naturally are out of date in short
time.
At meeting of the National Asso-
citation OF the Motion Picture Industry
In New York city this week. II was
agreed that all new productions be
withheld from the market for a period
of one month. and that only those pic
lures which are in the making he COM
pleted within this period. This decision
was made because the manufacturers
found that with the theatres closed In
certain localities there would be an
oversupply OF "first run" material when
the picture houses reopen. IL the the
atres open within the month they will
show old productions which have APP
peared on the screens before.
THE curtailment of Aim productions
L for a month is regarded favorably,
coming az II does at time when the
Government is calling/upon every COM
mercial organization to conserve its
materials. 1t will mean saving OF
thousands of feet OF Aim which Is COM
posed chiefly of celuloid. product
much used In the manufacture Of war
necessities. The market Is overcrowded
with productions. for there are fewer
theatres In which to show them today
than was the case a few years ago, and
it will mean a saving of thousands of
dollars which would have been spent
unnecessarily in the making of pic
lures.
