SHORTAGE OF FILMS

OBSE RIVE r.

Since my last letter was written
things here have settled down to a
condition much more nearly approach
ing the normal that was the case i'm
mediately following the declaration Of
war. On the surface we are conduct
Ing our business much as we have al
ways done; supplies, both of negative
and positive films are reaching us
even from Paris, where l hear several
studios and factories are working full
time, and no anxiety seems to be felt
as to the supply of raw stock. In Eng
land the difficulties of communication
with the provinces and the delay in
delivery of parcels, owing to the gov
ernment's control of the railways and
the wholesale seizure Of horses, have
largely been removed. Given uninter-
Tupted communication with your side
there appears no reason to fear a
shortage either of raw films or of sub
5ects.
We are not so fortunately situated
in regard to chemicals. The price of
hypo Is at present forty shillings per
hundred weight against the usual fig
ure of eight shillings. Hydro-kinone,
ordinarily sold at two shillings and
Six pence per pound. is now only OBJ
tainable at twenty-five shillings for the
same quantity, and there has been an
equally great advance in most of the
other materials used in development.
Most Of these good ordinarily come
from Germany, and 1t will be neces-
sary for British firms to increase their
resources greatly if they are to cope
with the shortage. At the same time
the present situation seems to offer
these firms an admirable opportunity
of gaining control of a branch of in
dustry from which they have previous
ly been excluded by German competi-
ton.
1t is little difficult to speak with
any confidence of the future at the
present stage. In London, at least, the
cinema theatres not only appear to
have maintained their business at an
average level, but in many cases to
have exceeded it. In the provinces,
from what l hear, things are not so
rosy. The big industrial towns will
certainly feel the financial pinch be-
fore London. In some, works have al
ready been shut down and there can
not fail to be a considerable amount
OF unemployment in such centers as
Lancashire, which find some of their
most remunerative foreign markets
closed to them, and unemployment will
affect all amusements Immediately. 1t
IS certain, however, that patronage
would remain to the picture house
after both the theatre and music hall
have been deserted; the cheapness Of
the cinema should, in fact. secure it
a certain amount of immediate bust
ness at the expense of both these
rivals.
