DON'T KNOW THE GAME

It is declared that the trouble over here is that the producers are not up to much They do not know the game as do the Americans. and the result has been the recent importa tion of several American producers. With their assistance it is be- lived that the production of British films will be stimulated.
 There are 10000 people in the British isles who are dependent upon the moving picture industry and should the govern ment take any action against American films the outcry will be loud and long. It has even been suggested that if such ac- ton seems imminent the movie theatre owners should arouse the populace by showing statements on their screens tell ing that if the importation of films is prohibited the cinemas will have to close The public would be urged to bring pres sure in Parliament against any such ac- tiOn.
