FIRE APPLIANCES
A YEAR OF STRUGGLE
By S. G. Rayment,
Editor of Kinematograph Weekly.
IF the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, the Trade, in its
struggle through 1941, has certainly paid up fully.
And it is only fair to say that it has retained a bigger
measure of liberty than could at one time have been
anticipated. Ceaseless watch and immediate counteraction
to the many threats from outside have kept the Industry
running on an almost' even keel. Let nobody think that
circumstances have been easy ; perplexities and anxieties
have been constantly with us, but thanks largely to clever
anticipatory measures, for which the head offices of the
organisations deserve the greatest credit, and thanks also to
the abnormal conditions which have taken with one hand
but given with the other, the great majority of enterprises
have enjoyed a prosperous period.
Of course, the only value in looking back is to put us in a
better position to look forward, and some of the lessons we
have learned in 1941 are very useful when we have to face
a future which, at the very best, must present many pitfalls.
However, we have certainly kept our morale, and it is reason-
able to say our stock has risen, whether we are considering
the Industry merely as a commercial undertaking or we look
upon ourselves, as we should, as units of a great community
facing unforeseeable perils.
It has not been very publicly recognised, but the one vital
factor of the war, upon which our welfare — in addition to
many far more important matters — depends, has been the
Battle of the Atlantic. Deliveries of American product have
been systematically made, and as we have a group of never-
say-die producers working hard in this country, the antici-
pated shortage of features has been averted. It is not too
much to say that the average programme shown in the kinemas
is quite up to the normal of peace time, and occasionally
beyond it. Our standard has been maintained at a.periool
when almost every other has fallen.

8 The Kinematograph Year Book.
When I wrote an introduction to the Kine. Year Book this
time last year, I expressed confidence in the resilience of our
Industry, and this has been amply justified. For we have not
kept up so high a quality of entertainment without consider-
able strain. As far as the paying public is concerned, there
have been no discomforts or signs of disorganisation ; all the
internal adjustments have been made with such unobtrusive
efficiency that we can claim to have kept our troubles to
ourselves.
How long this can be maintained nobody dare prophesy,
because there are difficulties ahead which must steadify become
more acute. The average kinema is equipped and furnished
in excellent style, and the policy has always been to keep
every detail up to the mark. There is, however, a time coming
when replacements will be more and more hard to make, and
eventually they will be impossible until factories can return to
their peace time activities.
At the end of the year the chief cause of anxiety was the sup-
ply of valves for sound reproducers, and technical advisers
could hold out little hope of our reservoirs being restocked.
August was mentioned as the earliest date for replacements
to be available, and as the projectionist gets no warning of
a breakdown, it is in fear and trembling that the whirring
machinery is started up day after day. Those who have never
before given more than a passing thought to the near-perfect
projection and reproduction we are accustomed to now have
reason to thank the inconspicuous band of specialists who have
kept wheels turning for so long. Their efficiency, however, is
no longer of value if one or two essential parts give up the
ghost, and that, I fear, is what is going to be a major trouble
as time goes on.
We have suffered comparatively lightly up to the present,
but that is because of our high standard of maintenance ; and
for this we have to thank our operators, the consulting engin-
eers of the installation firms, and the ready appreciation of
the kinema owners, who have, as a general rule, stinted nothing
in the way of upkeep. As difficulties of production pile up,
however, we shall be confronted with a state of affairs new to
us, and one that baffles any attempt to take advanced
precautionary measures.
As to the supply of British pictures, there have been several
anxious inquiries about the possible reduction of quota
obligations, but it is worth putting on record that during 1941
The Story of the Year 9
our producers turned out 56 feature films, one more than in
1940. This is a particularly fine achievement in face of the
handicaps under which they have been working, which include
an increasing, shortage of artistes and also of technical studio
workers, rising wage scales, and reduced number of floors
available. The demands of the Services and the Labour
Ministry have made it almost impossible to keep a staff to-
gether, but the almost impossible has been achieved, and how-
ever many headaches it 'may have cost the studio executives
the work has carried on.
ft
At the same time, we have had a slight alleviation in the
matter of our quota obligations, and although the actual
percentage of easement is only small, the relief has been con-
siderable, so narrow is the margin between what can and what
cannot be done. The demands of the Act have now been
modified, so that the renters' quota is stabilised at 20 per cent,
of feature films and 15 per cent, of shorts, with the exhibitors'
figures standing at 15 per cent, and 12| per cent, respectively.
The real importance of this concession is the evidence it affords
of an appreciation by the Government of the Trade's troubles.
When the Minister of Information pressed for a production
speed-up for 1942, he was given a list of 76 titles, with details
of the studios and casts. This is the most effective way of
registering the spirit that keeps the British film-making
industry alive, for it must be remembered that we have already
learnt all too well the obstacles which have to be surmounted
in war conditions.
before leaving the subject of British films I must call atten-
tion to one privilege at least we are enjoying that has
never before been our fortune : no longer does the production
chief concern himself on the subject of finance. For the first
time in history, money is not one of his anxieties ; there
always seems to be enough available for any picture that has
a practical basis. When it comes to studio space the supply
is so much less than the demand that rents have soared beyond
all reason; man-power is a painful problem ; good stories
want finding, as always ; but the lack of money, which has
in the pasi ruined many promising ventures, is no longer a
worry. Early last year the Board of Trade outlined proposals
wlrch would make a sum of £500,000 available for loans to
producers ; but there is no record ot this facility ever having
been used.
10 The Kinematograph Year Book.
Much of the output of our studios has, of course, been
designed from the propaganda angle, ana, on the whole, we must
acknowledge that the shorts have achieved and maintained a
high standard. But exhibitors who have already com-
mitted themselves cheerfully to the systematic screening of
Ministry of Information shorts have been dogged by every
appeal secretary in the country, and as a result the demands
for free screen time have exceeded any practical man's powers
to comply with them. Organisers of all sorts of local appeals —
in addition to national ones — make their first call on the
kinema, and frequently ask for permission to take up a collec-
rion into the bargain. Risk of audience resentment has kept
this latter request in the background, but many complaints
have been made that any increase in the slides, etc., we have
been asked- to show would push the entertainment films out
of the programmes altogether.
ate in the year it was agreed that the only satisfactory way
of dealing with all these demands would be to co-ordiante
the propaganda requests, and the Industry asked that the
Ministry of Information should act as the sole channel of
approach. This at least would be a logical move, and would
relieve individual exhibitors of the rather unpleasant task of
refusing to give screen time to an appeal backed by influential
local interests. In addition, of course, any duplication or
clashing would be avoided.
The financial relations between the United States and oar-
selves have not been simplified as far as our business is con-
cerned. Exhibitors were perturbed when they heard of the
big investment of Warner money into A.B.P.C, and the C.E.A.
circulated to Members of Parliament a strong letter emphasising
the desirability of the circuit remaining completely British,
and inviting them to let the President of the Board of Trade
know their feelings on the matter. However, early in August,
the official notification was made that the deal had been
concluded and that Warner Bros, had bought for £900,000 two-
million 5s. shares, which were part of those left to his widow
by the late John Maxwell.
Government Departments — the Treasury and the Board of
Trade — had been consulted during the later stages of the
negotiations, and had intimated no objection to the transaction,
which involved a substantial contribution of dollar exchange
by Warner Bros, to the British Treasury. It was agreed that
the control remained in British hands. Considerable satis-
The Story of the Year. 1 1
faction was felt at the conclusion of this deal, because, on
the one hand, the enterprising American unit brought a big
consignment of dollars into the country, and, in addition to
this, showed in unmistakable fashion a sincere and practical
confidence in the British business. Max Milder, managing
director of Warner Bros. Pictures over here, forthwith became
joint managing director — with Eric Lightfoot — of A.B.P.C.
/^Vher important moves in the personnel at the " top
^^^ table" of the Industry look like presenting us with a
more closely organised industry in 1942 than ever. In
October, came the news that C. M. Woolf, with J. Arthur Rank
and Lord Portal, were in negotiation for the controlling interest
in Gaumont-British. Mr. Woolf became joint managing
director, with Mark Ostrer, on the same board from which he
had resigned in 1935, before he formed General Film
Distributors. Mr. Rank and Lord Portal also meant a great
deal to the British production industry, for they had been
for several years associated — through General Cinema Finance
Corporation — and were considerable shareholders in the
Company owning and operating Denham Studios. Mr. Rank
has also become chairman of the General Theatres Corporation
and of P.C.T.
Then, at the beginning of December, Oscar Deutsch died,
the man who had built up the great and successful Odeon
Circuit, with active interests in renting through his association
with United Artists, and in production through his system
of backing individual ventures by guaranteeing play-dates.
It was his unique ability to envisage future developments that
gave him the power to drive ahead as he did, and his chain was
practically complete even before the outbreak of war put a
stop to construction, but he was a man who, having reached
the peak he had set out for, would inevitably make another
one his mark. But the Odeon chain is no mean monument
to the memory of a man under 50 years at his death.
The reconstitution of the Odeon board brought in J. Arthur
Rank as chairman, and the possibility of closer association
between Odeon and G.-B. was the subject of considerable
trade discussion. However, no distinct move was apparent
in this direction as the year closed, and, indeed, so complicated
are the financial interests involved, that any definite action — ■
even if it be thought necessary and desirable — could hardly
be effected quickly.
12 The Kinematograph Year Book.
So we see the three big circuits still dominating the conduct
of the business as far as its exhibition side is concerned, but —
allowing for the readjustments which followed the death of
John Maxwell a year or so ago — all undergoing reorganisation
from the top. That there will be any alteration in policy that
the public will be able to detect is highly improbable, since the
permanent officials keep steady hands on the actual conduct
of the businesses. At the same time the possibilities are
interesting to speculate upon, and in any event the general
run of independent kinema proprietors throughout the country
will have, as always, to watch the actions of the circuits for an
indication of the course they themselves will have to steer.
C\n the whole, the country's demands upon the Industry
have been met, and whatever difficulties we have had
to fight we have kept the shows running. It has, however, .
not been without intense anxiety that we have seen more and
more of our trained employees taken into other forms of
national service, that is, of course, the Forces and the factories,
and while successive dereservations have played havoc with
the best laid schemes for maintaining adequate staffs, the
kinemas have kept running with efficiency.
Naturally, replacements in the more highly specialised
services have faced us with a grave problem, and recruits to
the projectionists' ranks have been hard to find ; but one
expedient — the training of women for the operating box —
has been developed in a considerable number of cases. On the
whole, this has not been unsatisfactory, so far as it has gone,
but only a super-optimist would claim that the complete
solution is found in this direction. Once more we must count
upon the traditional resiliency and resourcefulness of the
kinema industry, and our reliance on these qualities has never
yet let us down.

14 The Kinematograph Year Book.
AMERICA— 1941-1942.
By SAM SHAIN, Editor, Motion Picture Daily.
AS the United States plunged into the war at the close of the year, first
with the declaration of war against Japan, following its aggression,
then against Germany and Italy, the film industry hastily began gearing
itself for protection against raids ; it pledged its full support to the President
and it appeared to maintain a full flow of product for defence purposes.
Almost simultaneously with the declaration of war was the beginning
of a move for inter-industry unity, sponsored by Allied States Association.
Characterised by completely harmonious relations at a meeting of repre-
sentative branches of the industry in Chicago, a Motion Picture Industry
Conference Committee was set up. It is certain to be realigned on a more
permanent basis.
A new Federal admission tax was enacted in line with efforts to increase
national revenues to finance the gigantic war effort. Effective on October 1,
the new tax called for a levy of 10 per cent, on all theatre admissions. The
new tax had no appreciable effect on grosses, as the nation's film patronage
took the levy in stride.
Probably the most distressing — and publicly heralded — of trade problems
was the action of a group of isolationist members of the United States Senate,
who put the industry " on the spot " with accusations of producing and
distributing films designed as propaganda to bring the United States into
the war. The matter was hotly fought, with Wendell Willkie, 1940 Presi-
dential candidate, as the industry's counsel and champion in a series of
Senate committee hearings. The industry gave better than it received in
the interchange, aided by a sweeping national Press condemnation of the
Senate investigation, and as the year drew to a close it was apparent that the
investigation had been abandoned by its Senatorial sponsors. Eventually
this was formally announced.
The theatres of the nation, and the production branch as well, threw
themselves whole-heartedly into support of an all-out war effort. This took
several forms. First, Hollywood studios, under the guidance of the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Research Council, with Darryl F. Zanuck
as chairman, began the production of a series of films designed for Army
training. A committee of executives co-operating with the national defence
effort obtained pledges from some 12,000 theatres to show special short
subjects designed to assist.
Immediately following the entry of the United States into the war,
the industry committee for national defence changed its name to the War
Activities Committee— Motion Picture Industry, pointing up the trade's
active and loyal support of the nation's war effort for maximum results.
Francis S. Harmon, who had been co-ordinator of the defence com-
mittee, resigned his post with the MPPDA, to serve as a full-time executive
vice-chairman of the committee, of which George Schaefer, RKO president, is
chairman.
A budget committee went into action to study and arrange for financing
the cost of the film industry's war activities. The War Activities Committee
is representative of all phases of the industry, exhibitors, distributors, pro-
ducers, artists and the trade Press.
The nation's theatres collected upward of §1,000,000 in a drive to aid
the United Service Organisation to provide entertainment for Uncle Sam's
vast and growing conscripted citizen army and navy, while the industry
aided in the preparation of a number of stage shows designed to tour all
army camps and naval stations for the entertainment of the men at arms.
The Year in America. 15
For British, Greek, Red Cross and other drives, the industry contributed
with its usual open-hearted generosity.
There was considerable evidence as the year went on to substantiate
the belief that the huge defence projects in the country were putting more
money than for many years past into the pockets of the motion picture's
potential audience, and box-office reports were reflecting that increase in
spending power. On the production and distribution side, financial state-
ments of the companies showed marked and, in some cases, remarkable
improvement over recent past years. Universal, Paramount and Warners
particularly showed substantial gains in net profit, despite contingency
reserves against foreign losses and heavily increased American taxes.
Considerable dissatisfaction continued to be expressed by exhibitors
with the workings of the consent decree in the New York antitrust suit
brought by the Government against the five theatre-holding major companies.
Selling films in blocks of five was decried by exhibitors and distributors
alike. Added worries came in the form of a Minnesota law, which prohibited
selling in blocks of five or less, which caused the major consenting companies
to obtain court permission to sell on the former block method, an " escape "
from the terms of the consent decree.
The arbitration system provided by the decree apparently served a
useful purpose, with the decline in the number of exhibitor complaints filed
as the year drew to a close, indicating that the system was working effectively.
Television appeared to be " on the shelf " for the duration, as a result of
priorities on materials, and theatre television at the end of the year was
something for the future. Priorities caused a virtual cessation of new theatre
building and a sharp decrease in theatre remodelling.
Executive personnel changes of unusual significance affected the
industry during the year. T. J. Connors went from the M-G-M sales depart-
ment to be personal assistant to Sidney R. Kent, at 20th Century-Fox.
Gradwell L. Sears left the post of general sales manager at Warners, after
many years, and become vice-president in charge of distribution for a revamped
United Artists, with Carl Leserman, his former assistant at Warners, becoming
U.A. general sales manager. Edward Raftery, general counsel for U.A.,
was named president on an apparently temporary basis, with the likelihood
of another bein<i named eventually. David O. Selznick assumed a major
position in the affairs of U.A., which appeared headed forward. Maurice
Silverstone had left as operating chief several months earlier.
Buddy DeSylva became head of Paramount production. Joseph
Bernhard assumed new and more important duties as a Warner vice-president,
with Ben Kalmenson succeeding Sears as general sales manager. Leonard
Goldenson assumed charge of Paramount theatre operations.
Nicholas M. Schenck, of Eoew's, Will Hays, of the MPPDA, and
S. R. Kent and Herman Wobber, of 20th Century-Fox, all received new
five-year contracts during the year.
In the first step in a realignment of the RKO organisation by George J.
Schaefer, president, Peter N. Rathvon, formerly chairman of the executive
committee, was elected a vice-president of the parent company ; Malcolm
Kingsberg was to be elected president of all RKO theatre subsidiaries, in
addition to continuing as executive vice-president of Keith- Albee-Orpheum
and Leon Goldberg, former KAO treasurer, had been elected treasurer of the
parent company and all picture and theatre subsidiaries.
Joseph I. Breen left his post as head of the Production Code Administra-
tion to become studio chief for RKO ; Samuel Briskin became Columbia
production chief, and John J. O'Connor and Tred Meyers resigned as RKO
Theatres executives to take executive posts with Universal. In Canada,
N. L. Nathanson left his long association with Paramount-controlled Famous
Players Canadian Corporation to head the Canadian Odeon Circuit, which
immediately entered into sharp competition with Famous Players on
Dominion theatre holdings.

. THE EMPIRE OVERSEAS.
Australia
Although the number of films imported into Australia during the second
year of war has lessened as compared with recent years, there is very little
decrease in the number of reels and footage. For instance, there were 55
fewer American films, but the reels were 125 more, and the footage 107,382
greater ; the tendency is for feature films to be longer. Fifteen years ago
the average length of such films was six reels, and 5,963 feet ; last year it
was eight reels and 7,186 feet, which means that picture stories are, on the
average, 13 to 14 minutes longer.
The number of standard films of all classes imported does not vary much
from year to year, as will be seen from the following table : —

In 1940, the 1 ,630 standard films of all classes — scenic, topical, educational
medical, commercial and dramatic — represented 5,246 reels, or 4,318,830
feet. Of these, 473 were feature films made up as follows : — 403 from the
U.S.A. ; 62 from Great Britain, and 8 from other countries. Twenty-three
feature films were rejected by the Censor in the first instance, but 11 were
subsequently passed on appeal or reconstructed ; of the 12 absolute rejections,
10 were American (2.48 per cent.), and 2 British (3.2 per cent.).
Notwithstanding war conditions the decrease in the number of British
films imported has not been very great, and the percentage of British features
is actually slightly higher than it was in 1938, 13.1 per cent, as against 13.0 per
cent. Comparative figures are as follows : —

During the period, 1933 to 1938, there has been a gradual decrease in
the number of passages in feature films considered objectionable by the
Australian Censor, but since 1938 the percentage of cuts made has risen from
11.5 to 15.8. In administering the wide discretionary powers given by the
regulations, the Australian censorship has to bear in mind that the kinema
is attended by all classes and ages of the population, but also that customs,
habits and the generally accepted standards of propriety are constantly
changing. The practice of classifying pictures as suitable for (1) " General
Exhibition " and (2) " Adults Only," has not been entirely satisfactory,
nor is it thought to have much influence on the distributor, exhibitor or parents.
Many programmes, especially those in suburban and country theatres, are
of mixed classification, an " Adult " and a " General " picture being shown
on the same bill ; a test of 118 double feature programmes in the suburban
* The larger numbers in 1931 and 1932 were due to the fact that sound and
silent copies of the same picture were brought in.
20 The Kinematograph Year Book.
theatres of a capital city showed that in 49 cases both were adult, 47 " mixed "
and only in 22 were both suitable for general exhibition. In Victoria, the
law requires that the classification shall appear in all publicity and as a preface
to the picture, but the law in that State, in force for several years, providing
for the prohibition of the attendance of children between the ages of six and
sixteen at the screening of certain pictures was repealed in 1932.
War conditions have created an eager demand for news reels and gazettes.
Not only has the number and volume increased, but special care has been
exercised in the presentation and timing of various items of propaganda
relating to the national war effort. Australian news reels, which have been
equal to and frequently better than the imported article for several years
past, are being increasingly exported to other countries. The re-editing
with added commentary in Australia of scenes taken in the war zones where
Australians are actively engaged, has reached an exceptionally high standard.
Four Australian-made feature films were exported last year, or one less
than the average for the last seven years. The existence of quota legislation
in some States and the financial guarantees of one State have not had the
effect of increasing Australian feature production, but substantial progress
is hoped for when normal conditions prevail. In all, 1,013 films of all classes
were exported from the Commonwealth during the year, made up as follows :
876 British films (including the four above-mentioned Australian productions).
104 from U.S.A., and 33 from other countries.
In April, 1940, Mr. W. S. Leslie was appointed Acting Appeal Censor in
place of General Iven Mackay, who is at present on active service with the
A.I.F.
In February, 1941, Ernest Turnbull was appointed, as managing director
of Hoyt's Theatres, in succession to Charles Munro, resigned.

In the course of the year under review, 1,693 films of all classes, totalling
4,597,730 feet, were examined by the New Zealand Film Censor. Of this
number, four were rejected outright, six were deferred for the time being as
unsuitable for exhibition under war-time conditions, 125 were passed subject
to excisions, 187 were passed with recommendations that they were more
suitable for adult audiences, and 18 were passed with the caution that they
were not suitable for children. Appeals were lodged against three rejections ;
two were dismissed, and one was allowed. An appeal was also lodged against
some proposed excisions from a film in which certain incidents were regarded
as likely to be disturbing to young children. This film was, however, passed
by the Board of Appeal without alteration. An analysis of the censorship
operations shows that out of a total of 460 feature films, 37 came from Great
Britain, three from Australia, 413 from U.S.A., three from France, three from
Russia and one from Austria (made before the Anschluss). Of the four films
rejected, three were feature films originating in U.S.A., and one a miniature
(16-mm.) " short," also made in U.S.A. Compared with the previous year,
the number of rejections was four as against six ; the number of films requiring
amendment was 125 against 127 ; the number of films recommended as more
suitable for adults dropped from 229 to 187, while the number considered as
definitely unsuitable for young people was 18, as compared with 13 in the
previous year.
22 The Kinematograph Year Book.
There was a considerable drop in the number of British films examined — ■
440 as against 650 in 1939 — due no doubt, to the difficulties of production in
war time. The war has also had a marked influence on the type of films
produced, both in Great Britain and in the United States ; these combine a
skilful blending of anti-Nazi propaganda with varied entertainment. Some
excellent " short " feature films dealing with Britain's war effort and the
activities of the Fighting Services were received for free distribution to theatres
in New Zealand, and recently films from South Africa and Australia have
also been made available for public exhibition.
In order to show the people of New Zealand something of what is being
done locally for the national war effort, a film has been produced which shows t
the work and training of the Royal New Zealand Air Force ; this film will,
it is hoped, be shown in other parts of the British Empire.

Canada.
From first to last, there was scarcely a dull moment in the motion picture
trade in Canada throughout the year 1941.
Primarily, the year saw the split between Famous Players Canadian
Corporation and its president, N. L. Nathanson. The break that rocked the
industry occurred as the result of a dispute over the control of the large
Canadian circuit by Paramount in New York through ownership of common
shares, with Nathanson contending that the Canadian screen should be under
the influence of the people of the Dominion. After a series of directors'
meetings, Nathanson resigned as president, to be followed by several directors
and officers of the company, and J. J. Fitzgibbons, vice-president, was
immediately made president. Nathanson countered by announcing the
organisation of Odeon Theatres of Canada, Limited, many theatres for which
had already been acquired, and a contest for supremacy appeared to be in the
making— when the Dominion Government suddenly announced a ban on the
erection of any further civilian structures costing more than $10,000, as a
war measure.
The action of the Government actually had no direct connection with theatre
developments, but it served to halt a building race, with Nathanson reported '
to be holding many sites in key positions on which to construct new kinemas.
As an alternative, both Famous Players and Nathanson-Odeon turned to
existing independent theatres and dozens of these were snapped up.
The year witnessed the startling disappearance of Hanson Theatres
Corporation, whose 30 theatres in Ontario were taken into the Famous Players'
fold following the resignation of Oscar R. Hanson as president. Hanson had
been closely associated with Nathanson and became active head of Odeon.
Then followed a sudden split between Nathanson and Hanson, Hanson
resigning as president of Empire-Universal-Films, Ltd., Associated Theatres,
Ltd., Sovereign Film Distributors, Ltd., and other companies, to form his
own separate group of enterprises.
The Empire Overseas. 23
Still another stir occurred when Haskell Masters, formerly of Toronto,
resigned from an important post at New York with United Artists Corporation
to return to the Dominion to become president of Empire-Universal and
general manager of Odeon Theatres. In the meantime, Famous Players had
lost some of its executives to Odeon, but solidified its position both as to
personnel and structures, gaining an alliance with 20th Century Theatres,
controlling 40 theatres in Ontario, under the management of N. A. Taylor.
From another angle there were startling developments largely because of
the war, and these also had telling effect upon the theatre field. Following
conflicting rumours, the Canadian Government suddenly imposed a 20 per
cent, war tax on all gross receipts of moving picture theatres which, as quickly,
became virtually a levy on admissions to the general public because the owners
immediately raised prices of tickets in proportion. A sore point was that the
Government did not impose the same tax on the grosses of legitimate theatres,
concert halls, orchestras, dance halls and amateur sports, all of which are
opposition to the kinemas, but the Government officials ruled that other forms
of entertainment were essential to the war effort — after the kinemas had
extended every co-operation to the authorities in many war and loan carn-
paigns. It might not have been intended, but this co-operation obviously
fell off in subsequent months.
All moving picture theatres were placed under Federal licence and , in turn , the
Canadian Government adopted a stabilisation policy for the avowed purpose of
controlling the cost of living and thwarting a trend toward inflation by "pegging' '
the admission prices of all film theatres at the maximum level prevailing during
the basic period from September 15 to October 11, and by fixing all salaries
and wages on December 1 for the duration of the war, plus a minor bonus
privilege to be decided every three months by the Government to compensate
for variation in the living cost index. There was some complaint that film
rentals to be charged to theatres had not been sealed and that the exhibitors
were at the mercy of the film distributors, who, in turn, imported their product
from countries which could not be controlled by any price-fixing of Canada.
The Government gave assurance toward the close of the year, however, that
arrangements would be made for a system of financial subsidies or reduction
in import duties to take care of any higher cost of commodities which had to
be brought in from foreign markets. This plan had yet to be worked out at
the close of the year. What happened, all told, was that the theatre business
in the Dominion practically came under Government control for the remainder
of the war, no provision being made, however, for the absorption of any busi-
ness losses to be suffered by the exhibitors.
Another important turn was the appearance of a Soviet feature once
more at theatres in Ontario, Russian pictures having come under a general
ban of the censor board in Ontario and other Provinces long before the out-
break of hostilities in 1939. This picture had not been submitted to the
censors in other Provinces in 1941, and the future of Soviet pictures through-
out the Dominion could not be foretold.
Theatres in a number of Canadian cities had their first taste of the effect
of blackouts during the year, first as rehearsals in large cities when curious
crowds thronged the streets and forgot the kinemas and then, when the
Pacific trouble developed in December, as real blackouts because of raid
threats. Inexperienced Canadians forsook the theatres on such occasions,
attendance dropped very sharply and the trade saw evidence of appreciable
loss until the people could adjust themselves.
Although the ban on new construction went into force in May, permission
was granted for the completion of theatres already partly built but, because
of the growing shortage of materials, and labour scarcity, it was not until
Christmas Week that the last of the entirely new houses could be opened for
business. The chains and independents had cleaned up their projects by that
time and the New Year opened with not one new theatre projected or under
construction. The year closed with 1,300 in operation.

India.
Indian business has continued on a satisfactory scale during 1941, with
imports somewhat restricted due to war transport claiming priority and a
reduced import order. Duty on import of exposed kinematograph film
amounted during 1940-41 to Rs. 8,84,700. In addition, there is an octroi
duty levied on arrival within some municipal areas — roughly 12 annas per
entry. Entertainments tax during the vear 1940-41 amounted to
Rs. 45,36,161-5-0.
Hindi films exhibited during the year 1941 numbered 48, of an average
length of 12,600 ft. The President of the Bengal Board of Film Censors has
suggested that these films would be more entertaining if shorter, and in view
of the curtailment of raw film, closer editing may result.
An interesting step has been taken by the Government of Sind and
Cambay in the interests of Hindu-Moslem unity by exempting from enter-
tainment tax a film which has the promotion of this unity as its aim. It is
hoped that this action may be regarded as a precedent elsewhere.
Kinemagoers in India are estimated as 140,000,000 per annum, and it is
thought that this number could be greatly increased by the wider adoption of
16-mm. films, having propaganda as their primary aim.

South Africa.
The past year has been remarkable for good business in the kinema
world of South Africa, despite the established fact of overseating in some
areas which has followed, due to the large building programme carried out
during the last two years. The large revenue derived at the box offices is
mainly due to war time conditions, such as the influx of evacuees from over-
seas, the large number of military camps spread all over the country.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been training, and have provided a
big source of income for the kinemas.
With the conclusion of the war, carrying with it the exodus from South
Africa of evacuees and military, a very serious problem in the kinema industry
of South Africa is likely to arise. It will reveal the fact that too many
kinemas are in existence, resulting in a large number of houses closing.
Rhodesia has prohibited theatre building until the end of the war.
Among the important openings of kinemas are the 1,000-seater Odeon at
Sea Point, Cape Town, which made its bow on November 28, 1940 ; the
Regent, Kensington, Johannesburg ; Savoy, Benoni ; New Bijou, Salt River,
Cape Town ; 20th Fox, Pretoria ; Rex, Greenside, Johannesburg ; Curzon,
Wynberg ; and Boxy, Germiston.
Schemes on hand are at Muizenberg, Cape Town ; Potchefstroom ;

THE DOCUMENTARY FILM
AND ITS FUTURE
By DONALD TAYLOR
Managing Director of Strand Film Co., Ltd.
IN 1941 the documentary film finally consolidated its position in the Film
Industry. The Government subsidy has brought this position about,
but the success of the " Target For Tonight " films, and the Ministry of
Information five minute shorts, has given the documentary a permanent place
in audiences' minds. Now the documentary is an accepted part of regular
cinema entertainment.
In 1941 documentary made a big contribution to the cause of inter-
Empire unity. The unit working under John Grierson's direction in Canada
and the unit which Alexander Shaw set up in India made a great number of
notable films during this year. The exchange of information and understanding
between the Empire countries has been undoubtedly furthered by this pro-
duction and exchange of films. It is to be hoped that in the future there
will be an extension of this exchange of films by sending out similar units to
other dominions.
Documentary could prove of even greater value to the war effort and further
the Allied cause in 1942 by the setting up of similar documentary units in
each of the Allied capitals. The documentary film can go a long way to
develop mutual understanding in the varied composition of the Allied front.
INCREASED RESOURCES.
On the home front many domestic problems have been solved in 1941.
The reservation of the majority of the personnel engaged in documentary
has ensured a continuous output of films for the Government's purposes.
The developing resources of documentary are indicated by the number of
films it has produced in this year. It has almost trebled its peace time pro-
duction. Service facilities required for the making of Government films
have been greatly improved in this year, although red tape has hampered
and unnecessarily delayed the production of many films.
The relations between documentary and the Association of Cine-
Technicians has always been good, although there are still many companies
that have failed to recognise the" Union. However, too much time has been
wasted on fruitless negotiations when there are other things to do and when
the differences could easily be resolved. It seems necessary that there should
be a general agreement contract covering working conditions.
SPEARHEAD OF OFFENCE.
In general, documentary must look to the Government to make wider use
of its ideas and possibilities in 1942. There has still not been sufficient
realisation of the value of the film as a weapon of war. There has been a
recent book called " Blitzkrieg," by a Czech general, who has studied his
subject with thoroughness. He describes the main tactic of blitzkrieg as
being that of infiltration, and that film has been the spearhead of this
infiltration in every attack Germany has made.
While there is not a great opportunity for similar use of film to-day.
it is still not generally realised that film is a vital weapon of war. Unfor-
tunately, the main use of film documentary in 1941 has been to bolster home
morale. It has not occurred to our rulers that home morale is sounder than
it ever has been.
The documentary film must be used more imaginatively. The use of
documentary in 1942 must be to open up people's minds to the motives
governing this war and its strategy. It must also inspire people with the
necessity of winning this war for the world to come. It must serve the cause
of inter-Imperial understanding — it must bring understanding among widely
divergent views of the Allied countries. It must serve as a spearhead of action.

VERITY
in 1942
We believe that during 1942 we should make
"only those films which seem to us to be of
positive value to the war effort. The follow-
ing technicians are ready to work on any film
which measures up to this definition.

Films Of Great Britain, Ltd. — The associated companies, Films of Great
Britain, Ltd., and Andrew Buchanan Productions, were exactly one year
old in January , 1942, though they are the outcome of the 20 years' experience
of their founder, Andrew Buchanan. During the first 12 months, no fewer
than 14 productions have been completed, ranging from Governmental and
industrial films, one, two and three reels in length, to publicity films. Their
second year will see an immediate expansion in several technical directions,
and in the building up of a special photographic department.
MertOII Park Studios, Ltd. — Seventeen films were completed during 1941
by this firm, three of which — " Queen Cotton " (C. Musk), " Western Isles "
(T. E. Bishop), and " Saving Saving " (Maclean Rogers) were in Technicolor.
Among the more interesting subjects were " Salute to Farmers " (M. Tully),
"Full Cycle" (J. E. Lewis), "Learning to Live" (H. Purcell), and "We
Were There" (C. Musk).
Ealing Studios. — The shorts department has made several interesting
subjects under the direction of Carnecanti and two two-or-three reel documen-
taries are now in production, which will deal with the Fleet Air Arm, which
Compton Bennett is directing, and another on the freedom of the British
Press is engaging the attention of Charles Crichton. A third, dealing with
Britain's industrial army, is in preparation.
The Strand Film CO., Ltd. — -The proud position in the documentary
film movement held by Strand has been retained despite the recent influx
of many new production units.
Donald Taylor, the managing director of the company, has not let the
war interfere with the high standard of the Strand productions. In addition
to an expert team of directors, writers and cameramen, he brought many dis-
tinguished names to the screen, including the famous authors — Grahame
Greene, St. John Ervine, Cecil Day Lewis and George Blake. Several well-
known B.B.C. announcers, including Bruce Belfrage, Alan Howland, Alvar
Liddell and Joseph Macleod, and also Muir Mathieson and "William Alwyn,
the noted musicians. During'he past year Strand have produced a number
of M. of I. " five-minuters," documentaries for theatrical release, propaganda
films for the overseas market and also several Technicolor subjects. The
number of films scheduled for production during 1942 gives every indication
that Strand Flms seventh year of documentary film-making will be its busiest.
104 The Kinematograph Year Book.
British Films, Ltd. — The strides made by this company even since the
outbreak of war, which saw its Albany Street studios heavily blitzed, must
be gratifying to the small body of men who have worked so arduously for the
success which now seems to be theirs. Despite enemy action, cameras have
not ceased turning nor workshops humming with activity in a concentrated
effort to provide instruction and propaganda as a material contribution to
the war effort.
Since the formation of the company, 11 years ago, upwards of 150
advertising, propaganda and documentary and instructional films have been
produced. Great hopes were cherished for an ambitious series of short
entertainment films, which were to make a fortnightly appearance in British
kinemas, but the destruction of their studios prevented the consummation of
these plans. The production unit, however, worked hard to find its feet
again, and to-day, although hampered by lack of staff, and other war
restrictions, they are giving invaluable service to the Government by the
production of instructional films, principally for the Air Ministry.
Concanen Films. — One of the great documentary " hits " of the year
has been " Seaman Frank," produced by Derrick de Marney for the National
Savings' Committee. One important side of Concanen's activities is the
production, in association with the Polish Ministry of Information, of a series
of pictures dealing with the country and the war-work of its nationals. This
year this successful association will be continued, and two subjects, one
dealing with the Polish sea effort and another with their air arm, are scheduled.
G.B. Instructional. — Production of the " Secrets of Life " series is being
resumed with six more subjects scheduled for 1942. Other films completed
or in preparation are " Pacific Ocean," the " Indian Ocean," stories of the
oceans, " Maize," " Newt," " Chemistry of Water," and a companion picture.
Public Relationship Films, Ltd. — Although one of the smaller documentary
producing companies, this company has scheduled a varied and interesting
programme, including propaganda films for the Ministry of Information,
the National Savings Committee and other official and semi-official bodies.
According to L. G. Matthews, script editor and director, the need for human
interest, both in serious and lighter moods, in propaganda films is becoming
increasingly important. This type of approach is something the company
is particularly anxious to develop. The make-up of the company qualifies
them to produce films of a medical nature, which may prove a necessity of the
first importance as the war extends.
Verity Films, Ltd. — Sydney Box, managing director, considers that after
two years of total war the film industry is still putting forth something less
than total war effort. The studios gave generously — some think too
generously — of their technicians. Those who are left are working at con
siderable pressure. The output of propaganda, and pseudo-propaganda,
films is greater than ever before, but the fidl impact of the film on the propa-
ganda front has yet to be felt.
The feature film makers have yet to learn that truth is stronger, as well
as stranger, than fiction. The short film makers are still underestimating
the necessity for entertainment value to give wings to their propaganda
message. Both are suffering from the fact that Government departments
are unable, or unwilling, to give a clear lead on propaganda.
Here is Verity's New Year resolution : During 1942 Verity will make
only those films which seem to us to be of positive value to the war effort.
This does not mean that we shall confine ourselves to working for Government
departments. Far from it. We believe that commercial sponsors have a
right to make propaganda films in war as well as peace. We believe that
they have~ an important part in amplifying Government propaganda in its
references to their industries, in explaining to the public their trade problems
and the steps they are taking to meet them, in acting as a corrective to
complacency and self-satisfaction in high places. But we have no technicians
to spare for films which at this moment in history seek to exploit the interests
of individuals at the expense of the community.

THE LEGAL SURVEY
OF 1941.
By NORMAN HART, B.A.
(Solicitor to the Cinematograph Exhibitors' Association.)
IN my article for this year I think it might be advisable before touching
on other important matters that have affected the industry if, in view
of the numerous inquiries I have had, I were to deal with the main War
Acts and Orders affecting the Industry and I, therefore, propose to give a
few explanatory comments on these Acts, upon which many points of doubt
exist, with the hope that it will be of advantage to the readers of the Year
Book. The first and main Act I propose to deal with is the War Damage
Act, 1941. This Act is divided into four parts : —
Part 1 relates to the compulsory contribution scheme of compensation.
Part 2 is divided into two parts. It provides (1) a compulsory scheme of
insurance for all moveable assets of business undertakings ; and (2) a voluntary
scheme of insurance for personal chattels.
Part 3 comprises certain amendments in the existing statutes relating to
the War Risks Insurance Scheme for commodities.
Part 4 deals with miscellaneous and general matters.
. I propose to deal here with Parts 1 and 2, as there appears to be a great
deal of misunderstanding with regard to these two parts. Many exhibitors
seem to think that both these parts are insurance schemes. This, of course,
is not correct.
Part 1 is a contributory scheme and relates to buildings and other
immoveable property. Thus, so far as plant and machinery are not goods and
are included in the Schedule to the Plant and Machinery (Valuation for
Rating) Order, 1927, No. 480, they form part of buildings or other immoveable
property and if destroyed or injured by enemy action will be part of the
subject matter in respect of which a " value " payment or " cost of works "
payments is made.
It provides for a contribution to be made towards the expense of payments
for war damage to land, building and other immoveable property (including
rateable plant and machinery) occurring during the period beginning with
September 3, 1939, and ending August 31, 1941 (which I shall refer to as the
"risk period"). Such contribution is normally charged in respect of each
property for which a separate valuation for Income Tax under Schedule
" A " or for rating had effect in the " risk period."
The contribution is usually calculated on the net Schedule " A " assess-
ment in force at September 3, 1939. If there was no Schedule " A " assessment
it is calculated on the net annual value for rating as at September 3, 1939.
The contribution for the risk period is payable by five annual instalments
at the rate of 2s. in the £ on July 1, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944 and 1945. It is
payable in the first instance by the person who is in occupation of the land
or building, etc., and he is entitled to deduct the amount from his next
payment of rent less, of course, the proportion for which he is responsible
on account of his having a proprietary interest in the land or building. As
to the proportion payable by the interested parties the tables are set out
in the explanatory note, which was sent to each contributor with the first
demand for payment due July 1, 1941.
The Legal Survey 123
The basis of compensation will be in payment of two kinds — a " Cost
of Works " payment and a " Value " payment. A " Cost of Works " payment
will be made as and when the repairs are carried out. A " Value " payment
will be made at such time as may be decided. As regards a " Value ' ' payment,
interest at the rate of 2\- per cent, per annum will accrue from the date of the
damage and will be paid when the compensation is paid.
1 would just mention here that where a person is selling property, the
most convenient way for him to deal with the contributions which are to
be paid in the years 1942, 1943, 1944 and 1945, is to clear the property of all
liability by paying the contributions in advance under Section 32 of the
Act, but if he does not care to do this, the amount he would have to pay
under that section could be deducted from the purchase price.
With regard to Part 2 of the Act, I only propose to deal with the first part
- — the Business Scheme. I do not propose to deal with the second part — the
Private Chattels Scheme.
The Business Scheme has to do with the insurance of business equipment
and plant and machinery (not referred to in the Plant and Machinery (Valua-
tion for Rating) Order 1927, No. 480) and moveable articles and the premiums
are payable through an insurance company.
It is the owner of the goods who is compelled to insure if the goods are
worth more than £1,000. If they are of less value than £1,000, whilst the
owner is not compelled to insure yet I would strongly advise him to do so,
so that he may obtain compensation should war damage occur. As to the
value for which you should insure, the Act requires you to insure for the full
replacement value.
With regard to the person who must compulsorily insure a certain amount
of doubt seems to have arisen under Section 60 of the Act and the Statutory
Rules and Orders 1941, No. 450.
Section 60 Sub-section (1) sets out what goods are insurable, that is, may
be insurable, under the scheme.
Section 62 of the Act is a mandatory clause and sets out what must be
insured.
The Statutory Rules and Orders 1941, No. 450, lays down who must
compulsorily insure.
It must be obvious, however, that there does not seem to be any ad-
vantage in the user of the goods (if he is not the owner of them) insuring
under Section 60 of the Act, seeing that the owner must compulsorily insure
under the Statutory Rules and Orders. This would mean that there would
be two insurances in respect of the same article, and one can hardly suppose
that the Government would pay two amounts of compensation for the same
article. In the case of a lease, where the theatre together with the fixtures
and fittings are leased, it is the lessor who must compulsorily insure as he is
the owner, but where the lessee has put in some of his own things, which
he himself has paid for, it would be advisable for him to insure these goods,
even if their value is under £1,000, though what he will get if the chattels are
destroyed I cannot say. There is nothing in the general law to give to a
third part}- any of the benefits of the insurance apart from contract or trust.
Under Section 2 of the general conditions contained in the third schedule
to the War Damage Business Scheme Order, it is laid down that the insured
must give to the Board, amongst other things, particulars of the interest of
any other person in the property, and the idea of this may be to ascertain
the extent of the interest of the insured in the property so that he may not
receive a sum in excess of indemnification for his loss, or it may mean, in-
ferentially, that the Board of Trade will recognise in some manner the interest
of any such other person.
124 The Kinematograph Year Book.
There is no replacement clause in the Act, but under Section 4 of such
general conditions, the Board of Trade may, if it thinks fit, reinstate all or
part of the insured property instead of paying cash.
I should have thought that in all cases where the lessor and owner must
insure and the lessee and user may have an insurable interest, for what it is
worth, that an arrangement should be arrived at between the two parties
to share the premium, and should any damage or loss be sustained, then
the amount of compensation could be divided as agreed between the lessor
and the lessee.
I would point out that as regards a hiring agreement, the compulsory
insurance is on the owner of the goods, not the hirer, but if it is a hire purchase
agreement, then the compulsory m insurance would be on the hirer who has
the right eventually to purchase the goods.
With regard to the hire of films, as the renter is the owner of such films,
he is the person who must compulsorily insure.
As to what are moveable and immoveable fixtures and fittings, there
appears to be some doubt. As regards a kinema, such things as electric
light fittings, curtains, carpets, pianos, neon and other exhibition signs,
colour lighting equipment, etc., come under Part 2 of the Act, and according
to an opinion expressed by the War Damage Commission and the Board of
Trade, such items as projectors, arc lamps and resistances, internal telephones,
statutory category boards, vacuum cleaning plant, picture screen, sound
apparatus (not leased), operating box equipment, fireproof curtains and the
like, also come within Part 2.
In view of this opinion, it does seem to me that the sooner the Act is
amended to make the position clear it will be the better for everybody because
it is well known that a very large number of rating authorities, when arriving
at the assessment for the rates or Schedule "A" of a theatre, take into
consideration the seating, fireproof curtains, projectors and all those sort of
things, on the principle that they enhance the value of the premises and
should be taken into account in ascertaining the rateable value and hypo-
thetical rental of the premises. They are an essential and necessary part
of the premises, and accordingly one would have thought should have come
under Part 1 of the Act. The difficulty arises from the lack of uniformity
in the method of arriving at an assessment. The only measure of uniformity
is a uniform unwillingness to consider a kinema as an empty shell.
However, in view of the opinion expressed by the Board of Trade and
War Damage Commission, one must take it, for the present at any rate, that
these articles are insurable under Part II, despite the fact that they may
have been taken into consideration in arriving at the assessment of the theatre.
This, in my opinion, places the owner in a somewhat unfair position, because
he is paying two insurances. He is paying the contributory share under
Part I, based on the assessment if arrived at as beforementioned, and he
is also paying the insurance under Part II, as being movable chattels. This
does not seem right. The present view taken seems to be that if these fittings
are not included in the Schedule to the Plant and Machinery (Valuation for
Rating) Order, 1927, then they come under Part II and are insurable ac-
cordingly.
With regard to the sound equipment held on a lease, the insurance is
compulsory on the owner, that is the company, under Section 62 of the Act,
as they are goods owned by the company, even though not in its possession.
An exhibitor cannot be required to contribute to the premiums payable by
the sound company, but if they are asked to do so it might pay them to
comply on terms. I would point out that if the compensation is insufficient
to restore the equipment, no one is compelled to provide for the deficit, the
lease comes to an end for want of content.
The Legal Survey 125
An opinion has been expressed by the Board of Trade that in some
cases the hirer may have an " insurable interest," although its value may be
purely nominal. I would strongly advise exhibitors, if possible, to try to
come to some arrangement with the owners of the sound equipment so as to
share, the premium and have an interest in the amount of compensation
should damage or loss occur. The amount for which these sound equipments
are being insured to-day is the replacement value at the time of the damage.
There is nothing in the Act making the owner reinstate the apparatus.
With regard to the Landlord and Tenant (War Damage) (Amend-
ment) Act, 1941, it will be remembered that under the Landlord and Tenant
(War Damage) Act, 1931, if premises were damaged by enemy action, there
were two ways open to the lessee if he wished to avoid payment of future rent :
(1) to disclaim the lease, which the landlord may or may not accept.
(2) to retain the lease and under these circumstances the lessee
would make good the damage himself within a reasonable time, but
during that time no rent is payable.
The Landlord and Tenant (War Damage) (Amendment) Act, 1941,
amended the 1939 Act in that where land or buildings are unfit by reason
of war damage and the lessee proposes to serve upon his lessor a notice of
his intention to retain the lease, he should include therein a condition that
it is to be treated as a notice of disclaimer if the War Damage Commission
determine to make a " value " payment under Part I of the War Damage
Act, 1941. Certain formalities have to be complied with.
It also amends the 1939 Act in that it shall not apply to short tenancies,
that is tenancies or sub-tenancies which the tenant is entitled to determine
at any time by a notice expiring not later than the end of the next complete
quarter or the next complete period of three months of the tenancy.
Under Sectional Sub-section 2 of the Act if and so long as any land
let on a short tenancy is unfit by reason of war damage and is not occupied
either in whole or in part by the tenant no rent is payable under, the tenancy.
The Act also amends the 1939 Act so that it shall apply to ground
leases.
This Act, like the other War Damage Acts, is somewhat complicated
and I would advise any exhibitor whose premises have been affected in any
way by war damage to obtain the advice of the Legal Department of the
Cinematograph Exhibitors' Association as to the best mode of procedure to
adopt in his case.
The Liabilities (War Time Adjustment) Act, 1941, was primarily passed
to provide for the arrangement or adjustment and settlement of the affairs
of persons financially affected by war circumstances, and the principle of
the Act aims at the tiding over of the period of adversity suffered by a
debtor whose business would under normal conditions have shown a profit, and
the Act seeks to establish this principle on terms, which would be fair to
both the debtor and his creditors.
Any person who is in serious financial difficulties, owing to war circum-
stances, may apply to the " Liability Adjustment Officer " appointed under
the Act for his particular district for advice and assistance. This officer will
advise and assist the debtor to arrive at a fair and reasonable scheme of
arrangement as will enable him to preserve his business or to recover it
when circumstances permit. Briefly, the Act gives persons in financial
difficulties power to apply to the Court to have their affairs gone into and ad-
justed by the Liabilities Adjustment Officer, thereby protecting that person's
means of livelihood despite the fact that he has certain liabilities, which he
cannot meet through war circumstances whether such liabilities were incurred
before or after the commencement of the war.
126 The Kinematogvaph Year Book.
If any exhibitor does find himself in this unfortunate position he would
be well advised to get into touch with the Legal Department of the Cinemato-
graph Exhibitors' Association because the Act is somewhat complicated and
there are many formalities to be gone through.
There have been many Statutory Rules and Orders issued under the
Emergency Powers (Defence) but as the space allotted to me is small it
is only possible for me to deal with one or two of them, which I consider
are most important and especially concern exhibitors, and which should be
carefully noted.
The first one is Statutory Rules and Orders, 1941, No. 1760, The Control
of Paper (No. 36) Order, 1941, and has to do with the control of paper.'
Under Clause 3 of the Order it states : No person shall in the United Kingdom
(a) print or make any poster exceeding 1,200 square inches in area ; (b) exhibit
any poster exceeding 1,200 square inches in area unless that poster was
printed or made before the coming into force of this Order ; (c) affix any
poster within 100 feet of any other poster displaying identical or substantially
identical advertising matter unless each poster is affixed within or at any
entrance to any premises and the matter displayed on each poster relates to
services rendered in those premises ; (d) exhibit any poster advertising or
relating to the sale of goods unless that poster was printed or made before
the coming into force of this Order ; (e) exhibit any poster printed after May
27, 1940, and advertising or relating to the sale of any newspaper, news-
bulletin, magazine or periodical ; (/) exhibit at one time more than 10 posters
the contents of which relate to any one programme of entertainment to be
given at any theatre, kinema, dance-room, sports-ground, racecourse or other
place of private or public entertainment.
Under Clause 5 of the Order it is stated that no person shall in the
United Kingdom in connection with the printing, publication, distribution,
sale or other disposal of any newspaper, news-bulletin, magazine or periodical,
insert therein any loose advertising matter unless that advertising matter
was printed or made before the coming into force of this Order.
This Order came into force on November 12, 1941.
Another Order is that known as Food Control Committees (Local Dis-
tribution) Order, 1939, Statutory Rules and Orders, 1939, No. 1312, and al-
though it came into force so far back as October 9, 1939, yet many exhibitors
do not seem to be aware of it.
Under this Order any person who wishes to sell by retail chocolates,
sugar confectionery, cakes and biscuits and any of the specified foods
mentioned in the Schedule to the Order in his theatre must obtain a licence.
If this licence has not been already obtained application should be made
to the Food Control Office in the district.
Another very important Order to be complied with is the Fire Prevention
(Business Premises) (No. 2) Order, 1941, Statutory Rules and Orders, 194-1,
No. 1411, which Order came into operation on September 22, 1941.
The Order applies to all business premises situated in any such area as
may be prescribed by the Regional Commissioner acting under authority
delegated to him by the Minister of Home Security, and " business premises "
are defined as any premises occupied wholly or partly for the purpose of
any business, trade or profession.
The fire prevention arrangements at business premises, to which the
Order applies, may be either voluntary or compulsory. In either case the
approval of the appropriate authority is required before the arrangements
become binding upon those concerned. Under a compulsory arrangement,
the duty of performing fire prevention duties is so far as possible appointed
equally among all concerned.
The Legal Survey. 127
The Order provides that every occupier of business premises shall consult
with the persons working at the premises as to arrangements for the necessary
fire-watching of the premises, and should notify the appropriate authority
as to the arrangements made and as to the proposed scheme for fire prevention,
which scheme must be approved by the appropriate authority for the district,
and all male persons (who have not obtained exemption under the Order)
between the prescribed ages (usually 18-60) working at the business premises
are under an obligation to perform such fire prevention duties as may be
allotted to them under the approved arrangements.
The occupier of the business premises must arrange that the period
for which the duties are required to be performed by any such person outside
his working hours does not exceed 48 hours in each period of four weeks,
and he must allow to such persons subsistence allowance as follows : —
(a) In respect of any occasion on which a person performs
under the arrangements fire prevention duties outside his
working hours for a continuous period not exceeding 12 hours 3s. Od.
(b) For a continuous period exceeding 12 hours but not
exceeding 18 hours ... ... ... ... ... ... 4s. 6d.
(c) For a continuous period exceeding 18 hours but not
exceeding 24 hours ... ... ... ... ... ... 6s. Od..
With regard to the subsistence allowance to persons performing fire
prevention duties in the case of compulsory arrangements, these payments
are to be paid by the occupier of the business premises concerned. Occupiers
will be reimbursed from the Exchequer through the appropriate authority
in respect of payments so made. Whilst this obligation is not imposed by
the Order where the arrangements are voluntary, yet it is intended that in
practice occupiers should in such cases pay not less favourable scales of sub-
sistence allowances, and they will be reimbursed from the Exchequer through
the appropriate authority in respect of payments made by them on this
account up to the scale prescribed above.
The Order also provides that occupiers of premises which are adjoining
or neighbouring or in the same building, may, if they so desire, make joint
arrangements for those premises.
To meet the case where it may happen that the number of available
men working at particular business premises is not sufficient to enable the
occupier to make fire prevention arrangements for those premises in the
manner laid down in the Order, there is a provision by which the occupier
is entitled to notify the appropriate authority that he is unable to make the
necessary arrangements and if, on examining the facts, the appropriate
authorities are satisfied that this is the case, they may in such circumstances
assume control, to such extent as is considered necessary, of whatever arrange-
ments are made.
As will be seen, there are many formalities to be gone through to comply
with this Order, and if the exhibitor has any doubt in his mind he should
not hesitate but get into touch with his local authority and ascertain what is
required from him and, if still in doubt, with the Legal Department of the
Cinematograph Exhibitors' Association.
Under the new Order, which has been tabled under the Cinematograph
Films Act, the Exhibitors" quota for the year commencing October, 1942,
will be reduced to 15 per cent, and the cmota for the shorts commencing
October 1, 1942, will be 12| per cent.
One has dealt with some of the important Acts, Statutory Rules and
■ Orders but, of course, there are many others, and one can only repeat what
has often been stated in these articles, that it would be to the advantage of
any exhibitor who has any doubts upon any of such Acts, Statutory Rules
and Orders that may come, into force, to at once get into touch with the
Legal Department of the Cinematograph Exhibitors' Association so that he
will be fully protected and obtain advice.
128 The Kinematograph Year Book.
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.
All premises must hold a licence where inflammable films are used. The
Act contains no definition of the word " inflammable."
Exceptions. — A licence is not necessary in the following cases : —
(a) Where non-flammable films are used (as to whether a film is non-
flammable or flammable is one of fact for the Justices to decide).
(See Victoria Pier, Ltd. v. Reeves, 1912, 28 T.L.R. 443 ; also see
re Dickman and Moore, Times Newspaper, December 17, 1912.)
(Note. — If an exhibitor holds a licence for. premises upon which
he originally used inflammable films and decides in future to use
non-flammable films only, he is still bound by the conditions on
the licence granted although otherwise no licence would be
necessary.)
(b) For exhibitions in private dwelling-houses where the general
public are not admitted whether on payment or otherwise.
(Note. — A hospital has been held not to be a private house under
Section 7 of the Act, for which a licence is required — National
Hospital for Paralysed and Epileptic Persons, Times, October 1 1 ,
1913.)
(c) Where premises are only used occasionally and not more than
six days in any one year. But in this case the occupier must —
i. Give seven days' notice in writing to the Licensing
Authority and the chief officer of police- of the police area ;
ii. Comply with the regulations as to safety ;
iii. Comply with any conditions imposed in writing by the
Licensing Authority.
(d) On premises used for the purpose of exhibiting films to bond-fide.
-purchasers — -Att.-Gen. v. Yitagraph 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.
(t) Complies with any conditions imposed in writing by the Licensing
Authority.
Digest of Acts 129
REGULATIONS AS TO SAFETY.
These are made by the Home Secretary (Act s. 1) except in
Scotland and Ireland, where the Secretaries for Scotland and Ireland
respectively exercise this power (Act ss. 8 and 9). They are known
as the Cinematograph Regulations, 1910 (Statutory Rules and Orders
[1910] No. 189) and 1913 (St. R. & O. [1913] No. 566). Every owner and
manager of a kinema must make himself familiar with these regulations,
which are binding, even if the conditions of the licence happen to be incon-
sistent with them.
LICENSING AUTHORITY.
(1) England. — The Council of the County or County Borough, but as
a rule these powers are, in the first instance at least, exercised by a com-
mittee. Where the place is licensed by the Lord Chamberlain for stage
plays, that official also grants kinematograph licences.
The County or County Borough Council may delegate these powers to
the local justices (Act s. 5). Licensing Justices sit as an administrative
body, not as a Court of Summary Jurisdiction — Huish v. Liverpool Justices,
[1914] 1 K.B. 109. Therefore they have no power to state a case. Doubtful
if any appeal of licensing authorities where a licence is refused without any
reason.
If reasons are stated and not been satisfactory or a proper hearing has
not been given, proceedings by way of mandamus should be taken to the
Court of Appeal. A further appeal in such a case can be taken to the House
of Lords, or proceedings might be taken in the King's Bench Division for a
declaration that proposed conditions which the Licensing Authorities have
decided to put upon licences are ultra vires and an injunction asked for to
restrain the authorities from enforcing same. In cases before the Court of
Summary Jurisdiction where the procedure is by way of case stated to the
Divisional Court no further appeal is allowed.
(2) Scotland. — The Council of the County or the magistrates of a royal
parliamentary or police burgh. There is no power of delegation (Act s. 8).
(3) Ireland.- — -The Council of the County or County Borough or Urban
District or the Commissioners Of the Town. There is no power of delegation,
but a County Council may, in writing, authorise any officer of the Council
to exercise any of the powers of the Act (Act s. 9).
GRANT, RENEWAL AND TRANSFER OF LICENCES.
Licences are normally for one year, but may be for shorter periods
(Act s. 2 (2)). The Act makes no provision for granting provisional licences.
For new grants or transfers seven days' notice in writing must be given
to the Licensing Authority and to the chief officer of police of the police area,
but no notice need be given in the case of a renewal (Act s. 2 (4)).
Fees Payable. — One year's licence (grant or renewal), £l. 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, 80 L.J.K. 1314. It has
been argued on the words of the Act that these must be decided upon when
the application for each licence is made, and not determined beforehand
(e.g., most of the authorities issue a list of conditions which licensees must
submit to), but this argument has not met with favour (see Rex v. Burnley
Justices (1916), 32 T.L.R. at p. 696).
130 The Kinematograph Year Book.
Conditions or undertakings which have been upheld in the Courts include
Against opening on Sundays and Holy Days, even where non-
inflammable films used (L.C.C. v. Bermondsey Bioscope Co., [1911]
1 K.B. 445; Ellis v. North Metropolitan Theatres, [1915] 2 K.B. 61).
Against showing any film to which the Authority objects [ex
parte Stott, [1916] 1 K.B. 7) ;
As to hours of opening and closing [Rex v. Burnley Justices, supra) .
Against showing any licentious or indecent film [Rex v. Burnley
Justices, supra).
There is a distinction between conditions and undertakings and a con-
dition as to the admission of children has been held bad (Halifax Theatre de
Luxe v. Gledhill, [1915] 2 K.B. 49), but an undertaking of not so widespread a
character relating to the same matter has been upheld (Rex v. Burnley
Justices, supra).
Breach of a condition is an offence for which the licensee may be fined,
and at once lose his licence ; breach of an undertaking may lead to refusal
of renewal.
A condition that no film can be shown if a specified number of justices
object is void, as different groups may think differently (Rex v. Burnley
Justices, supra) .
Where the Licensing Authority enforce a conditiqn that no film to which
the Authority objects may be shown, the owner of the film is apparently
without any adequate remedy (ex parte Stott, [1916] 1 K.B. 7; Stott v. Gamble,
[1916] 2 K.B. 504).
A condition that no film be shown which has not been certified for public
exhibition by the British Board of Film Censors is ultra vires, as it sets up in
place of the Licensing Committee another Body whose ipse dixit should be a
test of what might be exhibited. (Ellis v. Dubouski, [1921] 3 K.B.D.)
As to whether, therefore, the above conditions are intra vires is somewhat
doubtful, and it might be argued that even if a film had not been censored and
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 by a company is not an occupier, and cannot be summoned
as such (Bruce v. McMaines, [1915] 3 K.B. 1).
A kinematograph licence does not authorise musical accompaniments.
A music licence is not necessary where music is subsidiary to the picture —
See Hallinan, 73 J.P.N. 458.
Digest of Acts. 131
Theatre and Music and Dancing Licences may also be necessary.
Theatre Licences for Stage Plays are obtained from the Lord Chamberlain
in London, and from the justices elsewhere. Music and Dancing Licences,
are granted by the County and County Borough Councils, who can delegate
this power to the local justices.
Music and Dancing Licences in London are governed by the Music Hall
Act, 1751. In Middlesex by the Music and Dancing Middlesex Act, 1894.
In other areas beyond 20 miles from the Cities of London and Westminster
under the Public Health Acts (Amendment Act), 1890, Sec. 4. Music Licences
are renewable only once each year. They may contain conditions (in view
of the section of the Public Health Act) different to the conditions of a kine-
matograph licence, as that act does not apply to Music and Dancing Licences.
A Music and Dancing Licence does not authorise stage plays, nor does a
Theatre Licence, under the Theatre Act, 1843, include Music and Dancing.
CHILDREN.
Where an entertainment is given for children {i.e., under four-
teen), or the majority of persons present are children, and their number
exceeds one hundred, and access to any part of the building is by stairs,
then it is the duty of the occupier (if he is paid) and of the person giving the
entertainment (in any case) to see that an adequate number of adult atten-
dants are present to prevent overcrowding in any part, to control the move-
ments of the audience when entering and leaving, and also to take all reasonable
precautions for safety. Police officers have the right of entry. The penalty
for a first offence is up to £50, for a second or subsequent offence up to £100,
and any licence held in respect of the building may be revoked (Children
Act, 1908, s. 121). The kinematograph licence is not mentioned, as it had
not come into existence at that date.
The Employment of Children Act, 1903, s. 1, enables local authorities
to make bye-laws relating to the employment of children {i.e., under fourteen),
and many of them have exercised this power. A licensee should enquire
at the council offices whether the local authority of his district has made any
bye-law affecting him {e.g., as to programme, sweet, or cigarette sellers, etc.)
No child (under sixteen) employed half - time in a factory or
workshop may be employed elsewhere (Act 1903, s. 3 (3)), nor may any
child be employed before six a.m. or after nine p.m., unless the local bye-laws
allow it (Act 1903, s. 3 (1)). The fine is up to 40s. for a first offence, and £5
afterwards (Act 1903, s.5 (1)).
Under the Children and Young Persons Act, 1933, where there is provided
in any building an entertainment for children or an entertainment at which
the majority of the persons attending are children, then, if the number of
children attending the entertainment exceeds one hundred the person provid-
ing the entertainment must station and keep stationed wherever necessary
a sufficient number of adult attendants, properly instructed as to their duties,
to prevent more children or other persons being admitted to the building,
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.

ENTERTAINMENTS TAX.
For tax purposes an " entertainment " includes any exhibition, per-
formance, amusement, game, or sport to which persons are admitted for
payment. Admission to the place where the entertainment is held is suffi-
cient, otherwise tax could be evaded by charging admission and giving a
free show. If there is an additional charge to go to another part of the
premises, tax is levied on both charges. The proprietor for this purpose
includes the person responsible for the management. The rates as now
altered by the Finance Act, 1935, are as follows :
Payment for admission, excluding duty.

Admission can only be given by ticket stamped with a mark denoting
that duty has been paid, or in special cases, if the Commissioners approve,
through a barrier which automatically registers the numbers admitted.
But the proprietor can make arrangements with the Commissioners dispensing
with these conditions on the terms of furnishing certified returns at stated
times and giving security for due payment of the duty. Penalty for breach :
Proprietor, ^50 and duty ; Person admitted, £5. Special provision is made
for lump sum payments in the case of clubs or societies, or in the case of season
tickets or tickets for a series of entertainments.
Duty is not payable where the Commissioners are satisfied :
(a) That the proceeds are devoted to philanthropic or charitable
purposes without deduction of expenses, or
(b) That the entertainment is wholly educational (in case of difference
the Board of Education decides) ; or
(c) That the entertainment is provided for partly educational or
partly scientific purposes by a society, and not run for profit ; or
(d) That it is provided by or on behalf of a school or educational
institution if the school or institution is not run for profit, and the
entertainment is provided solely for promoting some object of the
school or institution, and that all the persons who are perforfners
are under sixteen and are scholars or ex-scholars of the school
or institution.
In the case of a charity performance where the whole of the expenses
are deducted, but do not exceed 20 per cent, of the receipts, the duty is
repaid to the proprietor.
Any officer of excise authorised to do so may enter a place of entertain-
ment and any person who prevents or obstructs him is liable to a fine up to
£20.
Digest of Acts. 133
The Commissioners can make regulations, any breach of which entails
an excise penalty of £50, and they may make arrangements whereby the
local authority (county, borough, or urban district council), or the police
may exercise all or any of the powers of the Commissioners as to this duty.
The law is contained in the Finance (New Duties) Act, 1916, ss. 1 and 2, and
the Finance Act, 1916, s. 12.
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.
There is no restriction on the export of celluloid substances, but as regard-
the import of Films it is subject to the owner's right of copyright, and to the
payment of the Import Duties imposed by the. Finance Acts, 1925-1928.
(2) Imports. — The import of films is affected in three ways :
(a) Copyright.
(b) Customs Duty.
(c) Restriction of Imports.
(a) The owner of British copyright may notify the Customs that he
objects to copies made out of the United Kingdom of his work
which would be an infringement if made here, being imported.
The Customs make regulations dealing with this matter, and
breach of the prohibition leads to forfeiture and destruction of
the offending copies.
(b) The duty on imported films is as follows : Rate per foot of the
standard width, If inches : Blank film (also called raw film on
stock), $d. ; positives, i.e., films ready for exhibition, Id. ; nega-
tives, i.e., films containing a photograph from which positives
may be prepared, 5d. They can be placed in bond.
(c) Imported films must comply with the regulations for railway
transit.
TRANSIT BY RAIL.
Railway Regulations in regard to Film Boxes. — The specification
of the Railway Clearing House of the type of metal boxes required by the
Railway Companies to be used for the transit of films is as follows :
Boxes must be rectangular, wood-lined cases, to hold not more than six
films and measure not more than 14£ inches outside either way. They must
be made of galvanised iron of not less thickness than .022 of an inch (No. 25
b.g.) for the small one and two film cases, and not less than .028 of an inch
(No. 23 b.g.) for the larger sizes (three to six film cases).
All the corners of the sides and bottom must be strengthened by folding
seams, the top of the body having wired edges turned inwards. The hinge lid
must be turned down all round for a depth of one and a quarter inches. It
must fit over the body of the case and have wired edges turned outwards. It
must be attached to the body by two strong hinges, firmly riveted to both
body and lid, and fastened by stout wire hasps fitting over iron staples riveted
to the front of the case. Each hasp and staple must be locked, either by pad-
lock or by a spring safety hook, permanently to the staple by a short length
of stout chain. Cases for one and two films need only have one clasp and
staple fastening ; other sizes must have two.
Other conditions are that a thin metal label frame, open at the top,
must be riveted to the case in such a position that the top edge of the label
frame is covered by the lid when closed ; all the boxes must be completely
lined with plain wood of half-inch thickness fastened by rivets to the lid and
body of the case ; the following words must be painted in black on the lid :
" Cinema Films," in one-inch block letters, and " Keep in a cool place,"
in letters five-eighths of an inch depth. No other lettering must appear
on the lid. The name and address of the owners may be painted on the
sides or ends, and the cases must be unpainted.

Landlord and Tenant Act, 1927.
This Act came into force on the 25th March of this year. It provides
(inter alia) for compensation for improvements and compensation for loss
of goodwill.
The Rating and Valuation Act, 1925,
was passed (inter alia) to define what machinery and plant was deemed
to be part of the hereditament for rating purposes.
The Rating and Valuation Act, 1928,
was an Act passe'd to extend to the Administrative County of London
the provisions of the Rating and Valuation Act, 1925, with respect to the
valuation of hereditaments containing machinery and plant and to make
temporary provision with respect to the deduction to be made in ascertaining
the rateable value — to amend Sections 11 and 37 and the 4th and 5th
Schedules of the 1925 Act and to provide for the tenant decisions on points
of law with a view to securing uniformity in valuation.
The Rating and Valuation (Apportionment) Act, 1928,
was an Act passed to make provision with a view to granting of relief from
rates in respect of certain classes of hereditaments to be affected and the
apportionment in Valuation Lists of the net annual value of such heredita-
ments according to the extent and user thereof for various purposes.
Section 3, sub-section 1 of this Act contains provisions as to " Industrial
Hereditaments." " Industrial Hereditament " has been defined to mean
a hereditament occupied and used as a mine or mineral railway or as a factory
136 The Kinematograph Year Book.
or workshop. A hereditament though part of it may be in law a " factory "
or " workshop " is not to be treated as an Industrial hereditament if the
premises as a whole are not primarily used for the purposes of a factory or
workshop.
With regard to the position of a Kinematograph Theatre, in view of the
fact that the premises are not used primarily for the purposes of a factory
or workshop I do not consider it comes under the heading of " Industrial
Hereditament " and therefore does not appear to be entitled to " relief "
as an " Industrial hereditament."
The Rating and Valuation (Apportionment) Act Rules, 1928, made by the
Minister of Health under section 58 of the Rating and Valuation Act, 1925,
and of the Rating and Valuation (Apportionment) Act, 1928, prescribes the
forms of notices, claims and lists to be used for the purposes of the first
Schedule to the last mentioned Act and the dates to be observed in con-
nection with the preparation and approval of lists under that Schedule.
The list of valuations is deposited by the Rating Authorities at the office
of the Authority and any person aggrieved can object to the assessment
within 25 days of the deposit of the Valuation List. Forms of objection
can be obtained from the Rating Authorities, and the forms should contain
every possible ground for complaint. One person can object to another
person's assessment on the ground that it is too low, and in such a case the
occupier is entitled to receive notice from the Assessment Committee of the
objection.

HOME OFFICE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
Safety measures for the protection of audiences in kinemas, theatres and other
places of entertainment in time of war have heen 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
steps 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
should 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 glass 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 fighting 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.
Digest of Acts. 141
COPYRIGHT.
Under the Copyright Act, 1911, the owner of a literary or dramatic
work has the sole right to make a kinematograph film or other contrivance
by which the same may be mechanically performed, and to authorise such
acts. Before the Act it was held that there was no such right (Karno v.
Pathe Frires. 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 [Penning Film
Service v. Wolverhampton, etc., Cinemas [1914] 3 K.B. 1171). Where the
alleged infringement is such that the Court would not protect it as an original
work [e.g., on the ground of indecency), the owner of the copyright cannot
sue under the Act, but can claim damages for defamatory representation of
his work (Glyn v. Western Feature Film Co. [1916J 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.
142 The Kinemalograph Year Book.
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 : —
1. 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
lb) In smaller quantities unless kept (except when required to be
exposed for the purpose of the work carried on in the premises)
in a properly closed metal box or case ; and
(2) The keeping or storing of kinematograph film —
{a) In quantities exceeding at any one time twenty reels or eighty
pounds in weight, or
(b) In smaller quantities unless each reel is kept (except when re-
quired to be exposed for the purpose of the work carried on in the
premises) in a separate and properly closed metal box or case ; —
Provided that : —
(i.) For the purpose of this Act, kinematograph film shall
be deemed to be kept in any premises where it is tempor-
arily deposited for the purpose of examination, cleaning,
packing, re-winding or repair, but celluloid or kinemato-
graph film shall not be deemed to be kept or stored in any
premises where it is temporarily deposited whilst in the
course of delivery, conveyance or transport ; and
(ii.) The provisions of this Act shall not, except in the cases
referred to in paragraphs (c), (d) and [e) of Sub-section
(I) of Section 1 thereof, apply to premises to which the
Digest of Acts. 143
Factory and Workshop Acts, 1901 to 1920 apply. Nor
do the provisions of this Act apply to premises licensed
under the Cinematograph Act, 1909. It should be pointed
out, however, that under this Act any Officer duly
authorised by a local authority may at any time take
for analysis sufficient samples of any material which he
suspects to be or to contain Celluloid.
HOME OFFICE REGULATIONS, 1923.
The 1923 Regulations under the Cinematograph Act. 1909, are some-
what important, and have been somewhat amended from their original form,
owing to various meetings that took place between the Sub-Committee of the
C.E.A. and the Home Office.
The Regulations took the place of previous Regulations of February 18,
1910 and May 20, 191 3. The Regulations must be exhibited in the enclosure
and easily accessible to operators. They are dated July 30, 1923, and operate
from that date, but they would not affect any licence for the period for which
it was granted, though, of course, when the same is renewed the new conditions
will appear.
As regards clause 4, " Fire Appliances " footnote should be noticed,
as it lays down that a fireman need not be employed exclusively in taking
charge of the fire appliances. He must not, however, be given other work
during an exhibition which would take him away from the building or other-
wise prevent him from being immediately available in case of danger or
alarm of fire.
As regards No. 5, " Smoking," it should be observed that notices stating
that smoking is prohibited shall be kept posted in the enclosure and film
room or anywhere where films are stored, wound or repaired.
As regards No. 7, relating to enclosure, fire-resisting material now includes
teak or oak not less than two inches thick.
With regard to clause 7," Enclosures," Sec. 8, it will be noticed that in
case of need the enclosure may be left for a short period in charge of a com-
petent assistant over 16 years of age.
As to what is the exact definition of a " competent operator," one does
not know, but apparently it can be taken to mean that an operator who can
satisfactorily operate would come within the definition of a " competent
operator."
With regard to clause 13, " Lighting," it should be pointed out that if
the general lighting is by electricity the safety lighting shall be by {a)
electricity from another source (b) gas or (c) oil or candles.
One does not take this to mean that the safety lighting, if electricity,
shall be taken from an entirely different supply, but merely that there shall
be primary and secondary lighting installed in the building, the intention, of
course, being that should the electric light supply be temporarily interrupted,
the theatre will not be put into darkness
Clause 14, on " Electrical Installation," it shou d 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.

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

paragraph (a) of the preceding subsection as respects the quota period beginning with the first day
of April nineteen hundred and thirty-eight or either of the two renters' quota periods falling in the
year beginning with the first day of April nineteen hundred and thirty-nine or in any subsequent
year, if the aggregate of the registered lengths of the films acquired by him in that period or year,
as the case may be, for distribution in Great Britain which are registered as British long films and
also as renters' quota films bears to the aggregate of the lengths which are to be taken, for the purpose
of that paragraph, to be the lengths of those films, a proportion being less than one-half.
(3) The Board of Trade, after consulting the Cinematograph Films Council and considering its
advice in the matter, may, not later than the end of June in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-
eight or any of the eigh^ 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
(6) 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
Sim—
(a) if all the registered films so acquired by him in that period (exclusive of films registered
only as exhibitors' quota films) are old films, or
(b) 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, —

(a) the film has previously been acquired as aforesaid by some other renter, and
(6) 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.
(i) 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
z 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
(6) 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, suDJect 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
(6) be exhibited to the public at more than twelve theatres in Great Britain or at more than
six theatres in the administrative county of London or
(c) be exhibited to the public at more than one theatre in Great Britain on the same day ;
and if the renter delivers the film, after the end of that year, to an exhibitor for exhibition to the public
at a theatre in Great Britain, then, for the purpose of determining whether any quota conditions have
been fulfilled by him, the film shall (without prejudice to any previous effect of the directions) be
treated as if, at the time when he first so delivers it, he had acquired it for distribution in Great Britain.

(5) .-^-Combinations of renters for quota purposes.
Upon application made to them in that behalf, the Board of Trade, if they think fit, may, in
relation to any renters' quota period, designate any two or more renters as an approved combination
for the purpose of fulfilling the quota conditions as respects that period in relation to long films ;
and if, in that period, not more than one of those renters has acquired, for distribution in Great
Britain, more than three films which are registered as long films (other than films which are registered
only as exhibitors' quota films), the preceding sections of this Act shall, so far as regards the fulfilment
of the quota conditions as respects that period in relation to long films, apply to those renters as if
they constituted together a single renter :
Provided that the preceding provisions of this section shall, in relation to the renters' quota
period beginning with the first day of April nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, have effect as if in
those provisions for the word " three " there were substituted the word "six."
(6). — Provisions with respect to films acquired and registered in different periods.
Where, for the purpose of any of the preceding provisions of this Act, it is material to determine
what films a renter has acquired in any renters' quota period, a film which he has, in that period
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.

exhibitors' quota year, exhibited to the public at any theatre in Great Britain films which are regis-
tered as foreign long films, or has, in any such year, so exhibited films which are registered as foreign
short films, then, unless —
(a) in the first case, the proportion which the total length of films which have been exhibited
by him to the public at that theatre in that year, and are registered as British long films,
bears to the total length of films which have been so exhibited and are registered as
long films is at least equal to the proportion prescribed in relation to long films for that
year by Part II of the First Schedule to this Act, or
(b) 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.

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 : —

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.
(4) For the purpose of determining whether any conditions imposed by subsection (r) of this
section have been fulfilled as respects any exhibitors' quota year, a film which was first registered
as a British film more than four years before the beginning of that year shall be disregarded, unless,
upon an application made not later than the end of that year by a renter having a right to distribute
the film in Great Britain, the Board of Trade, after consulting the Cinematograph Films Council
and considering its advice in the matter, direct that the film shall be taken into account for that
purpose.

In the Courts
REGULATIONS
452 Reels Under a Platform.— Raymond
Stross, of the Maypole, Holywood, Co. Down,
Northern Ireland, was prosecuted at Holywood
Court for (i) permitting films to be kept in a
part of the building other than the enclosure or
winding-room ; (2) for not having a competent
operator, 21 years of age, present in the en-
closure ; and (3) for not having a sufficient staff
of attendants present. Sergeant Welch said he
found 452 reels of films under a platform which
had a wooden roof and sides. When he visited
the kinema he" found the show had just com-
menced. A girl of 19 was in charge of the booking
office and a boy of i6f was in charge of the
enclosure. J. Culbert, defending, said his client
had been appointed a film distributor, and being
unable to find proper storage for the films had
taken a number to his own kinema. He had a
fully-qualified operator, and the show should
not have started until 4.25. The boy had merely
started the machine to get it warmed up. The
Bench accepted the explanation, and imposed a
fine of £5, with £3 10s. costs, in the first case
and £1 and costs in the second. The third
charge was withdrawn.
Standing in a Gangway. The M. and 0
Theatres, Ltd., proprietors of the Savoy, Christ-
church Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth, were
fined £'5, and Benjamin Wishusen, the manager,
was fined £r, at Bournemouth, on October 13,
for allowing persons to stand. Mr. Wishusen
explained that one performance was just finish-
ing and he was afraid some of the people outside
would miss the start of the new performance, so
he let some of them in. Unfortunately, the
number of people leaving was not as many as he
expected ; within a few minutes the manager
got the people all seated.
Matches in Dispatch Vault.— For contravening
safety regulations at a joint dispatch store,
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Ltd., and
Warner Bros., Ltd., were each fined £5, with
£1 ns. 6d. costs, at Aldridge Police Court, in
July. The employees, Gerald Foster and Sidney
Boswell, were fined £1 each for taking matches
into the store. Police stated that six tons of
films were stored and that endeavours to get the
companies to fall in with the regulation- had
been unsuccessful. For the defence it was
pleaded that the printed copies of the Act had
been destroyed in the fire which had taken place
earlier and the companies had been unable to
obtain further copies.
Rebellious Smoker.— A fine of £2 was inflicted
upon Raymond Clifford Vaughan (21), kinema
attendant, at Gravesend, for smoking a cigarette
in the operating box of the Plaza, Windmill
Street. Evidence was given that the youth
entered the box smoking a cigarette, which he
refused to extinguish when requested by the
chief operator. He had to be forcibly ejected,
and the police were called at the defendant's
request. The Chief Constable stated that in view
of the seriousness of the matter he felt there
must be .1 prosei ution.
Under-age Operators. — For failing to have the
operating-box at the Royal Kinema, Wallgate,
Wigan, in charge of a competent operator over
18 years of age during a matinee exhibition for
children, on Saturday, July 12, the manager,
David Noar, of Southport, was fined £5 at Wigan
on July 28. Supt. H. Rigby explained that in
this case the apparatus was being operated by
two boys of 14 and 15 years of age respectively.
The manager was away at another kinema, and
the only person in charge was a female assistant.
In view of the fact that this was a children's
matinee the superintendent suggested that this
was a serious offence.
Mr. Baron, who defended, said there was a
great difficulty in getting operators and elec-
tricians. Defendant himself acted as operator,
but on this occasion he was called out on business.
He thought that the boy he had appointed was
r6 years of age.
Insufficient Staff. -Summoned for not pro-
viding sufficient staff at the Pavilion Picture
Theatre, Wombwell, the proprietary company.
Woinbwell Entertainments, Ltd., was fined £5
and costs, at Barnsley, in April. Arnold Teal,
manager, was fined £1 and costs for aiding and
aliening. Summonses for failing to keep gang-
ways and exits clear were dismissed. Inspector
Lambert said that at a recent children's matinee
the children were rather unruly and apparently
not under sufficient control. Teal said that he
had a staff of six at the matinee and they had
definite instructions how to act in an emergency.
" It is practically impossible to keep children
quiet when an exciting serial is on," he added.
Exit Gate Locked. — Pine Pictures, Ltd., New
Street, Birmingham, proprietors of Olympia,
Wolverhampton, were fined £20 at Wolver-
hampton, on January 8, for two infringements
of the Cinematograph Act, and the acting
manager, James Edwin Reginald Powell, was
fined £10 for aiding and abetting. At a children's
performance, on Saturday, November 23, a
constable found an outer exit gate padlocked',
and there were only two attendants on duty
instead of four.
QUOTA OFFENCES
Small Renters' Quota. The difficulty of
the small renter of obtaining British Quota
coverage for his American pictures was explained
in January, 1041, to the Appeal Committee of
the London Sessions who dismissed the appeal
oi Exclusive Films, Ltd., against an Order of
the Bow Street magistrate.
1 he rase, which w^as regarded as a test case
by the small independent renters, arose from
the di missal, under the Probation of Offenders
Act, on payment of 20 guineas costs, of a sum-
mons against Exclusive Films, Ltd., for " failing
to acquire the prescribed proportion of films
registered as renters' quota films." Appeals by
Equity British Films, Ltd., and Bernard Smith,
a director of the latter company, were adjourned
pending consideration of a further appeal.
For the Board of Trade it was stated that
Exclusive Films acquired 43,977 ft- "f foreign
in the Courts.
165
long film, bul no British quota film. British
films acquired by the company did no< qualifj as
quota films. If small renters pleaded that they
could not comply with the Act and required
exemption, however unfortunate it might be,
it was not an answer to this legislation. G. D.
Roberts, K.C., for the company, said the com
pany could acquire six "Westerns" for £200
each, but to comply with the Act they would
have to spend £12,000 to £15,000 on British
films. That would cause them to go out of
business.
Dismissing the appeal, A. W. Cockburn,
chairman, said the committee could not see
that a person was to be excused merely because
he was unable to find the additional monej
necessary to buy the requisite quota of British
him-,.
Quota Appeal Fails. The Appeal Committee
of the London Sessions on January 10 dismissed
the appeal of Metropolitan Provincial Cine-
matograph Theatres, Ltd., against a fine of
£100 and 40 guineas costs, which had been
imposed by the magistrate at West London
Police Court, in respect of a quota default
,it the Hammersmith Palace.
Anthony Hawke, for the Board of Trade,
said that in the year beginning October r, 1938,
to September 30, 1039, the applicants exhibited
7.55 British long films and 7.04 British short
films, which was just a little more than half of
the requirements.
For the applicants it was stated that when
the theatre changed in May from Variety to
Films, they found that every worth-while film
had been booked six months previously. Some
British shorts were shown and they were booed
and hissed from the gallery and had to be with-
drawn. They could not show "second" films
and keep open. Because they could not find
films that the house would stand they defaulted.
They relied upon Section 13 of the Act which
provided exemption. Counsel asked the Com-
mittee to say that the particular set of circum-
stances warranted a lower fine, particularly as
this was the first conviction. ►
Exhibitors' Quota Returns.— A number of
exhibitors who failed to make their returns
under the Cinematograph Films Act to the
Board of Trade were fined at the Bournemouth
Police Court on Wednesday, August 27. Some
other similar cases were adjourned until Septem-
ber 24 next for hearing. The cases were heard
at Bournemouth because the Board of Trade
Films Department is now housed in that town.
The defendants were : The Picturedrome
(Stamford), Ltd., and the Central Cinema (Stam-
ford), Ltd., both of Broad Street, Stamford,
Lincolnshire; Albert Warburton, in respect of
the Ritz, Darwen, Lancashire, and the New
Star, Burnley Road, Brierfield, Lancashire ;
Arthur E. W. Pentelaw, of "Woodlands,"
(irindleford, Sheffield, in respect of the Victory,
Miles Platting, Manchester, and the Picture
House Theatre, Tideswell, Derbyshire ; and
Selected Cinemas Amalgamation, Ltd., in
respect of the Grand, Kinswinfprd, Staffordshire.
In each of the cases heard a fine of £5, with
£1 is. costs, was imposed. Summonses against
Sydney Colwell Millar, in respect of the Picture-
drome, Gibson Street, Newcastle-pn-Tyne, and
the Gem Theatre, Tindal Street. Newcastle-on-
Tyne, were withdrawn as damage by 1
action had prevented the sending in of the
returns.
Quota Defaulters. -Twenty-two exhibitors
who made themselves liable to fines totalling
about £20,000 by not sending in in the specified
lime their Board of Trade returns of the films
they exhibited during the year ended Septem-
ber 30, 1940, under the 1 inematograph Films
Act, [938, were summoned at Bournemouth on
September 24. In all except one case lines of
£5 and £1 is. costs were imposed, the total
amount being £105 in fines and £23 6s. in costs.
The exception was the St. Peter's Picture
House (Grantham), Ltd., where it was stated
there was no negligence and the case was dis-
missed on payment of costs amounting to
£1 5s.
The following were summoned : The Star
Cinemas (London), Ltd., in respect of the
Majestic, Scunthorpe ; the Picturedrome, Slea-
ford ; the Empire, Wombwell ; the Savoy,
Worksop ; the Plaza, Fitzwilliam ; the Picture
House, Askern ; the New Star, Castleford ; the
( inema, Rotherham ; the Grand, Maltby ; the
Royal, Scunthorpe ; the Majestic, Normanton;
the Waterloo, Huddersfield ; the Regent,
Thirsk ; the Majestic, Chaddesden ; and the
Rex, Grimsby ; also connected with the same-
firm, W. R.' Eckart (the Regal, Worksop),
W. R. and R. Eckart (the Regent, Hudders-
field), and the Regent, Upton. The other four
summonses were against the Queen's Cinema
(Preston), Ltd., P. H. Vorke (the Guild Cinema,
Preston), St. Peter's Hill Picture House
(Grantham), Ltd., and the Picture House
(H.mwell), Ltd.
The cases were dealt with as mentioned above.
Manchester Quota Default.— Failure to show
the required footage of quota film at the Gaiety,
Manchester, resulted in the Buxton Theatre
Circuit, Ltd., with registered offices at Har-
greaves Street, Burnley, being lined £50 and
ordered to pay £10 10s. costs, at Manchester
Police Court on Oct. 30, 1041. A plea of
guilty was entered. On behalf of the Gaiety, D. I.
Sandelson explained difficulties that had been
encountered owing to the magistrates refusing a
licence pending certain alterations to the build-
ing, the loss of records and the departure of the
manager to* join the Army. Actually, the pro-
portionof British films booked to the Gaiety
wis 22" per cent.
West End Quota.— The Carlton Theatre
Co., I td., were at Bow Street on Tuesday,
November n, fined £50 with £10 10s. costs on
each of two summonses for failing to exhibit at
the Carlton Theatre, Haymarket, the statutory
quota of British films. The Plaza Theatre Co.,
Ltd., were fined £50 and £10 10s. costs on one
summons for a similar offence. T. W. Fry, the
magistrate, said the required quota for the year
ending October, 1040, was 15 percent, for British
long films and 12! per cent, for short films. The
Plaza fulfilled requirements as to short films,
but showed only 8.8 per cent, of long films.
The Carlton Theatre showed only 11.55 per cent,
of long films, and 6.45 per cent, of short films.
Defendants claimed to have rejected nearly 100
British films, either on the score of price or
length, or as being unsuitable to their audiences,
or as having been exhibited elsewhere, or likely
to prove unsuccessful. He did not think this
was a sufficient defence. British films were
obl.iiiial.li-, and, having regard to the hazards
attending .ill theatrical productions, it could
not be concluded that all these would have been
1 lilure .
LICENSING
Reclassified an "A" Film. When Tyne
Picture Houses, Ltd., were lined £5 at Wallsend
Police Court, on February 4, for permitting
children in the Royal Picture Hall, Wallsend,
when an " A " film was being exhibited, it was
alleged thai the classification of an "A" film
66
The Kinematograph Year Book.
was changed to "U" on the indicator board
after the week's run of the show had begun.
Frederick William Thirgood, manager of the
hall, charged with aiding and abetting, was
ordered to pay £2. Defendants pleaded guilty.
The "A" film was shown to an audience oi
over 250 children who were not accompanied by
parents or guardians. It was admitted that
there was nothing offensive in the particular
film.
Unlicensed Kinema.— Cornwall Cinemas, Ltd.,
Newquay, charged, on December 9, at Saltash,
with exhibiting films at the Kegal, Torpoint,
without a licence, were fined £5, plus 5s. for each
dayfrom October 18, 1941, to November6, 1941,
and 25s. costs.
Supt. Sloman said that Geoffrey ["aylor,
director of the company, on October 2(1, 1040.
applied for a licence, but the. County Architect
wrote to the secretary of the company stating
the plans submitted were inaccurate. Mean-
while, the kinema was being used, although no
licence had been granted, and when raylor
ailed at County Hall he was told that no licence
rould be issued because the kinema did not
conform to Home Office regulations nor the
requirements of the local authority. lie was
cautioned not to show any films till he had a
licence. Tavlor defied that caution.
Impossible Licence Conditions. The Ashton-
under-Lyne Licensing Justices, in July, reviewed
its conditions for the granting of a licence of the
Star, Church Street, and ultimately agreed to
modify its requirements. When the original
scheme for certain improvements was got out, in
conjunction with the Chief Constable, it was
thought they could be done for about £500, but
the quotation was well over £1,500, and prob-
ably the ultimate price would be in the region
of £2,000. In times like these it was utterly
impossible to carry through work of that
character. The Chief Constable agreed with this
view, but insisted upon the provision of a wide
exit and the alteration of the projection and re-
winding room. The licence was then renewed
SALARIES AND COMMISSIONS
Manager's Summary Dismissal. An impor-
tant decision on the law between employer and
employee was given by His Honour Judge
Scobell Armstrong at Truro County Court on
February 14, when he held that the proprietors of
the Plaza Cinema, Truro, were justified in
summarily dismissing a manager. The judge
gave his deferred judgment in an action heard at
two previous Courts, in which Percy James
Mills, of Truro, sued Sonnd and Movement
Cinemas, Ltd., of Plymouth, for £3 8s. 3d.,
which he claimed as due to him as wages
Giving judgment for the kinema company
with costs, his Honour said thai Mr. Mills, who
was under a week's notice, was asked by the
supervisor to show his successor the routine.
As Mr. Mills was unwilling to comply, G. P.
Prance, the managing director, agreed that it
was an embarrassing situation, and said it would
be best for Mr. Mills to hand over the keys to the
supervisor for checking in his presence, and to
leave the theatre that night. Had Mr. Mills
consented to that he would have become entitled
when he left at the end of the day, to the whole
of his week's wages, for the contract would then
have been terminated not by summary dismissal
but by the employer's decision to dispense with
hi- sen i' es. Mr. Mills flatly refused to hand over
ih" I r\ . unless his wages were handed to liim at
the nid ot the checking, and because of th.it
refusal Mr. Prance told him to leave at once.
He also refused to do that, and was prevailed
on to go only after the police hail been called,
liven then he persisted in his refusal to surrender
the keys, being apparently under the delusion
that he was entitled to impound his employer's
property for the purpose of enforcing his legal
right. As soon as he had taken legal advice the
keys were wisely and promptly restored. Their
retention was the subject of a counter-claim
which had since been withdrawn. An employer
dismissing ,\w employee for reasons other than
misGondud could either give notice terminating
the contract at a future date, or to terminate it
forthwith by paving the wages which would
be due on the expiration of the notice. If, as in
this 1 ase, the employer adopted the first alterna-
tive, the employee was under a contractual
duty to serve him for the further wage period —
in this case a week — and unless the employer
decided to dispense with his services before the
expiration of that period no wage became due
until he had fulfilled this contractual obligation.
If the employee's misconduct, such as a breach
of his promise of obedience, brought about the
termination of the contract a moment before the
current week's service had been performed or his
services had been dispensed with, he had no
claim to be paid wages for any part of the un-
completed wage period. His Honour concluded
that in this case the degree of disobedience
justified summary dismissal, and he gave judg-
ment for the company with costs.
£10,000 Commission Appeal. Judgment was
given in the House of Lords on December 12
upon the appeal of Luxor (Eastbourne), Limited,
and Regal (Hastings), Limited, against a judg-
ment of the Court of Appeal reversing one that
justice Branson had given in their favour in
the King's Bench Division.
Respondent to the appeal was Norman Aldred
Cooper, insurance broker, of Brunswick Gardens,
Kensington. The latter brought an action
before Mr. Justice Branson, in which he claimed
£'10,000 as commission for introducing a pur-
chaser ready and willing to buy the Luxor.
Eastbourne, ami the Regal, Elite, and de Luxe,
Hastings. Alternatively, Mr. Cooper claimed
the same sum as damages for alleged breach of
contract. His case was U1.1t he introduced the
London and Southern Cinemas, Ltd., who were
willing to buy the kinenias for £185,000 (to
include his commission of £10,000) and that the
appellants declined to complete the sale, accept-
ing an arrangement by which the majority of the
shares in appellant companies were transferred
to the Union Cinema Co., Ltd. Mr. Justice
Branson held thai the appellant companies had
a reasonable and just cause for refusing to
complete the sale, but the Court of Appeal took
an opposite view and gave Mr. Cooper judgment
for £8,000 and costs for breach of contract. The
appeal to ike House of Lords was allowed. The
Lord Chancellor in the course of his judgment
said : It seemed to him that the express bargain
was simply this : if a party introduced by re-
spondent should buy the kinenias forat least
£185,000, each of the two appellants would pay
to the respondent £5,000 on the completion of
sale. Xo such sale, however, took place.
Accordingly, there could be nothing due to
respondent on the terms of -the express bargain.
He therefore was of opinion that the appeal
should be allowed.

PLAGlARiSM
Injunction for Film Title. An interim
injunction restraining Rialto Products, Ltd.,
from exhibiting a film under the title I bis
Man is Dangerous," so as to pass off. the film as a
reen production of Peter Cheyney's novel of the
same name, was granted to Mr. Cheyney by
MY. Justice Oliver in the Vacation Court on
August i j. The film is an adaptation of a book
entitled "They Called Him Death," written
by John Victor Turner, whose pen name is
" 1 >a\ itl Hume."
J. V. Nesbitt, for Rialto Productions, Ltd.,
said that they were not attempting to gain
any benefit from Mr. Cheyney's book. " This
Man is Dangerous" was a common-place
expression in which Mr. Cheyney could not have
any proprietary right, and the defendants were
entitled to use the title as long as they made it
plain, as they had done, that it had nothing to
do with the book. The public were told clearly
in the credit titles and by poster that it was taken
from David Hume's story. The posters of the
film supplied to kinemas contained the words
" David Hume's thriller."
CONTRACTS
Loss of Profits. — At the Glamorgan Assizes
on November 28, at Cardiff, an action was
lirought by the Barton Cinemas, Ltd., of Barry,
who claimed £2,705 damages from George
Motton, contractor, of Barry Dock, for breach
of covenant in respect of the Palace, Barry Dock.
Motton leased the Palace Cinema and its eon-
tents to the Barton Cinema Co., Ltd., at a rent
of £520 per annum and undertook the responsi-
bility of keeping the walls in jgood condition.
In April, 1937, the kinema was destroyed by fire
but Motton did net make any attempt to rebuild.
The plaintiffs claimed £2,705 as loss of profits.
Mi-. Justice Hallett gave judgment for the
pl. until"! company with costs.
GENERAL
Seat-Slashers. -Senseless slashing of seals in
two Bury kinemas was alleged against two
schoolboys of n and 13 at Bury Juvenile Court
on November 14, who were also charged with
stealing £47 ios. from the box-office of another
kinema. Another boy said in one kinema the
boys showed him two big knives, and he saw
them moving from seat to seat cutting the
upholstery and tearing the padding. A row
of se.its had to be replaced. At another kinema
they ripped up the feet of the seat-, from the
Moor. The offenders were bound over.
Sale of Hastings Kinemas. An appeal wis
heard by the House of Lords in the action
instituted by Regal (Hastings), Ltd., against
some of its former directors and the company's
solicitor. The action was dismissed bv Mr.
Justice Wrottesley on August 30, 1940, and his
judgment was upheld by the Court of Appeal
on February 12, 1941.
Regal based their action on the allegation thai
Messrs. Chas. Gulliver, Arthur Frank Bobby,
David Edward Griffiths, Harry < barles Bassetl
and Harry Bently (directors) ami Peter Garton
(solicitor) used their position as such to acquire
shares in Hastings Amalgamated Cinemas, Ltd.,
for themselves with a view to selling them at a
very substantial profit and w< re ai 1 ountable to
Regal for the profits. It was proposed in July,
1935, that Regal should acquire leases of two
small kinema- in Hastings and St. Leonards 1 ailed
Elite and the Cinema de Luxe. and that a sub-
sidiary company with a < apital of £5,000 should
lie formed by Regal for the purpose of acquiring
the leases. Evidence was given at the trial that
the Board of Regal decided that Regal was not
in a position to subscribe more than £2,000 for
shares in the Amalgamated company and the
directors and Mr. Carton each applied for 500
of the remaining 3,000 shares. They later sold
their shares at a profit of £2 ids. id. a share.
A. T. Miller, K.C., who appeared for Regal in
support of the company's appeal, invited their
lordships to hold that the directors of a company, .
although not commonly ealled trustees, must bo
considered as in the position of trustees in such a
transaction. H. Wynn Parry, K.C., contested
this. He said that unless the dire tors had put
the money to acquire the shares in Amalgamated
the deal would have fallen through. Their
action enabled the company to gam some
advantage. Cartwrighl Sharp, K.C., for Mr.
Garton, said that the company could not
succeed against him unless it could be shown
that he [nit himself in a position where his duty
and private interest conflicted and there was, in
his submission, no such conflict. Judgment
was reserved.
I lengthy Judgment was pronounced in the
House of Lords mi February 20, 1942, in this
action, which was started seven years ago. It
appears in full in the Jvine Weekly of February,
26, IQJ2.
Queue Summons. Rufus L. Thomas, manager
of the Grand Cinema, Aberavon, was summoned
for "wilfully obstructing the footway" by
allowing a queue to form outside the kinema.
An interesting legal point was submitted by
the defence, who argued that there was no
evidence of wilful obstruction. The evidence
was that ill'.- manager was inside the kinema
and was not "aware that a queue had formed. It
was, therefore, the people in the queue that
formed the obstruction and not the manager.
Police Inspector Folland, submitted that it
was the manager's duty to see that there was
no obstruction, and failure to do so was tanta-
mount in law to a wilful act. The magistrates
adjourned the case for 14 days to consider the
legal point raised.
A Preposterous Claim. -A claim for damages
for injuries alleged to have been caused through
slipping on some steps was dismissed on May 7
by Mr. Justice Macnaghten in the Manchester
Civil Court with the epithet " preposterous."
II was admitted that plaintiff had used the steps
for nearly two years and it was stated that they
conformed to the regulations of the London
County Council. The action was brought by
M.uy Catherine King (15), Robert Stanley
Street, Bolton, against the proprietors and
occupiers Of the Cinema (Rialto), Bolton, Ltd.
It was alleged that during the performance
plaintiff left the kinema to go across the road
and buy some ice cream. When returning
plaintiff fell upon the steps injuring her leg.
The judge said that it was pleaded that
defendants were negligent because the steps
which Miss King had gone up and down for
nearly two years were so steep and narrow as to
be dangerous to children. There was no com
petenl evidence as to other allegations. It
ieemed to be forgotten, added his lordship,
that the common law in England not only
required a person to lake 1 are not to injure
another, but also to take reasonable care for his

The Kinematograph Year Hook.
Whose Responsibility? The question as to
whether .1 company who had delegated their
powers i" a manager could be held responsible
for a black-out offence was raised at East
Penwith Sessions, when Arthur lames Firth,
manager of the King's, Camborne, was suni-
1 for allowing a light to be visible at the
kinenia. Sound and Movement Cinemas, Ltd.,
Plymouth, owners of the house, were also
summoned. It was contended that as they had
delegated their powers to the manager to see that
the regulations were observed the company could
not legally be held to be occupiers of the premises.
The prosecution maintained that as owners and
in a legal sense occupiers of the premises the
company should see that the black-out regula-
tions were complied with, and this they had not
done. The Bench found the case proved against
both defendants, who were each fined £l.
Arson Allegation Dismissed. Appeals against
the decision of the Recorder of Londonderry in
dismissing three claims, amounting in all to
£41,700, brought against the corporation for
damage to the Opera House Kinenia, its equip-
ment and consequential loss, were dismissed at
Londonderry Assizes Appeal Court by Mr.
Justice Brown. Appellants were William
Doherty, who claimed £28,500 ; City Pictures,
Ltd., who claimed £12,201 for the loss of [cine-
matographic materials; and who, with Western
Electric, also claimed £1,000 in respect of the
sound projector system. The appellants' case
was that the fire which destroyed the kinema
was of malicious origin and occurred after fire
notices had been served upon Londonderry
kinemas by the I.R.A. On the other hand, the
corporation's chief fire officer alleged that the
origin of the fire was a defective flue. Affirming
the decision of the Recorder and dismissing the
appeals with costs, Air. Justice Brown said no
theory had been advanced that had not been
demolished by si mebody else. The onus was on
the appellants to prove that the fire could only
have been caused maliciously.
Unstamped Film Contracts. Hearing a case
in which an exhibitor was sued for damage to a
copy of a film hired for exhibition, his Honour
fudge I. 1'r iser Harrison commented sharply on
the statement made in evidence at Bury (Lams)
County Court, in April, that the original contract
was not stamped. The case was one in which
Metro-Goldwyii-Mayer Pictures, Ltd., sued
R. II. Greenwood, a Tottenham kinema pro-
prietor, for damage to a film. When the defence
asked for production of the contract it was
stated that it was in London and was not
stamped. The judge adjourned the case on
payment of the costs by the plaintiffs.
Fire-Watcher Summoned.— Judgment was
given by the Salford stipendiary magistrate in a
case where a kinema fire-watcher was sum-
moned for not discharging his fire-watching
duties at the place, of his day-time employment.
Defendant was Herman Smith, employed at the
corporation gasworks. He declined duty one
night when he was engaged for fire-watching at
the kinema, but offered to fire-watch on Sunday
nights. When the case first came before the
stipendiary magistrate Smith said he had no
wish- to shirk his obligations. The issue was, who
had prior claim on his services ? The stipendiary
rate held that it did not seem common
sense that an employee should be liable for
carrying out an arrangement when the arrange-
ment was not enforceable against the employer.
The summons was dismissed.
Gas Safety Lighting.— At Port Talbot Police
Court, on May 8, the Portavon Cinema Co.,
Port l.dbot, were fined £1 for an offence under
the Cinematograph Act, 1909, in respect of its
secondary lighting system, at the Grand. The
company pleaded guilty to a technical offence,
and stated that the secondary lighting system
was gas, whereas all the other kinemas belonging
to the company in the town and district had
electricity. They were grateful to the Fire
Department for bringing the defect to their
notice. Once the manager was notified of the
defect he took immediate steps to remedy it.
Dodging the Column.— Fines of £10 each and
costs, £4 ns. 8d., in addition, were imposed upon
two Newcastle men, on May 23, for misrepre-
sentation of employment in relation to National
Service. Arthur Woolf, kinema manager, had
declared that he was a kinema operator, and
Maurice Cohen, managing director of the com-
pany owning the Imperial, Newburn, had
supported the statement. Percy L. Frankham,
who prosecuted for the Ministry of Labour and
National Service, said that Woolf had declared
he was employed at the kinema as operator,
whereas his major occupation was that of
manager. At that time kinema operators were
reserved from the age of 25 and Woolf was over
that age. The occupation of manager was not
reserved. Afterwards, Mr. Frankham continued,
when amplification was required Woolf said he
was second operator, still not disclosing the fact
that he was manager. For the defence, it was
stated that Woolf had been trained as an operator
and regularly worked in the box.
Judgment for British Lion. — In the King's
Bench Division, in June, judgment for the
British Lion Film Corporation, Ltd., was entered
by Mr. Justice Hilbery for £12,283 7s. Hd., with
costs, .against Herbert Wilcox. Samuel Woolf
Smith produced an agreement in writing, dated
December 30, 1938, and also a deed dated
March 24, 1939. Mr. Wilcox was a party to both
documents and under the deed he gave certain
guarantees that referred to the obligations of the
Imperator Films Productions, Ltd. Under the
agreement this company was liable to pay
£12,283 7s- lxd. t° plaintiffs. No part of that
sum had been paid.
Took Cash for Expenses. — A former manager
of the Majestic, Beeston, Reginald G. Warner,
pleaded guilty at the Shire Hall, Nottingham,
on February 15 to stealing chocolates, cigarettes
and ices valued £9 3s. 4d., and £2 10s. in nioiTey
belonging to his employers, the Abbey Theatres,
Ltd., between September 30 and January 25.
It was stated that Warner, who was previously
at a London kinema which had been bombed,
came to Beeston at the end of September and was
given notice to leave his employment on Satur-
day, January 25. He received his wages,
£4 15s., but he did not report for duty on the
Saturday, and when the cash in the safe was
examined it was found that (2 ros. was missing,
although he had, " rather cheekily," left a receipt
for the money. When arrested he said : "That
is right. I took the £2 10s. for my expenses
and left a receipt." Because of his good
character, Warner was bound over for 12
months and ordered to pay £3 costs.

of. £'500, the whole of which had been issued.
At the outbreak of hostilities the takings had
declined owing to evacuation of people and there
was also extensive damage in the district
through enemy action. The draft statement
of affairs showed liabilities of £1,952, ^ii'l the
only asset was cash in hand qf £3. The liquidation
was left in the hands of the Official Receiver.

Official Receiver reported that the companj was
formed in February, 1935, with a nominal
capital of £100, which was subsequently im rea ed
to £10,000. The failure was attributed to the
outbreak of war and particularly to the bombing
of the area in which the 1 omp in) 's kinema was
situated. The draft statement oi affah
liabilities amounting to £44,854, and no assets.
Grand, Gillingham. -A meeting of the
creditors of P.G. Productions, Ltd., Grand,

£3,380 18s. lod. In order to carry out re-
novations and provide working capital for the

overdraft was obtained on the guarantee of the
two directors. Losses were sustained in carry-
ing on the theatre, which was twice closed, but
subsequently reopened. The kinema, however,
was finally closed down last November. Creditors
for approximately £2,000 would withdraw their
claims. Then, if the assets provided more than
sufficient to discharge the preferential claims,

inproved.

shareholders of the X.G.L. Syndicate, Ltd.,
kinema proprietors, 214, Westminster Bridge
Road, London, were held on January 23. The
company was formed in 1911, and the concern
did very well until about 1937, when the L.C.C.

considerably reduced the population- on which
the company drew for its audiences. The
takings after the war dropped very considerably
and losses were incurred. in Septembei last,

criminate bombing, the kinema was closed
down. Liabilities were estimated at £1,830.

Borrowed to Build. When Claude Morris
Marx, ot "Clear Down," Rickiuaiisworth,

17, at St. Albans, it was disclosed that his
statement of affairs showed a deficiency of
/ 15,154. His only assets were described as an
uncertain contingent life interest in a marriage
settlement. He attributed his failure to com-
mencing business with insufficient capital,
heavy interest on borrowed money, the de-
pressed state ol the kinema trade since the
outbreak of the wai an.! the loss sustained upon
the sale of his kinema at Harrow. In con-
tion with this last transaction it was re-
vealed that although already in debt to the
extent of £5,000, he was able to raise £21,000
upon mortg iges, eti . Previously he had been
employed with various film renters, including the
Alpha Film C01 poration. Debtor admitted that
he had to repay (/.so when threatened with an
action for misrepresentation in respect of a
previous kinema transaction. With borrowed
money lie had paid £1 ,000 for shares in a football

" tout " for a West End gaming den.

ing of creditors of Benjamin Jacobs, known as
Ben Jay. of ina, Wardour Street, W.i, was held
1 11 February 12; liabilities were returned at about
£5,000. His assets 1 onsisted of shares and leases

as an exhibitor at Columbia, Hackney, had been
interested in jj other kinemas and entertain-
ment halls, 14 of which were open at the date of
the receiving order. The failure was attributed
to the evacuation of people from districts where
the kinemas were situated, and to enemy
action whereby five kinemas suffered severely.

estate.

184 The Kinematograph Year Bool:.
FILM EXHIBITION AND KINEMA
TECHNIQUE
By A. L. Carter.
THE bsginning of the third year of hostilities opens a new and critical
phase in the war-time operation of the Film Industry which was barely
envisaged a twelve-month back. The spread of the conflict to world
dimensions has introduced many complicated problems, the profound and
necessarily disturbing influence of which upon the future of the Industry is
already discernible in many departments of production and exhibition.
It is difficult to realise fully what will b3 the future implications of a
situation so full of political menace to the continuance of the satisfactory
discharge of the service to the community which authority acknowledges the
kinema is so admirably carrying on. Apart from these significant possibilities,
however, the circumstances of the Industry during the past year has radically
altered fiom that of 1940.
The beginning of 1941 was the testing-time for ail those official theories
embodied in the multifarious A. R. P. regulations. How well justified were these
precautionary measures the events of 1940/41 air raids fully proved, and in the
comparatively quiet period which followed lessons learned from the experience
of the previous winter have provided additional assurance of the adequacy
to our arrangements for passive defence. This time last year many exhibitors
were considering how best they could have salvaged their businesses over-
whelmed in scores of bomb-stricken areas — to-day sees hundreds of repaired
and renovated theatres re-equipped to shoulder again their responsibilities to
the Government and the public. Indeed, the Trade is in a more satisfactory
position than even the most optimistic expected at the outbreak of hostilities
would have been possible after 28 months of war.
Both exhibition and the production sides have proved the inherent
economic stability of the financial structure of the Industry. A general rise
of 25 per cent, admissions has taken place, despite a reduction of 10 per cent,
in the number of kinemas open for entertainment. The average weekly
admissions are estimated to have risen by 3,500,000 from the original pre-war
estimate of 20,000,000. Although there has been no increase in the number
of British films made, the high quality achieved and the gratifying box-office
response has resulted in cash to almost any amount being made available to
recognised producers.
The reason that these heartening improvements in the status of the
Industry have not been accompanied by correspondingly notable technical
advances in the scientific departments, is due to the preoccupation of
the majority of our technicians on war research. Evidence, however, that
progress, is being made in certain directions from which the kinema will
ultimately benefit was forthcoming at the May meeting of the British Kine-
matograph Society when a surprisingly large number of new apparatus was
exhibited and demonstrated. The manner in which the Industry is serving
the national cause will come to light in later years in much the same way as
the mirror principle of arc illumination — to mention one example — -developed
after the last war. The only possible exception was a more or less experi-
mental demonstration, by J. L. Baird, of small screen television in stereoscopy
and colour. Progress in the development of large screen television is reported
from America, but war-time precautions prevent a detailed listing of technical
improvements. Research in " stereoscopic sound " has engaged the attention
of many U.S. workers, and it seems likely that after the war a series of systems
will be available which, while embodying the main principles of directional
reproduction, will achieve this effect by a simpler process than that which
necessitated the use of three or four sound tracks involving a complementary
outlay on projection modifications. For the most part, the technical history
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 185
nl the period has been a continual struggle by limited and often not fully
experienced staffs against shortage of material and equipment to keep the
show running — -often with makeshift means. The fact that there have been
so relatively few breakdowns and that the quality of the screened picture has
been so consistently good justifies the warmest commendation of the enthusi-
asm, the hard work and selfless devotion to their job of the staffs who have
been called upon to function in circumstances of almost unbelievable difficulty ;
no less credit is due to the work of the sound service engineers who have
Contributed to this result.
The restriction placed upon expenditure and the reduction of competitive
forms of relaxation, coupled with the Government encouragement of the
kinema as a sustainer of public morale and as a medium of propaganda, have
resulted in the Industry reaching its third war- year in a financial position
which has never been stronger. The estimated annual turnover is now
reckoned to be in the neighbourhood of £50,000,000, although the number of
kinemas have decreased by 464 since the beginning of the war, and the
admissions, during early 1941, were comparatively low owing to air raids.

Damage by air raid does not account for the whole of this number of closures,
some being due to removals of population, requisitioning, and other reasons.
The past year has been noteworthy for the big financial moves in con-
nection with the three big circuits which are regarded among independent
exhibitors as a step towards the control of the Industry. That the menace is
a very real one is obvious from the fact that to all intents and purposes one-
quarter of the biggest and newest theatres in the countiy are controlled by
two groups, in both of which there is a huge investment of American money.
In one case, Warner Bros, bought into A.B.P.C. by the purchase for £900,000
of Mrs. Maxwell's holding. Concern at the deal was roused by the C.E.A.,
who feared the prospect of American control, but the negotiations which
involved the transfer of American dollar exchange in payment was approved

by the Treasury, although the retention of control in British hands was
understood to be assured. The chief objection to the other instance was not
the penetration of American capital into the Industry but the prospect of
trustification by the single control of vast exhibitor, renting, producer, and
equipment interests represented by Odeon and Gaumont-British. The cause
for anxiety arose by the" buying by J. Arthur Rank, who had been long
associated with the many film activities — distribution, production and
theatre — of C. M. Woolf of a controlling interest in Metropolis and Bradford
Trust, which in .turn controls G.-B. The death, at the end of the year of
Oscar Deutsch, founder of the Odeon circuit, led to Mr. Rank becoming
Chairman of the organisation, a similar position which he also holds with
G.-B. and its manifold subsidiary companies- There is no indication at the
moment of any other point of contact between G.-B. and Odeon, but the
probability is already being seriously considered by exhibitors whose already
grave concern about the power of the circuits in booking or other Trade
registrations is being greatly intensified. Many independents already profess
to see in the growing strength of circuit representation on C.E.A. executives,
concrete evidence of a deliberate circuit challenge to independent interests.
The exhibitor has been engaged in what almost amounts to a dual struggle
for existence. Not only has there been the always-present enemy action,
but he has been beset by numberless orders, instructions and controls — •
any one of which might conceivably contribute to the extinction of the
Industry. Much of the detail work arising from representations and deputa-
tions to various Government Departments would have been eliminated had
the framers of the regulations dealing with the conduct of the home front
during the war seen fit to implement the Government's oft-quoted assurance
that the kinema is an essential service. Lack of appreciation of the peculiar
circumstances of the Trade has thrown a vast and often unwarrantable amount
of work upon the C.E.A. officers. All phases of the Industry have engaged
their attention, and members fully endorsed the warm testimony paid by
Lord Wedgwood, at the annual meeting of A.B.P.C., when he declared
that exhibitors relied to a very great extent for the effective representation
of their interests upon the Association. It certainly has been a period of great
responsibility, and continuous hard work has been necessary to keep abreast
of the very complicated requirements of the Industry in the light oi war
legislation.
Among the more important problems dealt with was the amendment of
the Quota, which somewhat mitigated the hardship experienced by exhibitors
in their search for British product ; the War Damage Act, the various implica-
tions of which engaged the attention of the Association for nearly a year
without, however, achieving a wholly satisfactory solution ; the successful
opposition to the curfew proposals, and the not altogether abortive attempt
to obtain amelioration of the Government's man-power proposals. Wage
discussions which are now undertaken on a national basis evoked considerable
discussion before the acquiescence, this year, in another increase in the war-
bonus. Representations were made in respect of the incidence of the Paper
Control Order, and more recently of the still prohibition ; a careful watch has
bsen kept on arbitrary licensing conditions, particularly those in connection
with Sunday opening. One of the most involved and exhaustive inquiries
undertaken by the C.E.A. was the examination of the valve situation and the
fact that no early easement ot the situation is likely is certainly no fault of
the Technical Committee. Early this year the exhibitor organisation brought
forward proposals for the examination of the case for an all-round increase in
admission prices, and the principle being approved, the subject is being
discussed by the branches. This brief review of the C.E.A. activities
has made no mention of the time and energy expended in deputations and
discussions and finally analysing various regulations and subsequently inter-
preting them to members, nor of the thousand-and-one matters of national
detail which have engaged the attention of General Secretary W. R. Fuller,
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 187
and his officers and associates, but it affords a very clear indication of the
indispensable and loyal service the Association is rendering to the Trade
which it is doubtful could have been better secured by a joint council of
every element in the business suggested by Councillor H. P. E. Mears, but
eventually turned down.
The year has witnessed further insistence on complaints concerning the
inordinate length of mediocre films in order to support the policy favoured by
the Americans of the one-feature programme. One view expressed was that
no film should be more than between 6,000 ft. and 7,000 ft. There exists some
diversity of opinion as to" whether one- or two-feature programmes are the
most popular, but there is a general agreement that more four-reelers are
wanted. The current tendency to increased footage has a detrimental effect
upon the war-time programme to the extent of limiting the footage necessary
for news and propaganda subjects.
A growing difficulty is experienced by exhibitors in the increasing demands
for free screen time for trailers and short films generally with a national or
local application to the war or social services. Hitherto such subjects were not
covered by the agreement between the C.E.A. and the Ministry of Information
which controlled the presentation of special propaganda shorts, but the
situation was eased by a decision that the M. of I. should be the sole channel
of application.
Licensing authorities have been closely watching the arrangements made
for the safety and well-being of the public, and it is to the credit of the efficient
staffing and arrangements that so many have paid tribute to the manner in
which managements had met the abnormal conditions existing as the result
of the war and the way in which provision for the entertainment of the public
has been maintained. These tributes have been fairly earned by exhibitors
who have ensured their shows shall go on, notwithstanding the multifarious
and ever-increasing responsibilities he must shoulder, some in common with
the rest of us, but the more exacting one peculiar to the entertainment
business. Not only do black-out, fire-watching and fire-fighting duties demand
constant vigilance, but the loss of male employees and the withdrawal of the
female workers have complicated the problem of catering for the largely-
increased attendance at kinemas.
LEGISLATION AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Trili amendment of the Quota provisions of the Films Act was the only
legislative enactment during 1941 directly applicable to the Industry if
one excepts the subsequent Control Order relating to various forms of generator
equipment and, more recently, the prohibition of the use of stills, both of
which, though specially directed to the Trade, are really an integral part of
the war-time economy which has affected the functioning of every business
in the country. The National Service Act, the A.R.P. commitments, paper
restrictions, transport, and curfew hours are instances of matters in which
the peculiar interests of the kinemas were not assailed in a greater degree
than those of any other Trade, but which, nevertheless, provided cause for
anxiety on the part of exhibitors and, consequently, had to be tackled with
varying degrees of success by the C.E.A. , whose executive has had to be almost
in continuous session dealing with many points which affect the exhibiting
side of the Trade. In many cases, the divided control of the direction of
war-time amusement has caused difficulties where the local and national
interpretation of a regulation has been at variance, but on the whole most
obstacles have been successfully surmounted and a satisfactory compromise
has been found possible. The case in point was the suggestion brought
forward of a 7 p.m. curfew for kinemas on the grounds that such a restriction
would relieve the transport situation which was vigorously and successfully
opposed by the C.E.A., whose contention was that such a step was more likely
188 The Kinemaiograph Year Book.
to intensity rather than relieve the strain upon traffic undertakings and that
it would prevent the munition workers from enjoying an evening's relaxation.
It was also pointed out that early closing 'during 1940 served no purpose, but
affected the efficiency of production and the maintenance of morale, caused
loss of revenue by way of entertainment, excise and income taxes, and
restricted the playing time of propaganda films. These arguments proved
effective and announcing his decision in the House of Commons, Herbert
Morrison, the Minister of Home Security, admitted the national importance
of the work being carried out by the Industry upon which he had no desire
to impose increasing restrictions. Unless heavy raiding called for special
measures in any area the normal closing hour would bs fixed not later than
10 p.m. This decision had a salutary effect upon many local authorities who
had imposed earlier hours of closing, but there were others who yet insisted
upon their retention. The man-power proposals affected both kinemas and
studios, and although representations made t6 the Government did not
obtain all that was aimed at assurances were obtained that the functioning of
both departments of the Industry would not be unduly interfered with. The
Clothes Rationing Order also affected these branches and although no con-
cession was made to the kinemas, certain modifications were granted to the
studios which entailed no great a degree of hardship.
One matter — Sunday opening conditions — which, though primarily the
responsibility of the local licensing authority, is likely to^be referred to Parlia-
ment as soon as national conditions warrant. This subject has been the
source of considerable complaint owing to the many arbitrary and unreason-
able conditions which have been appended to Sunday opening licences.
Many of them have been so arduous that exhibitors have refused to take up
the licenses under the terms laid down. In view of the wide variation of these
conditions — principally the importance of the Charity clause, the amendment
of the Act involving a modification of the clause dealing with the Charity
contribution is expected to rank as one of the first tasks of the General Council
during the post-war period. In this connection, unsuccessful attempts have
been made to obtain the agreement of the London and Middlesex County
Councils to a reduction of the 12 per cent, charity contribution. It is urged
that the license conditions should be made uniform throughout the country
and emphasis has been directed to the differing bases of the assessment.
Apart from the financial consideration, many attempts have been made
to enforce some sort of jurisdiction over the type of patrpns and the prices of
admission. The Liverpool Licensing Justices endeavoured to prevent the
attendance of any child at Sunday performances, but exhibitors declined to
avail themselves of the proffered facilities and challenged the action as bring
ultra vires proceeding to 'take steps to test its validity in the High Court.
As a result, the condition was withdrawn and licenses were issued on the same
terms as week-days. A threat by Brighton exhibitors to close on Sundays
also had the effect of the dropping of a proposal to increase the S.O. levy
£1,000 to £1,500. Another instance of dictation which is being brought to the
notice of the Home Office comes from Ipswich, where the Sunday programme
change and seat prices are to be subjected to control. Clear indication that
the Home Office does not countenance such procedure was conveyed in a -letter
to the Carlisle City Council dealing with its attempt to restrict Sunday opening
to soldiers. The Home Office stated that it was regrettable that the Council
should be unwilling to make an order under Defence Regulation 42 from a
fear that other persons might enjoy such Sunday entertainment.
The endeavour of some authorities to compel managements to refuse
admission to patrons not carrying their gas masks, was resented on the grounds
that onus for such disciplinary action should not be placed on the exhibitor.
The seat price controversy has remained fairly quiescent, and there is record
of only one authority — -Kettering — -following the lead of the I..C.C, upon
whose regulations the new license conditions has been modelled. This and
another instance where the Safety rules of the L.C.C. were quoted in a claim
Film Exhibition and Kincma Technique 189
for damages heard in a provincial Court of Law as evidence of the structural
soundness of a staircase, are significant examples of the manner in which the
lead of the L.C.C. is followed by provincial authorities. Tt emphasises the need
for most rigid examination of proposed additions to the rules of management
of that authority before they are acquiesced in by exhibitors. At the same
time, it is not often there is a complaint concerning arbitrary licensing action
by the L.C.C., and consequently there was surprise expressed at its action,
apparently on the strength of periodical review, in banning, without viewing
the picture, the premiere of the Columbia production " Married but Single,"
which had been granted an " A " certificate by the B.B.F.C. The renters were
told it must not be shown until the Council had seen it.
AIR-RAID PRECAUTIONS.
THE effectiveness of the air-raid precautions imposed upon the Industry
in common with all other business was fully proved during the months
of intensive bombing in 1940-1941. Several kinemas have succumbed to
enemy action ; but in a 'few isolated instances, principally in coastal areas,
casualties to patrons have been unexpectedly light. The early curfew
arrangements in operation at the time had much to do with this satisfactory
state of affairs, but even in cases, as at Sheffield, where theatres were badly
damaged, the A.R.P. and fire-training of the staff have proved invaluable
in clearing kinemas and preventing panic when the time came to exercise it.
The only new regulation during the year dealt with the fire-watch precautions
and the duties imposed upon staffs and management. Many of these have
proved onerous in operation owing to staff shortage or to the increasing
employment of women, who will not be accepted in some areas as efficient
substitutes for either the male fireman or fireguard. Other districts insist
upon the A.R.P. training of all personnel, which, in these days of constantlv
changing staffs, is difficult to arrange without detriment to the theatre service.
Very few additional structural precautions have been found necessary in
the light of experience other than the bricking up of window spaces, which
has been found more effective against blast than the strapping of glass and
pinning up of certain parts of the building. Mos,t managements have replaced
glass fittings in the interior of the building with one or other of the glass
substitutes which are handled by, among other firms, Walturdaw, H. Lagaras
and Son, Ltd., Rawlplug Co., and Leon Goodman.
Some interest was shown in the introduction by a Chester firm of a gas-
tight metal window. The basic principle is the use of a plastic sealing
material which foims a gas-tight seal when it is run along an extra wide
contact surface. The fitting of laminated glass and metal glazing heads
enables the windows to stand a certain amount of blast. Incidentally,
numerous air raids have demonstrated the great strength of the metal window.
Special designs of gas-proof and splinter-resisting doors have also been
marketed by this firm.
Interesting information concerning the effects of blast on kinema
equipment has been published. Practical instances show the immunity of
most kinema equipment from blast. At the Dominion, the blast was sufficient
to buckle the safety curtain, but had no effect on the speakers. In another
kinema two explosive incendiary bombs burst in the stalls, and no fewer than
10 H.E. bombs burst within a mile radius ; neither the H.F., the 16 in. L.F.,
nor the box cone speakers were in the slightest degree upset, although one
of the O /l 50 ma. meters in the amplifier panel showed a subsequent tendency
to stick. In a recording studio only two doors away, not one of the delicate
instruments was damaged.
WAR DAMAGE PROBLEMS.
THE situation arising from the application of the provisions of the War
Damage Act to the special circumstances of the Industry provided C.E. A.
branches with a fruitful subject of debate, particularly concerning the deter-
mination of contributions in respect of fixed property and apparatus held
190 The Kinematograph Year Book.
under hiring agreements. These problems of responsibility and contributory
payments called for very close examination by the legal department of the
C.E.A., a summary of whose conclusions appears on page . The question
of fixtures turned mainly upon the interpretation of the operative clause, but
the insurance of sound sets proved a vastly more complex matter — and
provoked very considerable discussion with Western Electric, without,
however, arriving at a solution satisfactory to the exhibitor. Suggestions
were made that concessions along these lines might form the subject of an
amendment of the Act which would permit of the payment of premiums to
cover the full reinstatement value of the set, and that the precedent followed
in regard to leases whereby the premium is apportioned as between lessor
and lessee of property should be followed in these cases. The appeal, however,
was ineffective, and it seems the exhibitors must make up their minds either
to accept the new agreement introduced by Western Electric or follow the
example of some of the circuits who have not insured their sets, but in this
latter case it must be remembered that the replacement of damaged or
destroyed sets is facilitated by the ability to draw upon equipment in other
circuit-houses that have been closed for one reason or another.
The operation of the Act resulted in the winding-up of various mutual
insurance societies which dealt with the coverage of consequential damage
following enemy action, and consequently a C.E.A. proposal to effect some
scheme whereby loss of profits could be made good in the event of closure
through enemy action could not be proceeded with.
The wisdom of those exhibitors who arranged for the proper valuation of
their property has been proved in many cases where claims for compensation
for damage done by enemy action have been greatly facilitated. One recom-
mendation is that exhibitors should take an inventory of the kinema and have
it checked by the insurance company.
Arising from the operation of the War Damage Act the subject of the
basis upon which kinemas are assessed has achieved certain prominence.
Inquiries revealed such amazing variations in the methods of arriving at
assessments that the opinion is vigorously expressed that the C.E.A. should
press for a national formula embodying a clear-cut method of arriving at
assessments. Instances of the difference in assessment cases have been cited.
For example, insurance authorities took into consideration the trade of the
kinema; another authority "took all relative factors into account." South-
port, with 5 per cent, of 45 per cent, of the maximum possible receipts ; a
tremendous number of rating authorities, it was found, took takings into
account. It is claimed that the basis should be on what the premises should
be let for on terms to be fixed between a willing landlord and a willing
tenant.
Not altogether unconnected with this subject was an interesting memo-
randum, prepared by A. A. Snape, well-known exhibitor and accountant,
of Manchester, dealing with the question of income tax claims for deferred
expenditure, examples of which included the following : — ■
Decoration : Normally every three years ; to-day's costs were so much
higher than when buildings were last decorated that corresponding provision
had to be made in the amount reserved. Seating : Renewals every seven years ;
if repairs are needed after a shorter period, reserve for them ; carpets, three
to five years, and runners, three years, according to usage. Draperies : Seven
years. Projection Box Equipment : If getting to the renewal stage should be
claimed for. Uniforms, etc. : Cleaning, making good, etc. Camouflaged
Exteriors : Restoring to original condition should be allowed for, and also,
possibly, even substitutes of black-out curtains with new ornamental material,
new fittings and damaged glass, through removal of electrical fittings to avoid
blast. Neon will probably need replacement and a reserve should be made. Mr.
Snape advised exhibitors to examine the books to remind them of variou
Film Exhibition and Kin&ma Technique 191
renewable items-— footlights, ash trays, vacuum cleaners, advertising boards,
etc. He pointed out that instructions had been given to inspectors of taxes to
allow reserves on repairs and renewals postponed as the result of the war, and
which otherwise would have been executed.
KINEMA REPAIR AND RENOVATION.
SOMETHING like three or four hundred new places of entertainment have
been built since the war started, but as each one of them is a camp institution,
their interest to the exhibitor, except as a possible competitor, is by no means
as great as that to the equipment supplier. Nevertheless, it is a pity that
the Official Secrets Act prevents a description being given of examples of
these all-purpose halls, because some of them boast characteristics in design,
building or equipment which might well be successfully adapted to the needs
of the commercial kinema. While many of these theatres are unpretentious
and conform strictly to the barest utilitarian needs, others have been so
ingeniously designed and so well equipped that they fully merit the description
of " pocket-supers " applied to them by a resentful exhibitor.
The erection of the commercial kinema has practically ceased. There
are only two records of activity in new buildings, and these are both in
Scotland. At Aberdeen, work was proceeding until the middle of the year
on the construction of a handsome granite-built house, but operations have
since been suspended on this and two other luxury theatres which were to
have been erected ; at Dundee, however, the completion is in sight of a new
theatre, which A. B.C. proposed to open early this year. There were very
few other semi-finished kinemas at the start of the war which were not
completed in the first year of hostilities. Some few weie in such an early
stage of construction that the stoppage of further work could cause no
deterioration of that which already had been done, and these will certainly
remain in this condition for the duration. But though there has been no
new building, a great amount of activity is recorded in the recommissioning
of theatres that have suffered from enemy action. Quite a few, of course,
have been irreparably damaged, and await entire rebuilding, others are no
longer suitable as picture theatres, and have been leased as store premises
for the period of the war. One reason for the latter decision has been the
impossibility in many cases of obtaining licences for the expenditure of the
maximum amount (reduced last year from £500 to £100) on repairs. This
has been the dominating problem of exhibitors in blitzed areas, who previously
found that £500 could only effect more or less makeshift and temporary
repairs. With the new proviso that no building maybe undertaken at a cost
exceeding £100, the matter would be almost insuperable were it not for the
fact that in the generality of cases applications for licences have received
sympathetic considera+ion of fhe authorities concerned. It has, however,
been explained that the limit mentioned by the Government that bomb
damage must not be repaired without a licence or that not more than £100
may be spent in one year was not intended to apply to repairs for the
purpose of making premises wind and watertight, but new materials must
not be used and that the work shall be repairs and not replacements — a door,
for instance, might be repaired, but not replaced. Obviously, the expenditure
of the earlier sum of £500, if accompanied by careful planning and keen
buying, was able to effect some quite satisfactory renovations, judging from
the descriptions of many of the kinemas which have been reopened during the
year. Many of the materials, such as used bricks, timber and the replace-
ments of equipment, have frequently represented salvage from other bombed
premises and theatres. These, with roof coverings of a very temporary
nature, may do sound duty until the time comes when proper rebuilding
is feasible. It is to be hoped that the exhibitor has availed himself of the
quiet period most areas have enjoyed this year of the opportunity to prepare
stocks of materials which mav come in useful were intensive bombing to
192 The Kinematograph Year Book.
recommence. At one time the suggestion was made in a C.E.A. branch that
a co-operative organisation should be established with this purpose, but
little more has been heard of the proposal. A little forethought of this nature
would very materially assist the exhibitor in making temporary repairs
where possible, and thus enable him to restore his theatre as early as possible
to its position as a centre of community entertainment. It is evident, how-
ever, that whatever preparations may be made renovation of a sufficiently
adequate character to enable a kinema to function is all that dare be attempted,
but little can be done if the local authority refuses a licence for the spending
of money over £100. Little can be done with such an amount, but, in view of
the importance attached by official circles to the kinema entertainment, the
exhibitor should lose no time in stating the circumstances to his local authority.
It is essential, however, that he should restrict his expenditure on renovation
consistent with the safety and comfort of his patrons. Probably a greater
measure of consideration will be given by a council to an application if loss
of rates to the municipality if the kinema is closed is emphasised by the
exhibitor, although instances have occurred where councils have been
obdurate in insisting upon the £100 limit.
One point to which the most serious consideration should be given is
the upkeep of kinema property. The difficulty of following this advice is
admitted in view of the serious restrictions on materials and labour ; but so
many exhibitors have neglected the most elementary essential repairs to
equipment and structure. Painting of exteriors and, where needed, of the
interiors, should not be delayed. The effects of weathering to roofs or
footings, and, where there has been enemy action, of bombing and blast,
should be critically examined with a view to carrying out any repairs that
may be found necessary.
There have been few developments in building and design in America,
whose concentration on war supplies and latterly active participation in
hostilities has also practically curtailed new construction and has placed a
rigid limit on expenditure. Some interesting conclusions- on the subject
of seat-staggering and floor slope are, however, contained in the S.M.P.E.
report on theatre design. Tt is pointed out that even when the seats are placed
in line behind one another, staggering exists on either side of the centre-line,
but not on the centre-line ; if the floor slope were to be increased to make
it possible to have unobstructed vision from the central seats, the slope
would be excessive and dangerous. It is proposed that where floor slopes
become too great or otherwise where the screen is placed too high, the central
section of seats be staggered. This would result in a total loss of seats
amounting to only about 1-J- per cent, of the total.
Interest also attaches to the lay-out of the American projection theatre
which possesses not a single flat wall surface, and no parallel surfaces what-
ever, with the exception of the wall of the projection chamber.
DECORATION.
A PERIOD of total war is not conducive to the exercise of any of the
Arts, and it was not to be expected that theatre decoration, a humble
branch of the older arts, would be able to survive war conditions unimpaired.
There can be no profit in endeavouring to review tendencies of theatre
decoration during 1942, for, although bombed theatres would have presented
numerous opportunities for the talents of architects in normal circumstances,
the most that has been demanded is the exercise of ingenuity rather than
artistry in making good enemy damage.
Last year there was a complete cessation of the building of new theatres
other than those connected with the services, whose establishments do not
generally lend themselves to elaborate decorative treatment any more than
did the renovation and repair of kinemas which had suffered as the result
of enemy action. The restriction to £100 of the amount to be spent in
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 193
reinstatement has necessarily hampered the carrying out of such work,
although it must be admitted that in most districts officials have been as
sympathetic as could have been expected towards exhibitors' proposals.
Nevertheless, the prime factor of rigid economy, to which was added the
Limitation of Supplies Order and the absence of skilled personnel, has
imposed such limitations upon the work that it has necessarily been reduced
to the lowest minimum. The results in a score or more kinemas have been
more satisfactory than would have been imagined, and are a testimony to
the good taste and happy improvisation of its originators. It may be that
one result of this economy of material will propagate a new era of decoration.
For, unable to reproduce the often out-moded ornamentation, so often a
feature of some of the older (and others not so old) buildings, designers have
been driven to rely upon plain plastic-sprayed wall surfaces, offset by the
most inconspicuous decorative detail. It provides a more restricted note
in kinema decoration which is a happy mean between flummery ornament
of the older school and the liamboyancy of the modernist. Strangely
enough, it seems that the presence of wide, unbroken surfaces do not adversely
affect the acoustic properties of the halls concerned.
Managements of not so seriously damaged theatres have made good
jobs of repairs carried out under the supervision of their own staff or by
hired labour. This was possible in many cases because the precaution was
taken of laying in stocks of the more essential materials to enable a rapid
repair to be satisfactorily undertaken. '
Experience has shown that the entertainment requirements of the people
will always be sympathetically regarded by the authorities, but the implement-
ing of this attitude does not go farther than making the building weather-
proof. Consequently, a great responsibility rests upon the exhibitor if he
desires to augment the amenities of his theatre. Shortages of material are
likely to increase, contractors even find it difficult to obtain certain colours
which are so popular in kinema work. Chromes are particularly short and,
of course, cellulose, to name but two which concern the decorator. It would
be well, therefore, to make what provision is possible and lay in stocks of
paints and what material is available against the day when renovation or
redecoration must be undertaken.
If the most satisfactory job is desired, it is more than ever necessary
these days to have the work done by specialists. Walturdaw's decoration
department, for instance, has been much in request, both in respect of Service
theatres and also in a number of kinemas, including many bombed premises,
which have been restored to something like their pristine freshness. The
extent of many of these contracts have been curtailed for the reasons stated ;
but, notwithstanding difficulties, old-established firms, such as Clark & Fenn,
Ltd., Campbell Bros., Roffe Decorations, have made special study of decorative
possibilities under war conditions, and may be relied upon to afford a relatively
satisfactory service to exhibitors. Some firms, as Modernisation, Ltd., and
6.-B. Equipments, have adopted the " all-in " contract method pioneered by
Kenneth Friese-Greene, whose firm (Modernisation, Ltd.) have carried out
country-wide contracts for renovation and repairs, and, in many cases, the
technical re-installation of blitzed premises. A number of "first-aid"
contracts have enabled kinemas to function again with the minimum
possible delay. Maple & Co., Ltd., are also ready co place their long
experience and unexcelled facilities at the service of exhibitors. Decorative
Crafts, Ltd. — Since the outbreak of war this firm, of which H. F. Mara is
managing director, has carried out a deal of kinema contracts, but, in
addition to these activities, has also handled numerous jobs for the
camouflaging and blacking-out of a great number of industrial plants and
other builldings, and, of course, kinemas. Fosters (Curtains), Ltd. —
Restrictions in staff and supply of materials have necessarily affected
the business of this Nottingham organisation, yet, in spite of
difficulties, Fred. A. Foster has continued to serve the industry and
to meet a great proportion of the demands of their many clients, particu-

larly in respect of redecoration, redraping and upholstering. A glance at the
list of contracts carried out during the year indicates the excellent service
provided to exhibitors, which includes the provision of festooned curtains,
s+age draperies and tracks, pelmets, flooring, and other essential requirements.
A large proportion of this firm's business has consisted in redecorating
interiors, including sprayed plaster decorations, which have been successfully
carried out notwithstanding shortage of several colours and other materials,
which has taxed the ingenuity of the contractor to overcome. Despite
being kept busy with Government work, Kalee's decoration department
have been able to help a number of their customers out of their troubles and
hope to be in a position to continue to do so, although under present
restrictions this will temporarily have to be on a much smaller scale.
FURNISHINGS AND SEATINGS.
IT is a remarkable fact that after 28 months of war, the furnishings of the
majority of our picture theatres, even those in garrison areas, show so few
visual signs of wear or deterioration. This is as much a tribute to the good
sense of the exhibitor who originally insisted upon quality fabrics and material as
it is to honest craftsmanship and efficient service of those firms who specialise
in this department of picture theatre equipment. It is hoped that the lesson
of the first two years of hostilities will not be lost upon proprietors and their
architects when peace permits more than temporary replacements to be made.
It may be, however, that the decision to refurnish will also have to be taken
during the war period, and in that case his choice is likely to be severely
restricted, although some of our biggest contractors still hold stocks of pre-
war quality which they are using while they last in the continuance of a
proved tradition of service. Nevertheless, limitations have resulted as the
result of various control Orders, and further shortages are visualised, if, indeed,
not actual rationing, so that it behoves every showman to give the most
careful consideration to the preservation of all furnishings. He will find his
decision not only beneficial economically, but also contributing, albeit in a
relatively lesser degree to the perpetuation of those amenities which have given
the kinema its predominance among public entertainment. Saving on the
furnishing and seating can only be effected at the expense of quality with the
consequence that renovation and replacement have to be considered at a much
earlier date than would have been necessary had not the original choice been
swayed by a perverted sense of economy. New furnishings should be pur-
chased with an expectation of the usual normal life of such equipment, and
not merely regarded as a temporary expedient not intended to outlast the
" duration." Consequently, if an exhibitor must buy, he should see that his
purchases combine the highest degree of quality consistent with the national
need for rigid economy.
Although most furnishing fabrics employed in kinemas in stage decora-
tion, film sets and upholstery may be obtained without the surrender of
coupons, the supply restrictions have proved one of the major difficulties of
furnishers, and there is little doubt that the situation will worsen. Sponge
rubber, formerly used in seating, is now being produced almost entirely for
war purposes ; springs and metal components of the standards subject to
official priorities are also dfficult to obtain. The situation as regards the
reconstructed theatres has been solved in part by the employment of
salvage equipment which has been fetching high prices, so great is the demand.
An instance of the value of good second-hand seating was provided early in
the year when a kinema badly damaged oy an air raid the Lazarus seating
was purchased as it stood at a price 20 per cent, above that of the original
installation and supply contract.
It is unfortunate for the exhibitor that the incidence of these restrictions
which makes replacement a matter of difficulty occurs at the same time that
the wear upon most theatre furnishings, principally upholstery and carpeting,
is generally far heavier than ever it was, or even than the most sanguine
exhibitor ever anticipated. This makes it incumbent upon managers to give
additional care to the cleaning and preservation of all drapery, upholstery
and floor coverings.
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 195
The problem of renewal is complicated by the shortage of new material,
and only where stocks are held or secondhand materials in tolerably good
condition are available, can the difficulty be met. The position in regard to
rubber flooring has become, of course, extremely critical. In the very near
future, replacements even of this material will be impossible and the exhibitor
will have to consider seriously the use of alternative ftoor covering. This will
be difficult, for the supply of even the most suitable substitute — linoleum — -
is restricted, and moreover it is to be doubted whether the present com-
mercial material is of sufficiently durable quality. It is suggested that
treatment of the floor base itself — -concrete or timber — might prove satis-
factory. There are preparations designed for direct application to concrete,
and these might serve the purpose in circulating spaces within the auditorium,
but unless the comfort of the patron can be safely ignored, the continued use
of carpet or its substitute between rows is advisable. Practically no modern
kinemas possess wooden flooring, but where this does exist, the exhibitor
might well follow the example of our chain-store establishments — apply a
preparation which is preservative, pleasant to the smell, and dustless.
No new forms of seating have been recorded, but American opinion
suggests a modification of the lighting unit in seat-row ends so as to permit
the lighting, not only of the aisle floor, but also of the entry of the row.
Another point which it is urged deserves attention in the design of standards
is the better accessibility of the light fitting for cleaning and lamp substitution.
A review of furnishing activities indicates how well manufacturers and
suppliers have succeeded in supplying new and maintaining existing kinema
furnishings. Among the firms who have surmounted the difficulties presented
by the situation is H. Lazarus & Son, Ltd., who report several' important
contracts for new tip-up chairs, re-upholstering and recovering installed
seating, and for the supply of soft furnishings. They have their capacity fully
extended preparing schemes and estimates for maintenance, utilising only the
minimum amount of labour and materials essential to keep theatres in a
state of good repair and comfort. By such limitation, they are enabled to
satisfy many more of their customers than if they were to undertake in-
discriminately the complete furnishing contracts that are continually being
offered them, as these not only absorb unnecessarily large quantities, but, in
addition, deprive others of their absolute necessities. It is appreciated, of
course, that some seating, carpets and draperies are beyond repair, and where
such is the case there is no alternative but to replace them with new, and this
firm has several such contracts in hand, apart from innumerable smaller ones for
renovations, etc., on the lines above-mentioned. Owing to shortage of labour,
however, these contracts are taking very much longer than would normally
be the case, and if any of our readers contemplate having work done it is
advisable for them to make their inquiries well before such work becomes
vital. Five important South African theatres were equipped during the year
with Beck & Windebank seating ; Iceland is another country to which this
old-established Birmingham seating firm has shipped its product which now
figures so largely in many of the most important kinemas at home and overseas.
A list of nearly 70 other theatres shows wide scope of their activities which
cover re-upholstering, floor-coverings, curtains, seating, proscenium draperies
and fittings. A considerable number of Government contracts have been
carried out by Walturdaw's, in addition to the furnishing and seating of
many kinemas. Their renovation department has been kept quite busy
during the year and they have been able to function to the satisfaction of a
host of customers. Curtains are a speciality of Foster's (Curtains), Ltd., who,
in spite of difficulties of supply and the loss of trained personnel, have con-
tinued to serve the industry. C. R. Harrison, the Lancashire seating firm, is
one of the many engaged on work of national importance, but nevertheless,
they have been able to ensure a continuance of the reputation for comfort
and reliability of such seating that their restricted circumstances will permit
them to accept. They welcome inquiries, but crave indulgence if they are

unable to guarantee their usual speedy deliveries. A similar quandary faces
F. D. Bowden, of Pathe Equipment, which continues to maintain a consistent
level, while the product of W. W. Turner & Sons which he handles continues
to achieve its normal high quality, despite National calls on their craftsmen's
facilities. A firm of national repute, Paterson's (Glasgow), Ltd., have been
busily engaged on new contracts and replacements in which the fact that they
have the good fortune to hold large stocks has been of inestimable benefit to
their customers. Kalee, Ltd., have been well occupied during the past 12
months in their curtain shop with many forms of Government, local govern-
ment, and A.R.P. work, but have at the same time been able to cope with
kinema requirements. So far as seating is concerned, restrictions make it
difficult for Kalee to give the same service as pre-war, but they are anxious
to be of every possible assistance to their customers and will be pleased to
hear of their requirements, with a view to seeing whether they can satisfy
them. Everything for the theatre is the slogan of G. B. Equipments, and by
clever organisation it is still applicable, particularly in the furnishing and
seating departments, which continues to serve satisfactorily the needs of
a wide circle of satisfied clients. A brisk business has been done during the
period by Theatre and Cinema Equipment, Ltd., whose service and workman-
ship have commended their product to a large number of customers, including
the Government. Trinity Chair Works, the old-established Yorkshire firm, is
the only one missing from this parade of furnishers, for the reason that the
whole of the output is earmarked for Government purposes, although plans
are in being for a rapid re-entry to the Trade as soon as circumstances permit.
New and secondhand seatings are available from George Palmer. Although
more popularly known for their metal projection screens, Stableford
All-Metal Screens, Ltd., have been unostentatiously busy in various forms
of furnishing. They have been responsible for the whole stage and
(other than lighting) of almost all the Garrison Theatres in the country, and
have a heavy programme of this still in hand. A similar blanket contract,
involving all scenery lines, curtains and gear, floor screens and frames, at
Royal Ordnance factory hostels throughout the country. C. R. Harrison &
Sons, Ltd. — War conditions have necessarily hampered the functioning of
C. R. Harrison & Sons, Ltd., theatre and kinema furnishers of Lancashire,
and they wish to extend their regrets to clients who may have to wait for
deliveries of their famous kinema seating;. The factory has now largely
turned its plant over to essential war work, which makes it impossible to
maintain pre-war production. All inquiries will, of course, be welcomed,
but the national effort must come first, and it is this work alone which
prevents giving definite dates for the delivery of tip-up chairs and seating.
Actual wear by the patron cannot be avoided, but its effect can be con-
siderably minimised by personal attention to the condition of all draperies
and upholstery. The first essential to this end is a good vacuum cleaning
plant — (incidentally, see that this is properly maintained, because it is
practically impossible to obtain a new installation owing to manufacturers,
such as Sturtevant Engineering, concentrating on the war effort. This plant
must be efficiently operated if the deterioration arising from fretting is to be
avoided. Other points to be regarded are the eradication of moth, the early
repair of worn patches in carpeting and other floor coverings. Special treat-
ment should also be given to soiled portions. Where possible, draperies should
be dry-cleaned, but possible delay in deliveries may suggest to exhibitors the
wisdom of having them washed — carefully with soap and water.
QUOTA LEGISLATION.
ALTHOUGH the Trade has been affected in some way or the other by the
various enactments of Parliament concerned with the war effort, the only
legislation specially applicable to the kinema industry was the reduction of
the exhibitors' and renters' quota to a figure more in consonance with the
I: i! ui- Exhibition and Kinema Technique 197
film position resulting from the exigencies of the war. It had long been obvious
that owing to a variety of causes — lack of studio space, shortage of personnel,
and other restrictive influences — that the production of British films in sufficient
quantity to satisfy the quota demands was an impossibility. The situation
was repeatedly ventilated by the C.E.A., but while it was obvious that con-
cessions eventually would have to be made, the Board of Trade temporised
with the suggestion that the British quota problem might be met by a reform
of Trade practices, and particularly its distributive arrangements, by the
loosing of bars and the general adoption of the 6-day-run policy. The proposals
were coldly received by a joint meeting of the C.E.A. and K.R.S., whose
action was, in effect, the return of the problem to the Government for solution.
The C.E.A. case was that the suggestion was no solution, and pointed out
that the real point at issue was that the Films Act of 1937 imposed an in-
creasing quota while production showed a serious decline, and urged that the
quota should be scrapped for the duration. A similar argument was advanced
by the K.R.S., but the Society admitted that the alteration of barring clauses
might result in an amelioration of the difficulties. The exhibitors' argument
appears to have been unanswerable, and the C.E.A. representations were
reinforced by the majority recommendations of the Films Council. The
ultimate result was that towards the end of the year the Government accepted
the proposed principle for the reduction of the quota, and in December,
Parliament agreed to an amendment of the provisions whereby British
quota requirements were stabilised for the next three years. The present
requirements are as follows : —
Renters' features, 20 per cent. ; shorts, 15 per cent. ; exhibitors' features,
15 per cent. ; shorts, 12i per cent.
Suggestions had previously been made that the age of British films to
rank for quota be increased, and the spokesman for the Board of Trade
agreed in principle to' this further amendment. Another proposal was that
short films should count against long films and that serials should be similarly
treated, but although the scheme received quite an amount of support from
certain C.E.A. branches no action was taken in this connection, although the
point was pressed as likely to afford an alternative solution to the quota
difficulties of the exhibitor.
The following figures are significant as indicating the ready response of
the exhibitor to the presentation of British films : —
In the second year of the war exhibitors showed more British films than
in the previous year ; 24 per cent, of British films of all classes were shown
in the 12 months ending September 30, 1940 — a percentage which has only
been exceeded in 1936 (27.4), and 1937 (29.9). It was pointed out, however,
by the C.E.A. that this does not mean that the quota situation had been
materially eased, and the current production difficulties had caused such a
diminution of available British films that it was unlikely that the current
17i per cent, quota will be able to be fulfilled by the majority of showmen.
Other matters such as the deferment of personnel, closing hours, etc.,
although they involved considerable discussion between the C.E.A. and the
Ministries concerned, were matters of interpretation, and did not involve
special legislative action.
INCENDIARY BOMB PRECAUTIONS.
IN common with the rest of the community, the Trade was called upon in
the early months of the year to intensify its precautions against fires
caused by incendiary bombs. The lesson was vigorously forced home by
F. B. Blake at the annual general meeting of the C.E.A., whose remarks were
supplemented by delegates whose branches were even then examining the
effects of extensive raiding.
The lessons to be derived from these and similar incidents were examined
by George Coles, F.R.I.B.A., among whose chief points were : the need to
examine daily high-level storage tanks which must be kept filled while the
mains supply was still available. They should be regarded as a reserve
198 The Kinematograph Year Book.
supply, and the number of fire buckets should not be reduced for this reason.
Easy accessibility of the roof void and fiat roofs was essential, and these
parts and other parts of the theatre should be supplied with sand and fire-
fighting appliances ; having the appliances, the trained man power should be
available and, moreover, should be protected with suitable personal equipment.
A memorandum on the use of chemical fire extinguishers in putting out
incendiary bombs was issued (April) by the Fire Extinguisher Trades' Associa-
tion. This stated that official tests had proved the soda-acid type and the
water and compressed carbon-dioxide type of extinguisher (such for example,
as those manufactured by Pyrene, Ltd.), were highly effective on both incen-
diary bombs and fires caused by them. An outstanding advantage of these
hand extinguishers is that they can be operated single-handed. The decision
applies only to the types of extinguishers mentioned, and, moreover, the
operative distance of approximately 30 ft. enables the user to keep well
outside the officially suggested zone of 10 ft. or 12 ft. Dual (jet and spray)
nozzles as used on stirrup pumps are supplied by the manufacturers for
extinguishers already installed.
Another memorandum was issued in May by the Institution of Electrical
Engineers' Advisory Committee to the Ministry of Home Security dealing
with fire detection devices with special.reference to the detection of incendiary
bombs. The report describes a number of methods of warning which should
be of interest to exhibitors, including the use of light detectors (photo-cells),
heat and smoke detectors and radio-active cells. Incendiary bomb detection
is the subject of two specifications issued by the British Standards Institution,
B.S./A.R.P. 53 — the heat-sensitive type— and B.S. /A.R.P. 55, "Detectors
of Incendiary Bombs by Electrical Circuits Ruptured by Impact."
A new means of dealing with the fire-bomb menace is announced by
Phelps Beddard, Ltd., who have introduced a fluid, " Incendex," two pints of
which, it is claimed, will extinguish within 20 seconds, a fire bomb. The fluid
is applied by means of a stirrup pump, set at the jet-stage of expulsion, and
is said to be speedy, safe and certain in its operation. It has been widely
adopted by property owners and its utility as kinema equipment is obvious.
The quandary in which exhibitors are placed owing to shortage of fire-
trained personnel was illustrated by an incident at Liverpool where, owing to
the sudden illness of two staff firemen, matinees had to be abandoned for
eight days. The need for the allocation of temporary aid by the N.F.S. in
such circumstances is obvious. Many authorities have visualised a problem
arising from the employment of all- women staffs and have insisted in such
instances upon a capable male [fireman being in attendance. Incidentally,
there is frequent refusal to permit the manager to undertake this duty.
FILM STOCK SHORTAGE AND PRINT CONDITIONS.
THE position arising from the huge increase in the use of film stock, coupled
with shortage of supplies— intensified since the entry of Japan into the
war — has given rise to the gravest concern in Government and Trade circles.
In an attempt to economise film stock, discussion took place at the instance
of the Board of Trade between the C.E.A. and K.R.S. Suggestions, including
readjustment of release dates, thereby reducing the number of prints, the
reduction of programme footage to a maximum of 11,000 ft., the elimination
of trailers, and censor certificates and the shortening of credit titles, each of
which presented some point of difficulty, and the discussion failed to achieve
a practical solution. A similar negative result attended a proposal that the
number of copies of M. of I. propaganda shorts should be curtailed, the
general exhibitor attitude being that what was needed were not fewer but more
copies of all films, owing to the more rapid deterioration of prints arising from
circumstances connected with the war. A practical contribution towards a
solution was adopted in November, by the renters who voluntarily offered
to reduce their consumption of film stock by 400,000 ft. each during the
November 30-day period. This decision, it was hoped, would effect a saving
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 199
of at least 20 per cent, without disturbing the business operations of exhibitors,
It turned out, however, that notwithstanding this measure of self-abnegation
on the part of the renters, some 3,000,000 more feet were consumed in
December than in the previous month. It was felt at the K.R.S. meeting at
which this revelation was made by E. E. Blake, managing director of Kodak,
that if the Government demands were responsible for the increase, the efforts
of renters to economise were being nullified. This instance should serve as a
warning to the Trade that with the ever-increasing demands of the Service
film departments, and also of propaganda production, that further economies
in the Trade use of stock are. likely to be called for early. It is believed in
some quarters that the proposal to limit the length of programmes will again
be brought forward ; and in this connection it is significant that in America
the suggestion is made that the most practical method of dealing with shortage
of film stock, production personnel and facilities would be to make the single-
feature programme compulsory.
This problem of film stock economy is closely related to that of print
condition which has been causing great anxiety to exhibitors who fear, not
without reason, that a reduction in the number of film copies will still further
increase the number of bad prints. Even in normal peace time operation,
there occur many complaints of the condition in which film prints are received
for screening, so it is unlikely that any improvement in the handling of prints
can be expected during the war, when so many semi-skilled and often inex-
perienced operators are functioning under circumstances of great difficulty.
As much, if not a greater degree of responsibility for the prevalence of bad
copies rests with the renters, many members of whose staffs engaged upon
examination and repair work fall below the usual standard of competence and
experience needed for this task ; consequently, copies are not despatched in
good condition. It has been urged that more interest should be taken, and a
greater degree of supervision exercised in the exchanges.
Even the most stringent supervision both by the renter and the exhibitor
is unlikely to prove more than a palliative under present conditions, and the
situation would become inevitably worsened were the life of the print extended
to any extent. It appears, therefore, that if the further economies in the use
of film stock take place as they are likely to, that second and subsequent-
run kinemas will be unfortunately placed, so far as the quality of their presen-
tations are concerned ; in that event, the capture of a first-run will posses?
a double significance. Attempts to alleviate the situation by the treatmen
of the film prints have been made with considerable success and there is an
increasing demand for the various laboratory processes designed for the
preservation of the lense and hardening the emulsion. At least one firm of
renters is now applying this treatment to all its film prints. It is to be hoped
that the Trade which has been placed in a favoured position by reason of the
national importance of its commodity, will acknowledge as one of its responsi-
bilities to the economy of the war effort by doing its utmost to aid in the
conservation of film prints.
FILMS FOR THE FORCES.
WHEN the story comes to be told of the manner in which the film has
served the Forces both with entertainment and instructional films it
will provide fascinating reading. The Navy Film Corporation has seen to it
that every ship which has the necessary accommodation is provided with
equipment and an up-to-date supply of films. Similar work has been under-
taken for the Army and Air Force, principally by N. A. A. F.I. In one week
alone this organisation recorded 88,811 attendances, and the mileage covered
by mobile units was 21,330. There are also 33 static kinemas in garrison
towns ; all these are in addition to the garrison-controlled kinemas, the
majority of which rent their programmes through N.A.A.F.I. In addition,
there are other official units, such as those controlled by the Ministry of
Information and other official bodies. Private firms also specialise in this
mobile provision of entertainment.

KINEMA ILLUMINATION.
ILLUMINATION, whether it be of the exterior of the kinema or of the
auditorium, is of little more than academic interest to the exhibitor,
but it is evident that research workers are fully alive to the post-war require-
ments of the entertainment industry, which, incidentally, will undoubtedly
benefit from the peace-time application of war invention. There is bound
to be an extension in the use of hew and interesting applications of light
which will find ready adoption in places of entertainment. Meanwhile the
exhibitor is marking time and is largely content to carry on, so far as the
regulations and enforced economies permit, with his existing installation.
The cutting out of all fagade illumination has resulted in the tying up of no
considerable amount of capital. In the case of box signs many managements
have treated the installation with preservative after removing the lamps,
which have found useful employment elsewhere in the theatre, but for the
past two years or so the majority of exhibitors have continued to honour
their neon installation contracts. The subject has been discussed by most
of the branches who, ultimately, were advised by the C.E.A. Solicitor not to
renew their contracts and to have the signs taken down unless the contractors
would agree that they should only be paid for so long as they were used and
illuminated.
Although the use of luminescent and fluorescent lighting devices has
not, for one reason or another, extended so widely as was anticipated when
the first black-out arrangements were considered by exhibitors, it is possible
that the current year may witness an extension of the use of this principle of
illumination. Many well-known undertakings, such as the London Trans-
port Board, have been experimenting, and a recent decision of the latter
organisation to use " dark light " for the illumination of station and various
directional signs, will probably cause exhibitors to reconsider its use to their
own specific requirements.
Police restrictions, of course, have cut out practically all exterior light'
consequently reliance has to be placed upon devices capable of producing the
necessary amount of illumination within while being effectively screened trom
escape into the street. This is effected in the first instance by the installation
of light-traps of various kinds, and while it is obvious that these must be
retained, it facilitates access if the light-trap itself is illuminated from a
luminescent source which does not " spill " into the street. In some districts
this method is permitted for calling attention to the existence of a kinema,
but elsewhere the stringency of the regulations prevents even the adoption
but the purpose of equipment which theoretically conforms to the standard
specification laid down for the maximum light emission. Where, however,
permission is forthcoming, the exhibitor has the choice of several luminescent
devices, most of which are basically similar in that they require no actual
light source beyond that provided by daylight.
Even where an effective light-trap is employed it is frequently necessary
to dim-down the vestibule lighting, and in such cases the outlining of the box-
office and various displays by fluorescent material which responds to " black
light " (a discharge lamp of near ultra-violet range) will be found convenient.
In America and in a few isolated instances in this country this consideration
has been artistically as well as usefully employed in the production of display
and decorative designs both in the vestibule and in the auditorium. Attention
has also been drawn to the possibilities of weaving fluorescent threads into
carpets and drapes employed in houses of entertainment. Examples reported
from America and South Africa are stated to have proved extraordinarily
effective both from the decorative and utilitarian viewpoint.
A warning to users of fluorescent devices is that the " black light "
source should be carefully masked and placed because it has been found that
some people's eyes respond to the beam and induce a " haziness " of vision
which persists until the light is right behind them.
Film Exhibition and Kincma Technique 201
Theatre practice in America is distinctly away from red as a colour in
lighting the auditorium. Custom is now definitely turning towards the
employment of green as the main colour, particularly in respect to exit and
directional signs. The reason for this is that green is easier on the eyes and
is more legible, particularly in case of notices which are at the screen end.
Xeutral colouration of autitorium lighting is advocated, for it is pointed out
that with the development of colour film adjacent lamps of a vigorous colour
would tend to rob the picture on the screen of its quality of colour. This
fact should be remembered by the projectionist when flooding the screen
preparatory to screening a Technicolor film : to finish on a neutral colour
allows the richer tints to assert their true value.
Balancing of colour in coated luminescent discharge lamps has always
been a problem for architects owing to the primary radiation emitted by the
discharge itself tending to predominate over the secondary radiation from the
luminescent material. Siemen's Electric seek to overcome this by a recently
patented process by which the far greater part of the primary radiation is
placed in the ultra-violet. The luminescent material is then altered to ensure
an approximately equal balance.
G.E.C. — This company produces a range of powders and a technique
of application which offer a complete range of materials that can be used
for decorative or A.R.P. purposes and will withstand the weather when
exposed out of doors. Their luminescent powders are excited by long-
wave ultra-violet radiation from Osira and Osglim lamps. For kinemas,
luminescent lighting of entrance foyers can be so devised that there is no
need for light locks, and the company has devised programme boards that
may be placed so that they are visible from the street without infringing
police regulations. It can also be employed in fluorescent posters where
these can be exhibited in safety. Publicity, however, is not the sole applica-
tion of this material ; it can be employed in several fascinating ways as a
decorative medium, and also — -a more utilitarian use — -by coating phone
dials, switches, etc., so that they may be visible should a current failure
plunge the house in darkness. Continued research is being conducted into
this form of illumination which will probably prove of outstanding interest
to the exhibitor when normal times return. Meanwhile, those who are
concerned with the war-time possibilities of fluorescence should contact the
G.E.C. for data and demonstration. Although a fascinating subject,
fluorescence illumination is probably the smallest part of the G.E.C. contribu-
tion to the exhibitor's requirements. Many replacements of installations of
auditorium and general lighting have been effected and hundreds of Service
establishments have also been equipped.
F. H. Pride, Ltd. — -A full share of the current kinema business has gone
to this firm, whose reputation for design and craftsmanship has survived the
difficulties created by shortage of materials and skilled workmen. Many
important repair and replacement contracts have been canied out in addition
to seveial Government contracts.
Notwithstanding the war, considerable progress has been made by
W. J. Furse & Co., Ltd., in their recently established colour lighting depart-
ment, which amplifies their already well-tried service to exhibitors which
hitherto covered every aspect of electrical and lighting equipment of the
kinema. Although they have been busy wi*h Service theatres, the substitution
of the needs of the kinema industry is always in the forefront of their sales
policy. Walturdaws have met the many and varied demands of the Trade
and the Services, and in spite of obvious difficulties with which they have to
contend, G.B. Equipments, Falk Stadelmann, Ltd., Pathe Equipment have
also been busy and have successfully retained the distinctive quality of their
product. Robert Digby, Ltd., R. R. Beard, Ltd., and Strand Electric, recognised
leaders in all matters which concern illumination, are other firms whose
service, though subordinated to national requirements, is being continued
to the Industry.

TICKET ISSUING EQUIPMENT.
THE increased patronage of kinemas, coupled with the black-out and other
circumstances arising out of the war, emphasises to a greater degree
than ever the need of installing an efficient and fool-proof ticket-issuing
equipment. It is of even greater importance nowadays when it so often
happens that comparatively inexperienced girls have to undertake this impor-
tant job. Much of the anxiety arising from this department of the theatre is
dispelled where an Automaticket or an accurate check equipment is installed.
Automaticket, Ltd.— The newest addition to the Automaticket equip-
ment for revenue collection and control is a Transfer System which provides
a complete check on all transfers to higher-priced seats effected during the
course of a performance. This is frequently one of the main sources of leak-
age, which can now be completely overcome by the installation of a machine
no larger than a book, and so light that it can be carried by the attendant.
Enquiries are invited, and demonstrations can be arranged at 197, Wardour
Street, London, W.l.
Protection, speed and accuracy are provided by the installation of the
Super " Simplex " Ticket Register. It is noiseless, and one, two or three
tickets can be issued simultaneously by the depression of a single feather-
weight key. The magazines, which hold 4,000 tickets, can be loaded without
the slightest difficulty, and a safety lock prevents operation when the supply
is exhausted so there can be no possibility of collusion or re-sale. Everything
is under lock and key so that the sole responsibility rests with one person.
The Model " H " hand-operated Ticket Issuing Machine is extremely
fast in operation, and being of unit construction, it expands to meet your
growing demands. It provides an infallible double check on receipts, and
when it is locked it cannot be used by any unauthorised person.
-Another innovation is the " New- Style Two-Print" Ticket System,
which provides complete paybox control at no additional cost. Write for
full particulars..
Finally, when speed of issue is not a primary feature, the Model " C "
ticket cabinet and issuer is a useful adjunct in the box office. Usually kept
for the storage of half-price tickets and transfers, it is fitted with inaccessible,
irreversible, untamperable mechanical recorders.
It may interest the firm's many friends to know that the Ticket Issuing
Machines they had the foresight to accept some twenty years ago have now
become practically standard equipment in canteens run by Government
factories and commercial concerns.
Accurate Check, Ltd. — There can be no doubt about the continued and
ever-growing popularity of the " Accurate " Silent-Electric Ticket Issuing
and Recording machine, which is still available in limited quantities despite
the difficulties of war-time production. Its rapid ticket delivery — from one
to three can be issued simultaneously by pressing a button — its ease of
operation, the simplicity with which tickets can be renewed, its individual
unit construction, and, above all, the absolute and trouble-free revenue
protection which it provides, make it an invaluable asset in both large and
medium-sized cinemas. The fact that every ticket sold is automatically
registered, giving an accurate and unalterable record of all sales, ensures
positive audit at all times, while the two Yale type locks, one for the mechan-
ism and the other for the magazines, keeps it under the absolute control of the
manager. It is available in five sizes to issue from two up to six different
priced tickets.
For the smaller exhibitor there is the " A.H." hand-operated ticket
issuer. This, too, is of unit construction, so that if at any time one is out of
action the others remain unaffected, and both time and labour are saved by the
separately cut tickets which facilitate correct and quick tearing by attendants.
Its black mottled case with bright top-plate makes it a handsome addition
to any paybox.

GENERAL EQUIPMENT.
Dressing the Staff. — An essential complement to the decor of a kinema
is the appearance of the staff. Hitherto, the kit of the attendant — a well-
tailored uniform and a distinctive frock — were decorative and attractive
factors in the appeal of a particular kinema. There was no let-up
in the standard during the early war period, but the coming of clothes
rationing presents such difficulties that new uniforms are likely to prove the
exception rather than the rule while the war lasts. The great snag, of course,
is the requirement of the surrender by the employee of coupons for his clothing
— 21 coupons for a man and 11 for a girl. An application for concessions
made by the C.E.A. to the Board of Trade on the grounds that the uniform
worn by kinema attendants was essential in war-time was unsuccessful.
Among the alternatives put up by exhibitors was the adoption of the boiler-
suit, which is unrationed, or the wearing of a cap and armlet. The former,
though apparently suited to the present time, has not found favour with
exhibitors, while the drawback of the latter is that cap and armlet are in-
sufficiently conspicuous in cases where attendants are required to act in an
emergency. Another proposal was that a theatre or district pool of coupons
should be organised, but this was not found to be practicable. Consequently
the care and renovation of uniform clothing have assumed a measure of con-
siderable importance. It is obvious that the greatest care must be taken of
those in use. They should be regularly cleaned and repaired, and the use of
overalls is suggested wherever a dirty job is undertaken.
Where it is possible by arrangement with the staff to buy new uniforms,
greater care than ever must be taken in selecting a quality cloth. Alfred
Harold (Uniforms), Ltd., emphasise the " uniform " value of their cloth,
but recognising that kinema clothing cannot be supplied in anything like the
quantity required before the war, has set up an extensive repairing depart-
ment which, dealing only with clothing supplied by the firm, carry out
repairs with exactly matching materials while cleaning orders are executed
with the minimum of delay. The Harold service, adapted to the peculiar
conditions of the day, is succeeding in retaining the good will of its numerous
clientele of more prosperous and peaceful days. Similar facilities are offered
the trade by other specialists in uniform clothing, such as James Beever & Co.,
Ltd., Uniform Clothing and Equipment Co., Ltd., who, though mainly on
Government contracts, are still able to execute theatre orders with reasonable
speed, and Charles Baker & Co., Ltd., by whose efforts the quality appearance
of the kinema staff is being satisfactorily maintained.
Ventilation. — In spite of, or more probably because of, the war, local
authorities have been paying attention to the ventilation equipment of the
theatres. The increase in patronage which has taken place in most districts
has showed up the deficiencies of ventilation plant which were not designed to
cope with S.R.O. attendances — black-out — and authority cannot be blamed
for endeavouring to remedy this defect. It is, however, one of those matters
which cannot be efficiently undertaken until after the war, and exhibitors
faced with this pressure have, perforce, to im provise in their efforts to meet
the situation. It is difficult to recommend any course open to the exhibitor
who is • dissatisfied with the ventilation of his theatre because inquiries of
firms specialising in this kind of work indicate that they are almost wholly
engaged on Government contracts. At the same time, the need for proprietors
to see that their air-conditioning is as efficient as possible is all the more
important in these days when kinemas are crowded — the large proportion
of their patrons frequently are working and sleeping under conditions which
deprive them of the normal amount of fresh air necessary for health. Every
window, louvre, and door should be opened, directly it is light, to permit the free

circulation of air. Early steps should be taken to arrange for an annual over-
haul of all equipment, although this may be difficult owing to the shortage of
engineers available for this class of work. Apart from such specialised treat-
ment as may be possible, the ordinary and periodic cleaning of the theatre
will do much to retain a wholesome atmospheric condition. Some alleviation
of conditions may be obtained by the use of portable air-conditioning boxes
of the type of the " Etna Ozone," or the "Scentinal" which will aid in the
purification of the atmosphere. Germicidal effects are also claimed for the
pleasant-smelling spraying fluids, such as " Talfacto " and those marketed
by New Hygiene, Ltd. Research and experimental work relating to ventila-
tion problems has been carried out by the Lamson Engineering Co., Ltd.,
who have particularly concentrated on circumstances arising from the black-
out and general war conditions. Lipton's Chemical Co., Ltd., who market
sprayers and a variety of germicides.
Deaf Aids. — Although the majority of the kinemas of this country are
equipped with deaf-aid sets, there seems to be no interest shown by the
average manager in an equipment which should be one of the most valuable
factors in the kinema service. The number of deaf, or near deaf, persons in
this country is enormous, and yet very little attempt is made to acquaint this
huge potential patronage of the fact that their particular infirmity is
adequately catered for. The excuse might be proffered that most deaf
persons are so sensitive of their affliction that they would resent any procedure
which conceivably might particularise them, but it is not a convincing one.
Exhibitors should realise that the kinema is practically the only aural enter-
tainment in which a deaf person can participate, and he should publicise the
possession of any facilities with which his theatre is equipped. It is time, too,
that the procedure for obtaining a hearing aid is simplified. Too often does a
patron approach an usherette with a request for the equipment only to find
that he or she has started something with which it takes the whole of the
attendants on the floor to deal, and in nine cases out of ten, it necessitates
one or two experimental plugs-in before it functions. Moreover, too few seats
in the average kinema are installed and they are by no means in the best
viewing positions ; quite a few managements also appear to work on the
supposition that only the circle patrons can afford to be deaf. Exhibitors will
find it good business to tackle this subject seriously, and if they are unable to do
so to accept the advice of a firm of specialists such as " Ardente," whose
installations in kinemas exceed 1,500. Place the plaque which is supplied by
this firm prominently near the pay-box and at least once a day make a practice
of showing the trailer which the firm supplies. First-rate equipment for the
deaf is also available from those firms which specialise in sound equipment,
but whether "Ardente," R.C.A., Western Electric, B.T.H., G.B., or any
other make is installed, the exhibitor should publicise the fact.
The Nuvoice Co.— The company have been specialising since 1938 in
sound equipment of all kinds, and aie in a position to carry out a really well-
planned scheme of sound distribution for stage, tour, etc. Equipment in the
cafe or lounge is also installed in many cases and also call systems from the
executives to the staff and audiences are another well-studied branch of the
company's activities. A staff of acoustic consultants is available for all
sound problems.
Fire Prevention. — It would have been imagined that the non-inflammable
construction of the modern kinema, combined with the war time equipment
and precautions, would have been practically immune from general fire risks.
A glance through the files of the Kinematograph Weekly shows this is
not the case, although certainly there have been fewer outbreaks than is
usually the case. The most complete piotection possible from the mechanical
viewpoint is afforded by Pyrene fire appliances, one type or another of which
covers all kinema fire risks. For general use there are " Conquest " soda-acid
extinguishers (now fitted with dual-purpose nozzle), Pyrene "Everyway"
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 207
hose reels, and hose and hydrant installations. Fires in electrical plant can
be quickly extinguished with Pyrene extinguishers without risk of shock,
as this special liquid is non-conductive. Then, of course, there is the well-
known Pyrene automatic extinguisher, which is installed on so many pro-
jectors and comes instantly and automatically into operation, cutting off
the arc and stopping the motors, thus immediately limiting to the minimum
the area of the fire.
Acoustics. — One of the factors that make for good acoustics in the theatre
is the insulation against the transmission into the auditorium of outside
noise, both air-borne and structural. Transmission of such noises as vibrating
machinery can be minimised by using double-wall and floor construction in
addition to the insulation of the machinery. In the projection box, inside
walls and ceiling should be covered with fireproof insulating material, and
the air-conditioning system should be operated at a low-noise level by employ-
ing a large volume, slow-velocity system with acoustic baffles. Other means
to effect noise reduction are heavily upholstered seats, Ozite-lined carpet,
and the treatment of auditorium walls with sound-insulating material.
The best method of preventing the intrusion of unwanted noise is the
introduction of an insulation treatment such as that sponsored by W. Christie
& Grey, Ltd., who by means of cork or spring anti-vibrators have successfully
isolated noise and vibration from engine plants and other moving machinery.
The system has been successfully applied in several theatres where the
introduction of the scientific methods of this firm has proved very effective.
SUB-STANDARD PRESENTATION.
ONE of the most important developments of the Avar period un-
doubtedly will prove to be the substantial advance recorded in the
sub-standard field. The improved technical quality of the equipment and
its extreme mobility recommend its use in situations where the employ-
ment of 35 mm. is not practicable, and it is consequently no surprise
that all the Services and other Departments depend, to a very considerable
extent, on the facilities afforded, principally by the 16 mm. presentations.
The widespread coverage demanded of sub-standard has necessitated,
the formation of training classes for operators, chiefly women members
of the Forces concerned. Not only are sub-standard portable units the
chief source of entertainment of the many small communities of the
Services scattered up and down the country, but it is also a recognised
medium for the presentation of training and propaganda subjects. In one
week alone, N. A. A. F.I. presented no fewer than 281 sub-standard enter-
tainments. Science and education also provide a wide field for the sub-
standard activities, which has by no means been neglected, although the
temporary suspension of production of modern subjects militates against
its wider application in this respect. At the same time, there still exists in
the various film libraries a wide and comprehensive selection of titles, of
which good use is being made. It is, however, a fact that for instructional
purposes, sound or silent 16 mm. films are used almost exclusively. A not
inconsiderable business is also being built up in some of the remoter districts
in sub-standard commercial shows,' for which some fairly recent releases,
reduced from 35 mm., appear to be available to the concern of the already
established kinema owner in adjoining districts. Indeed, instances have been
quoted of releases being presented on 16 mm. actually in advance of the
kinema booking !
This brief survey indicates the widespread use of sub-standard, and it
seems that its war time operations will only be limited by the lack of acetate
base, of which there is an alarming shortage. Incidentally, this growing
popularity of the 16 mm. film has again drawn attention to the point made
in these pages a few years ago — -that the freedom from censorship of sub-
standard films opens the way to abuse. In Parliament, early last year, the
208 The Kinematograph Year Books
charge was made that 16 mm. films were being used for anti-war propaganda,
and although the allegation was refuted by the Government, it was not
without significance.
Recognition of the importance of this phase of kinematography has
naturally been accompanied by sustained research with a view to bettering
both equipment and its performance. In this direction considerable progress
has been m.ade on both sides of the Atlantic, particularly as regards the
evolution of a sturdier mechanism, clarity of sound and efficient light source.
Reduction of 35 mm. and processing have also been given attention, and
special laboratory departments and enlarged facilities have had to be provided
to cope with the demands made.
The chief weakness of the sub-standard presentation is average poor
quality of the sound reproduction, which is very much inferior to that of the
standard film. While it must be admitted that at its best 16 mm. is in-
distinguishable in reproduction quality from standard film, it does appear
difficult to sustain this high quality. This point was discussed at length in
the Ideal Kine, by R. Howard Cricks, who considers the chief fault in
a 16 mm. quality is the film base, which, being non-flammable, is much less
flexible than 35 mm. Emulsion grain hitherto has been too coarse, but
the new examples are being produced with exceedingly fine grain, which
will considerably improve the ground noise and the departure of the higher
frequencies. Another disadvantage is the width of the sound track, which is
roughly two-thirds that of standard film, or one-quarter of the track area ;
consequently, ground noise is likely to be four times as prominent. A more
massive flywheel of the sound head and adequate smoothing means are also
necessary. Indeed, the idea of the 16 mm. machine being essentially a
portable should be dispensed with, and designers must produce a projector
embodying the same features as a 35 mm. kinema projector and of similarly
robust design. The growing familiarity of the public with the sub-standard
type of entertainment and, to a lesser degree, the increase in mechanism
consciousness among men and women, are factors which doubtless will lead
to a huge post-war development of 16 mm. kinematography directed not
solely along educational and scientific channels, but also as an alternative
to the 35 mm. presentation. In America There was talk of producing subjects
directly on 16 mm., but the obvious wastefulness of this procedure is not
likely to commend it unless the full-size producer wakes up to the danger of
competition and makes prohibitive conditions for reduction.
Among the more important requirements of the sub-standard projector
is that of a greater intensity of illumination. Although the possibility of
adapting arc illumination to existing sub-standard projections has been
canvassed, there are so many mechanical, optical and electrical difficulties
to be overcome that the only effective method of securing increased screen
illumination is by the use of the discharge lamp, such as the B.T.H. box-
type air-cooled compact-source lamp. The 250-watt lamp is three or four
times as bright, as the most efficient filament lamp. G.E.C. have also been
experimenting. As an alternative to the 250-watt compact source lamp,
which, though originally designed for small sub-standard projectors, presented
considerable difficulties as regards their practical application, G.E.C. are
concentrating what little effort they can spare during war time towards the
development of a mercury discharge la*mp. It is anticipated that within a
couple of years after the war this type of lamp will be widely used.
The first demonstration of the Gebescope 16-mm. projector was made in
May before the B.K.S. It accommodates 1,500 ft. of film on one spool.
The amplifier had an output of 8 watts undistorted. The illuminant was a
500-watt projector lamp. It is simple to lace up, having only two sprockets
and a simple form of curved gate. A trip lever under the gate automatically
switches off the motor should a film break cause loss of the loop. The machine
can be run at either sound or silent speed, and on either A.C. or D.C. supplies
from 200 v. to 250 v. During the year the Australian distributors started to
manufacture under licence a duplicate of the British Gebescope.

SHOWMANSHIP.
AS the war progresses it becomes more and more difficult for the exhibitor
to indulge in those forms of attracting the public which have contributed
so greatly to the popularity of the kinema. Up to the end of 1941 the re-
strictions, while they prevented big poster displays and limited throwaways
and programmes, did at least leave the exhibitor with a minimum of material
upon which he might exercise his ingenuity, and flair for publicity. Then the
tightening-up of the regulations concerning the use of paper gradually-
whittled away even those limited opportunities until the final blow which
absolutely cut out all photographic stills for display purposes. This followed
on a previous Order — Control of Paper (ISfo. 36), which imposed further re-
strictions upon the size and number of posters, of which no more than ten
may be exhibited in connection with any one programme, the prohibition
of circulars, throwaways, etc., and the limitation of the size of show display
cards. Programmes were limited to 80 sq. inches, i.e., one quarto sheet.
Attempts were made to mitigate the rigorous nature of the restrictions, but
although some concessions were granted to the live stage, nothing was done
for the kinema. The prohibition of stills (Cinematograph Film Industry
Order, 1942) which comes into force on March 1 was introduced to conserve
supplies of sensitised photograph materials of which there is a great shortage,
and applies to all premises, including both kinemas and kinema showrooms,
but does not prevent projection on a screen or the use of stills iti business
negotiations. The Order is to ba rigidly enforced except where a licence is
obtained for exhibition of stills made before the publication of the Order
(January 28). After March 1 all stills must bear the renter's endorsement to
this effect. Meanwhile renters are considering the adoption of a process which
does not involve use of photographic material.
Showmanship under these conditions is not likely to flourish, but already
there is ample evidence that the ingenious exhibitor is able to rise above
his misfortunes. Bereft of poster facilities even on a limited scale and now
prevented from using stills, he must attract by other means. The practice of
using illustrations from the Trade papers seems almost the only avenue
whereby pictorial display can be used — unless there is a gifted member of the
staff who can turn his hand to a wash drawing, which, of course, would have to
be executed upon a washable medium, such as oilcloth. One exhibitor has
already installed a 48 sheet of this material on his canopy and stencil sets
on permanent backgrounds have been used in foyer displays. The shortage
of materials has led to the resuscitation of old cut-outs and other advertising
material for refashioning to meet present-day publicity requirements.
Previously they have been used in conjunction with renters' posters, but
now that supplies of these latter have been withdrawn a considerable amount
of local art work will be entailed. Frequently this is uneconomic if put out,
and it is not every theatre that possesses a man with the requisite artistic
qualifications, so that generally speaking the exhibitor will have to rely largely
upon letterpress for his publicity. Many managers have done so during the
past year and have scored a hit by the production of humorously topical bill
boards which have a great attraction. Model work and foyer tie-ups with
shops will still be possible, but the more popular trend is to co-operate fully
with one or other of the National war campaigns for which it is absurdly
easy to obtain posters, speakers of civic distinction, and parades of personnel.
This latter policy has the unique advantage of selling the theatre in the
£uise of what every manager should aspire to make his theatre — a real
community centre.
Lighting has been practically abolished as a showmanship adjunct,
for the only setting for illumination is provided by darkness and it is a waste
of effort to evolve schemes which can only operate in the already adequately
lighted interior of the foyer. There have been some stage units employed
in lighting cut-out displays, and transparent pictures and notices with rear
210 The Kinematograph Year Book.
lighting have added a little artistically illuminated relief to the main cir-
culating space of the theatre, but there does not appear to exist any consider-
able interest in the use of ultra violet light and fluorescent surfaces. This is
a pity, for providing the intensity of the light source comes within the regu-
lations there are numerous gay and ingenious uses to which this form of
illumination can be adopted.
Girosign, Ltd. — Notwithstanding temporary dislocation of their manu-
facturing side, the Girosign service has continued to expand and is probably
in greater demand than ever. Entirely reorganised production methods
have been introduced in the new factory at Coulsdon, Surrey. In connection
with the new Board of Trade Order Girosign will be able to continue for
some time to come their service, as they hold a substantial stock of stills of
forthcoming attractions and particularly of reissues. In any event they
will be able to maintain an efficient service of display publicity.
Coltman Displays, Ltd. — -During the last year the problem of providing
publicity for theatre display has in no way become easier, and to overcome
this difficulty numerous theatres have installed a Coltman Display still
service, which ensures a regular supply of attractive publicity of arts, photo-
graphic enlargements and stills, all coming from and returnable to the one
source. This service has the added and big attraction that it includes all
the cabinets and frames, everything being supplied at an inclusive weekly
charge, wtth no capital outlay required at all ; further, the display is made
specially for the theatre in question, so that every frame, in both size and
treatment, becomes part of the theatre's decoration. The problem of supply
and production, however, has in no way hindered work required for damaged
theatres that have managed to reopen ; at such places repairs and renovations
have been carried out or, if essential, entirely new displays installed.
Gordon's Sales and Advertising Service, Ltd., who are one of the three firms
to supply the entire Odeon circuit with publicity under their new scheme,
has had its activities hampered by supply restrictions and the calling up of
personnel. With ingenuity as regards material and the substitution of female
labour the company has kept things going.
Gordons have concentrated on aaapting publicity within the existing
permissible limits, and have gained quite a fair amount of business through
short runs of screen process posters. Their clients, Odeon have introduced
a new scheme of co-ordinated art publicity for interior use which has every
indication of working out well, and might easily prove to be something
revolutionary in kinema publicity at some time in the future, when business
may be conducted under more normal conditions.
National Screen Service, Ltd. — During 1941 National Screen Service has
widened the scope of its activities which were, of course, predominantly
associated with trailers, by including in its services to exhibitors the dis-
tribution of Ministry of Information " five-minute shorts," Ministry of Food
" factual messages," and sundry short films for the National Savings
Corqmittee, the Red Cross, Air Distress Fund and for Government
Departments.
In and out, the company has handled anything from 20,000 to 24,000
short films a week, and has trailer contracts with over 3,750 kinemas. Over
200 people are employed by the company in its offices and factory.

THE KINEMA ORGAN.
WHILE the exigencies of the war have virtually caused the cessation of the
building and importation of kinema organs, their popularity has in no
way diminished, and it is probably unchallenged as the favourite instrument
of the masses. On the air and in the theatre, both as a solo instrument and
as an accompaniment, its functions have never been in greater demand — and
the excellent investment it represents is admitted even by those who never
previously availed themselves to the full of its entertainment facilities.
The organ has become an integral part of any well-balanced programme,
and exhibitors who take every opportunity of employing it as a medium,
not only of entertainment, but also of publicity and showmanship, find it
impossible to assess its value. This situation is a tribute to the inherent
musicianly attributes of the instrument itself, for the Forces have absorbed
a large number of first-rate organists (altogether some 85 per cent, are serving) .
It is a significant fact which should not be lost upon exhibitors that even
when played by performers inferior in registration and general console tech-
nique, the organ has proved so popular. On the other hand, credit is due to
those who have taken the place of more famous players that so many are
achieving such sure showmanship coupled with a high degree of musicianship
that the standard of kinema music remains at such a satisfactory standard.
In order to cope with any further intake of organists, it is suggested that the
trade should arrange some sort of training tuition, but lack of training oppor-
tunities presents an obvious difficulty.
John Compton Organ Co., Ltd. — Production and research are necessarily
at a standstill, yet notwithstanding war time difficulties the John Compton
Organ Co. have been able to continue the maintenance of their instruments,
and recently to carry out the transfer of a Compton Organ from a bombed
kinema and its installation in another theatre, where its entertainment value
has won the spontaneous approval of audiences and management alike.
The Compton Theatrone has not been in production since the war began,
but a number of these effective instruments are installed in theatres and
military establishments, where they are giving complete satisfaction. The
Compton organisation is intact. Post-war requirements are well in mind, and
there is no doubt that with the cessation of hostilities finer instruments than
ever will be available to enhance the great reputation of the Company.
Wurlitzer Kinema Organs.— Major S. J. Wright, whose partner, Walter
Pearce, has been detained in unoccupied France since the outbreak of war,
informs us that since September, 1939, all importations of musical instruments
from the U.S.A. have been prohibited, consequently he has had neither
Wurlitzer Organs or Wurlitzer Coin-Operated Phonographs to sell. Neverthe-
less, the firm of Walter Pearce have managed to keep their heads above water.
The damage done to organs by enemy action has provided a good deal of
work, which, added to their maintenance service, has proved very helpful. In
addition to this they have turned their machines on war work and altogether
have been kept busy with a reduced staff. After the war it seems certain that
there will be a great demand for both organs and phonographs, and provided
the factory at North Tonawanda can make a quick change-over from war work
to normal and the restrictions on imports of musical instruments are removed
they look forward to very large sales.

STAGE EQUIPMENT.
JUDGING irom the extent of the demands made last year by the various
Service institutions upon the purveyors of stage equipment and the
ever increasing interest of the kinema exhibitor in the matter of stage pre-
sentations, it is little wonder that delays in delivery occur, for not only do
these establishments endeavour to meet the requirements of the entertain-
ment with which they were so closely identified in peace time, but most of
them are engaged in priority work for the Government and upon export
trade so vital to national interests. Apart from this, though, the revival in
the use of the kinema stage arising from the increasing elaboration of presenta-
tion and its frequent utilisation for concerts, military shows and the like,
has called for a more complete set-up of lighting and equipment than the
ordinary kinema was accustomed to use in normal times. This extension of
the facilities offered by the kinema has consequently resulted in a moderately
s+eady demand for all essentials of equipment which, with the piiority require-
ments of Government institutions, has cieated a demand foi stage equipment
which lestiictions of men and material have not made it easy to satisfy.
W. J. Flirse & Co., Ltd. — Important steps have been taken to develop the
illuminating engineering branch of Furse activities, and important develop-
ments are also in hand for the expansion of the theatre engineering side of
this business. R. Gillespie Williams, late Chief Colour Engineer of Holophane,
is now in charge of theatre lighting and engineering. Important research work
is in hand, and already a new lighting and control system has been produced.
The works organisation is now almost entirely occupied in connection
with work of urgent national importance, and, as Furse are a protected
establishment and registered under the Essential Works Orders, instructions
for the supply of cinema and theatre equipment can only be accepted when
these are accompanied by the necessary licences. Spare parts and replace-
ments in connection with Furse equipment already in use, however, continue
to be supplied, as the company is very anxious to maintain its high reputation
and to take every step within its power to keep all Furse equipment at full
operation.
The export side of the business has been developed, and steps have been
taken for increased representation in many parts of the world. Curtain
controllers, tracks and lighting equipment are being supplied for installations
abroad, and many outfits, for example, have been sent to South Africa during
the last year.
Development work in colour-lighting, which is one of the organisation's
new interests, is continuing, and evidence of this may be found in some very
interesting installations in industrial premises and at R.A.F. and military
camps. In many cases W. J. Furse have undertaken the complete electrical
contract, and these include a number of N.AA.F.I. halls.
Provincial Cinematograph Trading Co.— This firm is successfully carrying
on and, despite difficulties, have met their customers' requirements in lespect
of all forms of electrical equipment and fittings in which they specialise. The
needs of the exhibitor, whether they result from the policy of ambitious stage
shows or such forms of presentation involving the use of little more than the
bare essentials of stage illumination can be fully met from stock. Other
equipment — curtain tracks, controllers and dimmers — all confoim to the most
modern principles of design and manufacture.
Walturdaw Cinema Supply Co., Ltd.— A considerable business has been
done with the various Service departments, but notwithstanding this,Waltur-
daws have been able to supply their numerous tiade customers with all
essential equipment to enable presentations to be staged under the best and
most efficient conditions. All forms of draperies, cuitain tracks and controls
are still available, while requirements in respect of spots, batteries, footlights
can still be met. A feature is made of the electrical equipment and switch-
gear, and there has been a consistently brisk demand for the supply of
dimmers.
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 213
R. R. B6ard, Ltd. — Continuous research work has been carried out by
these experts, who recently introduced new pattern spotlights which have
proved most efficient for both stage and studio use. Among the new apparatus
is a 500-watt spotlight with four adjustable marking shutters and colour or
diffusing slide-holder. Mention should also be made of the R. R. B. A.C.
stage arc, a compact minor arc equipment which combines long throw with
a white light of even intensity.
Knight & CO. (Engineers), Ltd. — War contracts notwithstanding, this
firm has catered for stage requirements as regards maintenance and servicing
of orchestra lifts, console and stage lifts, safety curtains, counter weighting,
to name but a few of the comprehensive range of equipment and mechanisms
designed.
Robert Rigby, Ltd.— Almost since the very beginnings of the Trade all
kinds of kinematograph and stage apparatus have been supplied under the
famous " Premier " trade mark, and even during the present emergency,
when so large a proportion of the manufacturing facilities of Robert Rigby,
Ltd., is employed on work of national importance, stocks of kine. apparatus
are available to meet the ordinary requirements of the trade. All Premier
equipment is supplied through the various trade houses and there has been
no alteration of the high standard of craftsmanship so long associated with
the firm.
Strand Electric and Engineering Co., Ltd. — The stage lighting activities
of Strand Electric have continued since the outbreak of war. Many of the
peace-time customers have, of course, curtailed their activities, but this
reduction of business has been more than offset by the number of orders which
have been received for the equipping of hostels, camps, barracks, etc., for the
Services.
In addition, considerable progress has been made in the export market.
For example, two important Portuguese contracts were secured, in spite of
keen German and Italian competition.
The first of these was that in connection with the Portuguese State Opera
House, the San Carlos Theatre, Lisbon. In this instance the installation,
which is as large as that at the Covent Garden Opera House, included a Strand
Light Console, the new form of stage lighting control which was such a feature
of the performances at the Strand Electric Demonstration Theatre, and which
has since been installed at the London Palladium. The second, recently
completed, was that for the Coliseum Oporto, a combined theatre and circus.
The Research Department of Strand Electric is also continuing its
activities, and many new types of apparatus and new systems of control,
which will be of considerable interest to exhibitors after the War, are being
evolved .
PROJECTION AND EQUIPMENT.
A~r~1 HE advice was tendered last year that exhibitors would be well advised
to do whatever they could in accumulating stocks of spare accessories as
a precaution against possible shortages. Although it must be admitted that
up to the time of writing the matter has not yet assumed critical proportions,
at the same time the situation is not too easy, and those exhibitors who took
the course suggested possess both a safeguard and a sense of security. It is,
however, pretty evident that components which formerly were able to be
supplied from stock are beginning to be the subject of considerable delay in
delivery, and in some cases may have to be subject to alternative means of
supply. Even when the exhibitor has successfully surmounted the licence
problems he is now finding that stocks of all types are low and ill-distributed.
In a review of the situation, R. H. Cricks points out that valves present
a major difficulty which has caused many headaches to the C.E.A. technical
department. Some types are practically impossible to obtain ; others were
of foreign origin; and the manufacture of others have been discontinued.
214 The Kinematograph Year Book.
The situation, as it now stands, is referred to elsewhere. There is a grave
shortage of optical goods. Many types of arc mirrors are unobtainable, and
it is not always easy to get them re-silvered. Lenses are also extremely scarce.
The situation in regard to the mechanical components of mirrors is also
difficult. The scarcity of high-grade steel and the shortage of skilled crafts-
men have combined to restrict supplies. Just as important as keeping as
large a stock of components as possible is the need to take every precaution
during their operation and use, and not to neglect periodical examination and
cleaning. There has been no development in projection apparatus in this
country, although we may expect not a little of the secret research being
undertaken for war purposes may be found to have important application to
the technique of projection when the subject-matter is ultimately released.
That remains to be seen. Otherwise, such technicians as are left to the Trade
have their time fully occupied in ensuring that the show goes on. Some
interesting technical work has been done in the adaptation of existing com-
ponents to the demands of the Services in connection with the various schemes
carried out with stationary and mobile equipment for entertainment and
training. These requirements have also led to considerable activity in the
sub-standard field, which is referred to elsewhere. Some manufacturers
suffered heavily in the London bombings last year, and their normal war time
difficulties have been accentuated by having to move premises and re-equip
workshops for manufacturing purposes.
Although the importation of American material has to all intents and
purposes ceased, -it is remarkable that the number of hold-ups, owing to a
breakdown in servicing, has been practically negligible. This trouble-free
situation has been brought about by the fact that when war broke out
manufacturers and suppliers were well stocked with spares, including
rebuilt mechanisms which, from time to time, have been reinforced by
salvaged material. Our manufacturers of mechanisms, arc lamps, and
other equipment have necessarily had much of their former activities
curtailed, and the Control Order issued last year requiring permits for
manufacture and sale did not simplify the situation ; indeed, the scope
of control was subsequently widened to embrace various types of generators,
switch-gear, motors, rectifiers, rotary converters and transformers, static
condensers, transformers, etc.
Exigencies of the war situation have necessarily led to the postponement
of the demand for the longer reel. There are many logical arguments in
favour of the proposal, and it may be taken for granted that the post-war
period will see the subject of the 2,000 ft. reel again in the realm of practical
politics. Meanwhile the need of larger capacity reel tins and transport cases
and other difficulties prevent the serious consideration of its adoption.
Two interesting suggestions relating to the projector light source have
been recorded. An American suggestion is that of switching off the arc lamp
during those fractions of a second when it is not needed in order to increase
the efficiency of the arc and at the same time economise current. The object
of the other device — a German one — -is to secure a more even field of light on
the gate aperture, and involves an arrangement whereby a number of such
elements are impressed on the plane faces of two plano-convex condensers
arranged with curved faces outwards. The total length of these small lenses is
such that each pair forms a separate image of the light source — each small
image covering the whole aperture.
The possibility of using photo-electric cells and bi-metallic thermostats
to ensure a constant light on the screen has been advanced in America as a
means of improving control of carbon arc position.
A new type of rewinder has been developed by Western Electric.
The device is motor driven, and as the diameter of the lower reel increases
and additional torque is needed to maintain an even tension, the upper reel
becomes lighter and consequently increases the tension of the film. The
apparatus should prove a complete guard against careless or incompetent
projectionists.
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 215
The Carbon Pool. — The second year's operation of the Carbon Pool
has convinced exhibitors of the wisdom in supporting this form of control
rather than invite a Government rationing scheme. The safeguards insisted
upon by the C.E.A. have functioned successfully and beyond one or two
inevitable grumbles of delivery delays, the exhibitor has been freed from
anxiety as regards his illuminant. This result is the more remarkable when
we consider the huge demand made by the Services on the carbon output ;
the efficiency of the organisation is reflected in the decision last year to stop
the importation of the American carbons, by which it was found necessary to
supplement the home-produced article. Nowadays, the British makers are
able to take care of all requirements. One interesting point which was disclosed
during this period was that our exhibitors very much preferred the British
article. Owing to the rising costs of manufacture, carbon prices were
advanced 20 per cent, during the December rationing period. In order to
ensure a smooth flow of product to exhibitors, it was decided that the Pool
vouchers were available only during the rationing period for which they are
issued. Later on in the year the need for paper economy led to increasing
and standardising the packing quantities and the importance of returning to
the Pool the empty packages was emphasised.
British Films, Ltd. — In addition to the production of piopaganda shorts,
the firm has the distinction of being the only organisation in this country
which builds mobile kinemas for daylight and open-air presentations. Recent
contracts include five for the Ministry of Information for use in the Colonies,
and five for the Conservative Party. The largest order to date has come
from the National Savings Committee, who are acquiring 12 vans.
Apart from the constructional side, the company is in a position to hire,
staff and maintain a fleet of 15 mobile kinema vans, and with these they
have conducted tours for Government and other organisations. Since
April 1940, the National Savings Committee alone have given over 23,000
displays to audiences numbering just 8 million.
British Films also specialise in the construction of mobile kinemas for
indoor displays, and have for hire both 35 mm. and 16 mm. units. Eleven
years' experience enables the company to tackle any problem in kinema
construction and operation. Recently a contract was completed for 50
conversion units and 39 petrol electric power units for the Ministry of
Information ; these were specially designed for 16 mm. portable projection,
and the company is now engaged in producing 149 of the latter for the War
Office. Another interesting feature of British Films' activities is the con-
struction and installation of public address equipment ; facilities which have
been in constant use for Government and propaganda purpose.
British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd. — The latest developments in the
B.T.-H. mercury discharge projection lamps were demonstrated before the
B.K.S. in May. The lamp consists of a small quartz tube inside a water
jacket. The brightness is about 30,000 stilb, and has the characteristic that
it runs up to brightness in a very short time. Length of life is about 1,000
hours, but is dependent largely upon the number of times the lamp is started ;
the efficiency is from 60 to 65 lumens per watt. It was pointed out that one
way of increasing the brightness of a discharge lamp is by putting more
power into the arc. In the compact-source type, the voltage drop across the
arc is kept quite low — about 60 or 70 volts — and the lamp operates at a
pressure of from 20 to 40 atmospheres. Such lamps are marketed in 250
and 500 watt sizes, the brightness being respectively 10,000 and 20,000 stilb.
One defect of the lamp is that it takes a few minutes to run up to full bright-
ness. Another way of obtaining high brightness is to use a much higher
pressure and quite a low current ; the high pressure means that the voltage
gradient in the arc is very high and so the arc requires a high working voltage.
Cine Sales, Ltd. — The War has given very little opportunity for J. Sturgeon
to produce new models. 1941 would have been a record year for sales of
Sturgeon- Acme Arc Lamps but for the fact that their works were completely
216 The Kiiiematogmph Year Book.
destroyed by enemy action The many difficulties of obtaining new machinery
being overcome, the new works are in full production, and all arc lamps now
being made will be fitted with the new Patented Negative Head. This new
movement provides for the minutest vertical adjustment to the Carbon
Electrodes. The present lateral adjustment is being retained, as this ha«
proved most satisfactory.
If any exhibitor has been disappointed owing to non-delivery of Arc
T.amps they are assured that deliveries during 1942 will be greatly
accelerated.
J. Frank Brockliss, Ltd. — Official restrictions and difficulties of supply
notwithstanding, Brockliss are still in a position to supply a number of arc
lamps and spotlights which were in stock prior to July 31, 1940. The
" Stelmar " arc is proving a very valuable asset at the present time, particu-
larly in view of the fact that the now- well known " Suprex " type of arc such
as Magnarc and the Monarc are difficult to obtain.
Provincial Cinematograph Trading Co. — All forms of projection equip-
ment and accessories are distributed by this well-known Leeds firm, whose
proprietors are Electrocord, Ltd. Electrical fittings and all box-office
requirements, rectifiers, screens and lenses, switchboards and dimmers
are among the wide range of technical equipment marketed under the famous
" Premier " trademark, which indicates a comprehensive guarantee of all
installations.
Morgan Slides, Ltd. — The war has emphasised the importance of slides
for the immediate presentation of urgent announcements and Morgans have
been called upon to deal with many orders of this type. One of the most
interesting jobs of this nature was an order to provide each house of one of the
major circuits with three slides. The order was completed in two days — -quite an
achievement even in normal times, but particularly so at a period when
shortage of supplies and staff have to be reckoned upon. Nevertheless H. M.
Morgan and his staff have generally surmounted all difficulties and upheld the
firm's reputation for speedy service. ,
Novelties at B.K.S. — A surprisingly large number of new apparatus was
demonstrated at the May meeting of the British Kinematograph Society.
They included the new Gebescope 16-mm. projector, new rectifier alloys by
the Westinghouse Brake and Signal Co. Pick-up improvements by P. G. A.
Voight ; mercury discharge lamps by B.T.-H. ; new lenses by Taylor, Taylor
& Hobson, including a giant television projection lens ; a new electrical
measuring device, and the new Kalee transportable 35-mm. projector. It
was evident of the manner in which the Industry is serving the national
cause was indicated by the fact that nearly all the equipment had been
produced for the Government.
Sound Testing Equipment, an instrument which should be in the posses-
sion of all for sound and electrical testing, is the 46 Range Universal AvoMeter,
Model 7, manufactured by the Automatic Coil Winder and Electrical Equip-
ment Co., Ltd. This entirely self-contained instrument provides for every
essential test in the maintenance of electrical and sound equipment. It has
46 ranges of direct readings, all taken without external shunts or multipliers.
An automatic cut-out protects the instrument from damage in the event of a
severe overload. With its ranges for measuring A.C. and D.C. current,
A.C. and D.C. voltage resistance, capacity, audio-frequency power output,
and decibels, it is an all-embracing test instrument indispensable to the
maintenance and sound engineer.
PROJECTORS.
British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd.— The research, advanced design and
service for which this company's products are famous have been continued
during the year, and their kinema sales, recorded by Sound Equipment, Ltd.,
have been highly satisfactory. Two B.T.H. models are marketed : (a) The

standard model, utilising the highly successful fireproof spoolboxes ; and (b)
incorporating normal spoolboxes. The projector mechanism is the same in
both, and embodies the reflector cooling system. Despite the increase in
arc-lantern efficiencies with consequent increase of heat in the beam, develop-
ments have proved it possible to make the picture gate even cooler. They
also include a special built-in changeover device fitted at the back of the
equipment — -an ideal position. As the device is sufficiently robust to with-
stand the heat of the arc lamps indefinitely, and thus forms an additional
safety feature, the success of the B.T.H. 50-ampere and the low-intensity
arc lamps have necessitated little change in design.
The recently introduced type " F " equipment, which utilises automatic
feed with copper-coated high-intensity carbons, is designed for currents
between 40 and 50 amperes and for use in smaller theatres requiring high-
intensity results.
Other forms of the B.T.H. kinema equipment include rectifiers, stage
amphitheatre equipment, auditorium and architectural lighting and Mazda
fluorescent lamps.
J. Frank Brockliss, Ltd. — Owing to the war it naturally follows that
Brockliss as with other companies cannot introduce to the Trade any new
models in projection equipment, but, although engaged' on work of National
importance, they have been able to maintain their usual service to their
many customers, and are doing everything possible to maintain the efficiency
of the " Simplex " projectors and the arc lamps which they have marketed
in the past. They are in the position of being able to supply, at any rate,
sufficient spare parts to make good projectors which are in need of essential
replacements.
The distinctive features of the recently introduced S.I. projector, sim-
plicity, ease of operation and an excellent screen picture has been acknowledged
in all the medium-sized theatres in which it has been installed. A unique
point about this projector are the front and rear synchronised shutters. The
double-shutter attachment of the Simplex E7 can be fitted to any Simplex,
and, apart from other advantages, it is claimed passes more light than any
other shutter. The mechanism, while ridding the projectionist of many small
detail duties, also gives a steadier image, a cleaner picture, one that is more
brilliantly lighted, far greater period of peak performance, improved operating
characteristics, greater operating convenience, and indirect but important
benefits to sound and light.
Like other equipment firms, Messrs. Brockliss, Ltd., can only look forward
to the time, when peace arrives in order that once again they may market
the well known models they now handle plus the extensive developments in
both " Simplex " projectors and especially in the sphere of arc lamps.
6.-B. Equipment, Ltd. — The Magnus projector is entirely British made
at the firm's Shepherd's Bush works, and consequently the supply of spares
and replacements is not likely to be seriously affected. A massive box type
stand and platform combines excellent rigidity with improved appearance
and houses all ancillary equipment, including arc lamp controls, meters,
exciter lamp supply, meter and starting controls. The famous Brenkert
arc lamps still continue to hold their eminent position as one of the most
efficient lamps on the market. The range comprises the Enarc H.I. Suprex.
fully automatic type with 13^-in. mirror and the " E " type L.I. automatic
with 10-in. mirror. The A.C. high intensity field is covered by the Econarc,
a fully automatic lamp with 12-in. mirror, having a proven light output
equal to any other A.C. lamp on the market. To owners of large kinemas
and particularly the showman exhibitor, the Brenograph Effects machine is
available as a necessary adjunct in putting over elaborate scenic effects for
stage shows and organ interludes.
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 219
Kalee, Ltd. — The vast increase in Service establishments and in the number
of mobile touring vans has led to a considerable demand for Kalee equipment,
particularly the " Twelve " and " Dragon " mechanisms. The most modern
features, including drum type shutter, are, of course, incorporated in the
"Dragon," but it is slightly lighter in construction as compared with the
Kalee " Twelve," and has group system lubrication. It is, however, a fine
piece of precision mechanism and carries with it the Kalee hallmark of quality.
It is suitable for use with all the principal sound systems.
Kalee arc lamps, of the Regal and Vulcan types, designed for use with
14-in. and 10-in. mirrors respectively, with automatic feed, continue to be in
wide use. They combine the maximum illumination for all purposes with
economical current consumption.
Kamm & Co., Ltd. — Government claims upon their facilities have
caused this firm temporarily to forsake the kinema business. At the same
time there are a number of their well-known equipments available from
Yitavox, Ltd., who are also continuing the servicing of Kamm equipment.
Pathe Equipment, Ltd. — -Although mainly engaged upon national work, the
company are supplying the famous Ross mechanism both for trade and official
purposes. Features of the G.C. projector are its universal adaptability to
all sound systems. The gearing is totally enclosed, bearings are bushed
with " Oilite " self-lubricating bronze bushes, which require oiling only once
a month. The racking embodies the rotating cross-box system and is effected
from a conveniently placed knob underneath the lens mount, and permits
latitude for a full-frame adjustment. Both Maltese cross and intermittent
sprocket are hardened and ground, the latter by Ross's unique system. The
cross is of the well-chosen intermediate size. The sprocket is reversible. A
rear shutter is, of course, used, and the tunnel to the gate effectually shields
the eyes of the projectionist. The gate itself is of the parallel sliding type and
is mounted so that mis-alignment through wear is exceedingly improbable.
The spool-boxes are 18 in. in diameter, providing ample space for the fingers
around a 15-in. spool holding the maximum length of film allowable. The
upper arm is adjustable for angle, so that on a steep projection rake the box
does not overhang, and increase the effective length of the machine. Bottom
arms incorporate silent chain-drive take-up with sensitive self-adjusting clutch
movement. The pedestal stand is a very rigid job, well balanced with con-
venient adjustment.
A Ross speciality which has been in good demand is the Type D arc
lamp, which embraces the general characteristics of the popular type " C,"
but is naturally of greater light efficiency as a result of the incorporation of
its larger mirror, which brings its performance into line with that of other high
intensity lamps. The new design permits the use of " Suprex " type carbons,
thus ensuring a standard of high intensity screen illuminosity now demanded
by the modern picture patron. The average load of these lamps varies from
40 to 65 amperes, which renders them suited to all halls of standard capacities.
It is claimed that by its use one gets high-intensity projection at low-intensity

The Ross " Sceneograph " effects machine is a simple combination of
appliances that affords a high degree of efficiency in the production of theatrical
effects from the operating box. The appliance consists of a double optical
lantern comprising two Ross vertical arc lamps, with very many refinements
directed towards a threefold instead of a single purpose. Its triple functions
are those of spot and flood lighting with dynamic and combined colours,
scenic effect projector and lantern slide projector. The lamps are mounted
above each other, each with its own controls.
Jack Roe. — As the result of the untimely death of the founder, this firm
is now controlled by E. J. Roe and R. C. Roe, who are continuing the service
associated with the company's reputation, which is still based upon the

construction of Ashcraft arcs and Century projectors and, of course, the
Century " Sure-fit " spares. These are supplied sealed and can be fitted
without any tools other than a screwdriver, an immense advantage in these
days of technical staff shortage. There has been a continued demand for the
Ashcraft " Suprex " projection arcs, the standard illuminant for the Century
projector. *
The Century Model C is adaptable to all existing types of sound-heads.
Ball bearings and " oil- less " bearings are employed throughout to provide
quiet operation and long life. Ball-races are hermetically sealed in high
temperature lubricating grease, consequently they never heed oiling and
are permanently protected against dirt. Low-speed shafts rotate in oil-less
bearings of porous composition, each equipped with an oil reservoir. Lubricat-
ing oil reaches the shaft through the pores of the bearing material, which
serves as a filter, preventing the entry of dirt. The projector main frame is
a one-piece casting providing rigid support to the operating parts. .The
interior of the mechanism housing is enamelled in white for maximum visibility
and to encourage cleanliness.
The main drive shaft, vertical shaft and shutter shaft are removable
as integral units. The intermittent movement is of direct drive design and
readily removable. The intermittent is oiled, and removed when necessary,
from the operating side of the projector. The film gate is readily removable for
inspection and cleaning ; film trap shoes are interchangeable and reversible.
A guide provides antomatic indication of correct loop length. A framing
lamp is provided, and there is a spot sight aperture in the shutter guard. A
90 deg. single-shutter is supplied as standard equipment, a double shutter
attachment being available at slight additional cost.
Walturdaw Cinema Supply Co., Ltd., have long been recognised as
specialists in all matters affecting projection and screen illumination, and
although the war has stopped one source of supply a considerable volume of
business has been carried on during the year by the provision of rebuilt and
reconditioned mechanisms. Fortunately the firm has held large stocks of
spares, so that there will be no difficulty in meeting customers' requirements,
while the country-wide efficient service of the company is being well main-
tained both at 46. Gerrard Street, W.l, and at their provincial branches.
PROJECTION LENSES.
ONE of the newer types of plastic materials — the methacrylate class —
has found three applications to photography. Isobutyl methacrylate
has proved of considerable interest for cementing both lenses and light filters
and has proved an excellent substitute for Canada balsam. When applied
to film base before coating it with emulsion, it keeps it sufficiently watertight
tc maintain accurate spacing of the sprocket holes. These methacrylates
are very resilient as dry films, but they can be rendered more pliable by the
use ot the well-known plasticisers, such as dibutyl, phthalate. In America
the Du Pont organisation has used this application in the production of
lenses. It is revolved into a glass-clear material from which mass-produced
cheap lenses can be moulded with a high degree of precision and at trifling
cost.
Taylor, Taylor & Hobson, Ltd. — Taylor-Hobson's activities have been
fully absorbed by the provision of equipment to meet the greatly increased
production demands in a number of branches of the national effort, particu-
larly in the fields of scientific instruments, precision gauging apparatus.
machine tools and photographic lenses of all types. A number of optical
and precision-mechanical devices perfected by this firm, mainly for Govern-
ment purposes, were demonstrated to the B.K.S. in May. Two of the most
interesting features afforded a great contrast — one was an enormous lens
made for the purpose of television projection upon a large screen, it was of
12 in. focus and worked at f /1.5 and weighed about 70 lb. ; the other was a
tiny lens especially made for B.T.H., of 12|-mm. focus, f/2.5, the glasses
about \ in. in diameter.
Film Exhibition and Kinana Technique 221
Taylor-Hobson projection lenses are still being installed by the Govern-
ment departments, presumably for use with projection equipment for enter-
tainment and educational purposes. It may be fully expected that on a return
to peace time trading, when the highly specialised development and technical
resources of this company can be concerned with normal needs, new develop-
ments and results of research will follow to enhance the already high reputation
of Taylor-Hobson in the industry.
The Hummel Optical Co., Ltd. — The Aldis-Hummel projection lens has
now fully established itself on the market and is finding increasing favour,
both at home and abroad, owing to its special features, such as absence of
balsam in the compound lens, thus doing away with all danger of deterioration,
and absence of stops in the barrel, ensuring maximum passage of light. This
lens is short and easily handled and posted, and its price is extremely
reasonable.
Walturdaw Cinema Supply Co., Ltd. — Every possible lens need of a
kinema can be met from Walturdaw stocks which include the Zeiss lenses
which vary in foci from 40 m.m. to 200 m.m. at f / 1.9 aperture. Of special
interest is the Kipronar series of from 120 to 200 m.m. focus which have a
constant aperture of f /1.9 and vary in diameter between 80 to 100 m.m., and
the Alinar seiies of short focus length lenses.
THE PROJECTION SCREEN.
NO new advances in screen construction have been incorporated in recent
installations, although research by our recognised projection screen
specialists has been proceeding alongside record activity in connection with
service requirements. The progress of events on the Malay Peninsula at one
time gave rise to a fear that the manufacture of the rubber projection screen
would be prejudiced, but as this description appears to be little more than a
Trade name, because the material employed is neither rubber nor a rubber
derivative, there is little excuse for anxiety in this respect. Generally speaking,
the metal type of screen continues in demand, and it is not anticipated that
there will be any difficulty in continuing supplies — a satisfactory outlook,
having regard to the good wearing qualities of this type of screen.
Although there may have been few difficulties in screen replacement,
the situation is not likely to improve as time goes on. The better-grade
materials share in the general shortness and in many kinemas economy and
prudence may dictate the longer use of a screen than would normally be the
case. The cleaning and doping at specified intervals must not be neglected,
and meanwhile care should be taken to prevent dirt from settling on it. The
use of a vacuum plant for this purpose is suggested. There is evidence that
the level of screen illumination has deteriorated, particularly in some of the
smaller halls. Inadequate arc current may be the reason for this result, but
while checking up this possibility, there is no reason to ignore the possible
alternative of a dirty screen.
Andrew Smith, Harkness, Ltd. — This firm is still able to supply its metal
screen, which is seamless, the base being wire gauze. A good deal of this
firm's product is now earmarked for the Services, principally of the roll-up
pattern, supplied in glass beaded or opaque. The glass screen continues to be

one of the lines most in demand, and from this and other specialities of this
Company there has been a satisfactory export business built up in the Colonies
and Dominions. The glass substitute material recently introduced as the
result of the firm's experience in the manufacture of rear-projection screens
has 3 wide application in the repair of windows of blasted premises. This
weatherproof and transparent article consists of wire gauze treated with a
transparent rubber solution.
Stableford All- Metal Screens, Ltd. — Since last year, the activities of this
firm in respect to its well-known metal screens began to be severely restricted.
Fortunately, however, as they were already developing the manufacture of
rubber screens, they were able not only to meet all exhibitor requirements,
but also to increase the scope of their work. Stableford's also make rear
projection screens and all types of portable models, the latter of which they
have supplied a great many, amounting to hundreds, to the various Services.
They also handle an extensive amount of screen re-surfacing work for, among
others, some of the large circuits.
Bulman Jupiter Screen Co. (1936), Ltd.— In spite of the war, this old-
established firm is able to supply screens on hire maintenance and numerous
exhibitors have availed themselves of the benefit of a contract on this basis.
Specialities of this Company include White Perforated screens, opaque,
metal, and rear-projection screens. A considerable turnover is reported in
the amateur department, while the works are busy keeping pace with the
requirements of the Services. Among the great number of popular models
supplied are the Hollywood Model H and the Hollywood de luxe models.
VALVE SHORTAGE.
EXHIBITOR concern at the situation arising from the shortage of
thermionic valves which threatened to close a number of theatres
has been reflected by the attention given the subject by the C.E.A. technical
department, which has been in touch with the Government departments,
the Kinematograph Manufacturers' Association, and various manufacturers
in an attempt to solve the problem. One point which emerged was that
the principal suppliers of sound-reproducing apparatus could meet normal
requirements for a period of from 18 months to two years. Difficulties,
however, were anticipated as regards valves of the lesser-known varieties of
equipment ; and in December the general position seemed to be that the
situation in regard to amplifying valves is less serious, since there are numerous
types which are more or less interchangeable. In the case of some types it
might be necessary to replace the existing valve-holders by other type holders
to suit the valves available, but this is not a difficult job.
It is in regard to the replacement of rectifier and charging valves that
the main concern is felt. Approaches to the Government led to the official
issue of a questionnaire on the use of valves,- which showed that kinemas
employ 397 types of valves and that the anticipated requirements for replace-
ments during 12 months total 35,826. This was a step in the right direction,
but as it turned out proved of no assistance in meeting the Trade require-
ments for oxide cathode rectifiers, which noimally employ Philips' valves,
the source of supply of which ceased when the Germans invaded Holland.
Hopes were held out by Philips' Industrial, Ltd., and subsequently by Edison-
Swan, Ltd., of supplies being available towards the end of the year, but
Government priority prevented their realisation, and at the time of writing
there is no likelihood that rectifying valves will be on the market this year.
Even under normal conditions the life of the valves for oxide cathode
rectifiers need replacement about every two years, so that it is evident that
some exhibitors must now be functioning without spares — a situation which
has caused them to consider their substitution by an entirely different type of
apparatus. In the early stages of the war many far-sighted managements,
realising that the inductor and the A.C. arc provided one way out of their
difficulties, made arrangements to instal such apparatus, at least as a reserve.
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 223
Among the alternatives open to exhibitors faced with a possible failure
of oxide cathode rectifiers are the following : (a) An all-metal copper oxide
rectifier of the Westinghouse type ; (b) a mercury pool rectifier, such as
that manufactured by Hewittic ; (c) A.C. arcs ; (d) a reactive transformer,
such as the Strong inductor which combines the functions of transformer
and choke, reducing the mains voltage to a voltage suitable for the arc.
The use of these suggested valve substitutes is, of course, dependent
upon the necessary apparatus being available, which is problematical, as the
demand upon manufacturers has been heavy, and many of them are in such
short supply that delays in delivery are certain to occur. The cost of the .
installation of these alternatives has been estimated by the C.E.A. to be in
the case of the all-metal and the mercury pool rectifiers between £200 and
£300 per theatre. As regards A.C. arcs, new lamps will be required, which,
as motors are unobtainable, will necessarily be hand-fed, and the whole cost
of the conversion (if the necessary permission is forthcoming) would be in the
neighbourhood of £130. A Strong inductor costs in the region of £55 without
arc.
Another suggestion made in the Ideal Kinema was for the exhibitor to
make what is the equivalent of his own A.C. arc, using horizontally-opposed
carbons. The system, however, is very wasteful of current and involves the
rewinding of a transformer by a competent electrician.
In any case, exhibitors are advised to make .a periodic examination of
projectors, amplifiers and rectifiers so that the slightest sign of deterioration
may be noticed and an early demand for replacement made.
Aldrich Inductor. — The circumstances of the past year, particularly the
threatened shortage of rectifying valve*, have won many new friends for this
equipment which is now installed either for immediate use or as stand-by in
over 300 kinemas at a cost of about £25 each. They operate satisfactorily on
all types of arc lamps, but it is a recognised fact that the coaxial type of arc
lamp offers the best screen illumination. The angular type of arc, if the angle
is not too acute, will also give quite good, evenly distributed light. As there
are no valves or other breakable parts in the Aldrich Inductor very many
years of good reliable service are obtainable from the equipment.
The simplicity of the equipment is apparent. Whilst its function is
amongst the most important of kinema requirements, the installation calls for
no high degree of engineering skill. It should be noted that an Aldrich
Inductor is required for each projection arc lamp. This is so that each
inductor may have a period of rest, whilst its opposite equipment is in action.
In the most unlikely event of one of the inductors breaking down, the remain-
ing unit will operate both projectors for an indefinite period. In most situa-
tions, Inductors can be located under the projector bases, this being the
most convenient position for effective operation. The next best position is at
the point where the original motor generator or rectifier was situated. The
latter position calls for a little heavier wiring than in the former position.
The general efficiency of the Aldrich Inductor is in the neighbourhood
of 93 per cent, and the consequent power factor is also high. The maximum
demand charge called for will therefore be correspondingly low. In many
kinemas the maximum demand has remained at under 2 kilowatts for long
periods, only increasing when both arcs have been left in operation at once
for a sufficient length of time to register the increase. This can easily be
avoided and is, in fact, due entirely to careless operation.
The light from an A.C. arc at 80 amperes is comparable with that provided
by the modern H.I. arc lamp operating at 45 amperes D.C., but the high
efficiency of the A.C. equipment provides this illumination at a cost of less than
a third of that of the D.C. equipment.
B.T.H. Rectifiers. — B.T.H, kinema rectifiers for A.C. to D.C. conversion
are being widely used for the operation of the arc lamps necessary to obtain
the desired high standard of illumination.
224 The Kinematograph Year Hook.
The B.T.H. hot-cathode type utilises three mercury vapour valves (two
valves are used for single-phase supplies), and can be supplied for continuous
ratings up to 120 amp. suitable for 75-amp. arcs. In the case of three-phase
equipments, two valves will carry the load for a short period, should one
valve fail, warning of which is indicated by a special device. The B.T.H.
glass-bulb rectifier can be supplied for any rating required in kinemas.
Generally a single-bulb equipment is used, but for increased safety-factor a
twin-bulb equipment can be supplied .having two bulbs operating in parallel
or with the second bulb as stand by. The B.T.H. " Thyrect " equipment for
emergency lighting in kinemas automatically maintains the battery and
safety lights under all conditions. The equipment has unique advantages,
one of the most important being that it gives " trickle " charge at constant
rate irrespective of variation in lamp load, supply voltage, or condition of
the battery. Also, it eliminates contactors between the battery and lights,
and increases the life of the battery indefinitely.
Crypton Equipment, Htd. — War conditions have naturally affected the
activities of all manufacturers, but this is particularly so with the Crypton
Equipment, Ltd., who, apart from problems of war production, have
unfortunately suffered from enemy action during the past year to an extent
which has necessitated the establishment and equipment of a completely
new factory at Bridgwater, Somerset. Many problems had to be faced in
the re-establishment of production, but these were all quickly overcome,
production was resumed within three months, and plans are in hand which
will ensure the firm having a very attractive range of modern equipment
available for the trade immediately peace trading conditions return.
HewittiC Electric Co., Ltd. — This well-known firm, specialising in
rectifiers for kinema projection and emergency light systems, reports that
cessation of new building has naturally modified the demand for kinema
rectifiers, and there has been a corresponding development in the demand
for other types of rectifiers arising from war-time industrial requirements.
Yet quite a number of Hewittic kinema rectifiers are being installed during
the war, and analysis shows that these have in many cases taken the place
of motor generator sets or of types of rectifier for which it has become difficult
or impossible to obtain spare equipment, due to the foreign origin of the rectifier
or of some of its parts. Also Hewittic " Econotrol " rectifiers have been
installed in various kinemas where, in these days of enforced ecoriomy, the
notable saving in power costs arising from the use of this modern equipment
can be fully appreciated. The matter of spare parts is one which is nowadays
becoming acute where a motor generator is used (with its brush and some-
times bearing replacements), or a rectifier requiring periodic replacement of
the rectifier bulb, a condition which does not apply to the Hewittic rectifier ;
while, should a spare Hewittic part be required, incidentally a rare occurrence,
the user has the comforting assurance that the whole of the equipment,
including bulbs, is made in England and that parts and service are readily
available. The features of the Hewittic kinema rectifier — its simple un-
attended operation, the variable control it affords over arc current and the
outstanding economy of the " Econotrol " rectifier — are well known, and it
may be said that current developments are such that the end of the war will
find Hewittic well able to hold their established position in the field of kinema
rectifiers.
WestinghOUSe Brake & Signal Co., Ltd.— During the early part of the last
year the supply of Westinghouse kinema arc rectifiers had been going on at an
accelerating pace, an average of about two kinemas per week being supplied
during that period. However, owing to large demands for other types of
Westinghouse rectifiers, the manufacture of the kinema arc equipment had
to be discontinued and, when the existing stocks were exhausted, further
demands could not be met.
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 225
During this period, however, Westinghouse research engineers perfected
the new " Westalite " rectifier. This does not, in general, supersede the
copper-oxide type, but is better suited to the larger power applications, the
D.C. supply to the kinema arc being a notable instance in which it can be
used effectively. At a demonstration to the B.K.S. it was explained that
the new rectifier made use of the properties of selenium ; but while other
experimenters had used pure selenium, Westinghouse employed certain alloys.
One failing of the copper-oxide rectifier is its limited working temperature,
for it must not be worked at over 55 deg. C. total temperature. In contrast,
the Westalite element can be worked satisfactorily up to a temperature limit
of 85 deg. C. The efficiency is at least as high as copper-oxide. One con-
siderable feature emphasised was the reduction in bulk of a rectifier made
possible by this new development. Although the new equipment will not be
on the market at present, as the full output of these rectifiers is absorbed in
other directions, the new Westinghouse " Westalite " kinema arc rectifier,
incorporating the well-known constant current feature, will be available when
more stable conditions are secured.
SECONDARY LIGHTING EQUIPMENT.
THEATRE operation in war-time and especially under " blitz " con-
ditions has proved a testing-time for the principle of secondary lighting,
particularly when it is provided by the storage battery. Blast and bomb
damage which have put electrical and gas mains out of action have not
affected, in the majority of cases, the functioning of the battery installation
which has demonstrated its reliability by immediately providing the necessary
illumination to enable managements to deal with whatever circumstances
may arise from enemy action. The advantages of the floating- battery
system have been proved under war conditions, and the wisdom of relying
upon battery supplied secondary lighting is fully justified by events
of the past year. Exhibitors possessing this equipment are unlikely to be
interested in the suggestion made by the Birkenhead fire brigade of the
desirability of kinemas installing storm-lamps in various parts of the theatre
so that, in case of damage through enemy action to electric cables and gas
mains, another form of lighting may be quickly available. Although it is
well to prepare for every contingency, it does not seem that the battery
installation is any more vulnerable than storm-lamp lighting unless a direct
hit occurs on the battery-room, in which event the proposed tertiary lighting
system would also probably be extinguished.
British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd. — The "Thyrect," a Thyraton-
controlled system, which automatically maintains battery and safety lights
under all conditions, has for its main features automatic regulation and the
provision of the " trickle " charge at constant rate, irrespective of variation
in lamp load, supply voltage or condition of battery. It also affords " lump "
charge at a constant rate after heavy discharge ; eliminates contactors
between battery and lights and also increases indefinitely the life of the
battery.
Chloride Electrical Storage Co. Ltd. — The extensive range of stationary
batteries and rectifier equipments handled by this firm are the result of con-
tinuous research into the requirements of exhibitors as regards secondary
lighting. The batteries are of the sealed-in type incorporating robust plates
of Plante design, such as are used in power station installations. The batteries
can be delivered direct to site filled and fully charged ready for immediate
use, so that the work of installation is an easy matter.
The equipments provide an instant emergency lighting supply from the
battery, and to maintain it in a fully charged condition so that it is ready
for any demand. For this duty there are three types of equipments.
Of the first, the well-known " Keepalite " equipment (Patent No.
313248), the important feature is the trickle charging of the battery, which
H
226 The Kinematograph Year Book.
requires the minimum of maintenance and helps to prolong the life of the
battery. Keepalite "B," the invention of Basil Davis (Patent No. 377671),
employs the floating-battery system, and is available in a wide range of
outputs and voltages, and eminently satisfies the requirements of many local
authorities. The equipment employs a rectifier, in which choke control
of a special nature ensures a constant floating condition of the battery despite
wide changes in the lighting load, occasioned by the switching on of additional
secondary lighting at dusk, as is the practice in many kinemas. With this
equipment the only attention necessary is to switch on the rectifier and the
secondary lights. As an alternative to Keepalite " B " there is the standard
floating-battery system employing a rectifier generally similar to that used in
the last system, but without the refinement of the automatic choke control.
D. P. Battery Co., Ltd. — The popular D. P. Katholite floating battery
system of emergency lighting continues in demand, and the company is able
to offer a wide range of automatic installations which meets the various
regulations of local authorities.
1. All lighting circuits are supplied from private generating plant with
a battery of ample capacity installed on the premises.
2. The main lighting circuits are taken from an outside supply, with
the safety lighting taken from a battery, which must be fully charged every
day by means of either a motor generator or indep2ndent plant. Its capacity
must be equal to supplying the safety lighting load for the number of hours
required by the regulations.
3. The main lighting circuits are supplied from outside, but the safety
lighting is connected to a motor generator running off the mains with a battery
" floating." Although this method is approved by authorities in the London
area, some authorities require that in the event of a main supply failure
the public shall be turned out of the building. 3a. Is similar in principle
to scheme 3, but in this case the safety lights are fed by a rectifier instead
of a motor generator.
4. This is a non-automatic method in which the safety lights are con-
nected to an independent battery fitted with small pilot lamps connected
up to the main lighting switch, which are always on when the main switch
is closed, but are actually fed by the battery. The trickle charger is set,
and to avoid any possibility of the " trickle charge " apparatus failing to
function, and such a failure escaping notice, so as to allow the cells to run
down, a battery voltage indicator is provided.
Research is continually taking place, but in view of the satisfactory
service already obtained from Kathanode sound batteries in use throughout
the country, there appears little prospect at present of any radical change
being made in their construction.
Nife Batteries, Ltd., have always contended that all the essential
emergency lights should be controlled by one master switch in order to conform
to the requirements of the Home Office. Under war-time conditions, however,
the position is somewhat different, owing to the fact that certain parts of
the kinema may not now be in use. Consequently, it is now an advantage
to install a floating battery system, whereby the emergency lighting load is
automatically balanced by the rectifier without manual adjustment. Special
attention has been given to the design of equipment which will meet the new
conditions, and automatic sets are now available in a wide range of outputs
and voltages. Complete control of the equipment is still effected by one
master control switch (British Patent No. 492908), having three positions
as follows : —
(i) Equipment out of action ; (ii) Float ; (iii) Quick charge.
In Scotland, however, an automatic switch is still permitted, and since
the Nife battery has no open circuit losses, it is not necessary to trickle
charge the battery to maintain it in a healthy condition. In view of the
fact that adequate D.C. supply is available in the kinema for the kine. arcs
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 227
this supply is used for charging purposes. By this means the cost of the
equipment is kept down to a minimum. One knob control is again used
here, having four positions, as follows : —
(i) Equipment out of action ; (ii) Ready for emergency ; (hi) Charge
and emergency ; (iv) Charge only.
THE INDEPENDENT PLANT.
THE reserve of service available to the possessor of an independent plant
has proved of undoubted value to the exhibitor under war conditions
because, while not ignoring the urgent demand for the most stringent economy
in the use of fuel, he is secure in the knowledge of independence of the effects
arising from a sudden failure in the mains supply which, not only may con-
ceivably cause a loss of valuable revenue over a period, but may also interfere
with the provision of entertainment in circumstances where it is most
desirable. Many instances have occurred where a considerable period has
elapsed following air raids before the electricity service has been restored.
A further inducement for the installation of independent plant is the un-
doubted economies which can be effected at a time when the cost of current
from supply undertakings is following the general upward curve in commodity
prices. True, in some cases the basis of the advanced charges has been
adjusted in view of war conditions, but, generally speaking, little considera-
tion has been given to the fact that only a very small proportion of lights are
allowed as compared with that time when existing standing electricty charges
were originally fixed.
When it is appreciated that current can be generated by a diesel engine
at a cost varying from 20 per cent, to 50 per cent, lower than the mains supply
charges, the advantages of an independent plant are apparent, although it is
doubtful whether manufacturers are now in a position to cope with orders
except for forward delivery. The subject, however, is one which should
figure in any arrangements being contemplated in an exhibitor's post-war
plans. The reliability of these power units is testified to by the large num-
bers which, in normal circumstances would have been scrapped, are being
continued in service, and this knowledge may suggest the obtaining of a
second-hand plant. If so, a once-over by, preferably the maker's engineer,
should be insisted upon and an assurance as to the availability of supplies
is an essential precaution.
The question of fuel supplies and storage facilities has also to be con-
sidered. The price of the former has, of course, advanced, but it still
compares favourably with the mains charges, and although the question of
the amount and continuity of suoplies is obviously of immense importance in
current circumstances, at the time of writing there appears little reason to
imagine insuperable difficulties in this direction, although anxiety is under-
standable. In this connection, the possibilities of a gas-operated plant should
be examined, although during war-time damage to the gas mains may
precipitate those consequences which the installation was intended to avoid.
On the other hand, an advantage is that the fuel is indigenous, and for the
moment, uncontrolled, and in addition is one for which the majority of gas
undertakings are prepared to quote low rates for power purposes.
The full benefits of an independent prime mover are derived under
normal conditions which enable the exhibitor vastly to improve the margin
between his own costs and the mains supply charges- for not only need
he discount the possibility of a supply breakdown, but, at very little appre-
ciable increase in costs, he is able to supply current for the most ambitious
decorative and publicity schemes as well as his utility and exterior illumina-
tion. The outlay is confined to his first charges, of purchase and installation,
and where necessary, the engine-room ; beyond these, the outlay is incon-
siderable, for little maintenance is involved, and the attention demanded
amounts to little more than occasional efficient supervision.
H z
228 The Kinematograph Year Book.
The following paragraphs give particulars of standard plants in general
use among kinemas. Operation costs, where given, must be regarded as
merely relative owing to the war's effect upon prices of materials and fuel.
National Gas and Oil Engine Co., Ltd.— Particulars have been published
of the new type of gas engine in which the compression ratio is raised from 6 : 1
to 15 : 1 and the B.M.E.P. is increased from 66 to 110 lb. per sq. inch. The
advantages over previous designs for an engine of the same physical dimen-
sions are, firstly, an increase in power of 50 per cent., and secondly, a reduc-
tion in fuel consumption (per b.h.p. hour) of 35 per cent, where power
rates for gas operate.
A 3-cylinder engine having an output of 27.30 b.h.p. at 1,000 r.p.m.,.
and suitable for a 15-kw. plant, will run at three-quarter load on a consump-
tion of 8,720 B.Th.U. gross per b.h.p. hour. Assuming gas is obtainable at
4d. per therm, the fuel cost is 7d. per hour, which is comparable with the
diesel engine. After making due allowance for other charges, such as lubri-
cating oil, stores, interest and depreciation, the running cost would be con-
siderably lower than the cost of mains electricity in most districts and the
owner would have a reliable independent lighting set.
An example of the economies to be effected by the employment of a
National Diesel engine comes from the King's, Waterfoot, where its installa-
tion reduced electricity costs to £39 a year. The engine drives a 12-kw.
dynamo, the normal load being 8 kw.
THE PROJECTIONIST IN 1941.
ON looking back over the past year it seems that the fears expressed by
exhibitors concerning the loss to the industry of the greater proportion
of its piojection and other technical staff have not been realised, although,
notwithstanding the " blanket " protection which operated, the consistent
drain on man-power to the Forces and the workshops has presented many
problems to kinema management. The general position will deteriorate as
the operation of the National Service Act becomes effective in the early
months of the current year, although there is every evidence that the pro-
visions of the Act will be sympathetically administered, having regard to the
acknowledged importance of the kinema as a means of sustaining morale and
for the dissemination of propaganda. So much was inferred at the various
meetings which took place between the Ministry of Labour and the C.E.A.,
and the opinion was expressed that the nucleus personnel permitted under the
Act would allow the industry to function at least tolerably if the present
situation as regards substitute labour and trainees continues. As things
stand, first projectionists formerly " blanketed " from the age of 25 are now
de-reserved, but come within the block deferment scheme until March 1,
when block deferment ends. Thereafter, appeals for individual deferment
submitted on N.S. 300 will be administered by one of the 44 local allocation
committees. Second projectionists hitherto reserved at the registered age of
35 become de-reserved on a year per month basis, starting January 1, 1942.
Women trainees, as on October 1, 1941, will be reserved provided they qualify
as second projectionists by April 1 . Future women trainees of 31 and upwards
who qualify as first or seconds will also be reserved. Women from 20 to 25
are almost certain to be called up, although probably deferment will be granted
to permit of an agreeable spread-over. From 25 to 30, the situation may be a
little easier. In order to obtain uniformity and to facilitate exhibitor action
in connection with the call-up, Advisory Committees were appointed by
C.E.A. branches to collaborate with the Ministry of Labour's Committee.
These arrangements would appear to safeguard the uninterrupted con-
tinuance of kinema operation, but there still exists the possible drift of trained
operators into better-paid industries or their voluntary recruitment in the
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique 229
kinema branches of the Services, either of which is difficult to arrest. Much of
these troubles would have been minimised had the C.E.A.seen fit in the early
months of the war to institute proper training classes. Suggestions to this
effect were made, but nothing came of them, and G.B. and other circuits
started their own courses of training. Facilities were offered for the co-opera-
tion by independents in the former's scheme, but the response was generally
disappointing. A similar negative attitude was adopted by the General
Council of the C.E.A. in respect of the establishment of a training course
proposed by the Guild of Projectionists. Nor has the N.A.T.K.E. assumed
any responsibility for the education of men and women projectionists. Con-
sequently, there exists no uniformity of training except in one or two provin-
cial centres where the local technical institute has catered for specialised
instruction of this nature, and even in these instances the interest and co-op-
eration of the C.E.A. members has not, with a few exceptions, approached
full collaboration. It is one of the reflections on the Trade's war policy that
it has not endeavoured to meet the situation by holding proper training courses,
and this lack of interest contrasts sharply with the admirable work being
undertaken in two London Polytechnics in the training of men and women
projectionists for the Service film units. It has been found that an average
of a six weeks' intensive course will produce an operator fully competent to run
a projector under supervision. The absence of an official C.E.A. school
has been deplored by far-sighted exhibitors who believe a scheme similar in
principle to that operated by Paul Kimberley in the last war will be found the
only means of satisfactorily dealing with this aspect of our man-power problem.
At one time it appeared as though an attempt would be made to recruit
from kinemas the projectionists and technicians wanted in the Service, and
as a matter of fact, tentative moves were made in this direction, much to the
dismay of exhibitors, but the schemes of the various authorities assumed such
proportions that it was necessary to establish the training schools already
referred to. At the Regent Street Polytechnic the classes are instructed by
R. Howard Cricks, F.R.P.S., the eminent technical contributor to the Kine.
Assisting the instructors are N.C.O.s who were formely chiefs, sound engineers
with studio projectionists. The male trainees are mainly engaged upon 35
mm. projection, both static and mobile.. Women students are handling the
16 mm.
N.A.T.K.E. — A strenuous year's work is again recorded by Tom O'Brien
and the Executive of the N.A.T.K.E., which has successfuly watched the
interests of its members in Service and in employment and has effected a
satisfactory solution of the dilution problem. Although taking a strongly
individualistic line wherever the occasion warranted it, the Union has lent
its powerful support where the good of the Industry or the welfare of the
employees is concerned to the many representations made to the Govern-
ment by the C.E.A, the A.C.T., and other organisations whenever they have
had to contact the appropropriate Ministries. One notable success of the
N.A.T.K.E. was the conclusion of an agreement for the doubling of the war
bonus from the original figure of 1\ per cent. This action was precipitated by
an agreement on similar terms with Odeon Theatres. This raised a storm
of protest among the C.E.A. branches, although the outcome justified the
attitude of the Union Executive, who succeeded in their rigorous demand for
the treatment of the whole question of wages and conditions of kinema
employees upon a national basis instead of having to deal with each branch
in turn. At the end of the year the N.A.T.K.E. gave notice to cancel existing
national war bonus agreement, and applied for an increased bonus, which it
is believed is intended to secure advances which range from 20 per cent, in
respect of wages of £3 and upwards and 25 per cent, below that figure. There
is evidence of some opposition to the proposal fiom exhibitors, but it is
anticipated that the proposals will be agreed to by the C.E.A.

SOUND REPRODUCER SYSTEMS.
British Thomson- Houston Co., Ltd. — Three models of B.T.-H. sound
reproducers are available ; the first, having an undisturbed output of 70
watts, is suitable for theatres seating over 2,500, the second is for theatres
with a capacity between 1,100 and 2,500, and the third and smallest is for
theatres up to 1,100. Each model utilises the new B.T.-H. rotary magnetic
soundhead and dual output arrangements on the amplifier feeding high and
low frequency speakers.
The two larger equipments also incorporate the exclusive " Volume
Expansion " feature, and are the only ones which will reproduce faithfully
the original volume range of sound in spite of the necessary compression of
this range recorded on the film itself.
Special projector stands are provided on which are mounted all the
necessary controls for arcs and soundheads, including arc ammeter and volt-
meter, main contactor switch and pilot light. All controls are thus con-
venient to the operator.
Conversion plant has been eliminated for 50-cycle A.C. supply, and the
static conversion units, together with the whole of the amplifier and all
fuses for the sound equipment, are mounted on the amplifier rack. Thi3
arrangement results in an extremely neat operating box with centralised
control.
G.-B. Equipments, Ltd. — -Despite the fact that the Works of British
Acoustic Films, Ltd., is almost wholly engaged upon Government work, there
is, owing to the forward policy pursued by the designs department, a complete
new series of equipments to announce.
This T. series is offered with three different types of soundheads, the
well-known G.2 and P.T.I, and the P.T.2, which was introduced last year.
" Duosonic " speakers, in three sizes, all with Lansing Shearer dynamic units,
complete the different T. series equipments, of which there are seven versions
for theatres from 800 to 1,800 seats. The amplifying chain in all the T. series
equipments is the completely new S.20 type, which in conception and design
is a? radical departure.
The place of the plurality of units which previously linked the photo-
cells in the soundheads to the speakers is taken, in the S.20 design, by two
units only. The first, of small overall dimensions for accommodation on the
operating box wall between the projectors, comprises in extremely accessible
form and as one electrical unit, two head amplifiers, main fader, changeover
switch, and pre-stage amplifier. The second, of rack construction occupying
the minimum floor space, comprises power amplifier, switch control panel
and exciter lamp current supply units. The rack is designed to give absolute
and immediate accessibility from the front of every component mounted on
it. 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 two per cent, of third or higher harmonic content. Every valve
in the two units is metered, and a separate output valve provides 5 speech
watts for the monitor speaker. Due to the use of cathode coupled cells and
the elimination of iron-cored chokes and transformers from all but the power
output stage, hum level and liability to outside electrical interference is nil.
The overall response of the amplifying chain, interpreted by a Duosonic
Speaker is, in the opinion of its sponsors and of exhibitors who have installed
T. series equipment, the highest level yet reached in the reproduction of sound
films.
VitavOX, Ltd. — Although this firm is now entirely engaged on work of
national importance, it is felt, however, that their clients and potential new
customers would like to learn something of the past and future activities of
Vitavox, Ltd.
During pre-war days they manufactured loudspeakers and associated
equipment for kinema sound reproduction, public address and sound re-
Film Exhibition and, Kincma Technique 231
inforcement for theatre work, and, in addition, high-grade moving-coil micro-
phones, together with an extensive range of stands for use with same, such as
adjustable pedestal, banquet and footlight microphone mountings. These
stands and mountings were fitted with their special resilient shock absorbers
which gave every satisfaction under the most exacting conditions. Mr. E. A.
Blunden, formerfy Chief Engineer of Kamm & Co., of Powell Street, E.C.I,
has joined Vitavox, and accordingly they are able to deal with any enquiries
which relate to the servicing of Kamm, cinema reproducing systems.
A number of new developments in the design of speakers and sound-repro-
ducing equipment is contemplated, which Vitavox hope to place on the market
as soon as times again become normal.
Western Electric CO., Ltd. — Much of the energy and specialized technical
resources of Western Electric are at present given over to the war effort.
For the time being, new sound film equipment is therefore unavailable.
Efficient service and maintenance, always necessities if equipment is to do a
first-class job, are factors of truly vital account in these times. Notwith-
standing present difficulties. Western Electric continues its mission of servicing
and maintaining over 2,000 systems with unremitting devotion. For the
future, research goes on, and with the unparalleled experience of Bell
Telephone Laboratories behind it, one of the greatest centres of specialised
research in the world ensure the embodiment of improvements in sound
reproduction as they become of practical value to the exhibitor.
The steady progress made by Mirrophonic since the introduction of this
system in 1937 is clear evidence of the public's appreciation of high quality
sound. Yet the readiness with which exhibitors have renewed their leases
on old systems, knowing that whenever they 'desire to do so they can modernise
them to Mirrophonic, illustrates how real are the inherent characteristics of
all Western Electric systems : quality of reproduction, reliability, and enduring
fitness for purpose.
R.C.A. Photophone, Ltd. — During the past year R.C.A. Photophone, Ltd.,
have continued to supply and instal R.C.A. High Fidelity sound reproducing
equipments, stocks of which they bad the foresight to lay in shortly after the
outbreak of hostilities. All such equipments, as heretofore, comprised the
well-known rotary stabiliser soundheads and two-way loudspeaker systems.
In addition to installing such equipments in replacement of some of the
earliest models of sound equipment, RCA have also been very active in the
fitting up of kinemas in R.A.F. and Naval camps, and in special Government
preview kinemas.
Despite the calling up of a number of engineers, RCA Photophone, Ltd.,
is still maintaining its service organisation for the benefit of exhibitors, and
continues to render efficient scheduled service calls and prompt emergency
attention. The maintenance service available on High Fidelity equipments
includes the supply of valves, exciter lamps, photo-electric cells, etc., and
other parts which may be required through fair wear and tear, and for which
the company has likewise foreseen future requirements by having laid in a
substantial stock of such parts.
RCA factories in the United States and Canada working day and night
are occupied in meeting the demands of the armed forces of the Democracies,
and both prior to and since the passing of the Lease and Lend Act, millions of
dollars worth of equipment has been supplied to Britain and her Allies.
Meanwhile the development of " Fantasound," RCA's method of stereo-
phonic reproduction has been going forward. It was first introduced to the
American public at the premiere of Disney's " Fantasia " at the Broadway
Theatre, New York City, but owing to equipment and technical difficulties
any wide application of the principle is not likely in the immediate future.
A simplification of the process, however, has been introduced in the RCA
Panoramic Sound System which is applicable to " existing equipment with
but little modification," and moreover, requires only a single film.
232 The Kinematograph Year Book.
Walturdaw Cinema Supply Co., Ltd.— Walturdaw's are maintaining their
sound department primarily to take care of existing installations. While
their sound-head was originally designed to work in conjunction with Zeiss
Ikon projectors, it is, of course, available and suitable for any type of repre-
ducer other than those marketed by Western Electric, RCA, G.-B., etc. .
TECHNICAL ASSOCIATIONS.
British Film Institute. — The activities of the British Film Institute have
been more or less restricted, although considerable work has been done in
encouraging producers, even in war time, to ensure a continuity of educational
films. Meanwhile plans are being prepared for a great extension of this
phase of its work to meet post-war needs. Arrangement and supply of films
to units of the Forces, prisons, A.R.P. shelters, Borstal establishments and
many educational institutions are among the many phases of work in which
the Institute has engaged during the year. The coverage of their wide
activities is the more noteworthy inasmuch as enemy action obliged the
Institute to vacate temporarily its offices last winter. Notwithstanding the
war the work of the travelling organiser has resulted in a small but steady
increase in the use of films in schools. Over 2,750 film programmes were
arranged and the establishment of regional film libraries has proceeded. The
normal objectives of the Institute: (1) the collection of information, (2) its
distribution, and (3) its interpretation, have been carried on. The periodicals,
"Sight and Sound" and the "Monthly Film Bulletin" have continued to
function with success and utility.
British Standards Institution. — Owing to the expansion of its activities
arising from the war, the British Standards Institution has been able to
proceed with the preparation of few of the proposed specifications intended
to apply to Trade apparatus and practice. A proportion of the work of the
Institution carried out in connection with Government Departments possesses,
however, a rather more than general application to the immediate require-
ments of the kinema.
A recent specification (No. 943) gives details of the procedure for
obtaining a speed number for photographic emulsions.
Guild Of British Projectionists. — As other organisations, the Guild has
felt the full impact of war conditions, but the executive have carried on in the
face of their difficulties, and have maintained, as far as possible, the im-
portant educational facilities associated with the organisation, notwith-
standing an inevitable drop in membership. At the annual meeting it was
reported that the senior and junior membership had fallen to 120 and 20
respectively. Consideration has been given to the subject of technical
meetings specially directed to Army projectionists. Proposals have been
submitted to the C.E.A. for the training of projectionists to replace those
who have been called up, but it was alleged that the Exhibitors' Association
appeared uninterested in the technical betterment of the industry and, in
consequence of rebuffs received by the Guild, it was not proposed to go on
any further with the matter. There are signs of renewed interest among
members in the suggestion that the Guild should assume Trade Union status.
It is understood that this swing away from the previous isolation policy of
the Guild will be accelerated once a decision is arrived at as to which of the
Unions shall represent the projectionist. In this connection, provided a
formula can be arrived at without sacrifice of the aims and principles of the
Guild, the claim of the N.A.T.K.E., which has already fully considered the
question, appear to be unchallengeable.
Kinematograph Manufacturers' Association. — In view of the many
problems raised by emergency regulations and restrictions, the war has
revived the activities of the Kinematograph Manufacturers' Association, the
oldest trade organisation, whose Equipment Section are now holding regular
meetings. War time problems call for an increasing measure of co-operation
Film Exhibition and Kinema Technique ' 233
between all sections of the industry and the flow of new regulations has on
several occasions emphasised the necessity of collective approach to the
Government Departments concerned. An instance of the value to the
industry of the Association's activities has been exemplified by the consider-
able work put in in connection with the supply of valves. Membership now
includes most of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of kinema equip-
ment.
The Workers' Film Association have shown increased activity during the
year. In conjunction with the A.C.T., the Association held a very successful
summer school, designed to organise technical assistance to those responsible
for film exhibition and, secondly, to assist those interested in the production
of 16 mm. films for exhibition to working-class audiences. The whole kinema
field was adequately surveyed by a number of competent speakers. Secretary
of the Association is Aid. J. Reeves, who was formerly in the Films Division
of the Ministry of Information.
STEREOSCOPY.
IN the earliest days of colour the argument was advanced that this medium
lends itself more readily than monochrome to the stereoscopic effect. The
presentation last year of the Technicolor film "Moon Over Miami " corrobor-
ated that view, for one or two studio-shot sequences were the nearest approach
to three-dimensional effect yet seen. Although no' technical details were
available, it was obvious that a new type of camera was employed or, alter-
natively, a new lighting technique was responsible for the striking result
achieved. The use of colour in a motion picture affords a much wider
gradation of light and shade, which contributes a degree of perspective, and, to
a certain extent, a pseudo-stereoscopic effect. It will be appreciated that
when a high degree of plane separation is possible as the result of greater depth
of focus, the stereoscopic effect will be correspondingly enhanced. Until
recently the drawback to most colour systems has been their comparatively
shaHow depth of focus.
Speaking to the Association of Engineers in Burma, L. H. Huitt, B.Sc, of
London, revealed details of a novel principle — " foveal circle seaming."
This principle has the virtue of being essentially a kinematographic process,
says R. D. H. Cricks in the Kine., and definitely rejects the method of binocular
vision. The fovea is the centre of the retina, and the part of the image which
falls upon it, is viewed sharply and clearly, and the rest of the image is less
clearly defined. This central point of fixation is continually moving as the
eye scans the object. The method involves the exposure of a single film
through twin optical systems, producing a double image except in the
"foveal" area — the centre of interest in the picture. Furthermore, this
central area is slightly brighter than the rest of the picture, and continually
moves over the picture, in imitation of the natural manner of scanning a scene
with the eye. It is claimed that this method imitated the change of focus
which occurred when the eyes shifted from a near object to something farther
off. Normal film was used in the process and no alteration in projection was
necessary. The only special equipment required was the camera.
Details have appeared of research by Russian scientists into three-dimen-
sional principles. One of the most advanced systems employs two mirrors
placed in front of the objective lens of the camera, which divide the image into
two, these being recorded side by side on the film. A similar mirror is at the
aperture of the projector and the reflection of the double image is projected
on to a grid of radiating wires erected in front of the screen proper. Part of
the light rays from each image are arrested by the grid, the remainder passing
through to the white screen, the difference being that the rays arrested from
one image are those passed through from the other image. When the images
reach the screen the resulting picture is in fan formation, each spoke of which
is an element meant for viewing by the left or right eye. Obvious defects are
the weight of the grid and the necessity on the part of the spectator, if he moves,
to readjust his vision to a new viewpoint.
234 The Kinematograph Year Book.
TELEVISION AND THE KINEMA.
THE demonstration during the year of a new system of stereoscopic tele-
vision by the inventor, JohnL. Baird, is a timely reminder that, although
little enough has been heard of television since reasons of strategy demanded
the cessation of all transmissions, research work of a highly important nature
is still proceeding, and that once the war is over exhibitors will again be called
upon seriously to consider the competition presented by television as a home
entertainment. It is fairly certain that much of the research woik now long
cairied on in furtherance of the National effort will be found to possess a
more or less direct bearing upon many of the problems inherent in the
commercial application of television.
The only fresh television development recorded in this country during
the year was this Baird demonstration, which, although on an experimental
basis involving a home equipment and land-line transmission, did convey in
a restricted degree the illusion of a three-dimensional picture in colour. The
new method is understood to employ the " gratings " system : alternate
veitical lines of the picture represent the images for the right and left eyes,
and in front of the screen is a grating so computed that each eye only sees
those lines comprising the right- and left-hand pictures respectively. A
revolving disc, with blue, red, and green filters is employed as the colour
medium. In its present stage of development it is possible only for one viewer
at a time to see the screened image, and he must remain stationary in one
position at a fixed distance from the screen. The picture is not visible from
an angle.
In America, television, which looked like entering a year of great develop-
ment, is bound to be affected in some degree by the U.S. participation in the war,
although it has been announced that there is no immediate intention of
cutting out transmissions. It is, however, not yet known whether this applies
to stations already operating or merely to new stations which hitherto had
been put on the air experimentally. In any case, there remains the public
attitude to be considered. A survey made in October came to the conclusion
that, despite the fact that television had passed its third month of active
commercial operation, there was a marked decline in public-listening interest.
Research and experiment in television processes have been intensively
carried out in America, and it appeared before the U.S. entry into the war
that there would be little difficulty in making up the leeway from which they
suffered. RCA effected transmission from New York to a relay station 51
miles distant, from which it was relayed over intermediate distances of 17, 23
and 28 miles back to New York. Here, after its journey of 102 miles, it was
picked up on a receiver fitted with a magnifying device and projected upon a
screen 15 ft. by 10 ft. over a throw of 60 ft., which was reported as remarkably
clear in definition and free from unsteadiness. The Columbia Broadcasting
System put over a national colour demonstration to a 1 sq. ft. picture over
a wire transmitter. The use of co-axial cables in various experiments has
proved the practicability of a relay system ensuring chain transmission on a
nation-wide scale.
The RCA theatre set-up referred to was a steel projector placed over
the edge of the balcony with a control desk beside it. The power supply was
a high-voltage rectifier rated at 70,000 volts and normally employing 60,000
volts. The diameter of the projection tube is 7 in., and its length 14 in. The
face of the tube is pointed away from the screen in a steel cylinder 3 ft. long
and 34 in. in diameter. A concave reflecting mirror with a 30-in. diameter
is mounted a few inches away and thus picks up the image and passes it
through a lens system to the screen with a magnification of 45 times. The
optical system has a speed rating of 0 /7, which is claimed to produce a high
standard of screen illumination. Speakers on the Tantasound System, person-
ally operated, were installed in the auditorium.

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.
CALCULATING ARC RESISTANCES.
The value of a resistance R to pass a given current C at voltage V is
expressed, according to Ohm's law, by the formula —
In calculating arc resistances, however, the value of the back voltage A
of the arc must, be considered. This may be reckoned as 45 volts for low-
intensity arcs, and for high-intensity from 25 volts for a horizontal-negative
mirror arc or 40 for an inclined-negative mirror arc, up to 65 or 70 volts for
rotating-positive arc. The formula then becomes —
R--c~
The earlier studs of a resistance should be so computed as to allow the
arc to be struck on not more than one-third of its full current.
ORDINARY FILM CEMENT.
Amyl 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.

The current ratings given above refer to the normal maximum current of the circuit, and do not
refer to the overload at which the cut-out will operate.
The full normal load on a fuse should be two-thirds of its fusing load. For arcs, use copper
fuses rated at double normal current to allow for striking. On motor circuits the allowance will
depend upon the starting current. Allow 50 to 100 per cent, for D.C. motors or A.C. repulsion-
induction motors, four times for wound induction motors, six to eight times for squirrel-cage. On
3-phase motor circuits always fuse heavily.

BRITISH PRODUCTION
Studio Work in 1941
By A. L. Carter.
THE difficulties experienced by British producers during their first
year of war-time operation were intensified during 194!. In the
early months of the year the studios had to contend with enemy
activity which caused destruction at two studios and constantly
sent technical units and artistes to cover while the blitz roared overhead.
These factors became a commonplace of production in those days, and yet
production not only carried on with the minimum of interruption, but actually
resulted in an output which was generally of considerably higher quality
than ever before, and in a series of technical advances which have won for
our studio workers the tribute of expert recognition. Both American and
Canadian sources have praised the efforts of our studios not merely in main-
taining production, but in achieving so great an improvement in its technical
attributes. Looking back over the past months, the wonder grows that
they were able to do so in spite of the call up of technicians and artistes, the
shortage of studio space and the restriction on materials which necessitated
the observance of the strictest economies.
Official figures for the registration of British films during the current
period, but it is estimated that in the 12 months ended December 31 there
were 56 features produced as compared with 55 during 1940. The Board of
Trade returns made up at the end of April gave the following details of registra-
tion : —
'Foreign British
Long. Long.
1940/41 .... 400 65
1939/40 .. .. 379 108
1938/39 .. .. 535 103
The average number of British pictures shown during the year ended
September 30, 1940, represented a quarter of exhibitors' programmes, a
fact which is significant of the change of attitude among our exhibitors to
home-made pictures. It shows that the steady improvement in quality of
British films has converted not only the Trade but also the public from their
former prejudice and that now our films form an integral part of the life of
the nation. To-day the British studio is a fair reflection of the nation, and
no greater testimony to the confidence in our future can be forthcoming than
the plans now in hand for the production of new subjects which will never
again sacrifice quality to quantity. The manner in which studio executives
have turned the existing situation to their advantage merits the warmest
praise for their energy, foresight, and, above all, courage. It has
needed all these qualities to combat the restrictive repercussions of the
national war effort, the most serious being the withdrawal of labour, which
caused a drop in the number of persons employed in the studios and the
laboratories from 3,500 to 4,000 to 1,500. It was the fear that the Govern-
ment demands would yet further reduce this personnel that precipitated a
series of some of the strongest protests ever addressed to the Government by
an Industry. It was pointed out that any further diminution would prevent
British producers from carrying on with either their normal commercial
product or the preparation of training and propaganda films and consequently

would neutralise the Government's avowed intention to maintain a healthy,
though necessarily restricted, Industry. Happily these anticipations were
not justified. The Government agreed to a " token " withdrawal of labour,
and the year 1942 opens with the producers in the satisfactory position of
knowing that, for the time being at least, the labour position has been
stabilised. At the same time, the Government has afforded recognition of
the difficulties of the Industry and their inability to meet the quota require-
ments by the expedient of stabilising the obligations of both renters and
exhibitors at 20 and 15 per cent, respectively for the next three years. And
in this connection it is significant, as indicating the producers' appreciation
of their own and the national position, that the reduction in the quota was
effected without protest from any of the parties concerned. Probably the
work of the producers would have been rendered still easier had practical
consideration been given to the scheme of co-operation covering studios,
staff and personnel. Anxiety is also being expressed by the constantly
rising charges for studio rentals.
Films Council's Recommendation. — The situation was very adequately
summed up in the report of the Films Council — the Advisory Committee
set up by the Films Act of 1937 — the most important conclusion arrived at
being the need for a planned scheme of production. Among the recom-
mendations made to the President of the Board of Trade was a demand that
plans should be made at once to provide a nucleus of the Industry with a
war status which can adequately protect to a certain agreed level the main-
tenance of man-power, studio space and supplies. The diversion of the
Industry's man-power to other war work was fully discussed in the report,
which also referred at length to the difficulty of fulfilling the quota require-
ments of the Act. Allusion was made to the failure of the Council's previous
suggestion that the situation might be eased by the modification of some
trade practices, and recommended that a decision as regards quota should
be withheld until the end of the quota year, when it would be better known
what films were available. Attention was also called to the lack of organised
co-operation between the various Government departments concerned in
film production. The view was expressed that with careful planning, studio
space at present available should be sufficient for all production in the present
emergency conditions.
The advice tendered that constructive plans should bs prepared to meet
possible future requirements was not ignored by authority, for in their
approaches to the Government the British Film Producers' Association had
the powerful assistance of Brendan Bracken, Minister of Information, who
in October suggested that producers should formulate their production
schedules as early as possible. This information, he suggested, should be
embodied in a return covering the next 12 months, and should include details
of personnel, artistes and studio space and particulars of any particular pro-
duction snags experienced, especially in respect of key personnel.
Productions in 1942. — As the direct result of this invitation, a schedule
was prepared showing 76 subjects planned to be made during the first nine
months of the current year. The making of this number of films, it was pointed
out, depends upon two factors : (a) The temporary release from the Forces of
directors and actors who have been selected to direct, or interpret various
roles ; and (b) the studio space being available.
This last matter has proved . another headache for producers who have
consistently made representations to the Government for the release of
space in officially occupied studios — "highly-organised establishments were
taken over at the shortest of notice and turned into provision dumps." The
reopening during the year of the G.-B.-Gainsborough plant, at Islington, and
of the Riverside studios, at Hammersmith, by Jack Buchanan, was a small
alleviation of the position, but it became evident that if the entertainment
picture was not to be sacrificed to the Government-sponsored film additional
British Production. 277
facilities were absolutely essential. In the latter part of the period a partail
easement was forthcoming in the formation of a scheme, for the co-ordination
of Government film production including both propaganda and training films.
This has resulted in the reopening of one stage of the Pinewood studios and
the use of the Wembley plant, which, however, had also been used by Ealing,
and others, during the year. Service film units, including the R.A.F., the Army,
and M. of I., and eventually the Royal Navy, are concerned in the scheme
which also comprises the Crown Film Unit. Feature-length films for the
various Services in which only Service men will take part, are planned. At
jWembley, which has been housing the Soviet War News, the Army Film
Unit are concentrating on training films, and at Pinewood the Crown Film
Unit, hitherto at Denham, will continue its specialised productions. The
R.A.F., and ultimately the Navy Film Units, will also function here. Although
the M. of I. is associated with the scheme there is intended to be no inter-
ference with regard to the independent production of their 5-minute short films.
The establishment of these Service Units was not enthusiastically received
in all quarters. It was pointed out by Michael Balcon that a result the pro-
ducers had to face was a series of official encroachments and the absorption
of studio personnel into the Crown Film Unit and other Service units, for
which there was no guarantee that the output would be limited to shorts.
Indeed, the success of two features, " Target for To-night " and " Men of the
Lightships " might very likely inspire the making of more films of this stamp.
Another point made was that these units have as their chief executives men
who were not producing big features before the war, and there was not an
unnatural feeling that the general standard of British production may suffer
from the lack of high-grade leaders if these specialised units develop into the
producers of long films.
The Quota Reduction. — The figures of proposed production submitted by
the Producers' Association must be regarded as a maximum, because it is
impossible that the Government, even with the bast intentions, can restore
to the studios facilities which will enable 76 entertainmsnt films to b3 pro-
duced during the current year. If this were possible of fulfilment, there would
be little need for anxiety as regards the satisfaction of the quota provisions ;
consequently the modification of the latter infers that the realists among
official circles themselves are not too sanguine of the maintenance of enter-
tainment production even at its present level. It may be that while no further
diminution in personnel is intended, more of it may be diverted to the making
of training and other Service films and propaganda subjects, the_ production
of which has risen to amazing heights, the average estimated footage exceeding
1,000,000 a week. The scope of these activities entail a severe demand on
floor space and in man-power, already restricted to the unexpandible minimum.
These figured among the deciding factors (supplemented by the inability
of the exhibitors to meet the full requirements of the Act) which impelled the
Government to modify the Quota figures. The case for the amendment was
succinctly placed before the House of Commons by Capt. Waterhouse, Parlia-
mentary Secretary of the Board of Trade. He pointed out that a good many
studios had been taken over, a certain amount of labour had been drafted
away, and last, but not least, the Government were making considerable
demands on the kirtema Industry for the production of technical and in-
structional films which did not affect the quota at all, the last thing the
Board of Trade wished.
Production Insurance. — One measure of Government assistance — the
insurance of a film in production — was one of the greatest contributory
factors to the continuance of the Industry since it safeguarded the financial
interest in the negative. Since the start of the war the question of insurance
of a partly completed film had been a matter of very serious concern to
British producers, but it was not until September that an arrangement was
reached with the Government which dispelled the considerable uncertainty
which existed.
278 The Kincmatogvaph Year Book.
Quality Pictures. — A survey of this year's product indicates that in
operation the Films Act continues to justify the declared anticipation of its
sponsors that "it provides a flow of pictures and to do so was to curtail
the Trade in any way." It must be admitted that authority has endeavoured
to implement the assurance. The Services during the past year have been
more than helpful in granting temporary release for men, affording facilities
for filming, and generally, according to the industry, at least a token measure
of aid which nevertheless has proved extremely valuable. Superior quality,
even though the ultimate quantity might be reduced, has been generally the
goal of our producers, and the improvement applies not, as in the past, to
one or two outstanding and extravagantly budgeted films, but to a far wider
circle of productions. Whether a similar result would have been achieved
without the spur applied by war-time exigencies is difficult to say. It must
be pointed out, however, that this desirable position of war-time production has
been reached only by jettisoning the old peace-time mentality which either
associated production with prodigality or economy with quickies. A mean
between these two extremes has been successfully established. The problem
of the feature production has been solved, not by skimping production,
but rather by intelligent and accurate budgeting. This policy has been
reflected not only in the splendid quality of war-time production but also
in the fact that soundly-conceived schedules have found little difficulty in
attracting the necessary finance, a rehabilitation of the financial prestige of
British producers which enables the prospect of a healthy post-war industry
to be regarded with certainty.
An example of the beneficial effect of this stabilisation of the economic
structure has been the rapid progress of British National Pictures, who have
been responsible for a larger measure of consistent production than any other
single company, a record which has been achieved by George Parish without
any sacrifice of quality ; indeed, the distribution arrangements in the U.S.
and Canada have proved highly satisfactory. Even more significant is
the widening influence of J. A. Rank and C. M. Woolf, whose previous associa-
tion with production has been of incalculable benefit to the industry. Their
control of vast circuit distribution facilities in addition to studio and produc-
tion interests may very well lead to a revolution in the scope and application
of British production. Already they are gathering around them the cream of
the independents such as Paul Soskin and Leslie Howard, both of whom
are responsible for major productions of the year. These are complementary
to the activities of the G.-B. -Gainsborough plants at Shepherd's Bush and
Islington, the latter of which, reopened in 1941, after having been closed
for two years, provided some easement of the scarcity of studio space ; the
latter even more than man-power shortage will limit the possible production
plans of the Rank-Woolf organisation, because a certain amount of letting
and the Twentieth-Century — Gainsborough contract still further reduces
the studio facilities available. A similar situation occurs at Denham, where it
is necessary to make reservation of floors some months ahead.
At one time, before the entry of America into the war, there seemed a
distinct probability of a considerable extension of direct production by U.S.
companies who would finance their programmes of high-grade pictures with '
the use of the frozen credits of American renting concerns held over here. It
was authoritatively stated that consideration had been given to the diversion
of a proportion of this very considerable sum (the amount of £1,000,000 was
mentioned). The view was expressed that this step would prove of benefit
both nationally and economically ; moreover, it would enable America to
avail themselves of the lower production costs in this country, even in war time.
Pictures costing between £100,000 and £200,000 were encouraged by E. T.
Carr, of United Artists, and there was evidence that M-G-M would resume
direct production. It is, however, likely that these spectacular proposals will
be held, for the moment, at least in abeyance. Meanwhile, RKO-Radio have
proceeded uninterruptedly with their programme of British films, and
British Production. 279
Twentieth-Century had sponsored " The Young Mr. Pitt," one of the most
ambitious subjects ever to be made here. The big picture policy under direct
control has also been adopted by Warner Bros, at Teddington with eminently
satisfactory results. The resumption by Two Cities Films of production
synchronised with an important tie up with Columbia, whose expansion of
British production activities warranted the return of Joseph Friedman,
the managing director, to take personal control. Another Grade A feature
handled by this firm was an important George Formby film. A notable range
of pictures of exceptional quality and mostly of topical interest have been
made at Faling under that organisation's releasing contract with United
Artists. Josef Somlo, who has done much good work, is allied with British
Lion, and mention must also be made of the highly-praised production by
I. Goldsmith of " The Stars Look Down," the technical merits of which were
universally admitted. Pascal, whose " Major Barbara " was one of the
hits last year, is in America and speaks of an affiliation with United Artists
for his subsequent pictures, some of which possibly will be made in U.S.
A suggestion that he might use a Canadian plant does not appear to have
progressed. As M-G-M-British is unlikely to function for some while,
meanwhile independent producers are looking after the company's British
requirements ; in this connection a particularly interesting subject will be
" Thunder Rock," to be made on a top-budget by John and Roy Boulting.
George King and John Stafford, who originated the production of the " First
of the Few," have scheduled three important productions, each dealing
with a war theme. In addition to these programmes, production will be
maintained by other well-established companies. Welwyn studios have been
in continuous use, and anticipate no " let up." Butcher's, who have satis-
factorily solved the problem caused by the requisitioning of Walton Studios
by operating at Burgh Island, Devon, where a small, though efficient, studio
has been established by A. Nettlefold and by leasing other studio space.
The Riverside plant at Hammersmith has been acquired by Jack Buchanan —
a welcome addition to metropolitan facilities and A.B.F.D. and Signet Films
have entered into a contract for production.
THE SHORT FILM.
Klsewhere in this work there is an appreciation of the work of the docu-
mentary film units, the operation of which has been the most distinctive and
heartening development of post-war production. At one period no fewer
than 14 studios were engaged on the production of M. of I. shorts alone. The
work of these talented specialists, carried out on severely restricted budgets,
and with fewer facilities probably than the feature producers, has had con-
siderable influence upon all phases of war production, and will obviously
influence to a yet greater extent our post-war film activities. As P. L.
Mannock, film critic of the Daily Herald, points out, the documentary director
possesses a clearer idea of a normal British citizen than his opposite number
on the feature side, and it is noteworthy that many professional actors who
appear in documentary subjects seem to be more natural in these factual roles
than they have ever been. Conversely, the performance of the ordinary man
doing his job, whether in the Services, or elsewhere, is, generally speaking, fully
comparable with the best work of the professional. Those who have seen
those two outstanding documentary features, " Target for To-night " and
"" Men of the Lighthouse," will appreciate the excellence of the characterisation
contributed by amateurs.
The preponderance of the documentary propaganda subjects and the M. of I.
specialised shorts has rather overshadowed the good work done by the maker
of the theatrical short, but the advances witnessed in the professed propa-
ganda article are observable in the other, with the result that the reputation
of the British short has been increased to such an extent that in certain
directions they invite favourable comparison with the American product.
Although an)' subject which necessitates an extraordinary budget such as
280 The Kinematograph Year Book.
musicals, is obviously beyond the scope of our producers. Although much
of the remarkable increase in shorts is the result of war demands, credit is
also due to the enterprise of the producers in not being content simply to
avail themselves of the benefit of the Quota, but have stepped up production
and, with it, quality to a record degree.
Clothes Rationing. — Fears that the Clothes Rationing Order would adversely
affect the quality of dressing in British productions were not substantiated
for the Board of Trade made such essential modifications in the Order that,
beyond ensuring that there is no unnecessary extravagance, little hardship
is inflicted. The necessary coupons are issued subject to the certificate of the
British Film Producers' Association, and arrangements are made for the hire and
renovation of clothing by a Costumiers' Sub-Committee. Where artistes' own
clothing is destroyed during work, coupons for replacement will be issued
on the certificate of the Association.
British Film Producers' Association. — The many problems associated with
production under war conditions has provided an anxious and busy year for
this society, the successor of the former British Film Production Association,
which was wound up in 1940. In consequence it was found necessary to
make the organisation more fully representative of producing interests. A
new constitution embodying the scope of the Association and its aims were
drafted. C. M. Woolf is the first president of the reconstructed organisation.
A.C.T. — A vigorous forward policy has been pursued by the Association
of Cine-Technicians. Many agreements in respect of wages and conditions
have been successfully effected, and the cost of living bonus has been applied,
after arbitration, to the laboratories. While it is reported that individual' '
in the main observe A.C.T. rates and general working conditions, it has nos
been possible to sign a collective agreement with the British Film Producerst
Association. The A.C.T. joined in the representations made by the joint
Trade panel on the man-power question and has been consulted frequently
by the Services in their requirements for technicians. The present member-
ship is 1,563 (382 serving), the largest in the Union's history. A war
emergency membership class has been instituted, and the A.C.T. promises
to endeavour to absorb all technicians in the post-war Industry.
A resolution was passed at the Annual Meeting of the A.C.T. advocating
the complete nationalisation of the Industry. Chief points in- the report
were : (1) A State production enterprise ; (2) a State distribution organisa-
tion ; (3) State studios and laboratories ; (4) a film credit organisation.
These, it was urged, should be accompanied by labour representation on the
controlling committees, democratic organisation of the views of the public,
and minimum standard conditions.
A lengthy memorandum dealing with the problems of the Industry and
indicating how best, in the view of the A.C.T., they should be met was sub-
mitted by the Union to the British Film Producers' Association and producing
companies. The setting up of joint committees to ensure full co-operation
on questions of man-power and efficiency, suggestions concerning work in
the studios, criticism of Board of Trade schedules, were among matters
contained in the report.
The " closed shop principle " was voted for by a meeting of British
Film Artists at which an attack was made on the employment of foreign
artists. Demands for 100 per cent. Trade Unionism throughout the Industry
were made.
FILM STOCK.
THF entry of Japan into the war has caused some concern because of
the possible effect upon the celluloid base situation. The American
demand for raw stock is likely to reach enormous proportions. Raw stock
position in this country is by no means satisfactory as a result of the need to
conserve imports as complicated by the increasing use of the film in the
propaganda and training field. It is feared, consequently, that a drastic

readjustment of the situation may be necessary to meet the new situation.
Even before the Japan coup the Government was seeking means to economise
in the use of film stock, and it is highly probable that an early opportunity will
be taken to review the position arising from existing circumstances. It is
authoritatively stated that the film stock problem is likely to become the
biggest one of the war for the trade. Consequently it has been found necessaiy
by Kodak to keep a recoixl of the use to which all stock supplied is put.
Np new type of film stocks has been introduced to this country during the
year, although in America researches continue as regards the perfection of
extremely fast emulsions. Cameramen, however, have availed themselves
to the full of the Super Kodak XX, introduced last year. Results have proved
eminently satisfactory, and there appears to have been little trouble in respect
to the adaptation of studio illumination rendered necessary by the high speed
of the film. The continued demand for the Ilford product continues to be
noticeable., the advantages of the Panchromatic Stock Series II commending
it to many cameramen.
Even more serious is the situation in respect to supplies of sub-standard
stock. There is a woild shoitage of acetate base. Owing to the phenomenal
increase in sub-standard work, the British technician has intensified his interest
in the emulsion requirements of the sub-standard film, which demand the use
of a fine grain in order to permit of much clearer recording in the higher
frequencies. In America, progress in this direction has been recorded by
Kodak and Dupont, and over here Ilford have introduced a fine-grain record-
ing emulsion which has proved successful.
Ilford Ltd. — The sensitivity characteristic of the Ilford Panchromatic
Stock Series II, combined with its greater latitude, extreme fineness of grain
and non-halation base, contribute to a very versatile negative, the advantages
of which are fully appreciated. Increased use has been made during the year
of the Ilford infra-red stock, well known for its qualities of haze penetration,
and which, with the aid of the special infra-red filter, is used for obtaining
night effects by daylight. The positive is either acetate or nitrate, the latter
possessing several good characteristics. It. is obtainable in 14 tints, and the
clear sound track, a special feature of this tinted stock, ensures lack of com-
plications in sound reproduction. The new Ilford H.R., or " High Resolu-
tion " emulsion are being coated in 16-mm. films which will conveniently
afford a very considerable improvement both in reduced ground noise and in
improved definition of the higher sound frequencies.
Kodak, Ltd. — War conditions have prevented the introduction to this
country by Kodak of new film types, and obviously it is unlikely that any
great change in the company's products will take place under the prevailing
circumstances. A survey of the year's productions at home and abroad
indicate that during the past year the majority of productions in England
and the U.S.A. were made on Kodak Plus X motion picture .negative material,
although a number of pictures were made using Super XX as the camera
negative.
In the U.S.A. a fine grain release positive, code number 1302, is now
being used in considerable quantities, and a fine grain sound recording film"
is also among new developments. However, the use of these fine grain
materials will require extensive changes to laboratory equipment and, as
previously stated, these new products will not in consequence be manu-
factured in this country until after the war. Despite the trying conditions,
the Kodak motion picture film products maintained their world-wide reputa-
tion for uniformity and dependability.
Importance Of Film-stOCk Salvage. — The recovery of the waste materials
of the Kinematogiaph and photogiaphic industiies is of extreme importance
at the present time. This work does not receive the publicity of such nation-
wide schemes as, for example, the paper salvage campaign, for the simple
reason that, owing to the efforts of such firms as H. A. Gregory & Co., Ltd.,
British Production. 283
the collection and treatment of waste film, etc., are already highly efficiently
organised and consequently little publicity is needed. The fact remains,
however, that this is salvage work of the first order.
H. A. Gregory & Co., Ltd., are specialists in this recovery, and it is of
particular interest to note that the basic materials resultant from their
processing of him waste are utilised in many ways directly concerned, with the
war. The actual film base, after treatment, is passed to firms engaged on
direct Government orders, and who use the material in their work in execution
of Admiralty, Wai Office, and Air Ministry contracts. The silver recoveiy
also plays its part, and practically all of the metal so recovered is used for
work in connection with the Admiralty.
The Trade generally knows that the removal of waste film is a real and
valuable service; and it is satisfactory to learn that Gregory's are continuing
this service, despite present day difficulties, and, at the same time, the war
effort is being materially assisted.
Another firm which possesses every facility for the treatment of junk film
and salvage is R. Arton's, Ltd., who have long been specialists in this
department.
A Technical Achievement. — It was generally conceded by British pro-
duction experts and critics that " Citizen Kane," the creation of Orson
Welles, was a subject of major distinction, and represents the greatest advances
in the technique of black-and-white production yet recorded. The film was
hailed as intelligent in every phase of its production — -its photography, sound,
story, conception and action. Photography displays disregard for accepted
practice, relying upon " stopping down " with the fullest use of super-speed
emulsions. Dramatic and pictorial appeal rested upon the adoption of this
" all-in focus " technique based applicably upon natural effects in place of the
super illumination employed in most modern films. Indeed, in the majority
of sets no overhead lighting was used — -everything was lit from the floor. Deep
sets with low ceilings called for lighting units with greater penetrating power
than usually employed, including the new twin-arc broadside for use on
Technicolor, 150-amp. arc spots and a few juniors and seniors. Lens speed
was increased between half a stop and a stop, by adopting the coated lens
system, which, by eliminating flare and internal reflection, resulted in marked
increase in definition. On the sound side, equal thought was given to attaining
distance or " directional " sound. Though experimental in most of its aspects,
" Citizen Kane " provided the production industry on both sides of the
Atlantic with a revolutionary new stimulus, the lessons of which it is obvious
will not be ignored.
The lesson provided by the Orson Welles' film will not be ignored by
British technicians. Indeed, the first experiment employing " stopping
down " to f /4.5 was made at Denham a month or so after its presentation by
cameraman Mutz Greenbaum and director Herbert Willcox in the Amy
Johnson film, " They Fly Alone."
The essence of the new technique is contained in the use of the coated
lens, which is regarded as an outstanding contribution to the work of the
cameraman. In " Citizen Kane," the RCA " Magicote " lens was employed,
the process involving the application of a thin, durable, transparent film to
glass to air surfaces of anastigmatic lenses, cutting down light reflections
which normally reduce lens speed. A similar process had been used in photo-
graphing " Gone with the Wind," and also by Paramount.
Bell and Howell. — There has been no essential difference in the funda-
mental design of the standard Bell and Howard studio camera, which is now
fitted with the latest developments, the new focussing method, and the sliding
device which provides a modern quick-action shift from visual focussing. The
particular principles of the camera make it of great utility for background
work in optical projection. The accuracy of registration provided by the
camera and its durability enable it to hold its reputation as one of the most
successful machines ever designed,
284 The Kinematograph Year Book
James A. Sinclair & Co., Ltd. — The demand for the "N.S." Auto Kine.
cameras has vastly exceeded the works' output in the current year, for it
has now been abundantly realised that this range of cameras is particularly
suitable and useful for topical, news-reel, documentary and like work. The
Model E is the latest development, and allows the fitting of lenses of focal
length from 1 in. upwards, automatic lock of the film at the conclusion of a
shot, and an improved releasing device for the mechanism. Each lens on
the Model E is mounted on a separate panel, easily and expeditiously remov-
able ; whilst the focussing sight, which shows the full frame the right way up
and the right way round, is now built in with the eye-piece brought ud to a
convenient point on the camera side.
It is anticipated that the Model E and the Model D will be the staple
output. The latter is the Turret type, carrying four lenses, and with the unusual
feature that the turret can be rotated without removing the 1 in. lens. At
the moment, only priority orders can be accepted and even then delay in
delivery is inevitable.
W. Vinten, Ltd. — Notwithstanding that the main resources of the company
are concentrated upon the war effort, they still do not neglect the requirements
of both studio and laboratory departments of the Industry. Many cameras
and instruments; both special prototypes and standard, are being produced
in the Vinten workshops, but their further development obviously cannot
be proceeded with at the present moment. This applies, of course, to the
new studio camera upon which W. Vinten have been working, which cannot
yet be put into production. Considerable interest, however, is being evinced
in the design, which incorporates several entirely new features, including
reflex shutter. The year has shown no decrease in the popularity of their
well-tried Model " H " camera, which particularly is in demand by the Services
and in the Indian market. The requirements of war research have naturally
also witnessed an increased demand for the firm's high-speed cameras — -the
3,000 p.p.s. and 300 p.p.s. — both of which have been considerably improved.
The former, which runs 400 ft. of films at full speed, has been employed for
the solution of many interesting problems involving high-speed machinery.
A feature of the latter camera, of course, is the comparatively lengthy shots
available at high speeds — i.e., 10 seconds at 275 p. p.m. Meanwhile, Vinten's
friends in the trade are assured that their service is as efficient and, as far as
possible, as expedient as at any time in the past.
STUDIO ILLUMINATION.
LIGHT technique has a tendency to run in cycles, following closely, as
would be expected, changes and improvements in negative stock.
Previous cycles include the introduction of large-wattage bulbs to meet the
needs of the early panchromatic stock and the improved and silent arcs
which followed the new three-colour Technicolor. As sensitivity of emulsions
made great strides, the size of the lighting unit proportionally decreased
until the revolutionary 150-watt Frensel lens unit made its appearance. This
first found use in Hollywood for studio portraits at the Warner plant. Coated
lenses with their increased depth of focus again changed lighting technique,
due entirely to the impossibility of using diffusing media on the camera — as
its use reverted the lens to its /. stop prior to the application of the Fluoride
coating — and new lighting methods had to be evolved. This unexpected
snag was overcome either by increasing the amount of diffusion of the lighting
units or using smaller units controlled by small resistances, a method now in
general use both here and in Hollywood.
Fluorescent lamps have also undergone development, and many of the
newer forms have found increasing use in the production field, chiefly in the
make-up and art departments. Several, however, are of beneficial use in
Technicolor production and have been used both for close-up work, due to
British Production. 285
the greatly diffused nature of the light emitted by these lamps, and for colour
effects in musical films. Unfortunately, owing to war-time restrictions, it
has been found impossible to obtain sufficient quantities for any serious
application in our own studios.
The chief problem of illumination in the British studios during the past
year has been the ever present one of conserving the large-wattage bulbs.
Many studios have removed the small mirrors from their units, as this lengthens
the life of the lamp by preventing the distortion of the bulb, the common
cause of breakages. Considering the difficulties under which our technicians
are now working, it says something for their ingenuity that we have been
able to equal any new lighting methods introduced by Hollywood. No
doubt the present year will slow down lighting advances, as Hollywood is
now concerned with similar war-time restrictions to our own.
With the current decrease in general illumination and, in particular, in
key lighting, many American studios appear to favour the use of many
small light sources from 150 watts upwards instead of the great flood of light
previously employed. Improved lighting units, faster lenses, and the faster
emulsions already referred to make this trend practical. New low wattage
lighting units were devised for these requirements, but the problem of bal-
ancing front lights remained. This was partly overcome by the use of small
plate-type dimmers by means of which the lamps would be given a range of
lighting control that eliminated the use of diffusing media. Recently, Warner
Bros., Hollywood Studios, perfected a lighting intensity control board for
use with small wattage lamps. It consists of a console containing a bank
of dummies having built-in ballast, which meets all requirements. A detailed
description of this lighting intensity control appeared in Kine. on October 2 .
R. R. Beard, Ltd. — In the past two or three years this firm, one of
the oldest in the business, has made many innovations both in arc and "inkie "
equipment. Anticipating the trend of emulsion manufacture towards
higher speed stocks, their new range of lighting units were designed to meet
those needs with great success. This anticipation his been amply rewarded,
and the small and baby type units are in great demand. The 500- watt baby
spot, the " match-box " unit in sizes to accommodate lamps from 100-250 watts
fills a real need in modern studio technique together with the special
collapsible stand designed for .speedy movement.
On the arc equipment further minor modifications have been made, and
the crater- volt stabiliser has made the range the best in the world. The arc
mechanism is completely mounted on a special end plate and held in position
in the lamp-house by four master bolts provided with winged nuts. The
mechanical drive for rotating the carbons is mounted at the rear of the
housing on the master plate, and, being totally enclosed, ensures silence, an
important point in recording. Provision is made for rotating a 16-mm.
positive and 11-mm. negative copper-coated negative at 14 r. p.m. for the
production of a symmetrical crater. To overcome voltage fluctuation
difficulties, particularly in arc operation, an effective piece of apparatus,
known as the crater-volt stabiliser, can be brought into action by external
plug connection on the end control plate. A noiseless knife-action switch
ensures complete silence of light changes during quiet passages of dialogue
The range of "inkie" equipment includes a 1,000-watt spot fitted with a
prismatic lens. A special fitment enables the unit to be used as low as 6 in.
from the floor level for low-angle lighting. A combined lantern and spotlight
provided with a havily built arc of 80-amp. capacity and an " iris " diaphragm
is another recente development.
General Electric Co., Ltd. — The range of equipment which was developed
by the company after extensive research for studio work is, in spite of the many
recent changes in technique, wc 11 within the requirements of modern kinemato-
graphy. Stopping down on normal production has created a demand for small
286 The Kinematograph Year Book.
lighting units, and the G.E.C. range includes a 500-watt spot with a prismatic
lens and a pre-set mirror setting and burning an Osram bipost lamp which
is ideal for close-up and general work.
Single and twin light 750-watts, broad using heavy diffusion, can be
utilised for wider field illumination with the faster stocks, and mingle
well with the light from " baby " spots. Lighting units for overhead spot
rails consist of the heavy-duty cast aluminium unit fitted with a 10-in.
" leak-light " proof prismatic lens, using a spheroidal backing mirror in a
pre-set lamp base. Two alternative mirrors are obtainable — -the glass type,
having a specially heavy silvering, or the metallic type, using the drawn
copper heavy-gauge rhodium-plated mirror. The latter is the one most
generally used, and stands up indefinitely to rough studio treatment. Con-
struction of the 5-kw. type is unusual, but has proved valuable in confined
space; it is a square unit fitted with a 16-in. square prismatic lens, giving a
13-ft. spread at only 10 ft. When working with super-speed emulsions
both this and the '2-kw. unit can be fitted with smaller wattage lamps having
the same optical centres — i.e., the 2-kw. can be used with a 1-kw. bipost lamp
having the same filament height from the lamp base to the centre of the
mirror, as the more usual 2-kw. bipost lamp. A 2-kw. unit, now known
familiarly as the "pudding basin," incorporating a special spill light device
in the form of cone louvres fitted between the' lamp and the special diffused
front glass, was originally an experimental device designed to produce light
of very high intensity over a comparatively large area from a long throw.
-It has, however, proved highly successful for general set lighting in normal
production, particularly in small studios.
Overhead bank lighting is still a major requirement in studio practice,
and the G.E.C. angle type, using 12 1,000 or 1,500 watt lamps is ideal.
Mole-Richardson (England), Ltd. — The activities of this well-known firm
of studio lighting specialists have been curtailed owing to the war. No new
equipment is being manufactured until after the end of hostilities, although
research work has not been neglected. Meanwhile, the line department con-
tinues to function to meet the demand for those existing types of equipment
which have proved so efficient, both in this country and in America. This
equipment includes the " Du-Arc " (Type 40), an improved twin-arc broad-
side lamp, which has been extensively used at Denham. This lamp gives a
perfectly flickerless light of high intensity and contributes to the production
efficiency by burning continuously for long periods without need to adjust
or replace the carbons. The lamp can be burned in any position and is silent
in operation. For floor work, a pedestal has been evolved, which has a range
of height adjustment from a minimum of 4 ft. 6 in. from the floor to a maximum
of 8 ft. The well-known M.-R. " H.I. Arcs " and " Solarspots " are other
interesting units.
SPECIAL EFFECTS WORK.
THE advances in the technical departments of British studios have been
the most remarkable feature of the year's operations, particularly when
it is remembered the circumstances under which our technicians labour in the
present emergency. These developments have received the highest meed
of praise from American and Canadian production experts. An instance of
this was forthcoming when the Goldsmith production of " The Stars Took
Down " was shown. Lighting by Mutz Greenbaum, camerawork by Henry
Harris, and art direction by James Carter were all highly praised, with the
agreeable inference that technically the production is on a par with the best
Hollywood product.
The war time restrictions have also afforded opportunities to the special
effects workers of which they have fully availed themselves. They have
shown what they can do in the way of supplying backgrounds and an authentic
atmosphere in circumstances which restrict exterior work and the curtailment
British Product ion. 287
of those production facilities which normally would be essential. Since the
war these deficiencies have been largely made good by the process technicians,
who have also been called upon to deal with a wide variety of film themes
ranging from the amazing trickwork of the Technicolor production " The
Thief of Bagdad " to every type of war activity, of which the bombing scenes
in '" Ships with Wings " occur as outstanding. These results show that
technically our studies can turn out first class, trick work ; often poor equip-
ment has proved no bar to exceptional photographic work. Yet the need for
development is obvious, particularly in back projection^which is an essential,
particularly during the war. Twin and triple B.P. projectors enabling the
use of double-size screens would prove an invaluable investment. Excellent
as some recent results have proved, further experimental work should be
undertaken in regard to miniature projection, etc., worked out with the optical
printer. It would be helpful if the Producers Association were to sponsor a
system whereby special apparatus for trick effects might be build at one of
the large plants and operated as a general service installation.
The demand for better and bigger sets, coupled with the great dearth of
materials, has given a headache to many art directors, who have consequently
been driven to many surprising departures from accepted practice. When
Paul Sherriff and Carmen were working on " Freedom Radio " in the early
war-days they successfully experimented with painted perspective settings
adapted to modern lighting and camera conditions. By a skilful combination
of perspective plaster- work and painted set pieces many extraordinarily good
large-scale settings resulted, the economic advantages of which were not lost
on other art directors similarly placed, who have since successfully adopted
the Sherriff-Carmen technique. Notwithstanding, there is still too great detail
involved into sets which is never photographed and which could be dis-
pensed with by closer collaboration between cameraman and art director.
And in this connection another development which frees the technician
from the vagaries of the elements encountered in exteriors is the cloud-photo-
graphy apparatus perfected by 20th Century- Fox, which enables cloud effects
to be obtained as and when they are required by means of a panoramic
attachment. This may be employed "either outdoors or in the studio in
association with a sky-backing cloth. Another interesting effects equipment
is the " ripple " machine, which won an Academy award for Warners, and
provides an illusion of sparkling water. Both these methods of introducing
cloud and water effects to interior shots were described in the Kine. of
November 27.
Details have been published of recent B.P. experiments, and in particular
those of a system for which a high degree of reliability is claimed. This
automatically phases the shutters of camera and projector and eliminates
delays in lining-up and resetting of the equipment. The wastage due to
false takes is limited and ensures other factors which are essential for economic
working and fast and reliable operation.
One of the most valuable mechanical aids to trick- work evolved in
British studios is the universal camera mount invented by Sydney Howell,
head of the Ealing camera department. It provides a means of " panning "
with combined foreground miniature and line action, and can also be employed
in normal floor practice where shots hitherto involving three-dimensional
movement of the camera aie required.
LABORATORY WORK.
AN essential factor in the great improvement already remarked in British
film quality has been contributed by the process worker to whose credit
is due some of the many highly important technical advances which have been
developed in our laboratories under conditions which surely must be the reverse
of helpful in research and experimental work. Mention of one example of
288 The Kinematograph Year Book.
laboratory advance was made last year ; since then there has been a wider
adoption of the Olympic " fogging " process now known as " Otensification,"
which has opened many possibilities of filming without the use of high-power
lighting units. In one or two pictures of the year the system has been em-
ployed for shortening " black-out " sequences in circumstances where, under
normal exterior conditions, it would be impossible to shoot. Studio tests
proved that light from an ordinary 3i-volt torch could be photographed.
The new process was applied by Bernard Knowles, cameraman of " Unpub-
lished Story," which also needed " black-out " sequences. The shots were
subjected to three stages of processing. The results in the first and second
stages, a gradual improvement in the definition, but in the final stage, cars
were seen quite clearly and faces of many passers-by were even visible in some
detail. Normal Kodak Super Double X was employed in this and other
extremely successful experiments, which have opened up a tremendous
field for photographing pictures under adverse lighting conditions.
The solution of many of the problems in screen definition and sound
reproduction lies in the use of fine-grain emulsion, but the difficulties of
printing and developing and processing presented considerable snags. Research
has been conducted into this subject by Paramount technicians. It was
demonstrated that regardless of the inherently high resolving power of standard
emulsions, a loss occurs when a negative with one granular structure is printed
in contact with a positive emulsion of similar grain structure. It was also
recognised that in projection the finer grain materials gave sharper definition
with a decrease in graininess. Experiments produced early in 1939 an
emulsion which permitted the commercial use of fine grain for composite
release printing with the consequent benefits of improvement in the image
definition, a great smoothness of quality along with a sound record having a
greatly increased signal-to-noise ratio. In adapting the fine-grain material
for printing composice release prints, the two essential requirements were,
first, a printing equipment which had sufficient light intensity to permit
printing the slower type stock and, secondly, the development of this stock in
normal positive solution used for processing standard positive emulsions.
Both these requirements were met by Paramount who completely readjusted
their laboratory equipment and now use fine grain for all American release
prints. This means that every print is in fact a master positive of such a
quality that it can be used for obtaining a lavender negative. Generally, the
improvements make for brighter screen and better photographic quality
although [there still exists a slight colouration. On the laboratory side, the
changes to standard equipment include the use of new fine-grain developers,
new formulas and the adaptation of the Bell & Howell printers to the new
light system which, as the stock is slower, demands four times the usual
intensity, and involves the use of mercury vapour lamps.
A reciprocal agreement was concluded between Olympic and Kay Labora-
tories for mutual aid in the event of one or the other plants being put out of
operation by enemy action. The total weekly amount of film handled by bath
plants is in the neighbourhood of 3,200,000 ft. It will be remembered that a
similar arrangement was agreed to last year when Denham and G. Humphries,
Ltd., became associated.
A new treatment of prints was introduced this year by Olympic Laboratories
under the title of Olympax, which comprises a system of chemically seasoning
the gelatine, which becomes impervious to scratches, and prevents shrinking or
swelling when in contact with the heat of the projection lamp. Not only
does the process, it is claimed, militate against subsequent damage, but it
will ensure a longer life to the print and save time which might be lost in
replacing faulty prints. Moreover, there will be no need for any waxing or
other treatment of the film by the projectionist.

COLOUR.
SO far as the British Industry is concerned, Technicolor is the only colour
process to be considered, for its other competitors in the commercial
theatre have not been visible these two years. The reason for the disappear-
ance of Dufaycolor, the British process, is understandable, although regret-
table, because the introduction just before the war of the new base, which
has been yet further improved, gave promise of a most successful application
to the requirements of the producer. We must be content with the assurance
that while the unrivalled manufacturing facilities of Dufay-Chromex are
being employed in the service of the nation, the continuance of research
along possible lines of development will result in the successful resumption
of operations in the post-war period. But the same excuse cannot hold good
for those many other colour systems originating from the States, a few of
which found their way to our screens generally to the unfavourable com-
ment from even uncritical audiences. The reason must be assumed in the
vast development made in the Technicolor process which apparently has
been adopted practically as standard by every major American production
firm. Last year no fewer than 19 subjects were presented in the new Techni-
color process, the public reaction to which has definitely established colour
as an integral attraction and, what is more, a substantial box-office asset.
This is proved by the fact of a tentative schedule of 15 pictures set for pro-
duction in this medium, one firm, Paramount, proposes to make six. Whether
the American entry to the war will affect this figure is at present impossible
to determine.
British producers cannot be said to have followed American practice in
this respect, doubtless because of the need for economy and also because of
obvious restrictive circumstances. It has, however, been successfully
employed in the production of many short subjects, including, for the first
time it is thought, an advertising film. These have indicated the progress
made with the system in this country. Feature production in colour seemed
postponed for the duration, although several pictures have been produced
the theme and character of which appeared essentially suitable for the purpose.
At one time the making of a colour film of an actual R.A.F. operational
flight was considered, but nothing came of it. At the end of the year, how-
ever, the announcement was made of the proposal to produce a film of
" Handel " in Technicolor, an enterprise which it is hoped will reap the
success it deserves.
An important development in the Technicolor process has been generally
adopted by Hollywood. It involves the preliminary shooting in 16-mm.
Kodachrome and enlarging to 35 mm. Most tests of colour films are done
this way — i.e., shooting combined sound and colour. Its use is claimed to
avoid the huge demand upon film stocks of the relatively high lighting costs
which the triple film camera requires in the studio. The method adopted
is to " blue up " the Kodachrome negative (which is of the integral layer
type) into three selectively filtered colour separation negatives from which the
Technicolor matrices are made in the usual way for the printing of the- three-
colour positive. The resultant 35-mm. picture is stated to be of good tonal
range as the result of control in the laboratory, blacks and whites being
uncommonly good with a worthwhile range of colour, although it is not
claimed that it is equal to the best 35-mm. Technicolor prints. At the
moment the use of the process has been confined to short subjects, but its
extension to feature films will undoubtedly be effected after further research.
Dufay-Chromex, Ltd.— Although little has been heard in normal trade
circles of Dufaycolor, research and development with consequent improve-
ments have proceeded at a very much higher rate than perhaps would have
been the case during a comparable period of peacetime. The fact is that,
after the conclusion of this war, the 35 mm. Dufaycolor process will reappear
more mature, considerably altered in appearance and very much the better.
K
290 The Kinematograph Year Book.
It can, therefore, be stated unequivocably that Dufaycolor has not stood still,
but, on the contrary, has used a period of abnormal growth to round off
roughnesses, eliminate admitted faults, and to make marked progress towards
the achievement which those who always believed in it knew would finally
emerge. Unfortunately, the state of affairs is such that it cannot be divulged
in any detail either what Dufay-Chromex have been up to, nor in what respect
the product has been altered, because the plain fact is that the Government
is at present the sole customer, and that is that !
Before the war we all know that the process and certain outstanding
merits and equally outstanding faults — a state of affairs applicable to any
process of colour photography — -the most serious defect was traceable to the
employment of cellulose acetate base. This is no longer essential, and it can be
announced that after the war all Dufaycolor 35 mm. film will be manufactured
on normal nitrate base. This change will at one stroke eliminate the principal
criticisms which have been in the past levelled at the process. Furthermore,
a finer screen, higher speed and a colour rendering beyond reproach is
promised.
SOUND RECORDING AND EQUIPMENT.
IT is a notable feature of British technical achievement during the war
that the quality of recording has not only been preserved but actually
improved, notwithstanding the considerable difficulties under which tech-
nicians and studio staff have had to work. The three main recording specialists,
British Acoustic, RCA and Western Electric, have performed prodigies in
keeping up the high level of recording, and their efforts have received full
collaboration of the laboratory people. The workmanship put into the equip-
ment has successfully withstood the effects of blast from many near hits, and
in spite of these and other war-time circumstances which have thrown in-
creased responsibilities on staff and installations there have occurred practically
no instances of production hold-up due to sound failure. Credit is largely due
in this respect to the continued maintenance of efficient service arrangements
by the various systems concerned. No basic changes in the principles of the
equipment are recorded, although several developments have been introduced
to meet the requirements of service sound recording units. RCA reports the
equipment of the Riverside Studios at Hammersmith with one of their latest
installations, and this concern has also introduced a new type of microphone.
Considerable improvements have taken place in the design of Osram
Exciter and Recording Lamps. Their uniformity of performance has been
advanced, and smaller tolerances are now standardised in respect to filament
position and filament dimensions. RCA Photophone, Ltd., extensively use
Osram lamps in their numerous sound-reproducing equipments.
A new pick-up, developed by P. G. A. Voight, was demonstrated in May.
The design embodies a reduction of mass so that the inertia is less and the
reduction also of stiffness so that the point will more easily follow the record
groove. The pick-up is of the moving-coil type and proved to have an excellent
frequency response. * "
There has been some trouble encountered in obtaining revision of the
following published details of the sound recorder equipment in general
use, and in some instances it has been necessary to repeat the description used
previously.
6. B. Equipments, Ltd. — A complete range of British Acoustic Recording
Equipments, suitable for studio, location and newsreel requirements is avail-
able. These are of 100 per cent. British origin, and the supply of spare
and replacement parts is unlikely to be affected by war conditions. No new
types of equipment have been introduced during the past year, although de-
velopment has proceeded continuously in order to further improve the already
British Production. 291
high standards of performance. For studio work two types of equipment arfc
offered :
Type FRM2S, a " de luxe " equipment for A.C. mains ;
Type FRM1S, the standard equipment for A.C. mains.
For location work there is the type LP3S, a compact battery operated
equipment designed on the unit principle.
All three are characterised by " Full Range " frequency response, " noise-
less " recording and the B.A. patented " multi- track " variable area sound
track.
In the design of the type FRM2S equipment no effort has been spared to
produce results of the finest quality and to facilitate operation. The rack
mounting system is employed, and salient features are : Negligible dis-
tortion factor throughout ; signal integrating circuit controlling the " noise-
less " bias, giving nearly perfect background suppression ; dual power and
peak level volume indicators, to give a precise indication of modulation level
during recording ; and effective automatic stabilisation to provide freedom
from the effects of wide variations in mains supply voltage. Microphones
of the small-button condenser and ribbon types are provided, together with a
microphone mixing unit of ultra-modern design. Sound monitoring provision
consists of moving-coil headphones (in the studio) and a small "Duosonic"
speaker system (in the Recording room). The monitor input may be operated
from a photo-cell pick-up in the recording light beam (as a check on recorder
performance) or direct from the main amplifier. The type FRM1S equipment
is less elaborate, but is built on similar lines to the above.
For newsreel and similar work the type ND portable equipment is avail-
able ; recording sound and picture on the same negative. This outfit is
designed for compactness and portability, but nevertheless, embodies such
useful features as " noiseless " recording, two microphone inputs and inter-
communication telephones.
The advantages of the automatic volume compressor unit, which has been
available for some time and which enables any one of a pre-determined range of
compression characteristics to be applied when the occasion demands, does not
appear to have been fully realised by all producers. When recording conversa-
tion between several persons, for example, the contrast between the speaking
levels of the artists may be too great for maximum intelligibility, and the
compressor is then brought in to reduce this contrast. Although the intelli-
gibility is improved, dramatic emphasis is not noticeably affected, and at no
time is one conscious of the presence of compression. The unit may also be
operated as a peak limiter, in order to reduce the possibility of over-modula-
tion on loud transients.
Recent improvements have also been made in the British Acoustic range
of re-recording and dubbing apparatus, which includes sound and picture
projectors with one or more interlocked soundheads, separate dubbing heads,
pre-amplifiers, multi-channel mixers, filters, and equalisers, etc.
Leevers-Rich & CO., Ltd. — War-time equipment has been directed
primarily towards the prompt fulfilment of Government requirements, and
the design of sound-recording equipment has only been modified in minor
details. The standard sound-on-film equipment produces the " double-
width push-pull " type of variable area track, and its extreme latitude in
processing has proved of great value in the difficult conditions under which
most film laboratories are at present operating. The unit-built amplifier
equipment makes the system equally suitable for studio or location use.
A completely equipped mobile unit installed in a special van is available for
hire, a useful feature being the ease with which the equipment, complete
with power supply, may be unloaded for use in special locations, such as on
board ship. The increasing use of sound-on-disc recording equipment under
war-time conditions has led to a number of improvements making for ease
of operation, and reliaoility under difficult working conditions. Recent

installations include those for ordnance factories and a mobile recording
unit for E.N.S.A., which includes two recording machines and its own power
supply. The latter equipment is now playing an important part in National
Service entertainment for the Forces overseas.
Among the notable contributions in 1941 by R.C.A. to the technique
of sound recording has been the introduction of " Electronic " mixing, which
has already proved a noteworthy addition to High Fidelity sound, equally, but
not more important, than the changeover from white light to " ultra-violet "
light recording.
Experience has shown that there are certain kinds of original material
that have to be recorded, which contain a volume range unsuitable for release
in the theatres. When a faithful recording of this type of material is played
in the average theatre the loud level passages are either too loud or the low
level passages too low. If the gain of the reproducing system is set for the
low level sounds, the high level ones seem to be exaggerated in loudness,
giving a false " blattiness " or " bouncy " quality, while, if the gain is set
for the loud passages, the low levels drop below the point of intelligibility.
Not only can the intelligibility of the wide volume range material be increased
due to the smoothing out action of compression, as shown above, but the
average level of the reproduced sound will be raised closer to the peak level,
and higher, above film and reproducing system noises. Finally, the overall
effect of " compression " (varionic mixing), properly used, is to increase the
" smoothness " of recorded dialogue.
A new long-shot microphone designed in RCA laboratories is 10 ft.
long, and is termed " sound-perspective." It is remarkably sensitive and
directional, and is claimed as producing effects as they would be heard by
an audience. It is being field-tested on Hollywood lots.
RCA Photophone, Ltd. — While " panoramic " sound — -owing to pre-
vailing conditions— cannot yet be made available either to British recorder
licensees or theatres equipped by RCA Photophone, Ltd. (first utilised by Walt
Disney in "Fantasia"), RCA Recorder licensees have not been backward in
taking advantage of advances brought about by the RCA Manufacturing Co.
Inc., in America, notably, the new RCA Uni-Directional microphone and the
introduction of electronic mixing in recording and re-recording. As to the
new RCA Uni-Directional microphone — a welcome addition to existing
RCA sound pick-up unit range — both in America and this country, it is
recognised as standard. It may be operated at a distance from its amplifier
and is arranged for line impedances of 50 ohms and 250 ohms. The even
frequency response characteristic gives an added smoothness to dialogue
recording, whilst its directive qualities allow greater freedom of movement
on " sets," and also a reduction of reverberation when compared with any
other conventional microphone. " Electronic mixing " has proved a
valuable addition to all equipments now in operation, namely, recorder and
re-recorder channels of Warner Bros. Teddington Studios ; H.M. Minister of
Information, Crown Film Unit, Denham ; Sound City Studios, Shepperton-
on-Thames ; Ealing Studios, W.5 ; N.B.H., Ltd., Rock Studios, Boreham
Wood, Elstree ; and Associated British Picture Corporation, Ltd., Studios,
Welwyn Garden City, Herts. During the past year, A.B.P.C., Ltd., Welwyn
Studios, have installed the latest type RCA theatre reproducer and review
equipment, including two super " Simplex " rear shutter projectors, two
" Strong " arc lamps, synchronous projector driving motors and pre-view
attachments with upper film magazines. " March of Time," as also Spectator
Short Films, Ltd., both operate RCA light portable recorders.
The newest Recorder licensee of RCA is Jack Buchanan, at Riverside
Studios, Hammersmith, W.6, where the new RCA installation provides
highly efficient facilities for recording, re-recording, scoring and review by
most modern RCA ultra-violet recorders, incorporating electronic mixing.
Two RCA recorder channels are available with considerable flexibility,
inasmuch as either may be switched at a moment's notice to either of the

two sound stages, to the recording theatre equipment or for special scoring,
the installation having been carried out in such a manner that RCA mobile
units may be used without any inconvenience.
Western Electric Co., Ltd. — The Western Electric condenser microphone
has proved a valuable addition to recorder equipment. Although of small
dimensions, it is more robust than previous transmitters of the condenser type,
and has a very even frequency characteristic. The microphone fits directly on
to its associated amplifier, and the complete assembly can be accommodated in
the usual microphone boom mounting, as it is both small in size, and light in
weight. Western Electric recording equipment is installed in the following,
British studios : British Movietone News, London ; British Paramount News
North Acton ; D. & P. Studios, Ltd., Denham and Pinewood ; Merton Park
Studios, Merton Park, Wimbledon.
The Western Electric 16-mm. recorder has been designed to meet the
demand for a machine that would enable sound technicians to record
16-mm. negatives with the same facility and quality as with 35-mm. stock.
Direct recordings may be made independently, and by electrically inter-
locking the machine with a 35-mm.. recorder both sizes of negative may
be made simultaneously. It can also be used to re-record from existing
35-mm. product, thus permitting the introduction of such changes in fre-
quency characterstics as experience has shown to be desirable for repro-
duction on current 16-mm. projector mechanisms. The re-recording can
be made directly from a positive print or from a negative by use of the
recently developed negative playback. This latter apparatus permits the
immediate reproduction of negative variable density sound tracks and
offers all of the oral advantages that would be given by a device capable of
permitting one to view a photographic negative as a finished positive print
if such a device were available. Direct headset or loudspeaker monitoring
is accomplished by means of a photocell monitoring amplifier contained in a
compartment directly back of the modulator. Numerous original sound
films and recording recently produced on the new recorder prove that 16-mm.
is now an entirely practical medium for non-theatrical subjects. The recorded
quality approaches that of commercial 35-mm. film closely.
STEREOPHONY AND MULTIPLE REPRODUCING SYSTEMS.
THE potentialities of " stereophony," the sound recording and reproducing
process which, by means of multiple-speaker systems, simulates bi-aural
reception, is receiving much attention in the United States. The essential
differences between the reproduction requirements of dialogue and music,
choruses, etc., are pointed out in a recent B.K.S. abstract. Speech is produced
by approximately a point source while the latter is one of large area. The
technique for dialogue scenes is to play almost all the action in medium or
close shots, and in order to improve both illusion and intelligibility it is
desirable that the sound should appear to come just in front of the screen.
Music and sound effects present an entirely different problem, the auditor is
interested more in a spatial effect than in localising the source of sound.
Since it appears that those sequences that may require increased reproducer
volume are also benefited by acoustic spread, Vitasound devised a system
by which as the control tone was increased it would first provide acoustic
spread by fading in supplementary side speakers and then control the
volume of the entire system. Thus, in the case of dialogue the central speaker
operates at normal level with the side speakers off and for music, control
signal amplitude, turning on the side speakers increases the volume of all
the speakers, which is actually recorded in the perforation margin of the
film. Such a track can be recorded and printed very easily and can be
reproduced by a very simple and inexpensive attachment to the sound-
294 The Kinematograph Year Book.
head. By requiring only that all prints not recorded for control track re-
production have a clear sprocket-hole area, complete interchangeability of
prints is obtainable. It is pointed out that any modern reproducer system
can be modified to provide multiple-speaker reproduction, and the improve-
ment obtained is a real one.
Western Electric. — A detailed description of the system of stereophonic
recording and reproduction developed by the Bell laboratories and Western
Electric, appeared in the October issue of the S.M.P.E. Journal. The general
requirements are first discussed for the ideal recording- reproducing system,
as determined by the characteristics of hearing of a typical group of auditors
in a theatre. Quantitive values are set down as ideal objectives. Although
the components of the transmission assembly — loud speakers, amplifiers, etc.,
were available to meet the requirements, no recording medium was known
which woidd record the wide dynamic range of intensity levels, which the
objectives indicated as being necessary. The system was briefly described
in a recent B.K.S. Bulletin, which explained that the wide-intensity range
was met by using a " compandor " (compressor-expander) in the electrical
system. Reasons were given for the selection of the particular " compandor "
used, for the employment of variable area rather than variable density,
and for using three instead of a greater or lesser number of channels. A
description is also given of the " enhancement " feature which makes it
possible to re-record for the original recording, at the same time realising
any desirable changes in the dynamic range or frequency response in each
of the three channels. The electrical system is described, including methods
of noise reduction, maximum suppression of noise and freedom from distortion,
volume control in relation to pre-recording and reproduction ; film pro-
pelling mechanism (the machines are designed to handle film in 2,000-ft.
lengths), the light valve ; equalisation of resonance-region response. The
mechanical design with several interesting features, among which are
mechanical robustness, protection against dirt and moisture, built-in ribbon
and optical adjustments, and an optical system integral with the vslve
structure.
RCA. — Meanwhile RCA have adapted the lessons learned in the design of
" Fantasound " to the perfection of a simpler reproducing system, which,
while possessing the improved sound characteristics of the original, will be
within the reach of all. This is considered to have been achieved by the
RCA Panoramic Sound System, for which only a single film will be required
and entails very little adaption of the existing reproducing system, the main
difference being the recording track. Extra sound recording and printing
costs will be negligible. Some months ago an RCA Panoramic Sound System
was made available to Hollywood film producers, and the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences, so that they might study it with the view of arriving
at uniform film standards for all productions. Since the characteristics of
the reproducer system must dovetail with these recording standards, no
general sale of RCA Panoramic Sound Systems will be made until such
standards are set. In the meantime, a limited number of experimental
installations, under way or contemplated, in key Hollywood and New York
theatres, will provide further valuable data.
Vitasound. — Details of the Warner process " Vitasound " indicate a
similarity to the simpler form of the RCA system. This also requires but
a single picture-and-sound film, and the less involved mechanism needed
provides a practical alternative to the more elaborate equipment which,
although less perfect theoretically, is capable of superficially similar illusions.
Three sets of speakers are needed, but they are fed through two amplifier
channels and no auditorium speakers are used. Existing sound-heads and
the amplifier channels need modification, the latter for variable-area operation ;
a control panel for handling the variable-gain control currents would have
to be installed. Volume expansion is secured by means of a control track,
which is actually recorded in the perforation margin of the film.

The Cinemas which had the foresight to
specify Harrison Cinema Seating are
fortunate, because such installations, with
their reliable springing and trustworthy
workmanship, will be welcoming patrons
for many years to come. Now, alas ! we
are compelled to make our own particular
product take a back seat, for there is a
more profound job of work on hand and we
are doing our best to get it finished quickly.
We still promise to give your inquiries
our keenest attention, but ask you to
excuse us from guaranteeing quick delivery.
