LONDON LIKES OUR
MOVIE PRODUCTIONS

Correspondence of The
Associated Press There is renewed
discussion of the proposal that the
government prohibit importation Of
moving picture films, both as a means
of national economy and as step to-
ward building up home industry in
the movie field.
Nine-tenths of all the films shown
in England are imported from the
United States and France. 1t is esti
mated that the trade with American
film producers sends to the United
States no less than s10,00O,000 a year,
thus helping to build up foreign
trade balance against Great Britain
and taking much gold out Of the
country.
England is taking to her economies
reluctantly and there is a wide diver
gence of views as to the moving pic
'ure, or cinema" theatres as they are
called here. Several of the leading
London newspapers are advocating
the ban against the imported film and
have grown outspoken in their de-
nunciation of the American product
in particular. While admitting that
some of the picture productions from
the States are meritorious they assert
that "Rattlesnake Pete" "Broncho
Bill" and other Cow person" dramas
predominant in the American field
and are quite unintelligble to our
people"
But the American movie" has
staunch friends and it is asserted that
if American productions were barred
the theatres throughout the British
Isles would be forced to close. The
English productions could not begin
to fiji the demand and 1t is said the
industry never could grow to great
proportions here because the light
and atmospheric conditions cannot
compare to those in California and
other parts of the United States.
Those in opposition to the film impor-
tation, however, claim that Great
Britain can lead the world in this in
dustry as in many others.
There are about five thousand pic
ture theatres in the Kingdom and
their billboards all proclaim American
productions Most Of the American
film stars have their distinctive fol-
lowings in England
In urging that American films be
barred, the influential London Times
says:
We are buying American films to
the extent of $4,000, 600 at time
when there are only two legitimate
objects on which British money
should be spent.
One Of these objects is the promo
ton of victory in the field; the other,
which is closely allied, is the promo
ton of sound national spirit in the
people at home. The importation of
American films, so far from promoting
either of these objects. is direct
obstacle to both. Nor do these films,
obtained at such cost. promote the ma

Durham was in a. fair way to be
one of the stars of the baseball world
