US. MOVIES HAVE
STRANCLE-H0LD ON
BRITISH PUBLIC
~ MARY HENkE

London. Oct. 20.-If there is one
thing more than another that makes
an American conscious Of national su-
periority, 1t is the London moving pic
ture shows-or cinemas, as they are
known over here.
British movies" are still in the dark
ages as far as acting and art Of pro-
duction are concerned, and it is the
American film stars who are drawing
the throngs to the big cinema palaces.
A Mary Pickford picture here is al
most as big an event as the Prince OF
Wales birthday. Everybody goes.
Once in a while in America some icon
oclast dares critic little Mary, but
not in London. The newspaper re-
viewers solemnly take up a lot Of
space telling all about her art as an
actress, treating the film as If it were
great dramatic production.
They have been showing Daddy
Long-Legs" at the most prominent mo-
ton picture theatres, and one London
newspaper sent a reporter to all the
charity institutions to learn II orphans
were as badly treated as the Mary
Pickford film represented.
Bill Hart Draws Well.
The actors who draw the crowds in
the United States are the most pop
ular on this side. Even Bill" Hart,
who might be considered an essential
ly American actor. has an enthusiastic
following. And of course Charlie Chap.
lin and Doug" Fairbanks are always
popular. There seem to be no out
standing British stars who have caught
the popular fancy as have the Amer
leans.
The British producers have been
struggling desperately to stem the
tide OF foreign films. They are ham
pered in one thing by their booking
system. A film Is announced and re-
viewed. and then sometimes there is
on the market. BY that time all the
fans have lost interest The stars
clothes are out &C style and the film
has lost its timeliness.
There are not the studio resources
here that are found in the great
movie" cities of America. The scope
Of the picture is necessarily limited,
because the companies do not have the
elaborate "sets" and properties re-
quired for a big production. II an
American company wishes to stage an
Egyptian scene, 1t is ready at Los An
geles. A British company would have
to go to Egypt for 1t.
British Producers Worried.
The hold which film predominance
gives a nation is what is worrying the
English. II all the cinema fans see
American movies and nothing else,
American ideas and what is worse,
American slang, will take possession
Of the public to the exclusion Of ev.
erything else. So the English film
men are working day and night and
worrying even more, trying to match
Yankee enterprise.
They are sending English films into
the colonies, and especially into Can.
ada, to show what Britain is doing,
and to lure the colonals from over-in.
diligence in the American production,
but so far their success has been nota.

Cleveland. Sept 9-Actinr Presl- dent John L Lewis. in his report Co the convention of the United Mine Workers of America, today discussed the greatly increased cost of living and the improbabiHy of any sweeping reduction through 'helatoG' federal action, as a preface to his recou- mendation for a cancellation of the Washington wage agreement in the bituminous field not later than No vember | and the ncEotiauou of a new wage scale. to be enforced. in case of failure to reach a satisfactory settlement by a general miners strike throughout the entire jurisdiction of the United Mine Workers of America.
