals.
Mostly conversation, but with some experimentation, the large film
companies have started to make their first really close inspection into potential
relationship between motion pictures and radio, with Paramount, RKO
Radio and 20th Century taking the lead in laying the groundwork for strong
position in television of the post-war, and the American Telephone and
Telegraph, and General Electric offering television services to the companies ;
bids will come later.
In the field of unionisation, thousands of workers have made quite some
progress both as organisation and in wage advancements. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars were paid out during the year to exchange workers
and to " white collarites " of home offices and studios. Very latest unionisa-
tion trends are on the part of theatre managers and film salesmen, here-
tofore unorganised, with American Federation of Labour charters in sight
for both groups and a widespread organisation movement a-brewing.
Travel restrictions brought an end to all national film company con-
ventions ; in their place has come small, compact regional meetings, with
company sales heads travelling to the regionals to preclude mass personnel
movements. Conventions of 50 or more are no longer permitted.
Withal the raw stock shortages and print pinches, double features
declined but 2 per cent, in two years.
New theatre construction continues at a standstill, permitted only in
those immediate areas where the Office of Civilian Recreation certifies that
a new theatre is required for war workers' morale, and construction of even
those theatres depending entirely on the availability of materials and man-
power.
No. 1 legal matter in independent exhibitors' attacks on prevailing
trade practices is the pending suit of Harry Arthur, exhibitor, of St. Louis,
filed against the large distributors, the Government and the American
Arbitration Association ; he attacks the Constitutionality of decisions by the
A. A. A. reducing the clearance of an exhibitor in favour of a competitor
under the consent decree applied by the Department of Justice and the
Federal Courts.
There is a growing realisation among top industry leaders of the necessity
of the American film industry having economic and other representation at
the peace table when the matters of international film agreements are dis-
cussed ; and in this the State Department apparently concurs.
There has been considerable activity on the part of distributor home
offices in lining up executives for grooming as foreign sales representatives
in liberated areas and for the post-war.
That often used, if not much abused expression, " in the post-war,"
also applies to production, wherein Hollywood's studios have already ear-
marked some $50,000,000 for physical improvement of their properties,
a large part of which will be applied to new or larger stages.
In both production and exhibition, wartime developments now pro-
ceeding in virtually all types of equipment factories and laboratories are
promised the benefits of improvements over pre-war types, electronics
principally are receiving the attention of military experts for actual war
use now and industry use later. Promised is better sound, better projection,
better lighting. A continued high cost of production is expected.
14
The Kinematograph Year Book,
Leaders of this industry see the influence of internationalisation which
will develop from the war establishing at least 1,500 foreign language theatres
in this country, against the few dozens which existed before the war. And
many have listened intently to the expressions of both British leaders and
foreign representatives of American companies warning that England expects
some real reciprocity for its product in this market in the post-war.
In radio, and its relation to motion pictures, the big item brewing is which
field shall dominate, when television is ready to be dominated ; whether
theatres will be legally permitted to pick up open telecasts and project them
in their theatres ; who will pay for telecasts used by theatres — questions
to be answered when television is ready to be dominated.
There is a movement afoot, the first sizeable one of its kind in this
industry's history, whereby major companies will participate widely in the
educational films field in the years to come. Harry Warner is one of those
especially interested.
The year saw the first deflection in the 22 years of the Hays Organisation,
Warner Brothers and all of its interests withdrawing from membership
in the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, although
agreeing to go along under the Production Code Administration ; resignation
to take effect in six months.
All in all, while in the third year of American participation in the war,
the American motion picture industry continued to devote its every resource
to furthering the war effort on both the home and fighting fronts, it likewise
proceeded with its prime purpose, the production of entertainment. Beset
by the problems of a war economy, and the efforts of the Government to
make rigid interpretations of the law on business practice, the film business
maintained a high standard of entertainment product and reached new
high levels of financial stability.
Corporately, changes of the past months have been comparatively few,
except lor the conversion of P.R.C. Pictures, owned by Pathe" Laboratories,
Inc., from a regional states-right production-distribution company, to one
of national status, with the company launching the purchase of franchises
and exchanges of its territorial franchise holders, and announcing its in-
tention also of building its own circuit of theatre " showcases." During the
year United Artists acquired the stock interest of Sir Alexander Korda by
purchase and retired it, leaving the corporation's ownership with Mary
Pickford, Charles S. Chaplin and David O. Selznick. Loew's sold its Metro-
polis and Bradford Trust holdings to 20th Century-Fox and J. Arthur Rank,
the deal carrying with it control of Gaumont-British. Atlas Corp. disposed
of its RKO Corp. preferred stock, while retaining its extensive holdings of
common. National Theatres Corp. stock was reclassified as a preliminary
to executive stock deals, and 20th-Fox stockholders approved purchase
of the company's common by officers.
One of the queerest quirks in a year of many queer quirks was the
forced closing of 100-odd kinemas in St. Louis, for several days, because
exchange workers in that city refused to supply any of the theatres with prints
of companies who serviced two small independent theatres employing
non-union projectionists.
On the top-line personnel front, many have changed places, among them :
Jesse Lasky left Warner's producer ranks and formed Lasky-MacEwen
Productions ; Lynn Farnol returned to Samuel Goldwyn Productions as
Press head, from the Army ; Allen Wilson became head of Republic's produc-
tion activities ; Arthur J. Kelly relinquished his United Artists foreign sales
post to become American representative for J. Arthur Rank's Eagle-Lion ;
Robert Wolff was named RKO British managing director ; Walter Gould
was placed in charge of United Artists' foreign department ; Neil Agnew
Overseas.
15
left Paramount to become vice-president of Selznick's Vanguard Pictures
and Charles Reagan became head of Paramount's sales department.
That pioneer, William Fox, re-entered the industry, with promises of
an eventual national producing-distributing company ; Paramount elected
Leonard Goldenson to its directorate ; Agnew was joined at Vanguard by
Hugh Owen who, however, later returned to his sales post at Paramount ;
E. L. Alperson left RKO Theatres and became an independent producer,
Larry Kent was named to represent 20th-Fox in G-B, London ; Joseph
Hazen and Hal Wallis left Warner Brothers and formed Hal Wallis Produc-
tions, distributing through Paramount ; Pat Scollard became Charles Reagan's
executive sales assistant at Paramount ; Edward P. McEvoy headed Universal
short subject sales.
Vanguard was also strengthened by the addition of B. P. Schulberg,
and at Film Classics L. E. Goldhammer became distribution chief ; William
T. Post became head of 20th-Fox's legal department ; Mervyn LeRoy re-
joined Warner Brothers at the head of his own producing unit ; Robert
Schless became a Paramount foreign sales executive and his foreign post at
Warners was filled by Joseph Hummel and Wolfe Cohen ; Sam Dembow,
Jnr., resigned from Paramount and joined Edward Golden Productions ;
RKO named John Whitaker a vice-president ; Leon Fromkess became
president of PRC Pictures, succeeding O'Henry Briggs, resigned.
Harold Hopper resigned from the WPB and shortly thereafter joined
Metro as studio general manager. B. G. De Sylva stepped down as head of
Paramount production and formed his own independent unit. Henry
Ginsberg, signed to a new contract, assumed control of all Paramount
production. Sol M. Wurtzel departed from 20th-Fox, Sam Briskin from
Columbia and John W. Considine, Junr., from Metro. Kenneth Macgowan
switched from 20th-Fox to Paramount, David Lewis from Paramount to
International Pictures, and Richard Blumenthal from Paramount to Columbia.

THE EMPIRE OVERSEAS.
Australia.
The supply of films to Australia during the year under review was
regularly maintained. Indeed, the number 01 standard films (1,665) imported
was greater than in the preceding year. Those imported from the U.S.
show a further reduction to 54.9 per cent., whilst those from the United
Kingdom rose by 5.6 per cent, to 31.5 per cent., and from other countries
by 5.2 per cent, to 13.6 per cent., as will be seen from the following table : —

Although the total number of standard films of all classes — that is, scenic,
topical educational, medical, commercial and dramatic films — has increased,
the number of feature-length films has declined. The origin of these films for
the past four years, showing percentages, is as follows : —

From this it will be seen that the reduction in U.S. feature films amounted
to only 1.3 per cent, and that British feature films dropped 0.7 per cent.,
whilst features from other countries rose by 2 per cent. The variation in the
ratio of over-all importations is mainly attributed to increases in the number
of short M. of I., industrial, and Service training films of British origin,
together with an increase in films produced in Soviet Russia.
Feature films were dealt with by the Censorship in the same four years,

The percentage of final rejections is again the lowest on record, that for
1942 at 0.8 being the previous lowest percentage. Eliminations at 8.9 per cent,
have dropped 2 per cent., as compared with 1942, resulting in the high per-
centage of 90.6 of films being passed in their entirety.
Compared with the previous year, an increase of 57.25 per cent, is noted
in the import of sub-standard films ; the increase was caused by the importa-
tion of 16-mm. Service training films.
Films of all classes exported from the Commonwealth during the year
numbered 644. This represents a further reduction on previous years. No
Australian feature films have been completed during the year, but production
was commenced of an Australian war film, " Rats of Tobruk," by Charles
Chauvel.
During the latter part of the year, the New South Wales State Film
Commission conducted a public inquiry concerning the effect of films in relation
to juvenile delinquency, and at which, by invitation, the Commonwealth
Film Censor gave evidence. The matters inquired into by the Commission
included censorship, classification of films, programme advertising, and suit-
able films for children's matinees held on Saturdays and public holidays and
during school vacations. The recommendations of the Commission have since
been the subject of Government consideration as to the best means of putting
them into effect.
The high standard of Australian propaganda features, shorts and news-
reels has been well maintained, and particular mention should be made of
the Department of Information documentary, " Kokoda Trail," photographed
by the Australian cameraman, Damien Parer, as a tribute to those who fought
in the terrible jungle warfare of the New Guinea campaign. This film received
an Academy Award of Merit for outstanding achievement, and the plaque
awarded has been presented to the National Museum at Canberra by the
Cinesound Productions Unit.

102 were passed subject to excisions, 113 were passed with recommendations
that they were more suitable for adult audiences, and 22 were passed with the
caution that they were not suitable for children. Appeals were lodged against
the Censor's decision to make certain eliminations in two films ; one was

unsuitable for exhibition to young children. One other appeal, held over for
some time, was allowed and the film finally passed by the Board of Appeal
without amendment.
An analysis of the 369 feature-length, or dramatic, films imported into
the Dominion showed that 342 came from the United States ; 24 from the
United Kingdom ; one from Australia ; and two from Russia. Films requiring
amendment numbered 102 as against 125 ; those recommended as more suit-
able for adults totalled 113, as against 117 ; those considered to be definitely
unsuitable for young people were 22 as against 24.
The following licences were issued : 158 provisional and grade licences,
and 122 new assistant operators' licences, making a total of 1,144 operators
and 638 assistant operators licensed since the coming into force of the regula-
tions in 1938. A number of emergency licences were issued to meet the
shortage of operators arising from war-time conditions. Licences were also

South Africa.
The war has undoubtedly brought a commercial boom to South Africa
due largely to new war industries, and the ready money available has naturally
helped the box office. Increased patronage, however, has not necessarily
meant increased revenue as large numbers of troops are regular cinema goers
and all men and women in uniform are admitted to the best seats at reduced
prices. The absence of visiting troop convoys, due, to the opening of the
Mediterranean, has also considerably shrunk box office receipts in comparison
with previous years.
\H Ml**0

The Kinematograph Year Book.
In spite of this ready money, mediocre productions do not go down with
South African audiences. Some outstanding productions have been released
during the year and their success has only accentuated public indifference to
poor pictures. Generally speaking, audiences appreciate an English film
as much as an American one, provided that it is good.
A big shock to exhibitors has been the increase in the Entertainments
Tax. In the Cape Province 33J per cent, of admission prices goes in taxes,
probably the highest in the world. When times return to normal, a difficult
problem will arise if these taxes are not reduced, as prices of admission will
certainly have to be maintained at too high a figure.
Building restrictions have been considerably tightened, and no new
houses may be erected. Even alterations to existing ones are noAV not
permitted.

The most important matter from a British point of view has been the
association of Eagle-Lion with British Distributors (India), Ltd., on a fifty-
fifty share basis. This is a deal which should be of mutual benefit to both
parties, ensuring for B. D. the output of the Rank sound studios and for
Eagle-Lion the excellent selling organisation under George Reardon's
guidance.
Among sodiers stationed in India there have been complaints of in-
sufficiency of up-to-date programmes, but there was at the end of the year
every prospect of substantial improvement.

The Kinematograph Year Book.
"PHOENICIANS TRADING WITH EARLY BRITONS."
By Lord heighten, P.R.A. By permission of the Gresham Committee from a colour reproduction
by The Fine A.rts Publishing Co. Ltd., London.
rPHE most successful
advertisements are those
which appeal to one of the
five senses.
Centuries ago, the wares
of the Phoenician traders
were used to dazzle the eyes
of the Cornishmen — with
satisfactory results to both
parties.
Three hundred and fifty
years ago, a dish of potatoes
appealed to the palate of
Good Queen Bess and
popularized a new food.
To-day, National Screen
Trailers and Short Films
appeal to sight and hearing
— yet remain part of the
great features they advertise.
This unique combination —
records prove — is the
strongest advertisement
of all.

DOCUMENTARY FILMS
AND THE FUTURE
By Gorton Baker
THE film industry of to-day had its birth in documentary — the first
crude pictures on a flickering screen were pictures of fact — but it was
men like John Grierson and his school who kept the documentary,
or " reporting " film, alive. Except for the short lived victories of
" Drifters," " Night Mail," or " Man of Aran," the documentary film until
recently was conspicuous by its absence from the commercial screens of the
country. But with the advent of war a new and important use was found
for the documentary and its allied non-fictional pictures.
Under the direction of the Ministry of Information films have been produced,
or acquired, and exhibited to nation wide audiences. for purposes of not only
" information," but also for instruction and inspiration. What is jnore,
exhibitors have found that the public on the whole has appreciated them
and in particular feature length documentaries (many of them produced by
the Crown Film Unit, late the G.P.O. Unit) have taken their place side by side
with the entertainment picture. Among them, " Target For To-Night,"
Divide and Conquer," " Desert Victory," " Return of the Vikings " and
" Western Approaches " (Technicolor) have been most outstanding.
The commercial screens of the country have played a vital part in the
war effort : but the greatest documentary achievement has doubtless been the
formation, through the auspices of the Central Film Library, of the non-
theatrical exhibition of non-fictitious films (totalling now nearly a thousand
titles) to audiences of several millions. People have accepted this new means
of visual education, either in the village hall, the classroom, the factory
canteen, the army instruction hut, the W. I. meeting place or in the mornings
at the commercial kinema — -and they will doubtless expect this State service
to continue after the war. Whether it may function in the commercial
kinema together with the entertainment programme, as a separate commercial
undertaking, or as a State service, cannot as yet be predicted : but the
documentary film has come to stay, to forward the things of peace, as " We
Shall Build Again " (Strand), and " World of Plenty " (Rotha) have already
shown.
The advance of the documentary film in wartime has done much to
refresh the enthusiasm of our " short " studios, so that in the post-war era
we can expect to see a higher standard in production of entertainment and
interest " short " subjects. The fact that certain " short " production
costs have been reduced during the war (" Proof of the Pudding " cost £900,
but that wartime, " What's for Dinner ? " the same footage, cost £550) and
that " short " production provides recruiting ground for feature producers,
will help to place the English "short" film on an equal footing with Holly-
wood products.
For the documentary producer the future will doubtless offer great
possibilities, side by side with the "interest short" producer. This view
was endorsed by Arthur Elton (chairman) at the first annual meeting in
December, 1944, of the Scientific Film Association, an association which can
make possible film production for scientific and medical experimenters in
addition to serving the lay public. The year 1944 has seen one advance in
the post-war planning for documentary production in the formation of the
Film Producers' Guild (Verity Films, Ltd., Publicity Films, Ltd., Merton
Park Studios, Ltd., Technique Film Productions, Greenpark Productions,
Ltd., Gryphon Films and Sound Service, Ltd.), whose belief in the documentary
and instructional film in the post-war world will rank with the numerous other
production organisations in providing even greater measures of public service
through the art of documentary.

The Film Producers' Guild, Ltd. — A new Company, formed in August,
1944, with E. P. L. Pelly as chairman and joint managing director ; A. T.
Burlinson as joint managing director ; F. A. Hoare as a director ; and John
M. Ward as secretary.
Its Associates are Verity Films, Ltd. (managing director : A. T. Burlin-
son). Publicity Films, Ltd. (joint managing directors : Harold Purcell and
E. W. Beckett). Merton Park Studios, Ltd. (managing director : F. A.
Hoare). Greenpark Productions, Ltd. (Managing director: Ralph Keene).
Technique Film Productions (director of production : Ronald H. Riley).
Gryphon Films (director of Production : Donald Taylor), and Sound-Services,
Ltd. (managing director : E. P. L. Pelly).
The Guild has been formed because its Associates believe :- —
(1) That films can play a great part in the whole scheme of post-
war world rehabilitation, but to play their part effectively the films
must be of unquestioned integrity and of the highest possible technical
quality.
(2) That such films are best made by small units of experienced
technicians, specialising in the type of film for which they are best
fitted and believing whole-heartedly in the value of the work they are
doing.
(3) That these units, however enthusiastic, cannot function pro-
perly without adequate technical facilities and financial stability.
(4) That since adequate technical facilities are beyond the resources
of small, unstable units, the key to efficient film production is the estab-
lishment of a co-ordinated group of individual production units, each
retaining its freedom of expression, but sharing in the financial stability
and physical resources of a large organisation.
The Guild's personnel of upwards of 130 principal technicians includes
Producers, Directors, Writers, Cameramen and Editors, each with his own
individual viewpoint and specialised experience : these are supported by
a first-class business organisation and have at their command the facilities
and permanent technical staff of the Studios operated by Merton - Park
Studios, Ltd.

British Films, Ltd. — Although the major activities of the company's
film unit are on service films, numerous commercial subjects have been covered
during the year. The nation-wide campaign of the fleet of kinema vans,
operated for the National Savings Committee, still successfully continues.
The operation of kinema van tours is an activity in which the firm has had
much experience. The equipment side is busily engaged in producing for the
Ministry of Supply the latest model power units incorporating remote-control,
also a fleet of kinema vans for the Colonies. The company specialises in
designing and producing mobile kinemas to suit individual requirements,
having particular regard to varying and abnormal climatic conditions of
operation.
B.-S. Productions. — Taken over by Paul Barralet Productions, Ltd.,
in 1944, the policy of the Company remains unaltered, but has greatly ex-
tended its scope. In the past year, one unit has concentrated on the pro-
duction of several important Government Films, whilst the Entertainment
Shorts Department has turned out many interesting subjects, including
'" Stage-door Memories " (a series featuring Richard Goolden), " Constable's
Country," " Drummed Out," and many others.
The present schedule includes several novel subjects, and 1945 will mark
another milestone in the career of this Company.- Paul Barralet has already
embarked on the first feature. It is expected to make at least four full
length pictures a year. Several additions have been made to the staff,
including T. A. Glover and Isobel St. Vincent.
Goncanen Recordings, Ltd. — During 1944, Derrick de Marney and his
Concanen unit continued their work for the British and Polish Governments,
as a result of which many " short " pictures were produced for the war effort.
Now de Marney has extended his activities to the thea,tre, and the
company has acquired many subjects during the year for future film pro-
duction, including Elswyth Thane's "Queen's Folly," and "Tryst."
Work is also going ahead on a treatment of " Bleak House " with a view
to making a picture. But, like many other companies, Concanen are finding
it difficult to get into production with feature pictures owing to the serious
lack of studio space.
Ealing. — Continuing the " semi-documentary " technique which they
have made so popular in such films as " The Foreman Went to France,"
and " San Demetrio-London," Ealing are this year producing " Overlanders,"
which is to be filmed almost entirely in Australia. Harry Watt, who made
" Target for To-Night " and " Nine Men " directs, and the photography is
being supervised by Osmond Borradaile. The film reconstructs the dramatic
stor}' of the great cattle trek which took place when Japanese invasion
threatened the Australian northern shore.
" The story of the great trek," Watt writes, " is one which shows human
courage and initiative at its most impressive." The subject lends itself to

HE Mobile Cinema, exhibiting talking films in
daylight, was devised and brought to maximum
efficiency by British Films, Limited. Mobile
Cinemas are produced to meet varying needs and
conditions. The latest development is a dual-
purpose equipment for showing both outdoors by
daylight and indoors as well. At present they
are being used in the National Effort at home
and abroad. British Films are, however, now
ready to discuss projects for the future
using this tried and tested medium.
Comprehensive facilities
are available, including the
production of all types of
films, the hire or supply of
16 mm. or 35 mm. equip-
ments, with full services.

dramatic treatment. When the great evacuation began, the natives came up
against elements which were not foreseen in the original plan. They
encountered rain, drought, disease, and hostile tribesmen, but they moved
their herds along 18,000 miles of trackless country to safety. The producers
are receiving the co-operation of the Australian Government in producing the
film, which, in addition to the main story, will reflect something of the way
of life in the Dominion, which, through its scope and industrial progress
contributed greatly to the British war effort and which will surely plav an
active part in the post-war world.
Films Of Great Britain, Ltd. — Despite the company's studio having been
damaged in air raids on two occasions, and its London cutting room similarly
put out of action for a time, its output has increased, and it is working to
capacity. Plans for post-war films of an international nature are com-
pleted and it is hoped that the}T will make a major contribution to the peace
by furthering mutual understanding. Since the war the company has pro-
duced films for most of the Ministries and for the British Council. Managing
director, Andrew Buchanan.
Gaumont-British Instructional, Ltd. — In addition to a vast amount of
work making training films for the three Services and various Government
Departments, Gaumont-British Instructional are engaged at the present time
on several productions of an Industrial nature. These productions range
from single-reelers to four-reelers, and to cope with this work, in addition to
their normal activities, expansion of personnel and Studio facilities has been
necessary.
A quantity of productions, in various stages, are going through to the
order of the British Council ; in addition, a new series of "Secrets of Life"
are nearing completion.
Two new major activities, which have arisen during the past 12 months,
is the setting up of a complete Children's Films Department, in charge of
Miss Mary Field (Mrs. A. M. Hankin) and the opening of premises in Soho
Square, for diagrammatic and general animation work, which are working to
capacity. In fact, the G.-B.I. Diagrammatic Department is now one of the
largest of its kind in the country.
Plans are now under way for the Company's educational programme — a
specialised type of work for which their long experience and trained personnel
are peculiarly fitted.

Association are published a graded list of
scientific films, which carries over 400 entries,
and from which local film societies and some-
times cinemas select programmes.
Part of the Committee's objective is to keep
watch on the accuracy of films which contain
reference either to scientific laws, to the lives of
scientists or any other aspects of science.

THE LEGAL SURVEY.
By NORMAN HART, B.A.
(Solicitor to the Cinematograph Exhibitors' Association.)
I HAVE more than once pointed out in my yearly article how very important
it is for Licensees to note very carefully the various conditions on their
Licences because whilst I think they could challenge those conditions
as being ultra vires at any time yet it removes any doubt if objection is taken
to them as soon as the Licence is granted.
Sunday Opening and Charity.
Exhibitors have been put to a good deal of trouble in the year with regard
to the opening of kinemas on Sundays, Licensing Authorities apparently
being under the idea that kinemas are taking so much money and attempt
to increase the payments to charity. I have often wondered if Licensing
Authorities have considered the difficult position, especially to-day, that
an exhibitor is in with regard to the employment of staff. As it is known
if he is open on Sunday he has to give a day off in the middle of the week to
each of his staff and in consequence he finds himself very short of staff. One
has put these views before Licensing Authorities sometimes with good effect,
but in other cases they have still insisted upon increasing the charity. It
seems to me that the only way to make Licensing Authorities become more
reasonable is that if they insist upon payment to charity of a sum which is
exorbitant, and more than the exhibitors think that they should fairly be
asked to pay, is to close the kinemas and then see what happens.
Sunday Opening and Children.
Another condition which has created a good deal of comment in the Industry
during the year is the condition that some Licensing Authorities are seeking
to put on licences prohibiting children under a certain age from going to
kinemas on Sunday. One, of course, is aware that the opening times of
kinemas on Sundays have been altered for various reasons, and now open at
such a time that it gives religious objectors a chance to put in a further
argument that by kinemas being opened between say 3 and 7 o'clock children
are prevented from going to Sunday school or religious worship.
I am glad, however, to say there are many other Licensing Authorities
who take a contrary view. One has argued this Sunday question all over the
country, and I have never yet heard any definite proof given to me to show
that where kinemas are opened on Sunday afternoons and evenings the
attendance at Sunday schools and religious services has decreased any more
than they have increased when the kinemas were closed. Objection is taken
by some licensing Authorities to the class of films shown, but as the films are
alwavs very carefully chosen and often are the same that are used in the week-
day, I fail to see how one can say that a film which is good on a weekday is
bad for Sunday. If a child can see it on a weekday, why not on Sunday ?
One would have thought that it would have been much better for a child
(even if the child has first to stand in a queue) to go to a kinema which is well
heated and well conducted and good films selected rather than walk aimlessly
up and down the streets probably get into all sorts of trouble. If Licensing"
Authorities want to strengthen the moral fibres of the young, surely permitting
children to walk aimlessly up and down the streets and get into all sorts of
trouble is not the way to do it.
As readers no doubt are aware to-day there are two ways of getting Sunday
opening: the one under the Sunday Entertainments Act, 1932, which before
the order of the Secretary of State can be obtained depends upon a decision by
The Legal Outlook.
the ratepayers whether or not they are in favour of Sunday opening; the
other under Statutory Rules and Orders No. 42B., whereby the Military
Authorities, if they think it necessary for the troops in the area, may request
the Authorities to grant a Sunday opening permission. This question of
admitting children under 16 to kinemas on Sundays was tested in an action
during the year, which lasted two days, judgment being reserved, and eventu-
ally Mr. Justice Atkinson held that it was a reasonable condition, which the
particular Licensing Authority had imposed when granting the permission to
open on Sunday under the Statutory B-ules and Orders No. 42B.
The point stressed was that it was in the interest of the public that children
under 16 years should not be admitted to the kinema on Sundays ; that if the
public had wanted Sunda}^ opening they could have applied for an Order under
the Sunday Entertainments Act, and if the ratepayers had decided that it was in
the public interest that kinemas should be opened on Sunday the position
might have been different. The public in this particular town did not make
any attempt to obtain Sunday opening and the Judge decided that as they did
not make any attempt to get Sunday opening they did not want it. The
Licensing Authority was well aware of it and that, therefore, they were acting
in a reasonable manner by putting a condition of this sort on the licence.
I certainly do think that if such a condition, limiting the admission
of children to kinemas on Sundays, was imposed on a Sunday licence under
the Sunday Entertainments Act, 1932, that there would be a very good case
to argue that it was ultra vires in that the public by their vote decided they
wanted Sunday opening. There, of course, is a great deal to be said on this
Sunday opening question, and space will not permit me to deal with it any
further, but one thing seems quite clear — if a person wants to open his
cinema on Sunday he must be able to satisfy the Licensing Authorities that it
is in the interest of the public that kinemas in that town should be opened on
Sunday.
The Reinstatement in Civil Employment Act, 1944.
This Act was passed to make provision for the reinstatement in civil employ-
ment of certain persons who are and have been in the service of the Crown or
in a Civil Defence Force, and for purposes connected with the matters afore-
said. To put it shortly the position is that an employer must reinstate the
applicant in as good a position as- he had or would have developed. He must
reinstate the applicant in the occupation in which he was last employed by the
former employer before the person was called to the Services and on terms
and conditions not less favourable to him than those which would have been
applicable to him in that occupation had he not become a person to whom this
Act applies.
If this is not reasonable and practicable the employee must be reinstated
on the most favourable terms and conditions which are reasonable and
practicable. The applicant must give a date not more than a month
ahead that he is available for employment, which is the date upon which the
employer is liable to take him. If the employer offers a position, and the
applicant accepts it, all is in order, but if he is not satisfied then he must notify
his employer to that effect in writing. Disputes are referred to a reinstatement
committee. Reinstatement is for a period of 26 weeks unless the applicant
has been in continuous employment for not less than 52 consecutive weeks
when in such case the applicant must be reinstated for 52 weeks. If two or
three applicants are applying about the same time for the same engagement
the employer must ascertain which of them joined up the earliest and the date,
and the applicant who has been the longest in the employer's employment
before that date, then that person is the person entitled to reinstatement.
The Liabilities (War-Time) Adjustment Act, 1944.
This Act greatly extends the benefits provided under the Liabilities (War-
Time) Adjustment "Act, 1941. It came into force on October 26th, 1944.
114
The Kinematograph Year Book.
and under it anyone may apply to an Adjustment Officer or Court for the
adjustment and settlement of any debt or liability to which the Defence
(Evacuation Area) Regulations, 1940, applies or to any similar liability which
will fall due so long as the evacuation period lasts or to any liability arising
by way of guarantee any indemnity in respect of any debt or liability entered
into before the date of the said regulations. The Court has power to remit
all arrears or may order the amount found due to be paid by instalments. The
Court also has power under this Act to reduce mortgage interest in respect of
' any period whether before or after the making of the Order when the net
annual profit arising from the mortgaged property does not amount to the
amount of interest payable under the mortgage. Under this Act the Court
in making a Liability Adj ustment Order may provide for remitting or reducing
any sum which has become payable or will thereafter become payable in
respect of rates.
The Court has power to remit arrears of rates in respect of property subject
to adjustment proceedings, and in cases where the Court finds it right to do so
to reduce the amount of rates payable in respect of any period after the date of
the Adjustment Order. One would point out that the power given to the
Court is to reduce the amount of rates payable in respect of any rating period,
but not to reduce the rateable value of the premises.
I would strongly advise readers, if occasion should arise and they are in
doubt as to how they should act, to at once get into touch with their local
Liability Adjustment officer, who will no doubt be able to give any information
required.
Costs of Works Payment and Value Payment.
Readers must remember that the old form of Certificate C2A is now
invalid and that form C2AB must now be used.
The War Commission is only concerned wdth the repair of w-ar damage,
and the Commission are only empowered to pay the proper cost of making
good such war damage ; that is, such cost as is reasonable having regard to the
prices of materials and rates of remuneration for services current at the time
the work is done, and that only such work as is attributable to war damage
is included. Consequently, the greatest care should be taken to exclude all
work not so attributable. With regard to the form of payment, there are two
kinds : (A) The cost to make good the damage (Cost of Works Payment) and
(B) The amount of the loss of market value (Value Payment).
Cost of Works Payment is made to the person who has had the work
carried out and who actually incurs the cost of repairs. As regards Value
Payment, a number of persons may be interested in it. They- are payable
to the person having the proprietary interest at the date of the damage.
Value Payments carry interest at the rate of 2\ per cent, per annum from the
date of damage. If a person is selling the premises and wishes to transfer the
Value Payment to the purchaser, before he can do this he must obtain the
written approval of the Commission.
There are three courses open to a lessee whose premises have bsen war
damaged either : —
(1) He can give a Xote of Disclaimer, which puts an end to the lease.
(2) He can give a Notice of Retention, in which case repairs must be
done by the lessee.
or
(3) Conditional Notice of Retention.
In all cases rent ceasing to be paid from the date of the notice.
As regards the Conditional Notice of Retention it operates as a Notice of
Retention unless and until the War Damage Commission determine to make a
Value Payment. If they make a Value Payment the Conditional Notice
becomes a Notice of Disclaimer, the lease being surrendered at that date.
Digest of Acts.
115
The tenant, however, preserves his right to a share of the Value Payment.
If the Value Payment has been decided upon, the lease thereby is disclaimed
and the tenant must within 14 days of the date of determination to make a
Value Payment serve on the landlord and any person claiming immediately
under the lessee and having an interest in the land comprised in the lease,
a notice stating that the Conditional Notice of Retention is to be treated as
a Notice of Disclaimer. It must be served within 14 days of the date of the
Final Determination. There is no provision in the Act for any extension of
this period.
Alternatively, if the War Damage Commission determine to make a Cost
of Works Payment the Conditional Notice of Retention ceases to be Conditional
and becomes an unconditional Notice of Retention.
I have been consulted on so many occasions with regard to war damage
claims during the year that I thought it might be of benefit to give a very short
epitome on the subject, and I hope it will be of some use and help to the readers,
though I would strongly advise those whose premises are war damaged to
at once consult a really good surveyor.
Re Requisitioning of Property.
When property is de-requisitioned the compensation rent payable in
respect of requisitioned property is governed by Sec. 7 of the Com-
pensation Defence Act, 1939, and is applicable both before and after the
cessation of hostilities. I would point out that a competent authority
is not required physically to make good the damage done during re-
quisition. It is only required to pay a sum equal to the cost of making good
any damage to the land which may have occurred during the time that posses-
sion is retained . The owner under the Act has no right to require the authority
to make good the damage or to delay the de-requisitioning until the damage
has been made good. If the authority choses to make good any damage
during the de-requisitioning well and good, but the proper mode of procedure
seems to be that compensation shall be paid to the owner and the owner
carries out such repairs as he choses. I have shortly dealt with some of the
most important Acts and Orders as have appeared to me during the year,
and upon which I have had to advise. I hope the article will be useful to
readers and should occasion arise be of some help to them. One could, of course,
deal with many others if space permitted, but as it does not I must conclude
my yearly article.
The Acts of Parliament and local by-laws which relate to or
affect the exhibition, storage or transit of kinematograph films are
of paramount importance to the trade, and should be closely studied by
all engaged in it. Below will be found a condensed digest of the
principal regulations governing 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.
(We accept no liability for any inaccuracy which may appear
in the following summary.)
Revised by Norman Hart, B.A.
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. «
116
The Kinematograph Year Book.
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 ;
hi. Comply with any conditions imposed in writing by the
Licensing Authority.
(d) 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.
(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 the 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.
Digest of Acts.
117
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
( kct 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 £1 for every year). Transfers, 5s
(Act s. 2 (5)).
Licensees. — The Licensing Authority has a discretion (Act s. 2 (1) (3)).
Where the refusal was based on the ground that several of the directors and
the majority of the shareholders of the company in question were alien
enemies, the refusal was upheld by the Court (Rex v. L.C.C. ex parte London
and Provincial Electric Theatres, [1915] 2 K.B. 466).
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, SO 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 ds
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.
118
The Kinematograph Year Book.
A condition that no film can be shown if a specified number of justices
object is void, as different groups ma}' 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 anv adequate remedy [ex parte Stott, [1916] 1 K.B.7; Stoit 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
no 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.
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 bv 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 picl ire. —
See Hallinan, 73 J.P.X. 45S.
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 existenceat 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

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,
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.

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 f 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."

HOME OFFICE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
Safety measures for the protection of audiences in kinemas, theatres and other
places of entertainment in time of Avar hare been drawn up by the Home Office
with the object of securing that, so far as possible, uniform requirements are imposed
throughout the country. Owners and managers if they have not already taken
6teps to comply with the requirements will be expected to do so within a reasonable
time,
GLASS SHATTER
The protective measures suggested for theatres and kinemas are as follows : —
1. — In the case of skylights, lantern lights and laylights either —
(a) the glazing should be removed and replaced by non-splintering
material, or the openings thereby made covered by a light weather-proof
roofing ;
or
(b) the glazing should be guarded on the underside with small-mesh
wire netting or expanded metal so arranged as to intercept broken glass,
and in addition the glazing, if not wired glazing, should be covered with stout
cardboard or paper or its equivalent, pasted direct to the glazing, or other-
wise rendered less liable to fragmentation to the satisfaction of the licensing
authority.
2. — All large windows to foyer and vestibules, and glass doors to the street
eho\ild be protected. (N.B. — It is not considered necessary to require that the
vestibule entrance to the street shall be protected by sandbags.)
3. — Chandeliers and other heavy glas3 fittings should be removed if possible or
else protected in such a way that no broken glass or splinters can strike any member
of the audience.
4. — Shelter should be provided for the staff and performers.
VENTILATION AND LIGHTING
5. — Ventilation plant should be closed down on a gas alarm or any evidence
of smoke.
6. — Refrigerating plant (other than ice-cream refrigerators) using a toxic or
Inflammable refrigerant should not be used and the refrigerant should be removed.
7. — The licensing authority's usual standard of lighting of internal exit-ways
and staircase should be maintained, windows being screened so as to prevent the
light being visible from outside.
8. — All external exit passageways should be indicated by white directional
arrows, which, during the hours of darkness, should be illuminated so as to be visible
to persons using the passageways. Secondary lighting should be retained for this
purpose where required by the licensing authority, but the light displayed must be
dimmed to the minimum required to show the position and direction of the arrow,
and so screened that no light is displayed from above.
FIRE GUARDIANS
9. — There should be a qualified fireman or a man specially nominated in writing
by the management to take charge of fire appliances. He need not necessarily be
employed exclusively on fire protection duties, but he must not during a perform-
ance be given other work which would take him away from the building or otherwise
prevent him from being immediately available in case of danger or alarm of fire.
When any performance is taking place which requires the use of scenery or costumes,
the man above mentioned shall remain within the stage risk. This man shall have
been adequately instructed in the use of all fire appliances contained in the building.
Attendants and other employees should be properly instructed in the use of
the fire appliances provided. This training may be undertaken by the man specially
employed to be in charge of fire appliances.
FIRST AID AND AUDIENCE CONTROL
10. — The whole staff should also receive training in first aid and anti-gas pre-
cautions, and the local authority should, if necessary, be asked to make special
arrangements for training at times when the staff is able to attend. The expenses
of such training will be met by the owner.
11. — The arrangements for the control of the audiences in the event of an
emergency are the responsibility of the management of the kinema.
12. — Standing should not be allowed in the gangways.
13. — No objection should be taken to the admission of children unaccompanied
by adults, but the kinema industry should be asked not to hold special children's
matinees in evacuating areas.
AIR RAID LISTENERS
14* — During performances a member of the staff should be constantly stationed
at a point from which he can hear the public warning signals. When a warning is
received the audience should be informed verbally by the manager or some other
responsible person from the stage, where he can be seen by the audience. It should
be made clear to the audience that the warning does not necessarily mean that a
raid will take place, and that in any case it is not likely to occur for at least
five minutes. The advice to be given to the audience in the event of an air raid
warning should be arranged in consultation with the police. It is considered that
as a general rule the advice should be to recommend them to remain in the building,
but it should at the same time be made clear that anyone who desires to leave is free
to do so. The entertainment should, if possible, be continued.

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.
Pathi Frdres, 100 L.T. 260).
Infringement is doing without the owner's consent anything which
conflicts with the owner's rights. It includes selling, or letting for hire, or
by way of trade exposing or offering for sale or hire, or by way of trade
exhibiting in public or importing for sale or hire any work which infringes
copyright or would do so if the work had been made in the country where
infringement takes place. It also includes the case of a person who, for his
private profit, permits a theatre or place of entertainment to be used for the
public performance of a work without the owner's consent unless the person
so doing was not aware and had no reasonable ground for suspecting that it
was an infringement.
Copyright lasts during the life of the author and fifty years after his
death. In the case of photographs, it is fifty years from the making of the
original negative. All transfers or licences must be in writing and signed
by the owner or his agent. The author cannot assign his copyright for
longer than twenty-five years after his death.
A compulsory licence can be obtained twenty-five or thirty years after
the author's death, but this provision cannot apply before 1936 at the earliest.
The Privy Council has the power to grant a compulsory licence at any time
after the author's death if it is proved that the work has been published or
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.
An employee or apprentice does not acquire the copyright in work he
does for his employer. Where a photograph is taken at the order of the
sitter, who pays for it, he, and not the photographer, is the owner. It is a
criminal offence to infringe copyright knowingly, and the offender is liable
to a fine up to 40s. for every copy, but not more than £50 for any one trans-
action. In the case of second or subsequent offences, the justices can send
the offender to prison for two months without the option of a fine, and in
all cases may order the copies to be destroyed. No criminal charge under
the Act can be brought more than six months after the act complained of.
In civil proceedings the usual remedy is an injunction, but the defendant is
also liable for damages unless he proves not merely that he did not know of the
copyright, but also that he had no reasonable grounds for suspecting its
existence. For example, if a kinema proprietor hires a film to show at one
hall, he is liable for damages if he shows it at any other place {Fenning Film
Service v. Wolverhampton, etc., Cinemas [1914] 3 K.B. 1171). Where the
alleged infringement is such that the Court would not protect it as an original
work {e.g., on the ground of indecency), the owner of the copyright cannot
sue under the Act, but can claim damages for defamatory representation of
his work [Glyn v. Western Feature Film Co. [1916] 1 Ch. 261). The proper
way to prove a film is to call someone who has seen it shown and not to pro-
duce the film unless some point turns on the film itself.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD REGULATIONS.
The Local Government Board have power under Section 130 of Public
Health Act, 1875, and amendments to issue regulations with a view to pre-
venting the spread of any epidemic or infectious disease. Regulations known
as the Public Health (Influenza) Regulations, 1918, were issued by the Local
Government Board under general orders dated November 18 and 22, 1918 : —
L Limiting the time of entertainment to not more than 4 hours
consecutively.
2. An interval of not less than 30 minutes between any two
entertainments.
3. During such interval the place to be effectually and thoroughly
ventilated, the penalty for breach not exceeding £100, and in case of
a continuing offence to a further penalty not exceeding £50 for every
day which the offence continues.
4. No children to be admitted to exhibitions where public
elementary schools in the district have been temporarily closed.
Notice must be given to the proprietor, otherwise regulation not
effective.
These restrictions can be relaxed by any local authority upon such
conditions as they may determine on the advice of their Medical Officer for
Health. They do not concern the Licensing Authorities, who have no power
to deal with such restrictions.
For removal of regulations application should be made to the District
or Urban Council of the place where the theatre is situated.
[These regulations have been rescinded. Attempts are being made to make
them conditions on kinematograph licences, but it is doubtful whether such con-
ditions are " intra vires."]
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 {$) of Sub-section
(1) of Section 1 thereof, apply to premises to which the
Digest of Acts.
131
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
G.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

Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by
the authority of the same, as follows : —
PART I.
RENTERS' QUOTAS AND EXHIBITORS' QUOTAS.
Provisions relating to Renters' quotas.
(1). — Determination of renters' quotas for period beginning 1st April 1938 and
ending 3\st March 1948.
(1) Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Act, where a renter has, in any renters '
uota period, acquired for distribution in Great Britain films which are registered as foreign long
lms, 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.
(3) 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 trebled 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 or, as the case may be, three times its
registered length:
134
The Kinematograph Year Book.
Provided that a renter shall be deemed not to have fulfilled the quota conditions imposed by
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
the order, this section shall have effect as if for subsection (2) thereof there were sub-
stituted the following subsection :
" (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 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
(£>) 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
film shall, for the purpose of the fulfilment of any conditions imposed by subsection (1) of the last
preceding section (hereafter in this Act referred to as " quota conditions"), be counted more than
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
(b) 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
also entitled, by virtue of this subsection, to count the film for the said purpose.
(3) Where the films which a renter has, in any renters' quota period, acquired for distribution
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, for 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
film—
(a) if all the registered films so acquired by him in that period (exclusive of films registered
only as exhibitors' quota films) arc old films, or
(b) in a case where the said registered films include films other than old films) if any such
quota conditions would have been fulfilled as respects those other films had they been
the only films so acquired by him in that period.
(4) For the purposes of the last preceding subsection, a film which in any renters' quota period
a renter acquires for distribution in Great Britain shall, in relation to that period, be deemed to be
told if, and only if,—
Digest of Acts.
135
(a) the film has previously been acquired as aforesaid by some other renter, and
(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
(b) 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.
(2) Any directions given under this section by the Board of Trade shall —
(a) 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, subject 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 of 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
(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 film3 ;
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 conditioas 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.
(1) 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 foreigD 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
year by Part II of the First Schedule to this Act, or
(6) in the second 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 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 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 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 say : —
(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 in Great
Britain had been so exhibited at one such theatre.

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 payment of at
least £21,000 to British labour.
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 have 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.
If a company has not, at the 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 "Y" 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.

RESTRICTIONS ON CHILDREN AT
SUNDAY OPENINGS.
Sunday Film Ban on Children. — In a reserved
judgment given on March 30, in the King's Bench
Division, Mr. Justice Atkinson held that the
Weston-super-Mare Justices were entitled to
make it a condition of a Sunday licence that no
child under 16 should be admitted whether
accompanied by an adult or not. He pointed
out that the licence was granted solely for the
benefit of the Forces. He was not prepared to
say that the Justices were acting unreasonably
by imposing a condition to operate for the benefit
of the young. Lionel Harold Harman, licensee
of the Regent, Weston-super-Mare, asked for a
declaration that the Weston-super-Mare magis-
trates were not entitled, under the authority
delegated to them by the Somerset County
Council, to impose as a condition for the Sunday
opening of the kinema that children under 16
should be excluded from performances. The
contention was that the condition was ultra
vires and unreasonable. The action was stated
to be in the nature of a test action and to have
the support of the Cinematograph Exhibitors'
Association.
Mr. Justice Atkinson held that the Somerset
County Council should not have been joined
as defendants in the action, and he dismissed
them from the action.
His Lordship said that the main contention
of the plaintiff was that the condition imposed
by the Justices was ultra vires, and that rested
on the majority decision of a King's Bench
Divisional Court to the effect that under section 1
of the Act of 1909 the power of the licensing
authority to impose conditions did not extend
to imposing conditions relating to the public
interest however necessary they might be.
That decision had never been referred to with
unqualified approval, and there was authority
for saying that even under the 1909 Act the
licensing authority had power to consider public
interest. He could see no justification for cutting
down the discretion given to the licensing
authority. . He held that the discretion which
the Justices were free to exercise was not
limited in the way indicated by the majority
decision of the Divisional Court to which he
had referred, but was unlimited, subject to this
that it had got to be exercised in a reasonable
way.
He was satisfied that the Justices were entitled
to consider matters relating to the welfare,
including spiritual wellbeing, of the community,
and he held that the condition was not ultra
vires.
As to whether the condition was unreasonable,
it had to be remembered that prima facie the
law was that Sunday performances were illegal.
Parliament had given legal authority to go
behind that, but only if the majority of the rate-
payers of a district desired it. Weston-super-
Mare ratepayers had not desired it.
His Lordship was entitled to assume that there
were in Weston a number of people who believed
in Sunday observance, and who wanted their
children to grow up to reverence Sunday and
go to church and Sunday-school and who did
not want to substitute films, particularly films
judged suitable for members of the Forces.
There were people who wanted their children
to go out into the open air instead of spending
several hours in a confined smoke-laden space.
Could anyone doubt that it was good for the
health of children to be kept out of kinemas on
Sunday ? He had no doubt about it.
The licence was granted solely for the benefit
of members of the Forces. Why was it unreason-
able for the Justices to say that they must not
let the licence operate to the disadvantage of the
young ?
He was not prepared to hold that the Justices
were acting unreasonably in imposing the con-
dition. He held that the Justices' decision was
intra vires and it was impossible to say that the
condition was unreasonable. He thought it
was perfectly reasonable and proper. The
action failed and would be dismissed.
Uncontrolled Children.— Three cleaners called
in to act as temporary attendants at a picture
house in Greenock sat down to see the show and
made no effort to control children running up
and down the passages and stairs. This was
stated at Greenock Sheriff Court on May n,
when the Pavilion Picture House (Greenock).
Ltd., were fined £3 for having contravened the
Cinematograph Act. A previous conviction was
admitted. The Fiscal stated that N.F.S. officers
visited the kinema to inspect fire appliances and
could not find an attendant. The manager had
gone home for tea.
Odeon Organisation Praised. — Falling and
breaking an arm when waiting in the queue of
the Odeon, Morden, for the Children's Club
entertainment, Peter Goodchild, then aged 10,
of Bury Grove, Morden, sued (through his
father), Odeon Theatres, Ltd., on May 23, in
Croydon County Court, for £16 19s. 3d. hospital
costs, and for compensatory damages. The
action failed.
Incidentally, the methods and aims of the
Odeon Children's Club were discussed. At one
stage, Judge Sir Gerald Hurst, K.C., remarked
that the queueing up seemed to be extremely
well organised on an excellent system. D. N.
Holdsworth, manager, stated that to marshal
the queue and keep order there were eight boys
and eight girl " captains " on duty in addition to
witness and the assistant manager, two police
officers, the foreman, page-boy, two doormen
and the car park attendant were looking after
the children ; and there was nursing and other
first-aid personnel.
ASSESSMENT APPEALS.
" Business Increase Not Solely Due to War."
— An appeal against increased valuations of five
Glasgow picture houses was refused by the Lands
Valuation Appeal Court sitting at Edinburgh,
on March 2. The Court held that the increase in
business was not solely due to the war, and
would continue for some time. The view was
confirmed by the increase in rents of similar
picture theatres, and also by the very large
figure for which the Paramount, Glasgow, was
sold in 1 94 1. The appellants were George Green,
Ltd., 11-29, Renfrew Street, Glasgow, who
appealed against decisions of the Glasgow
Valuation Committee in regard to the valuation
of the Playhouse, the Tollcross, the Bedford,
the Strathclyde, and the Gorbals, operated by
them. The principal question raised was whether
the assessor was entitled to re-value the picture
bouses in the present year. The Court held that
In the Courts.
153
he was so entitled, and refused all the appeals,
upholding total valuations by the Committee
amounting to £9,500, as against £7,520 proposed
by the appellants. Lord Fleming, who gave the
leading opinion, said there had been no general
revaluation of picture houses in Glasgow since
1935, and in addition the following facts were
held to be established : (1) Attendances at
picture houses generally had increased ; (2) the
average price for seats had been very much
raised ; (3) no new picture houses had been
built since the outbreak of war, and the number
was now insufficient to meet the demand ; and
(4) substantial increases in the gross annual
value of all the theatres and dance halls were
accepted by the proprietors, and increases had
been adjusted in the case of a number of picture
houses, including the Paramount, which was the
most highly valued picture house in Glasgow,
and which was increased from £9,000 to £10,000.
The circumstances seemed to justify not only a
review of the valuations of picture houses, but
also a substantial increase in their valuation
generally. Lord Russell and Lord Keith
concurred.
Effects of the War on Kinemas.— Before the
Appeals Committee of the Monmouthshire
Quarter Sessions at Newport, on June 8, Aber-
tillery Theatres, Ltd., successfully appealed
against the gross value of £2,235 placed by West
Monmouth Assessment Committee on the
Gaiety, Pavilion, Empress and Palace kinemas,
Abertillery. A figure of £1,785 was agreed by
the parties. S. Comyns Carr, K.C., on behalf of
the appellants, said that Abertillery, like the
rest of the country, had enjoyed a kinema boom ;
takings had undoubtedly gone up considerably,
but coincidental with this there had been an
enormous increase in expenses, which more than
offset the increase in takings. The pre-war
basis of 6 per cent, of the gross takings as the
gross value of the hereditaments was generally
accepted for a kinema with normal advantages,
with a normal film-hire policy, and in an area
where rates were equitable. The general rates in
Abertillery, however, totalled 30s. 6d. Yet,
regardless of such facts, the Assessment Com-
mittee still assessed the Abertillery kinemas on
the 6 per cent, basis, which the appellants
contended was wholly inappropriate to Aber-
tillery. Because of that the appellants declined
to disclose actual takings, so the committee
estimated them on a figure based on " the
ridiculous assumption " that 75 per cent, of the
seats were filled at every performance. There
were 4,436 seats at the kinemas.
The chairman (Sir Ronald Bosanquet, K.C.)
announced that the appeal was allowed by
consent.
Refused to Submit Figures.— The appeal of
the Regal Cinema Co., Ltd., to the Somerset
Quarter Session Appeals Committee against the
assessment of the Regal, Cheddar, was dismissed
on July 14 with costs. It was stated that the
kinema was originally assessed at £124 gross
and £100 rateable. In September, 1943, these
figures were amended to £340 and £280, respec-
tively, and were confirmed in March, 1944.
Cyril Williams, for the rating authority, said the
almost usual method of making valuation was
to take a percentage of the gross receipts for the
preceding 12 months. Every other kinema in
Somerset had been valued by that method, and
figures had been willingly supplied in almost
every case. Appellants had been asked over
and over again for their figures, but these had
not been forthcoming. The inference was that
the rating officer had underestimated the gross
receipts.
Wrong Name in Rate Book — The Clerkenwell
magistrate (W. J. H. Brodrick) gave his decision
in favour of the local authority when the
adjourned application by the St. Pancras
Borough Council to insert the name of the
Associated British Cinemas, Ltd., in the rate
book in place of Variety Theatres (Consolidated),
Ltd., in respect of the premises of the Regent
Cinema, Euston Road, came before him on
January 7. The application was made under
Section 72 of the Valuation (Metropolis) Act,
1869, and it was contended that although the
rates had been paid for a number of years by
Variety Theatres (Consolidated), Ltd., the real
occupiers were now found to be the Associated
British Cinemas, Ltd. The matter had arisen
in connection with an appeal against a valuation,
which is now pending.
Mr. Brodrick said the Council had discovered
that they should have inserted somebody else's
name in the rate book. He would not go into
the merits or demerits of the matter. When the
application first came before him he was wholly
in favour of the respondents, but the Divisional
Court (Westminster Corporation v. Edgcumb)
had given a different interpretation. He con-
sidered himself bound by that decision and
would grant the application of the St. Pancras
Borough Council.
QUOTA OFFENCES
Quota Return Defaulters.— Summonses against
a number of kinema companies for failing to send
to the Board of Trade within the proper time a
return for the exhibitors' quota year starting
October 1, 1942, in respect of films exhibited,
were heard at the Clerkenwell police court on
May 26 and June 23.
Fines of £15 on each of two summonses and
10 guineas costs were imposed on the Queens
Cinema (Preston), Ltd., in respect of the Queens
and the Guild theatres at Preston. There were
three previous convictions. Summonses against
Vincent J. H. Wareing, of Willesden, in respect
of the Palladium, Brighton, Ranelagh Barnes and
the Picardy, Harlesden, were dismissed under
the Probation of Offenders Act upon payment
of five guineas costs. In the case of Will Stone's
Circuit, Ltd., of Cardiff, in respect of the
Palace, Treharris, Victoria Hall, Rhymney,
and the Public Hall, Pontycymmer, the sum-
monses were withdrawn, as the returns had
since been received. A fine of 40s. and five
guineas costs was imposed on Princess (Raw-
marsh) Cinemas, Ltd. Returns had been
received from the following since the issue of the
summonses, and a fine of 40s. and five guineas
costs was imposed in each case. The defendants
were ; O. G. Pictures, Ltd., West End Cinema,
Coleman Street, Wolverhampton ; the Palace
Cinema (Tilbury), Ltd., of Thornton House,
Finsbury Square, EX. 2 ; Rainworth Theatre,
Ltd., of the Palace Cinema, Rainworth, near
Mansfield ; Arthur Allom, of the Theatre Royal,
Potts Street, Shotton Colliery, County Durham ;
Blidsworth Scala, Ltd., of the Scala Cinema,
Blidsworth, near Mansfield ; and Donald Watts
Wiliams, of the Cosy Cinema, 52, Hounds Road,
Chipping Sodbury, Glos. On July 7 Offerton
Cinemas, Ltd., of the Curzon, Offerton, Stock-
port, was fined £7 and two guineas costs for
a similar offence.

Macclesfield Quota Default.— Prosecuted at
Macclesfield (Cheshire) on October 27 by the
Board of Trade (Films Branch), the Macclesfield
Majestic Picture House, Ltd., of Mill Street, was
fined £50 and ordered to pay 10 guineas costs
for not showing the prescribed proportion of
British long films at the Cinema, Buxton Road
— the smallest of the four kinemas in its circuit —
in the quota year October 1, 1942, to September
30, 1943. Stanley Bamford Higginbotham,
director and secretary of the company, was
fined £50. The plea was " not guilty." It was
alleged _ that the Cinema showed only three of
353 British long films available and 179 foreign
films were supplied to the house. The quota
percentage therefore was 3.2 instead of the
prescribed 15 per cent. The defence pointed
out that although the Cinema was below quota,
the percentage of British films seen at the four
kinemas in the circuit was greater than that
required by the Act. It was stated that the
difficulty in securing British long films for small
houses was caused by the practice of insisting
that their films should only be shown at the
kinemas with the biggest money-taking capacity.
Referring to a Board of Trade submission that
a solution to the difficulty lay in running old
British films or in showing British films at more
than one kinema, Mr. Langstaff, for the defence,
cited instances in which the adoption of such
practices by the company had resulted in finan-
cial loss.
PRODUCTION
Stunt Man's Claim Fails Holding that a
stunt acrobat voluntarily undertook a risk in
making a hazardous fall at the Ealing Studios
of Associated Talking Pictures, Ltd., Mr.
Justice Macnaghten, in the High Court, on
March 10, dismissed with costs a claim by Albert
Marotta against S. C. Balcon, associate pro-
ducer, for damages for personal injury. The
defence was a denial of liability. In the film
" Undercover," Mr. Marotta had to fall from the
balcony of a barn, as if killed. In doing so
he broke a thigh bone through striking a pro-
truding rafter. He alleged that the defendant
was negligent in ordering him to expose himself
to an unreasonable risk.
B.T.-H. Wage Award.— In the King's Bench
Division on February 10 Mr. Justice Tucker
dismissed with costs an application by the
Association of Cine Technicians to set aside an
arbitrator's award in a wages dispute between
them and the British Thomson-Houston Co.,
Ltd., of Rugby. The Association contended
that the film operatives employed at the com-
pany's works should be paid wages in accordance
with the agreements between the Association
and the Film Production Employers' Federation.
The company contended that as only 25 out of
a staff of 13,000 at their works were employed
in film production, dissatisfaction would be
caused if they were paid on a higher scale than
that fixed by wages agreements in the engineering
industry.
SLANDER.
£3 tor Slander.— Private Peter Moore, of the
Eire Army, claimed damages at Clonmel Circuit
Court, Eire, for slander from the proprietors
of the Ritz, Clonmel. He alleged that when he
was about to sit down, a uniformed attendant
tapped him on the shoulder, and said : " You
are wanted outside at the office. A soldier has
iven bad money." This was said in a loud
voice in a crowded kinema and attracted a
certain amount of attention. When plaintiff
went to the office the matter had apparently
been cleared up. Xo accusation was made
against him.
Judge Sealy said he thought the publication
of the slander went beyond what was reasonably
necessary. The damage done to plaintiff was
nfinitesimal and he gave a decree for £3.
BREACH OF REGULATIONS.
Coke Fire in June — For burning coke in a
kinema boiler during the summer months in
contravention of the orders of the Ministry of
Fuel and Power, Hursthead Estates, Ltd.,
were fined £3, plus £2 2s. costs at Stockport on
August 3, and the manager, John Fletcher
Tatton, was ordered to pay costs for aiding
and abetting. It was stated there had been
no intention to heat the building and that the
boiler had .been used solely to burn the residue
of sweepings from the building.
Kinema Wasted Light.— Philip Marks, Marks
Circuit Cinemas, Cheetham Hill Road, Man-
chester, was fined £4 with £3 3s. costs at Marl-
borough Street, on March 7, for wasting electricity
at Carlton Cinema, Tottenham Court Road, on
November 27. Stanley Taylor, manager, was
fined 20s. for aiding and abetting. It was stated
that well before the kinema opened lights and an
electric heater were burning total wattage of

Death of Under-age Projectionist.— A sequel
to a fire and the death of a young projectionist
named Fallon at the Askew P.H., Gateshead,
was heard at Gateshead Police Court on July 7.
when Evelyn Horn, the licensee, was charged
with a contravention of the Cinematograph
Act by employing an operator under 18 years in
charge of the projection enclosure. She was
fined £5 with £1 costs. It was stated that in a
fire at the kinema on May 17, Fallon was in
charge of the operating box. He received fatal
injuries and two other people were taken to
hospital. Mrs. Horn stated that Fallon told
her he was 18 and was medically unfit for the
Forces. He had previous experience.
Father's Identity Card.— A 15-year-old boy
who was charged with making a false declaration
in respect of an identity card which he presented
at a kinema was fined 40s. at Bristol on July 13.
The boy had tried to get into a kinema to see
an " A" film with his father's identity card.
The manager, however, made it a custom to
ask youths to show their identity cards, though,
strictly speaking, he had no legal right to do so,
to ascertain their age.
Operator Fined £5 for Smoking — Sydney
Wilfred Fox, formerly second operator at the
Broadway (A.B.C.), Portswood, Southampton,
was fined £5 at Southampton police court for
smoking within the enclosure. An inspector
stated that he saw Fox leaving the enclosure
to go into the rectifier room, smoking a cigarette.
Fox maintained that he was smoking in the
rectifier room, and had not entered the enclosure.
Standing in Kinemas. — At Sutton Coldfield,
on May 23, A.B.C., Ltd., was fined £5 and the
manager, P. E. Wright, £10 for a breach of the
regulations regarding patrons standing in the
gangways at the Empress. It was stated that
the police found 44 people there, whereas the
licence only permitted 20 to occupy the gang-
ways. For the defence, the difficulties of
securing experienced staff were stressed.

Odeon Action Settlement. — A settlement was
announced on September 27 in the King's Bench
Division of the action in which Wilfred Phillips,
formerly general manager of the film booking
department of Odeon Theatres, Ltd., claimed
damages against the company for wrongful
dismissal. Mr. Phillips was employed as general
manager of the booking department under a
seven-year contract, of September, 1939, at a
salary of £2,080 a year. In May, 1942, however,
after J. Arthur Rank assumed control he was
informed that his contract was terminated on
the grounds that he had failed to carry out the
orders of the board in respect of the booking of
films. G. O. Slade, K.C., for Odeon Theatres,
Ltd., said that the matter had been amicably
disposed of. The terms were that Odeon Theatres
would pay Mr. Phillips £7,000, and they had
agreed the amount of his costs, which Odeon
would also pay. The matter was settled on the
terms that no ill-feeling existed between the
parties.
With regard to the £7,000, Odeon was quite
prepared that a judgment should be entered
against them for that sum, and it should be made
clear that the judgment was a judgment for
£7,000 damages. Sir Patrick Hastings, K.C., for
Mr. Phillips, said that there was a charge that he
had been guilty of grave misconduct and there-
fore it was necessary that the action should be
brought. Now, of course, that was completely
disposed of. Mr. Slade said he unreservedly
withdrew on behalf of his clients any suggestion
against Mr. Phillips, who, counsel understood,
withdrew all the allegations set out in his reply
to the defence.
£2,000 Commission. — Judgment for £2,000
and costs was given in the High Court, on
December 13, in favour of Gerard Arthur Ridley,
in a claim against R. C. Roy, of Cross Street,
Manchester, for commission on the sale of the
Apollo, Manchester.
Plaintiff's case was that on his introduction of
Max Milder, of Associated British Pictures, to
the defendant, in October, 1942, Mr. Roy sold
the kinema for £150,000. He claimed £2,000
commission under an agreement. Mr. Roy
denied the agreement and said that he told Mr.
Ridley he was prepared to sell for £160,000 and
the difference between that and any higher price
would be his (the plaintiff's).
Trainee Operator's Long Hours.— Comment on
the alleged long hours worked by young kinema
operators was made from the Bench at Grimsby
Borough Juvenile Court, on Tuesday, October 17.
Before the Court was a 15 -year-old operator who
was fined 20s. for stealing a purse and two
theatre tickets from a house where the boy had
gone to deliver a message. In Court the boy said
that he worked from 10 a.m. to noon and from
1.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m., and his wages were about
32s. a week.
J. Copsey (Probation Officer) said that, in his
opinion, boys in this industry worked abnormally
long hours. It was entirely wrong, , but they
did it.
Manager's Theft. — When the police were
informed that £118 had been taken from the safe
of the Empress, Urmston, they made inquiries
which led to the informant himself being closely
interrogated. As a result, Thomas Thornley, the
manager, appeared before the county magis-
trates at Manchester, on August 3. He admitted
a shortage in his petty cash on the day that he
took the money. He was fined £10.
Five-Year-Old Foot Injury — A 72-year-old
woman, Mrs. Elizabeth Price, of Aberdare,
brought an action at Aberdare County Court, on
January 31, against the proprietors of the Cosy
Kinema, Aberdare, for damages in respect of an
injury sustained to her foot whilst leaving the
kinema, in January, 1939. After the hearing of
the evidence she was granted £30 compensation
by the consent of the proprietors, who, however,
did not admit liability.
Evidence was given by Mrs. Price that she
was pushed against a wall and a number of
people trod on her foot. Three weeks after the
accident the manager of the kinema called on
her and gave her 30s., for which she signed a
document to the effect that the sum was in full
settlement. She had been unable to leave her
house until 1940 ; she had suffered for five years
and was still suffering.
Carey Evans said that Capt. W. E. Willis, the
proprietor, did not accept liability, but now it
appeared that the accident was more serious
than he thought and he would like to do some-
thing for Mrs. Price.
Possession of Stills.— At London Sessions, on
April 5, two booksellers, Frederick Louis Peeters
(27) and Humphrey Williams (65) were found
" Not Guilty" of receiving 300 film photographs,
the property of Warner Bros. Pictures, Ltd.,
knowing them to have been stolen. Both were
discharged.
Gate-Grashers Fined.— Said to be the first
case of its kind in London, four youths were
each fined £3 and ordered to pay £1 is. costs by
Mr. Dunne at Bow Street Police Court on
January 3, for entering, the Leicester Square
Theatre without having paid the entertainment
tax. P. C. R. Noble, for the Customs and Excise,
said that groups of young persons, taking
advantage of the black-out, had been entering
kinema s through the exit doors and getting
seats without payment. The practice was on the
increase and had caused managers considerable
concern. The four youths were seen to enter the
Leicester Square Theatre in this way and the
police were called. They occupied stalls and
said they had paid 3s. 6d. each, but there were
no 3s. 6d. seats.
At Govan Juvenile Court on May 19, two ten-
year-old boys had sentence deferred for six
months, charged with gaining admission to a
kinema in Lorde Street by climbing through a
hole in the glass roof and getting into the theatre
in an attempt to defraud the company.
At Plymouth on November 2, three youths
were each fined £1 for causing a disturbance
when trying to force an entry through exit doors.
Parents to Pay for Damage. — Five Wisbech
boys between the ages of 8 and 15 years were
placed on probation for two years and another
fined £2 at Wisbech Juvenile Court, on August 25,
for damaging seats at the Hippodrome between
August 8 and 15. The parents were order to pay
£20 towards the damage. Alfred Freear,
manager, stated that, in all, damage to
the extent of £40 had been caused to 12 or
13 seats, and they could not be replaced.
Seen to be unscrewing backs of seats and to be
sticking a sheath knife into the floor of the
Princess Kinema, Peterborough, a 15 -year-old
apprentice told a police officer that he did it to
"show. off" to his friends. The magistrates
imposed a fine of 5s., with 2s. 6d. costs, and
ordered the payment of 2s. 6d. damage.

KINEMA TECHNIQUE AND
APPARATUS
By James Benson
Acting Editor, " Ideal Kinema."
MONOPOLY.
THE Report of a Sub-Committee of the Cinematograph Films Council
on "Tendencies to Monopoly in the Cinematograph Film Industry"
provided the Trade with the most important and sustained topic for discussion
by all sections it has known for some years. One of the reasons was that it
interpreted the scope of its inquiry outside the strict limits of monopoly and
entered other fields of Trade activity.
Producers, renters, and exhibitors whose observations were invited by
the Board of Trade were divided upon its recommendations, but submitted
considered comment which was largely the result of compromise. The
Association of Cinematograph Technicians, however, reported very favourably
upon the Report.
The recommendations of the Films Council Sub-committee were :
(1) That legislation should be introduced preventing expansion of large
circuits except by permission of the Board of Trade ; (2) that precautions
should be taken to prevent physical control of British kinema combines from
passing into foreign hands ; (3, 4 and 5) a fair allocation of studio space ;
(6) provision of technical training facilities ; (7) establishment of a film
finance corporation to help qualified producers and establish a renting
organisation for home and overseas markets (9) ; (8) a tribunal to arbitrate on
film hire and similar grievances ; (12) increase of quota requirements on
renters and exhibitors ; (11, 13, 14, 15, 16) reform of certain trade practices ;
(17) control over kinema ownership changes ; (18) reform of barring practices ;
(19) overseas selling organisations; (20) reform of U.S. taxation; (21,
22) increase of exhibition in U.S. and British Commonwealth territories.
The C.E.A. supported paragraphs 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 18, 20, 21
and 22, though with certain reservations regarding details. It opposed
paragraphs 2, 5, 12, 14, 17, and refrained from comment on 9, 15, 16 and 19.
On paragraph 8 the suggestion was made of a National Arbitration Board
under the National Arbitration Order, 1940, instead of the Tribunal as
suggested in the Report. On paragraph 12 the Association stated that it
could not agree to substantial increases in quota being fixed in advance of
better production facilities.
K.R.S. members questioned whether the tendencies towards monopoly
existed as stated in the Report ; the Tribunal was opposed, and the opinion
was expressed that other recommendations showed a lack of knowledge of
the film Trade by the Committee.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION
ONE of the most encouraging aspects of the British film Industry during
1944 is the attention given to improving the technical knowledge and
skill of those employed and to be employed in the various activities.
The Report of the Cinematograph Films Council's sub-committee on
monopolistic tendencies in the Industry drew attention to the need for greater
opportunities for technical education, but when the Report was commented
on by various bodies, it was pointed out in many directions that associations
and unions within the Industries had already taken this matter in hand, and
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique.
169
had plans already under discussion or in draft form to put into practice as soon
as opportunity served.
The British Kinematograph Society, which, even through the difficult
" blitz " and flying-bomb period, held regular meetings for lectures and
discussions had enlarged its activities by the creation of a Theatre Division
in June, and a Sub-Standard Division in November, and had laid the founda-
tion of a Film Production Division which it was hoped to launch in March,
1945. The aim of these divisions was to heighten interest and increase technical
knowledge by lectures, demonstrations and symposia and to afford members
opportunities for exchange of experiences and for discussion of various problems.
In conjunction with the Regent Street Polytechnic, the B.K.S. has been
running courses in kinematography since 1931. Towards the end of 1944, the
Society took the step of instituting two scholarships of £50 each at the Poly-
technic, and these were augmented by the offer by "Bill " Barker of two
bursaries of £25 and £10 each to those entrants who were runners-up for the
two B.K.S. scholarships. A meeting was also called at the Polytechnic
in January, 1945, to discuss technical education, when plans for an Educational
Council, representative of the whole Industry were outlined.
The labour unions serving the Industry also took a hand in educational
planning. In a manifesto dated January 1, 1945, the Association of Cine-
Technicians set out a scheme of apprenticeship for studio technicians, which
should provide adequate theoretrical training in day and evening school as
as practical work in studio and laboratory.
The National Association of Theatre and Kinema Employees has also
outlined a training scheme to regulate the entry of apprentices and pro-
bationers and provide technical training.
The lead in providing a scheme of training for junior projectionists
within the Government's idea of assisted technical education was taken by
enthusiasts in the Notts and Derby area, where in association with the
Nottingham Education Authority a training course was inaugurated in
October at University College. Prospective trainees were divided into three
age groups and classes were arranged to take place in the morning, twice a
week. The first term ended at Christmas ; the session closes in March with
an examination. The plan of training covers two years.
RE-ABSORPTION OF TECHNICIANS
TWO other aspects of training have also been regarded by unions and
Trade associations. The problem of re-absorption of technicians serving
in the Forces has been considered by the Association of Cine Technicians,
which has produced a set of proposals for training and rehabilitation to enable
Service men to retain their skill at their pre-war job, and has considered also
the manner in which disabled persons may be trained for duties in studios
and laboratories. How far Government help will be available to put these
proposals into practice remains to be seen.

The Kinematograph Year Book.
So far, the Government's attitude has been vacillating and disappointing.
It announced in August, 1943, through Sir Walter Womersley, M.P., speaking
for the Ministry of Pensions, that it would welcome trade schemes for the
training of ex-Servicemen in various professions and trades. The C.E.A.,
with the technical assistance of the B.K.S., produced a scheme which, after
being acknowledged and then shelved was resuscitated in February, 1944,
when the Kine made representations to the Ministry of Labour. Government
promises of financial support were forthcoming for the scheme as re-submitted,
but in September, 1944, the Ministry of Labour intimated that it was unlikely
that it would be able to provide any central training for disabled Servicemen.
This has thrown the training of projectionists back upon the Trade, which has,
in certain localities, endeavoured to stimulate local educational bodies to
provide technical education facilities.
THE FILM CARE MOVEMENT
A MOVEMENT which deserved more encouragement than has fallen to
its lot is the Film Damage Advisory Committee scheme, which, beginning
in the Nottinham district spread widely to other areas. Birmingham, as the
distributing centre for films circulating in the Midlands, obviously suggested
itself as the natural centre of a union of similar committees.
A Midland Counties Film Damage Advisory Committee was formed as a
parent body, and J. M. Cannon, of the Clifton Circuit, was appointed secretary.
It was expected that the scheme would embrace 600 kinemas, and that by
tracking down those who were responsible for unnecessary damage to films,
longer life for the film -would be secured, and lower-run projectionists be
saved a great deal of work and anxiety.
Naturally, the work involved expense as well as work, and an application
was made to the Kinematograph Renters' Society, whose members are
owners of damaged films to contribute to the cost of running the committee,
which should have a paid official. This the K.R.S. declined to do, although
it had made a contribution of £50 to the Notts, and Derby Committee, and
as a result the Birmingham C.E. A. decided to wind up the committee. Feeling,
however, that the work being done was important, some of the members
of the committee determined to carry on in the hope of the value of their
work being eventually recognised. All those who gave so freely of their
voluntary work — exhibitors, projectionists and renters' employees — deserve
high commendation for the effort made to put an end to the mutilation
scandal which, during the war period, due to inexperienced employees in the
projection room and elsewhere, has grown to an alarming extent.
Northern Ireland, which began a training and supervision scheme early
in 1944 with a kinema engineer in charge, has been running very success-
fully. Reporting at the end of the year, the engineer records 308 official
visits to kinemas to advise and assist operators in the care of apparatus, and
the running of a course of lectures at Belfast Technology College. The
K.R.S. has voted a 50 per cent, contribution to the cost of the North Ireland
scheme.
POST-WAR TECHNIQUE
IN common with other trades, the kinematograph Industry has been thinking
n terms of post-war reconstruction, and with projection and other appara-
tus, furnishings, seatings, etc., having had to stand heavy wear during five
and a half years' of war without renewal, a big demand is sure to follow the
release of engineers and other workers to manufacture the equipment now so
urgently needed.
Beyond the actual provision of " repeats " of existing types, however,
the question of new forms of apparatus has to be considered. In this con-

nection, the President of the B.K.S., A. G. D. West, M.A., B.Sc, F.R.P.S.,
set out in an address given to the Society in October what has come to be
known as "A Ten- Year Plan for the Industry." The ten years be divided
into five " two-year " periods, the first of which would be concerned with
rehabilitation, including more intelligible sound, with better theatre acoustics
and brighter pictures. The second period should see the colour situation
settled ; the third, satisfactory large-screen television with entirely electronic
equipment ; the fourth, colour television in the kinema ; the fifth, stereoscopy.
This vision, of course, links up with technical education and the means
taken to attract good research brains to the Industry and to see that every
technician even down to the " clapper-boy," should bs fully trained.
QUOTA CHANGES.
CHANGES in quota film figures for the three-year period 1945 to 1948
were announced by the Board of Trade towards the close of 1944. For
the first year, 1945-46, both renters, and exhibitors, quota of British long film
remains as before at 20 per cent, renters and 15 per cent, exhibitors. In each
of the subsequent years they rise by 2| per cent, per year, reaching 25 per
cent, (renters) and 20 per cent, (exhibitors) in 1947-48. Short film quota for
1945-46 is 22| per cent. vrenteis) and 20 per cent, (exhibitors) ; for 1946-47
and 1947-48, 25 per cent, (renters) and 22£ per cert, (exhibitors).
Labour cost tests for films counting for renters' quota were increased by
50 per cent. No labour cost tests were imposed in respect of short films for
quota, despite considerable agitation that these should be imposed.
Surprising statistics relating to the industry's war effort were given in
April by Arnold Williams, general manager of National Screen Service, Ltd.
Before the war Kodak and Ilford produced about 320,000,000 ft. of
35 mm. stock per annum and 1,500,000 ft. of 16 mm. film ; but since the
war the annual output of 16 mm. for the services alone was 75,000,000 ft.
and a total of one-third of that total film output was for war purposes.
The exhibition side of the industry catered for a weekly audience of 30 million.
Ministry of Food " flashes " to the number of 108 (to that date) had
been screened, and an audience representing 4,000,000,000 admissions had
seen the 130 M. of I. shorts issued during the first three years. In addition
kinemas had paid up to a maximum of £41,000,000 per annum in E.T., five
times the pre-war payment. From the exhibitors' revenue of £100,000,000
per annum, when E.T. was deducted, £20,000,000 was sent bv renters to the
U.S.A. and from the remaining £40,000,000, about £10,000,000 was paid in

BUILDING AND DESIGN.
X-TOPES entertained at the beginning of the year that rebuilding of damaged
A kinemas in industrial and residential districts might be undertaken
have failed of fulfilment. The demand for dwelling-houses, which everyone
recognises as a first priority, has been increased by the new damage inflicted
by flying bombs, a form of wanton attack which, while it has mainly affected
the south of England, has drawn from other areas labour and materials
which might have been expended there.
Attention has been given to replanning areas devastated by enemy
attack during the past five years, one especial area — Plymouth — having been
planned upon a scale which includes dwelling-houses on the outskirts, built
around a community centre, of which the kinema is a part, and a layout of
the centre city area which retains super kinemas and theatres with adjacent
carparks for the use of those who visit the city in search of entertainment.
In order to guide those who will have the lesponsibility of rehabilitating
these buildings which have been partially destroyed or severely damaged by
172
The Kinematograph Year Book.
enemy action, the Department of Scientific and Building Research, Watford,
has prepared a series of pamphlets giving advice on the course to be followed
where structural steel members are distorted or weakened, and upon restoration
of paintwork, repairs to stucco, asphalt, brickwork, etc.
The embargo upon expenditure for rebuilding still continues, with a
recent extension of the area to where the restriction to £10 spent upon repairs
applies. Any cost above that figure needs, a special consent.
Due to increased cost of building it is likely that kinema design, when it
is undertaken, will be of the extremely simple kind. Patron comfort cannot
be sacrificed, nor can efficiency in putting over the entertainment provided ;
there will, however, be a move to economise in other respects and what
decoration is introduced will be without excess of ornament. Wherever
improvement can be made without undue cost this will be undertaken. The
incorporation of advertising areas in the front of the building is an idea
which many have courted with, with a facade upon which publicity can be
projected from a hidden light source.
With the restriction on expenditure referred to earlier, it is difficult to
maintain property in sufficiently good lepair to prevent structural deterior-
ation. The main cause of this is the entry of weather into joints and subse-
quent spread over adjacent walls, and during winter, frost causing bursts in
water supply pipes. Licences must be bought to expend when this takes
place on a large scale, and the assistance of Modernisation, Ltd., has been
very valuable in many instances.
RE-ASSESSMENT PROBLEMS.
IN several areas, rating authorities have been busy during the year increasing
assessments, on the grounds that kinema business has been good, and
consequently the buildings should be rated higher. This basis is fallacious,
for in a large number of cases the better business done has benefited the
National Exchequer rather than the proprietor of the kinema, whose increased
takings have disappeared in Entertainment Tax and Excess Profits Duty.
The advice given by the C.E.A. not to supply figures to the rating
authority except under advice from headquarters has been met in some areas
by Income Tax technique ; the assessment of the property at a high figure,
and the reliance on the exhibitors' appeal against the assessment to produce
the figures refused earlier.
On the general question of re-assessment the rating advisers to the C.E.A.
(Sidney H. and D. Graham Motion) comment in the current Annual Report
of the Association that the prosperity of kinemas has become a ground of
competition between the Government and the Local Rating Authority.
" It has been a struggle between the Inspector of Taxes and the
rating authorities, many of whom are getting dangerously near rating
on the basis of profits earned, which has no justification in rating law.
" This is getting so much like an income tax that one hears of proposed
attempts to revive the question of a ' single tax ' — one tax to cover
income tax and rates. This would involve putting local rating into the
hands of the Government (Inland Revenue) valuers, who already value
properties for Schedule ' A ' assessments, and would make one assessment
for the same property instead of two different figures, as happens
frequently under the present law.
" The advocate of the ' single tax ' has asked why it is necessary for
two sets of people to value the same property, and claims that by having a
single assessment much local prejudice and influence would be avoided, as
one is bound to admit does sometimes occur. But would it not be a dis-
advantage on the whole to lose the local knowledge of rating committees

173
and assessment committees ? We think it would, but these committees
and their advisers, by their very actions, are playing into the hands of
the ' single taxers.'
" After all, it should not be the skill and experience in successfully
building up and managing a business of whatever kind that should be
rated and local residents, from whom the committees are drawn, should
be able to eliminate from their minds all such irrelevant factors in arriving
at the proper rental value.'1
SUNDAY OPENING.
AN issue which became a very live one for exhibitors arose from the decision
given by Mr. Justice Atkinson on the subject of Sunday opening. The
case brought before the High Court at the instance of the C.E.A. challengea
the rights of licensing justices to impose conditions regarding the exclusion of
children on Sundays. The case was fought on a ban upon children's attend-
ance at Weston-super-Mare on Sundays, and the decision given was that
such a condition was intra and not ultra vires.
The judge gave his decision in this form : —
He was satisfied that the Justices were entitled to consider matters
relating to the welfare, including spiritual well-being, of the community,
and he held that the condition was not ultra vires.
As to whether the condition was unreasonable, it had to be remembered
that prima facie the law was that Sunday performances were illegal.
Parliament had given legal authority to go behind that, but only if the
majority of the ratepayers of a district desired it. Weston- super-Mare
ratepayers had not desired it.
His Lordship was entitled to assume that there were in Weston a
number of people who believed in Sunday observance, and who wanted
their children to grow up to reverence Sunday and go to church and Sunday
school and who did not want to substitute films, particularly films judged
suitable for members of the Forces. There were people who wanted their
children to go out into the open air instead of spending several hours in a
confined, smoke-laden space.
Could anyone doubt that it was good for the health of children to ba
kept out of kinemas on Sunday ? He had no doubt about it.
The licence was granted solely for the bsnefit of members of the Forces.
Why was it unreasonable for the Justices to say that they must not let
the licence operate to the disadvantage of the young ?
He was not prepared to hold that the Justices were acting unreasonably
in imposing the condition. He held that the Justices' decision was ultra
vires and it was impossible to say that the condition was unreasonable.
He thought it was perfectly reasonable and proper. The action failed and
would be dismissed.
The result of the action was that a number of licensing authorities
added the condition to their licences, and towards the close of 1944 the
Surrey County Council announced its intention to prohibit the attendance of
children at kinemas on Sundays throughout its area of authority, the prohibi-
tion to cover not only those areas where Sunday opening had been effected
through the application of the competent military authority for Sunday-
recreation for troops in accordance with the Emergencies Order, but also in
those cases where Sunday opening had been secured through the operation
of the Sunday Entertainments Act, 1932.
The C.E.A. has decided to contest this point again in a High Court action
and both the Trade and local authorities will eagerly await the decision. I
is considered probable that should a decision be reached adverse to kinema
interests an appeal will be made to the House of Lords.

VALUATION.
The past year has witnessed considerable activity in the property market,
and although box-ofhce takings in Southern England have fallen this
has not seriously affected property prices.
During the first quarter, super kinemas with large capacities, both in.
London and the provinces, were purchased by major circuits, after which
period their buying activities ceased in accordance with the undertakings
given to the Board of Trade.
This factor, however, had the effect of presenting more opportunities to
the independent exhibitor and the smaller circuits, who readily took
advantage of this position.
Takings reached a new high level, with the consequential increase in
profits, although these declined during the year in the London area. Prices
have remained satisfactory, although there has bsen a slight reduction in
value as compared with 1943.
These facts are elicited from a survey of the kinema property market
during 1944 by Harris and Gillow, kinema agents and valuers.
The investment side of the Industry has attracted a large number of
transactions, and with Treasury consent, where necessary, mortgages have
been arranged at the lowest interest rates that have prevailed since the
inception of the Industry.
The keen demand for freehold ground rents secured on entertainment
properties is a further indication of the stability that the Industry has attained,
and these have been sold to yield interest bearing 4 per cent, to 6 per cent.
With the Government requisition of so many of the film studios, space
has been difficult to secure, although, where available, very substantial rents
have been paid. Worton Hall Studios, Isleworth, with its six acres of ground,
was sold at a figure in the neighbourhood of £150,000, notwithstanding that
it is still in requisition.
RE-VALUATION AND WAR DAMAGE.
The services of Harris and Gillow have also been retained by exhibitors
in the preparation of deferred repair certificates, enabling cash reserves to be
set off against profits to finance the arrears of repairs, maintenance and
upkeep accumulated by reason of the present emergency regulations.
Russell & Co., i he kinema surveyors and valuers, report that during the
past year the wide range of their activities has been more than ever in demand,
especially in the field of re-valuations, where exhibitors appreciate that the
1939 valuation is now useless owing to the enormous increase in prices of
equipment, furnishings, building material, etc. With the prospect of an
early end to the war, exhibitors are eager to have their halls revalued for
post war reconstruction ; fees for this work are a charge against E.P.T.
Included in the list of halls taking advantage of the Russell services are
the three largest kinemas in Europe, Green's Playhouses at Glasgow and
Dundee, and the Gaumont State, Kilburn, as well as other houses of the
Gaumont Super-Cinema circuit.
An important number of sales have been made privately, and over
132 sites have been disposed of by Russell & Co., covering the whole of
Great Britain. The department dealing with war damage claims and the
de-requisitioning of kinemas has been extensively and successfully engaged.

TELEVISION.
THE opinion was widely held in the early years of the war that the close
of hostilities would see enormous advances in television as the result
of what has been termed " the researches of the backroom boys." Whispers
which reached the public of devices having an almost wizard ability to detect
and transmit movement, told of the application of these researches to tele-
vision which would produce a perfect picture equal to that on the kinema screen
with great advances in sensitiveness of transmission and reception apparatus.
These dreams have been somewhat rudely shattered by the Report of
the Hankey Television Committee, which definitely states that there
has been no discovery during war research which has had any direct effect
upon television.
It is proposed to re-start transmission on the old 405 line basis, which was
employed in 1938-9 for transmision and reception from Alexandra Palace
for the area around London. The Committee regards this basis as unsatis-
factory for large-screen television which, it holds, should approximate to
1,000 lines. Birmingham is mentioned as the first of the provincial trans-
mitting stations, the programme being relayed from London by cable or
radio link.
The passage from the Report which relates to kinema television runs as
follows :
" There is agreement in the evidence of representatives of both the kinema
industry and of manufacturers of equipment that the definition of the 1939
system is not high enough for large-screen reproduction in kinemas and that
the television standard of definition must approach that of the kinema before
large-screen television will be generally acceptable.
" We recommend that in planning the television service close attention
should be given by the Advisory Committee to the possibilities of its use
by kinemas, bearing in mind the difficulties to which we have referred."
When the provincial services are opened up programmes should be
relayed from the main programme centre in London. Relay links between
Alexandra Palace and the provincial stations may be either by cable or radio,
and the Post Office will assume responsibility for research work connected
with relay problems. Co-ordination of research and a patents pool are
recommended.
It will be gathered from the foregoing that the kinema proprietor need
have no immediate anxiety regarding either the competition of home television
or that of a rival kinema installing television reception apparatus.
SUB-STANDARD FILMS.
MORE attention is being given to the sub-standard film during the past
• year than ever before. The reduction of commercial films from 35 mm
to 16 mm. in order that film entertainment may be made possible for American
and British troops in distant and isolated areas, has awakened minds to the
potentialities of the narrow gauge film.
The quality of picture and sound achieved by the newest types of
projector has surprised a number of people who, a few years ago, were shaking
their heads at the possibility of sub-standard films ever satisfying the average
kinema-goer.

One caution must, however, be uttered. It must not be thought that
because 16 mm. is easier to operate than 35 mm — although it can operate with
less expenditure of electrical energy — that the job of projection can be under-
taken successfully by anyone having the merest acquaintance with projection
technique. This point was emphasised very strongly in a paper delivered
before the Sub-Standard Division of the British Kinematograph Society by
W. Hine, managing director of Travelling Films, Ltd.
Mr. Hine's technicians, during the summer of 1944, put over a 16-mm.
show in a huge Air Force hangar to an audience of 3,000 in a first-class manner,
which won the approval of the troops present.
If a silver surface screen is used an audience should sit within an angle
of 40 degrees on either side of the axis; if a beaded screen, the audience should
be within 20 ft. No seat should be nearer the screen than three times its
width.
FURTHER year has passed with its wear and tear upon carpets, seating
and general furnishings, and in many cases, as surfaces have become
worn down, shabbiness has become more apparent. It is a testimony to the
wearing quality of material supplied in this department that it has stood up
so long to the intensified wear which accompanies war-time conditions.
Wilful damage appears to have been slightly less than in previous war
years, although annoying thefts of fittings still continue.
A certain amount of refurnishing and repair to seating and draperies
has been carried out during the year, especially where deterioration has
caused material to become dangerous and unhygienic.
WaltlirdawS have provided materials and service for such work in many
parts of the country, while Fosters (Curtains), Ltd., of Nottingham, reports
having carried out a number of contracts for furnishing where the exhibitor
has been able to obtain a licence from the Ministry of Works, a department
which the company declares is very reasonable when the need is really urgent.
The old-established firm of H. Lazarus & Son, Ltd., is still using all the
resources at its disposal to provide long-standing customers with essential
repairs and renovations, advising on ways to prevent deterioraxion and
awaiting the time when the company's experience may be exercised to the
full on new material.
Similarly, C. R. Harrison & Sons, Ltd., regrets having to ask customers
to wait for full deliveries of their well-known seating. As soon as that
portion of the works occupied by a Ministry is released, reversion to
production on a larger scale is hoped for.
Beck & Windibank is concentrating on renovation and re-upholstery,
carrying out repairs where possible on site, and where damage is too extensive
and spares are available, performing the repair at the works. Carpets and
floor coverings are also receiving attention to bide the time when larger
supplies will allow more generous renewal.
W. N. Lockwood, carrying on the old-established L. B. Lockwood & Co.,
reports that his seating and furnishing experts have been very largely
employed upon supplying seating and carpets in Government factory canteens
and camps. Service to old-established customers is given first priority
after Government orders are completed, and it is hoped shortly to increase
the attention to the demand from this direction.
W. W. Turner and Patersons (Glasgow), Ltd., are also busy on repair
service in which direction it has been possible to keep in use seating which
before the war would have been superseded by new. Paths Equipment,
having secured additional accommodation for seating and furnishing manu-
facture, anticipate being able to extend operations very widely in post-war
days.

Similarly, G. B.-Kalee. with Wing-Commander Bell in charge of the theatre
reconstruction department, and with the well-known Pixton seating factory
as a supply source, plan a large seating output with some interesting features.
It is the aim of G. B.-Kalee to supply everything needed inside the four walls
of the theatre.
Hall & Dixon states that during the last four years the firm has been
able to satisfy most of the demands which have come to them, although the
supply of material has been limited.
As more materials and labour become available exhibitors will find
that stage equipment of a higher grade and finish will appear, more easily
erected , and capable of greater adaptability and easier assembly.
The difficulty of obtaining new furnishing and coverings for seatings is
turning exhibitois' thoughts in the direction of cleaning those in use. The
furnishing specialists are carrying out this work as circumstances allow, and
the Davis Carpet and Upholstering Cleaners offer 1 on site " service for seating
which can be carried out overnight if necessary. Stage drapes, of course,
are removed for cleaning at the works.
Trinity Chair Works, Ltd., is satisfying customers in repairs and replace-
ments wherever and whenever supplies permit, although most of its energies are
absorbed in Government work.
KINEMA ILLUMINATION.
LECTURES and demonstrations held by the Electric Lighting Manufac-
turers' Association and the Illuminating Engineering Society are proofs
that spscialists have been at work through the dark days of lighting restriction
to produce better illumination units and to improve technique. Obviously,
when lower coal " winning " and a spell of bitter weather such as that which
marked the opening of 1945 have brought all consumers of light and heat
face to face with a crisis, kinema lighting must be kept at its lowest possible
point compatible with patron safety, but with easier conditions. When new
fitments come on to the market, it will be possible to produce better illumina-
tion from the new units without increase of any magnitude in current con-
sumption.
General Electric technicians have been engaged in developing discharge
lamps of the tube variety which exciting fluorescent powders emit radiation
over a wide area of the spectrum. These are expected to be made possible
for decorative lighting in auditoriums and foyer as soon as manufacture can
be started after the war is over.

The resources of W. J. Furse & Co., Ltd., like those of many other manu-
facturers, have been largely engaged in work of national importance, and
orders for kinema and theatre lighting can only be undertaken if a Government
permit is possible. R. Gillespie Williams, the company's theatre lighting
operative, is preparing plans for submission to exhibitors, whereby the
auditorium wall and the proscenium can be beautified with coloured lighting
effects.
Among the lighting accessories which F. H. Pride, Ltd., will have ready
for exhibitors when peace comes is a special reflector for the 5 ft. fluorescent
lamp. This reflector, specially designed and shaped for lamps in special
angles and curves in wall and ceiling, is promised a welcome reception when
refitting is again undertaken.
G. B.-Kales'S lighting engineers have, wherever possible, carried out
urgent maintenance work and effected renewals and replacement in situations
where they were severely needed. The company has also in mind the produc-
tion of new designs. Work during the past few years has been mainly upon
service and Government contracts. Pathe Equipment has also been doing
work for the Government in various places, contriving at the same time to
provide exhibitors with urgently needed supplies. R. R. Beard, Ltd., one
of the oldest established lighting companies, has been busy almost wholly
with Government work, but has new models of lighting equipment ready
for manufacture whenever release from present work allows.
Stage Lighting. — Activities of Strand Electric during 1944 have, as in
the previous four years, been mainly devoted to the war effort, but in the
latter part of the year it became possible for the company to spend more
time preparing for demands for their products and services in the post-war
era. The company has been on the " essential list " since the first few weeks
of the war, and has been responsible for the development of many types of
apparatus unknown a few years ago. The vast experience of production
methods, acquired during the war, will be used to full advantage when post-
war plans need no longer take second place.
PROJECTION APPARATUS,
FILM mutilation has been laid at many doors since lack of skilled
projectionists, of renters' examiners and repairers, of transport employers
has been so great. Projection apparatus must also bear its share, of the
blame as five years on many machines have made a big difference to their
efficiency.
Upon the whole it is surprising that mechanicians have stood up to the
work so long. Fortunately, there has been a fair quantity of spares suppliable
to replace worn parts, or damage to film would be greater. It says much for
the workmanship and material which have gone into projectors generally
that they have stood up to bad treatment in many cases without breakdown.
Licences to supply apparatus are only forthcoming after special scrutiny
by the Board of Trade; and where the needed mechanisms have to be
imported from America additional difficulties arise as imports are very much
restricted. Theatre equipment manufacture is of course greatly restricted in

Novel Spool Device.
An agitation for the use of 2,000 ft. -reels has brought the subject much
more prominently before the Trade than in preVious years. It is felt
that the adoption of a longer reel would do much to lessen film mutilation,
and meetings of the Trade representatives have spoken in favour of the
change. One criticism of the larger reel is the possibility of it losing its
centre, which might lead to chaos in the projection at an unfortunate
moment.
Suggestions have been made for a large diameter wood or bakelite core
for such a reel, and as a development of this idea, a spool which was exhibited
to meetings of projectionists and exhibitors in the early summer provides
an ingenious alternative. It is the invention of W. B. Dean, of Poyntors,
Cheshire, and consists of three parts. One spool cheek carries a cast boss
fitting the projector spindle, and has a female thread into which a thread
attached to the other cheek screws. A bobbin of wood or bakelite fits over
the former boss, and is located and driven by four lugs which fit into recesses
in the bobbin. The idea is that all films should be sent out on one of these
interchangeable bobbins. The projectionist receives the film in its tin ; he
takes off the tin lid, places the first half of the spool upon the fim reel,
engaging the metal boss with the bobbin. He then simply turns the tin and
spool over and removing the tin, screws the other half of the spool home.
An Interchangeable Spool Core.
Another ingenious spool idea is that patented by Robert Rigby, Ltd.,
an interchangeable spool centre of plastic material on the ordinary steel spool
cheeks.
The invention overcomes the difficulties of various standards of spool box
spindles. The simpler 5/16-in. spindle with driving key has been adopted as
the American standard ; the British standard is a 3/8 shaft with driving pin.
while Continental machines have a |-in. spindle.
The plastic bobbin of the Rigby spool centre, 5-in. in diameter, has a square
hole, inside which any onj of three bushes_of various sizes fits. Thus by the
use of the centre it is no longer necessary to hold stocks of spools only of the
three bushes.
The device, which is patented and bears the Rigby trade mark of
" Premier," was illustrated in the Ideal Kinema of September 14.
J. Frank BrockliSS, Ltd., the company which handles the Super-Simplex
projector, will still continue to receive and market its supply under the quota
established in the early days of the war. At the moment demand for this
mechanism is keen.
Under war-time conditions G. B. Kalee efforts in the commercial kinema
sphere are restricted to the essential replacement of worn-out and obsolete
equipment; and with the repair and servicing of current models.
In spite of production difficulties, the Kalee 12 Projector continues to
embody the excellent precision mechanism associated with the name of
"Kalee," while the Kalee "Vulcan" Automatic Arc Lamp, incorporating
a 10-in. mirror reflector, is now available to replace obsolete and worn-out
types. In addition to the " Vulcan " D.C. Arc Lamp, the company can
offer the Kalee A.C. Automatic Arc, which incorporates a 12-in. mirror
reflector and is used in conjunction with Kalee A.K. type Inductors,
embracing all the features of modern arc lamp practice.

The arc lamp fed by D.C. current maintains its popularity in the large
majority of kinemas, but the A.C. arc is making a slow but definite advance.
The chief fault urged against it by its critics is " nicker," but improvements
made during recent years have reduced this drawback considerably. One
introduction during the year claims to have reduced flicker to almost negligible
proportions, while improving the quality of light on the screen.
This is the Lum-Arc, in the lamp-house of which is set forward of the
arc itself a number of annular rings which reflect the light-rays from the
rear carbon back upon the mirror and help to sustain the light at an evenness
which is not achievable without. This arc, too, has the advantage that the
carbon-advancing mechanism is set at the rear of the lamp, and is thus easy
to retract for cleaning.
The Lum-Arc operates with a very efficient and compact reactive trans-
former unit, which has been given the title of the Accrometer.
Strong Electric Corporation is still finding the demand good for its well-
known A.C. arc, and supplies as they arrive are quickly sold. The Strong
Inductor is still a favourite among exhibitors for its efficiency and smoothness
of operation.
Rectifiers. — HewittiC Electric has not announced any spectacular technical
developments in kinema rectifiers during the past year, but has revealed
that the well-known '' Econotrol '' rectifier has, during this period, been
further developed and improved in detail. New types of bulbs are now
fitted which eliminate all exciter losses, and so increase the already notable
economy, which in some instances has actually saved enough in power costs
over a period of two or three years to pay for the substitution of obsolete
equipment by a modern "Econotrol." These equipments are available
in single- and twin-bulb types. Both types are of split cubicle construction,
which greatly facilitates installation where access is restricted.
Control of the " Econotrol " rectifier has bsen simplified to the highest
degree. The bringing together of the carbons automatically starts up the
rectifier which is, therefore, taking no current from the mains until it is
actually required to operate the arc. The operator has, at the projector, a
neat control box having a switch with three positions.
During the past year the total numbsr of Hewittic kinema rectifiers
supplied reached well past the 1,000 mark, despite war-time restrictions in
the kinema industry ; a number of the later installations are in the service
of the Forces.
WestinghOUSe, busy on war work, promises new developments in its
rectifiers, especially in the new Westalite, which employs selenium. In the
larger models built for large power applications this has been found extremely
satisfactory.
Other companies ready to enter the rectifier field with new models or
improvements on earlier ones include B.T.H., Electric Construction, Nevelin,
and Runbaken, the last-named specialising in the conversion of valve rectifiers
to metal.

The Kinematograph Year Book.
THE PROJECTION SCREEN.
CARE of the screen, its frequent superficial cleaning and its more thorough
treatment, has paid the exhibitor good dividends. Nevertheless,
deterioration must come with time, and a duller picture or impeded sound, or
both, result. Andrew Smith and Harkness, Ltd., find that where discoloration
or other fault is serious, it is possible to supply, and during the year screens
have been ordered from the four corners of Great Britain for commercial
kinemas and for Service halls.
Similarly Stableford All-Metal Screens, Ltd., has supplied screens in
large numbers and has carried out its resurfacing service in over 1,000
theatres.
E. G. Turner's speciality is the supply of every kind of screen on hire-
maintenance, and a busy 12 months lies behind. Whether white perforated,
opaque, metal or rear projection, E.G. has been able to supply both to com-
mercial and amateur customers.
Screen dressing is carried out by W .0. Friend, who markets Ex-Brilliant,
a preparation which can be applied by a member of the kinema staff with a
spray-gun.
SOUND REPRODUCER APPARATUS.
THE fifth year of the war has seen continued activity of RCA PhotO-
phone in the sound reproducer field. The equipping of Service kinemas
with high fidelity equipment has, of course, had first place, but numerous
civilian kinemas have also been fitted where the apparatus needed replace-
ment.
In the immediate post-war years RCA will offer exhibitors the very
latest developments in sound systems embodying many technical improve-
ments developed as a result of the vast output of the parent company to the
Services during the war. Such equipments will include a new streamlined
soundhead of even higher efficiency than before and an improved design of
stage loudspeaker system.
A brand-new design of professional 16-mm. sound reproducer will like-
wise be offered.
During the past year much progress has been made in Western Electric 's
plans for entirely new types of equipment which the company will introduce
after the war. Complete designs for reproducing equipment have been
built up in step with the latest recording technique so as to ensure maximum
results in the theatre. Western Electric continues to service and maintain
over 2,000 installations in the United Kingdom, while applying itself to the
design, development, and manufacture of highly specialised apparatus for
the war effort.
W.E. post-war plans include the supply of complete projection equip-
ment to complement coming sound systems. A full range of projector, arc,
and associated equipment suitable for all sizes of theatres will be available,
embodying everything that first-class modern engineering conception can
provide,
G.B.-Kalee. — Among the adequate range of equipment offered by
G.B.-Kalee, Ltd., for sound reproduction is the "T" series British Acoustic
with two different types of soundheads, G3 (superseding the G2) possessing
an improved driving method. This equipment, when in use with " Duo-
sonic " speakers and the Lansing- Shearer dynamic units, has been admirably
fitted to the Kalee 12 projector with Vulcan (or Kalee A.C.) arcs, forming a
complete unit. Seven versions of this equipment offer scope for kinemas
seating from 800 to 1,800 persons,
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique.
183
The amplifying chain in all the !: T " series is the new S.20 type, the
plurality of units which previously linked the photo-cells in the soundheads
to the speakers being replaced by two units only. The first unit can be
accommodated on the "box" wall, and the second, of rack construction,
occupying the minimum floor space, comprises power amplifier, switch
control panel and exciter lamp current supply units. The push-pull negative
feed-back output stage of the power amplifier gives 16 speech- watts with no
measurable second harmonic distortion and not more than 2 per cent, of
third or higher harmonic content. Five speech- watts are provided for the
monitor speaker. Hum level and liability to outside electrical interference
is nil because of the use of cathode-coupled cells and the elimination of iron-
cored chokes and transformers from all but the power output stage.
B,T.H. continues to supply the three models of sound reproducers for
three sizes of audience — 2,500, 1,000 to 2,500, and up to 1,000. Each model
utilises the rotary magnetic soundhead, the two larger models incorporating
the B.T.H. volume expansion feature.
A number of improved sound equipments is promised by VitavOX directly
release from production of apparatus needed for the war effort. These will
include microphones, amplifiers and loudspeakers.
MUSIC IN THE KINEMA
TKE large amount of precision war work which the John Compton Organ
Company, Ltd., has carried out during the past five years has greatly in-
creased the experience both of craftsmen and management. Many new methods
of manufacture have been evolved, and these will play their part in post-war
production of Compton Organs. New tonal features will be introduced,
thus increasing the appeal of organs to exhibitors and their public, and
recent discoveries will enable Compton mechanisms, already famous for
their reliability, to be further improved in construction and performance.
Thus the Compton staff remains virtually intact, and the change-over from
war-time production to organ-building will be accomplished with a minimum
of delay.
Major Wright, who has recently visited the Wurlitzer Organ works in
U.S.A., hopes it may be possible in post-war days to establish a factory in
Great Britain for the manufacture of musical instruments. He claims that
the only Wurlitzer organs out of commission in this country are those which
have suffered serious damage through enemy action and cannot be reinstated
until the control makes materials available. Wurlitzer Organs has been
kept busy through 1944 overhauling, cleaning and reconditioning their
organs, and there is every indication that demand will increase as soon as
normal trading is resumed.
Deaf-Aid Equipment. — Manufacturers have been obliged to turn their
skill into other channels during war time ; but release from this important
technical employment will mean improved kinema models. Ardente
technicians are working on post-war designs, amongst these an improved
type of lorgnette earphone.

The Kinematograph Year Book.
The company's engineers have evolved an extremely efficient inter-
communication system which will enable the box-office to receive particulars
of vacant seats from all parts of the house without the need to handle the
telephone.
Manufacturers of kinema sound reproducing equipment — -R.C.A., G.-B.
Kalee, B.T.H., and Western Electric — will also show advances in deaf-aid
equipment after the war.
UNIFORMS.
It is a testimony to the quality of the material supplied by suppliers
of kinema uniforms that so many of them which have been in wear since
the early days of the war still retain a great deal of their pristine appearance.
Wherever it is possible to secure sufficient coupons, Alfred Harold
(Uniforms), Ltd., is prepared to provide new uniforms from a limited stock of
material in hand.
Despite the pressure of essential work, Uniform Clothing and Equipment
is still able to devote a small portion of its production to uniforms and is
receiving orders from kinemas whose proprietors have been fortunate enough
to obtain coupons from their employees. The company is expecting a big
demand for uniforms when control of clothing is partially or wholly relaxed.
PUBLICITY.
EVERY showman hopes that during 1945 greater opportunities of attract-
ing the public by advertisement aid display may be possible. When
that moment arrives he will turn eagerly to those providers of publicity
material who have served him so well in the past to supply his needs.
The Girosign, Ltd.'S illuminated "still" frames proved to be one of the
most valuable publicity assets for exterior lobby displays, and in the near
future lighting restrictions will be fully removed and exhibitors will bs able
to resume this valuable form of publicity.
Where Girosign illuminated frames are installed exhibitors are assured
that they will as soon as possible be serviced with their specially prepared
stills suitable for illumination. Exhibitors who are not at present being
serviced by Girosign are assured that if they wish to instal illuminated frames
and have them serviced, the company will be in a position to give them
efficient service at short notice.
A. Coltman & Co., Ltd., are also specialists in front-of-house publicity
and have surprised customers in many places by their ability to supply
material despite the shortage. As more raw material becomes available, so
the Coltman service will expand.
National Screen Service is so well known for its trailer service that no
words are needed to emphasise their quality. The routine of supply is so
well organised that a let-down is almost impossible.
Stillograph, Ltd., is still supplying its mechanically controlled display
unit, and will greatly expand its services in post-war months.

BRITISH PRODUCTION
Studio Work in 1944
By James Benson.
NOTHER year has passed in which British film production has shown
itself able to make films of high merit in spite of the restricting conditions
of war-time, the chief of which are the lack of studio space and the
shortage of labour and material. Hopes were entertained during the year that
by the end of 1944, or at least in the first few weeks of 1945, some at least of
the studios which the Government had requisitioned for stores or workshops
would have been set free for their original uses, but these hopes were dis-
appointed.
Even had release of these premises been possible, the problem of equipment
would have seriously hindered any plans for production, as years of wear
without renewal of equipment have left those studios which have carried on
throughout the war period sadly short of up-to-date apparatus.
The problem of the scarcity of studio space was made more acute in July,
1944, when a flying bomb destroyed the Warner studios at Teddington, and
damaged much valuable studio equipment. In view of the fact that Warner
Bros, had been the most consistent producers of British pictures among
American companies, this loss was especially unfortunate: the more so as,
when the studios were not scheduled for production of Warner's British
pictures they had been let to other companies for productio; A deeply
regretted personal loss occasioned by the flying bomb was the death of
Doc Salomon, the studio manager, whose kindness and efficiency had
endeared him to everyone at Teddington.
In the effort to secure studio space the Board of Trade has been particularly
assiduous, endeavouring to find ways and means of helping producers to find
adequate accommodation. That the planning and work of this Government
department will greatly facilitate the occupation of studios by producers
directly the war stress is lessened is confidently expected.
In consultation with owners of studios and producers of films the Board
put forward a suggestion, which was generally well received , that studio space
should be pooled so that advantage could be taken of any floor space tempo-
rarily available in any studio. In this direction one of the recommendations
of the Film Council's sub-committee's Monopoly Report was anticipated ;
the recommendation in this report was that a system of control should be
adopted by the Board of Trade to guarantee a fair allocation of studio space
as between independent and integrated production until such time as adequate
relief is afforded by the release of requisitioned studios on a sufficiently large
scale or the construction of new studios.
During subsequent discussions on the Report by trade bodies this recom-
mendation was generally approved, except that some sections thought it
batter that the system should be a voluntary one and not one which the Board
of Trade could impose upon studio owners.
The provision of new apparatus with which to equip studios as they become
de-requisitioned has also created a problem difficult of solution. Films
produced during the year have, on the technical side, owed a tremendous
deal to the ingenuity and skill of studio technicians, operating frequently with
224
British Production.
mechanisms and material which except for war conditions would have been
superseded by later models of newer construction.
In order to discover the more or less exact apparatus requirements of
British filrn producers, the Board of Trade issued a questionnaire to producers
during the year asking for an estimate of technical apparatus which would
be needed. But the answers to the questionnaire only set a further problem
British manufacturers of such equipment were still busily engaged in manu-
facturing war essentials, and the turning over of their workshops to the
production of studio material seemed likely to lag behind demand.
Imports of material from America — the only possible alternative — produced
a complication in that the Treasury has to be unceasingly attentive to the
dollar exchange situation and is unwilling to grant facilities for import if by
any means equipment can bs manufactured and supplied from British
factories.
FOOTAGE AND PERCENTAGE. — In spite of the many handicaps
attending British production, eight more long films (those over 3,000 ft.) were
registered in the year ending March 31, 1944, than during the corresponding
period of 1943, with increased footage amounting to 21,723 ft.
The actual figures for the period above-mentioned are —
No. of films. Reg- length (ft.) Renters' quota length.
70 460,280 818,213
Of the above figures, 25 films, with a footage of 95,574 ft. were for exhibitors'
quota only (against 17, with 75,347 ft., in the 1943 period) ; single renters' quota,
13 films, totalling 91,314 ft. (against 17, with 129.812 ft.) '; double renters'
quota, 11, of 93,277 ft., doubling to 186,554 ft. (against 20, with 161,479 ft.,
doubling to 322,958 ft.) ; 21 treble quota films, totalling 180,115 ft., trebling
to 540,345 ft. (as against 8, totalling 71,919 ft., trebling to 215,757 ft.). Thus,
while actual footage of British films produced rose only 21,723 ft., or 4 per cent.,
the renters' quota credit rose by 149,686 ft. or 22 per cent. The percentage
increase to exhibitors was 13 per cent., largely due to the 50 per cent, increase
in exhibitors' quota films.
Short films produced showed a big drop from 189 in the 1943 period to 128
in the vear ended March 31, 1944. Footage was also down from 206,171 ft.
to 156,591 ft.
In 1939, what may be considered the last pre-war year (although war had
been embarked upon six months before the end of that period), the British long
films produced were 103 and short films 275.
Percentage of British films produced to satisfy renters' quota on the total
handled (British and foreign) were 24T9 long films, and 27T short films,
both well above the percentage requirements for the period of 15 per cent,
exhibitors and 20 per cant, renters.
During the nine months from April 1 to December 31, 1944, 46 long films,
with a total footage of 316,543, were registered, comparing with 51 in the same
period of 1943, with a total footage of 349,537 ft. There were three films of
over 10,000 ft. each in each period.
A Draft Order which was placed on the table of the Houses of Parliament
in December, 1944, and approved, governs quota figures for the next three
years. For the quota year April 1, 1945, to March 31, 1946, renters' quota
remains as at present, at 20 per cent, (with exhibitors for year beginning
October 1 at 15 per cent.) ; but in the following quota year 1946-47 it
rises 1\ per cent, to 22^, and in 1947-48 a further 2\ per cent, to 25,
exhibitors' quota rising at a similar rate from the present 15 per cent. The
short film quota will, as from the quota year 1945-46, follow the figures of the
Act of 1938, and will be as follows: 1945-46, renters, 22$; exhibitors, 20 per
cent.' ; 1946-47 and 1947-48, renters, 25, and exhibitors, 22\ per cent.
With a prospect of rising quota in 12 months time should come a stimulus
to production, and by this time studios should be released and fully equipped.
British Production.

Another change which has been made in quota regulations was necessi-
tated by the increased costs of production caused largely by higher remuneration
of labour. The Cinematograph Films Act, 1938, imposed certain labour
tests in connection with renters' quota for long films. In particular it pro-
vided that no long film could count for renters' quota unless its labour costs
amounted to at least £7,500 and to at least £1 per foot of finished negative.
Films whose total labour costs amounted to between £22,500 and £37,500
and between £3 and £5 per foot, could count as double quota, while films
whose total labour costs amounted to at least £37,500 and £5 or more per foot,
could count as treble quota.
The Board of Trade is empowered under the 1938 Act (Section 36) to
alter these labour cost tests by Order after approval in draft by both Houses
of Parliament. This step has now been taken, and a 50 per cent, increase
has been made on the original figures.
The increase also affects the regulations introduced in 1942 under which
a renter may discharge part of his quota obligation by acquiring for dis-
tribution in a foreign country a film for which he has paid at least £20,000,
his quota obligation being reduced, by the foot for every £2 paid for foreign
rights. This arrangement also becomes subject to a 50 per cent, increase,
the figure for a film acquired being at least £30,000 at the rate of £3 per foot.
The Order under which these powers are given is S.R. & O., 1945, No. 314.
FOREIGN MARKETS.
OPINION is still divided in producing circles regarding the policy which
should be followed in making films in British studios. Should large-
scale attempts be made, by expenditure of big money to produce films which
shall break into the American market because of their equality with the
best U.S. films, or should producers be content to make films at a more
moderate figure, expressive of British life and ideals, capable of being booked
widely in Great Britain and British Commonwealth markets, and with
sufficient appeal to obtain bookings in European countries in dubbed or sub-
titled versions ?
J. Arthur Rank believes in the bold policy of making films on the lavish
scale of a standard which will not suffer when compared with the Hollywood
product (indeed, he has expressed his preference to be without quota assistance
in the British market), while other producers, Michael Balcon and Mark
Ostrer for instance, favour the making of honest-to-goodness films of more
moderate budget which will find their costs covered without any but occasional
returns from America.
The Monopoly Report (Paragraph 4) expresses the opinion that first
consideration in the allocation of studio space should be given to the pro-
duction of a larger number of medium-cost feature pictures rather than to
a smaller number of highly speculative luxury products which may or may
not prove acceptable overseas.
Mr. Rank has taken active steps to obtain a market overseas for the
product of his studios and producing companies. In addition, to establishing
an organisation in America to market films there, he entered into an agree-
ment with Spyros Skouras, president of Twentieth-Century Fox in June last,
whereby the distribution facilities of that corporation might be available
in Australia and elsewhere, and " The Way Ahead," a picture for which
Mr. Rank desired early distribution in America, might be accorded priority
through Twentieth-Fox's physical distribution channels. Unfortunately,
the raw stock shortage in the States prevented Mr. Rank's desire reaching
early fulfilment. Other films made by Mr. Rank's companies, were taken
for American distribution by United Artists. These include " Henry V,"
H
226
The Kinematograph Year Bodk.
"Blithe Spirit," "Mr. Emmanuel," "English Without Tears," "Caesar
and Cleopatra " and " This Happy Breed."
Other arrangements for overseas distribution made by Eagle-Lion, the
renting organisation which handles the product of the Rank studios, include
a 50 per cent, share capital purchase of British Distributors (India), Ltd.,
a company distributing British films throughout India and the near East,
with branch offices in China, and a buy-into A. B. Luxfilm of Stockholm,
which will secure British films reaching Swedish, Finnish and eventually
Norwegian kinemas. E. T. Carr, Eagle-Lion's managing director, arranged
these deals, visiting Stockholm and India by air and halting at Cairo where
a branch office has been established, and visiting Madrid to arrange for
distribution in the Iberian peninsula.
The British Commonwealth Film Corporation formed to promote the
distribution of dubbed or sub-titled versions of British films in liberated
countries, has prepared a number of films for French and Italian markets.
The Ministry of Information undertook to provide distribution facilities for
these films, but up to the end of 1944, very few screenings of these films had
been secured on the Continent.
TECHNICAL PROGRESS.
PURSUING the aim of ensuring that films made in Great Britain shall
be the equal technically as well as artistically of those made in America,
Mr. Rank despatched to Hollywood on a survey visit, Ronald Neame, one
of Britain's leading cameramen. His task included the discovery of the
reasons why Hollywood is able to make films cheaper and quicker than in
Great Britain. This, he reported, was largely due to the functioning of large,
and admittedly expensive off-floor departments, which speed-up production
and save money.
Mr. Neame's recommendations were that more attention should be
given by actors and actresses to clearer speaking. That our studios should
have more space in order to make pictures quickly and efficiently ; that a
co-operation between studios such as exists in Hollywood, whereby all
studios benefit from new ideas or equipment emanating from one studio or
laboratory. His firm opinion is that U.S. technicians are not more competent
than British, but that the latter must realise what are the shortcomings in
studio' organisation which stand in the way of achieving best results.
With regard to the improvement of acting technique and delivery of
lines in a clear and unaffected voice, Sir Alexander Korda has undertaken
to defray up to £5,000 the expenses of a commission, appointed by Oxford
University, to visit America and report upon the study of the drama and
films at U.S. universities, preparatory to making recommendations for such
study at Oxford.
Sir Alexander has also provided 10 scholarships for ex-Servicemen and
women at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art with a gift of £5,000. Each
scholarship is of two years' duration and is worth £500, which will cover
living expenses and tuition fees. A trust has been created to hold responsi-
bility for the money deposited.
LABOUR IN THE STUDIOS.
A BOLD effort was made during the year to put an end to the annoying
stoppages and refusals to work overtime in studios. It was sought to
accomplish this by establishing a weekly agreement with the N.A.T.K.E.
and E.T.U., so that its members might not be subject to a day-to-day employ-
ment and enjoy conditions more favourable than before.
The early steps were taken by J. Arthur Rank, who, with W. Glenvil
Hall, M.P., and the newly appointed B.F.P.A. director of personnel, met
British Production.

union representatives in June, and these resulted in a four- year agreement
being signed and implemented during the last week of August with retrospec-
tive effect to June 1. Briefly the agreement established a 47-hour week,
two weeks' holiday with pay per year, and an increase of the hourly wage,
which was merged with the war bonus.
Among minor disputes during the year were an unofficial strike at
Riverside Studios in April, due to the dismissal of certain men whom the
fellow members of the N.A.T.K.E. declared were being victimised. This
was settled by the men being found employment at another studio.
Relations between the B.F.P.A. and the A.C.T. have been smoother
during the year, differences being limited to interpretation of the Studio
agreement. The A.C.T. has, however, decided to give notice of the termina-
tion of the agreement, which has run its initial two-year period.
The demand by the Film Artistes' Association for a closed shop for
crowd artistes was refused by the British Film Producers' Association, who
referred the differences between themselves and the union to the Ministry
of Labour. The decision of the Ministry failed to establish the demand
although a working arrangement for the employment of crowd artistes was
reached.
In November the conditions under which children should be employed
in film studios was examined by the London County Council Education Com-
mittee, which suggested that maximum hours of child employment in film
studios should be incorporated in the rules of the new Education Act. The
L.C.C. by-laws limit employment to two hours daily including Saturdays,
whereas in other county areas a child as young as 12 years may during holiday
periods be employed as many as 86 hours in a week. There is nothirg to
prevent a child living in the London area working in a studio outside that
area for that length of time. Restriction of working hours should, the
Committee suggests, be made uniform throughout the country, and legislation
should be passed to govern the child's health and an allocation of its earnings.
INSTRUCTIONAL AND PROPAGANDA FILMS.
ALTHOUGH recognised in pre-war days as a potent medium of propaganda
and a powerful aid to the teacher and technical instructor, it was not
until the need to instruct with the minimum of delay for war purposes that
the educational and instructional film came to be recognised at its true
value. This is now largely a matter of history ; yet the demand for film
stock for instructional purposes by some Government Departments remains
almost as high as ever. Indeed, it has been recently calculated that roughly
one-third of the total raw stock processed by British laboratories is ear-
marked by Government Departments for the war effort. Of this proportion,
which amounts to about 150,000,000 ft., it is estimated that half is for the
Services and half for British propaganda overseas.
Not counting trailers or flashes, the Ministry of Information required
about 89,000 ft. of negative for films issued under its auspices. Of this
total, 11 subjects marked as Mainly Instructional absorbed 11,000 ft. while
14 subjects, destined primarily or totally for overseas use, absorbed a
further 18,000 ft.
A specialised form of film production is that carried out by the Colonial
Film Unit, which during the year has made 30 subjects on 16-nim. silent
films, totalling over 14,000 ft. These are mainly shown in and around
Central Africa, to instruct natives in the work being done by the British
Empire throughout the world and especially to give information regarding
Great Britain's part in the world war.
The films are made under the guidance of experts who have spent many-
years among the less-developed minds of African villages. The films made

for this purpose are of a simple character, emphasising details which civilised
peoples would not need to regard. They are "road-shown" in villages
from within a mud-hut projection room on one end of which a projection
screen is fixed by the visiting operator.
THE use of films in schools has not made great strides during the year,
due almost entirely to the fact that 16-mm. projectors, both silent and
sound, have been entirely in use by the Services' educational and instructional
sections. Their release from such activities will not come immediately after
the end of the war, as it is foreseen that projectors will be employed on other
training work such as preparing those who are to re-enter civilian life for
technical processes which they will carry out in post-war days.
Progressive educational authorities are, however, keen on increasing the
number of projectors in their area, and in building up libraries of films for
loan to schools. One aspect of school use which has impressed itself very
deeply on the minds of educationists is the terrific need for the use of films in
ex-occupied countries, where school children are without books, pens, paper
or any other of the needs of education. Here it is thought that wherever a
school has been preserved from destruction by warfare projectors should be
brought into use and a supply of instructional films be ensured in order that
until the supply of normal schoolbooks becomes available — and even after —
instruction may be provided by films orally supplemented either from the
sound-track or by the teacher.
The British Film Institute has been giving close attention to the layout
of projection rooms and theatres in schools and has presented conclusions
in a small booklet, " School Design," Is., in which diagrams assist the text
in explaining the best method of planning. This, with the booklet, " Teaching
with School Projectors," published, last year by the Institute, will be found
very helpful to all who are planning film education.
But it is not in sub-standard alone or in its parent of 35-mm. size that
education may be provided from film. Many of those who have to educate
backward races, and some of those who deal with the slower mind processes
of backward children, have realised that the film with its change of picture at
16 or 24 frames a second is too rapid a medium. They have been attracted
by the facilities offered by the film-strip projector, a lighter and more easily
handled improvement upon the old " magic lantern." The strip of film
carrying the pictures is of 35-mm. width, and the frame is held on the screen
for a sufficient length of time for the lecturer to explain fully the points he
wishes to make to the class and examine the children briefly upon what they
see on the screen.
Recently, a new model of sturdy construction and of pleasing appearance
has been placed upon the market by Dufay-Chromex, Ltd., which, when
released in larger numbers after the war, should meet with a large demand.
Hitherto it has been produced mainly for Government uses.
Dufay-Chromex, Ltd., is able also to produce "slide" frames from
owners' negatives and combine them with captions on a film-strip. The model
was illustrated and described in the Ideal Kinema for March, 1945.
'HE British Film Producers' Association continues to expand its activities.
A During the year now passed it has had under consideration plans for
pooling studio space, economies in clothing and sets for film productions,
estimates of studio apparatus which will be required to equip efficiently the
studios as they are released, observations on the Monopoly Report, the

possibility of modifying the rules so as to admit American companies to
membership, as well as a number of internal domestic readjustments.
One of the most fruitful of the activities has been the appointment of
D. Marsden Jones to act for the Association in all matters of labour in the
studios. Previously all negotiations were handled direct by a Labour Sub-
committee, but the manifold tasks which that committee had to carry out
in lengthy negotiations made such inroads into the time of members who
were in danger of neglecting their own business, that a change was imperative.
Now Mr. Marsden Jones handles all matters connected with labour, and has
found plenty of opportunities for his talents in handling unofficial strikes and
helping to draft labour agreements.
The Association Of Cine Technicians has had the advantage during the
year of its former President, Anthony Asquith, returning to office following
a resignation due to a disagreement with the policy followed by the Association
on an important matter.
It has supported the main conclusions of the Monopoly Report, hag
outlined its own plans for the reorganisation of the industry and has fiercely
opposed the introduction of foreign technicians into British studios except
under an exchange system.
In an attempt to further this proposed exchange, it requested Ronald
Neame, who is a member of the A.C.T., to interview officials of the equivalent
union in the United States. Mr. Neame did so, but the scheme did not meet
with the success which had been hoj^ed. Consequently, when Wesley Ruggles
wished to import two technicans to England to make a picture here, he was
only allowed to bring one. It should be pointed out, however, that America
has its own restrictions on studio workers' difficulties impeding the exchange
of technicians between Hollywood and New York.
The A.C.T. published in April last its plan for post-war educational films
and a memorandum demanding State control of the industry.
While the A.C.T. is recognised as the appropriate labour union for studio
technicians, the National Association of Theatre and Kine Employees takes
care of the interests of other workers except those who are members of the
Electrical Trade Union.
In the early part of 1944, a number of differences between employers
and employed, including an unofficial strike at Riverside Studios which was
referred to the Ministry of Labour, led to a certain amount of disorganisation.
Meetings between officials of the B.F.P.A. and the N.A.T.K.E. resulted
in the drafting of a new agreement on a weekly basis in an attempt to be done
once and for all with stoppages. This has not, however, put an end to
difficulties as a strict interpretation of the letter of the agreement led to the
question having to be referred to the Ministry of Labour, while an unofficial
strike early in 1945 held up for some weeks the making of a War Office film.
It is hoped, however, that the agreement will prove to be the means of
avoiding serious friction in the future.
The British Kinematograph Society by its very constitution is raised
above controversies associated with wages and conditions of employment.
Its end is educational and its aim to include all technicians in a society for
mutual benefit. Its membership in 1944 rose with a steep curve to 555, and
its importance in the industry warrants it in its intention to make application
to become a learned society. Its activities among studio technicians will
be taken care of by its Film Production Division, while it has organised a
Film Education Council, in which Government departments are represented.
The Film Production Division will organise lectures and discussions both
in London and at the various studios thus doing for studio technicians what
other divisions are doing for sub-standard and theatre personnel and generally
for all members.

Sub-standard producers' interests are looked after commercially by the
Sub-Standard Cinematograph Association which has recently overhauled its
constitution to make it possible to handle this side of the production section
with greater efficiency. Affiliated to this organisation is the Association of
Short Film Producers. A rival body, the British Short Film Makers' Society,
was formerly linked with the A.S.F.P., but broke with it when the A.S.F.P.
asked the Government to impose a labour costs test on short films, a request
which was unsuccessful.
FILM STOCK AND PROCESSING.
NEEDS of aerial photography have led to a great deal of research being
carried out to increase sensitivity of emulsions and improve processing
in the laboratory, and when this finer material becomes available for pro-
duction in this country a distinct increase of quality in the screened picture
will result.
The Kodak plant at Rochester, New York, and at Harrow will produce
film with fine-grain emulsion of great sensitivity and augmented speed, and
laboratories are preparing for its use with the aim of obtaining high quality
results.
Ilford also, which designed and built a new laboratory in the year
immediately before the war for the purpose of conducting research into
problems relating to motion picture stocks, will have improved material to
offer when release from immediate war-time needs is reached.
The processing laboratories are awake to the new technique which will
be necessary to exploit the qualities of the new emulsions, and Olympic
Kine Laboratories, under John Ojerholm ; George Humphries, under Randal
Terraneau, and Denham Laboratories, under William Harcourt, are particu-
larly alive to the improvements in the material they will be required to handle
and the most scientific methods to be adopted.

Ilford success.
In the six Ilford factories research goes on
unceasingly to maintain the high standard of
quality which has distinguished Ilford materials
for nearly 70 years.
Modern manufacturing methods and a practical
knowledge of the needs of the Cine Industry will
enable Ilford Limited, as soon as conditions
allow, to supply a range of negative and positive

Processing of sub-standard material has its own special problems, and
the demand upon the laboratories specialising in this department and our
Service authorities have engaged the full attention of such laboratories. In
this field of activities J. Scott Russell has devoted attention expressly to
16-mm. problems, over the last 15 years and has installed a specially designed
laboratory for the purpose.
CAMERAS.
DEMAND upon cameras has been very heavy in all directions as Service
needs have been added to the normal requirements of studio and
newsreel. As studio floor space becomes available, the demand will be
intensified and new cameras will be required to supplement those which have
been doing service faithfully during the war years. Many of these at present
in use are American, and some import of new models from U.S. is seen as a
necessity until British models are able to be substituted.
W. Vinten, Ltd., has this year produced a new model at their N.W.
London workshops, and this first saw service with the armies which invaded
the Continent on D-day, recording some remarkable shots for the M. of I.
special " Left of the Line."
It is the firm's model " K " which has two major features in its favour.
For newsreel (and especially "under fire ") work, its total weight of 14 lb.
6 oz., against the normal 28 lb., makes it very portable. The casing of
electron weighs only 8£ oz. The daylight loading spools and magazines are
loaded with 200 ft. of stock in the place of the usual 100 ft. or less. The
camera accommodates a 3-lens turret (for 6 in., 2 in. and 35 mm. in comformity
with Army advice) and a view-finder with accurate adjustment for parallax.
There is also a quick-fit filter holder and a special tripod.
Vinten's model " Ks " are built for spring and motor drive, the spring
taking a 50 ft. length of film at one wind. For motor use the company
engineers have designed a 7 lb. accumulator equipment, which, strapped to
the cameraman's waist, enables 2,000 ft. of film to be shot without replacement.
New Studio Camera. — While the company expects a revised version of
the model " K " (to be known as the Vinten-Normandy) to be used extensively
in post-war newsreel work, even greater expectations are entertained for the
latest camera design, the model " J."
This model is for studio work and has now been licensed by the Board of
Trade to be placed on the market. Vinten claims that it will be a big surprise
to the trade, being in every way equal to any foreign design used in British
studios to-day.
Since the war the company has perfected its H.S. 300 and H.S. 2,000
high-speed cameras, which, like the model " K," are in use by nearly every
military and government department. They record at 300 f.p.s. and 2,000
f.p.s. (the latter adopting the system of 40 lenses acting as the shutter in
synchronisation with a smooth movement by the film) respectively.
Model E enables any lens fromT in. upwards to be installed instead of a
2-in., as in Model A, and has the focusing sight built in. The various modifi-
cations and improvements have been achieved with very little increase in
weight.
A long schedule of priority orders will keep the company fully occupied
for at least 12 months, but efforts will be made to produce progressive models
as opportunity affords.
As in former years, Taylor, Taylor and Hobson, Ltd., has been well to
the fore with lenses which, highly corrected and constructed by experts,
are in use in every studio. This firm, like many others, has been intensively
engaged on the production of lenses for important war work, and the technique
required for these will be employed in lenses produced in immediate post-
war days.

STUDIO LIGHTING.
STUDIO lighting equipment is likely to include new models as soon as
release from war work permits. Already Mole- Richardson (England),
Ltd., is busy building up in its British workshops various types from British
and American components. Indeed, this company has shown great ingenuity
and enterprise in discovering ways of wedding British-made material to the
essential American parts which have made the firm's name a familiar one
in American studios. The firm's Du-Arc type 40, an improved twin-arc
broadside, has been winning much praise at Denham, where it is installed,
for its flickerless high intensity illumination and long burning period free
from change of carbons.
The supply of bi-post lamps for film production has been among the
difficulties of the war, but G.E.C. has enabled the obstacles to be over-
come and production maintained. One of the greatest steps that have been
completed during war time is the successful development of reliable 230-v.
2 and 5 kw. bi-post lamps. The production of 230-v. high-wattage studio
lamps baffled lamp engineers throughout the world for some time, the stresses
to which high efficiency filaments are subjected being so great that in many
cases lamps failed. The problem was at length solved and failure is a very
rare occurrence nowadays. Bulbs are now specially annealed, and the
mechanical strength of the lamps greatly increased thereby. G.E.C. pro-
poses shortly to introduce 5-kw. lamps having a tubular bulb of the same
diameter as the present round bulb which will go into the modern spotlights
without any alteration to the spotlight, but since the bulb will be rather
larger in surface area the temperature of the glass in a fitting will not be as
high as with the round bulb ; consequently a longer life may be expected
from the lamps before there are any signs of blackening or blistering. Special
high-colour temperature lamps, suitable for colour work, are also expected
shortly.
SOUND RECORDING.
CHANGES in sound recording equipment during the war period have been
mainly in matters of detail, the technique of recording remaining
unchanged.
Western Electric anticipates that post-war recording equipment will
reflect the improvements in detail which have been discovered useful and
expect much from the RA-112 Recorder, a portable apparatus capable of
recording simultaneously 13 variable area sound-tracks on a 35-mm. film
This model has been used with great success in testing aeroplane vibration.
RCA has a new model recording equipment, PM. 38E. It is the latest
version of the well-known High Fidelity de Luxe equipment, embodying
the ultra-violet optical system and push-pull or standard methods of recording
and electronic compression.
PM.45 mobile equipment is a smaller version of the former, designed for
small studio use and able to perform the dual function of direct recording
on either 35-mm. or 16-mm. film. This equipment also utilises the ultra-
violet process and electronic mixing and can be adapted for fitment into a
small truck or utility van. PM.44 is a very recent development of the RCA
recording system and is a single film sound recorder of extremely light weight
and great portability utilising Class B push-pull recording. It can easily be
attached to a Mitchell camera, and affords a long awaited facility for news-
reel companies.
SUB-STANDARD PRESERVATION.
PROBLEMS of preservation as regards 35-mm. film have been largely
overcome by the adoption of more or less standard methods ; but
different problems arise with reversal originals of the 16-mm. type, especially
those shot in Kodachrome,
British Production.
235
The problem, has been attacked in a paper read before the Society of
Motion Picture Engineers, from which the following is extracted.
It cannot be accomplished by present haphazard and planless approach ;
for example, a Kodachrome original of long-term usefulness (as judged by
the subject matter) that is handled in the present planless way will not last
even six months. Such a film will be torn to shreds long before it has out-
lived its usefulness.
Under war-time conditions, the prospect of a six months' probable life
of a Kodachrome original is quite discouraging. Assuming proper basic
treatment, this might run to 20 years or more. While the calendar life of a
Kodachrome original may be considerably longer during peace time than
during war, this results far more from the fact that the total number of
prints of the subject is smaller than because the handling of the material is
batter cor-ordinated and planned.
The general method is not new ; a modification of it has been used for
years by the entertainment motion picture industry. Briefly, there are
three stages of storage :
Stage 1. — The originals (in the custody of the owner) are in "dead"
storage under suitable conditions. (Temperature constant and maintained
in the range 40 to 50 F.).
Stage 2. — The intermediate copies (in the custody of the laboratory
or other processor) are in " live " storage under the best conditions possible,
yet assuring ready availability for the making of copies. The intermediate
copies are used to provide release prints.
Stage 3. — The release prints — available for ready use, yet' stored under
the best available conditions. (Temperatures above room temperature and
sudden changes in temperature to be avoided where possible.)
Once each year the originals are withdrawn from storage. The user
of the subject advises the laboratory or processor of the probable require-
ments for release prints for the forthcoming year. The laboratory is then
asked to make up all intermediate copies (derived directly from the originals)
necessary for a full-year's operation. These are all made up at one time.
As soon as the intermediate copies specified above are completed the
originals are returned to the owner for Stage 1 storage for the forthcoming
year. Storage for 51 weeks of the year and use for one week, as indicated,
would represent a typical schedule.
A question often asked is." What is the largest number of Kodachrome
duplicates possible from a Kodachrome original — assuming that the originals
are properly stored and handled ? " If printing intermediate copies are
made for release printing at least 50 intermediates can be made Irom a
In m\nd
236
The Kinematograph Year Book.
Kodachrome original properly prepared and carefully handled. If each of
these intermediate copies is used to make release prints, at least 50 release
prints can be made from each intermediate copy. If each intermediate copy
is printed as a one-light master (as it should be in most cases), the number of
release prints from an intermediate master copy may be increased to 100 or
150 ; on some films already printed the number has run over 250. A good
place to start, however, will be 50 prints from each intermediate copy.
For proper storage, it is advisable to follow closely the recommendations
of the film nanufacturers. For Kodachrome, it is first necessary to clean
the film lightly yet thoroughly ; carbon tetrachloride sparingly applied is
probably the best cleaning agent. The film should be wound firmly on a core
without cinching and placed in an ordinary metal film can. Cleaning and
packing is best performed in a dust-free air-conditioned room where the
temperature is near 65 or 70 F. and the relative humidity around 40 per cent.
After sealing, put the cans — lying flat— in an electric refrigerator set to
maintain a constant temperature in the range of 40 to 50 F.
For the black-and-white sound-track negative, it is desirable that it be
made upon film base of low shrinkage (such as Eastman Kodak 5372). The
only other physical requirement at this time is that the film be properlv
washed and dried.
COLOUR.
PRODUCTION of colour films in this country has been considerably hindered
by the inability of Technicolor — the only system actively in the field — to
meet the full requirements of producers and renters. The demand of the
services for instructional films and copies of entertainment films absorbs
practically all the available labour and facilities of the company, with the
result that badly needed copies of British and American films have been
greatly delayed. Three important British films in Technicolor released during
the year were "This Happy Breed," "Henry V" and "Western Ap-
proaches."
Practically the whole of the activities of Dufay color have been devoted
to work for Government departments, with little material and labour free
for ordinary commercial film. Nevertheless some valuable work has been
done in the medical and surgical field, where the colour fidelity of the process
has caused it to be extensively used.
After the war the company intends putting its 35 mm. standard fikn
out on a nitrate base, thus avoiding a number of difficulties unseparated from
the acetate base used in the the pre-war period.
An interesting development is the invention by Dufaycolor of a film-strip
projector for instructional use, by means of which photographic records on
35 mm. frames can be thrown on to a screen. The design of the projector avoids
any overheating of the film and promises to be a useful adjunct to the ap-
paratus of teaching.
In America, the possibilities of development of other colour systems
are' being examined, and claims are- being advanced for integral longer
systems similar in method to Kodachrome, which, it is hoped, may hold
the field against the prevailing Technicolor. Chief among these is Ansco
Color, produced by the Ansco Division of General Aniline and Film Corpora-
tion. This American company is exploiting and improving the Agfa-Ansco
process of pre-war days, which had already achieved some very attractive
colour transparencies.
Cinecolor has been used for exteriors and at least one feature film ;
while the Gasparcolor process, much improved, offers a colour printing process
which is looked upon favourably by some colour experts. Technicolor has
also a colour negative system for use with cameras employing monochrome
film ; but this is not far enough developed to come into popular use.

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.
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.

**The Ideal Kinenia" — — — — —
^HE following recomrru ndation from its Technical
Committee was accept id by the General Council of
theC.E.A.atits meeting in London on Wednesday, July 14:—
" Your Committee would also draw attention to the excellent
technical reports which appear in the Technical Supplement
of the Kinematograph Weekly ("The Ideal Kinema"),
and the view was expressed that very often these excellent
articles seldom got beyond the manager's desk.
"Your Committee would direct the attention of members
who subscribe to the Kinematograph Weekly, the
desirability of passing on the Technical Supplement to their
projection-room staff."

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-^60 = 16f 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.
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. 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.
Amy I 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 ; 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
7 to 10 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-phasc motor circuits always fuse heavily.
