British "MoUie" Men Plan
 To End American Control
Magnificent Estate Secured Home of Big Producing Company-Practically Every Movie Theatre in
 London Now Shows American Films
By HAYDEN CHURCH

London. December .-tSpeciaL)- There is big conspiracy on foot here to make the Americans in Great Britain feel homesick. or, perhaps one should say. to make 1t possible for them to feel so-whieh 1t simply isn't. as things are now
 The conspirators are a big bunch of British film manufacturers. some or them old and some of them new, but all of them full of pep" To make it possible for citizens of the United States to suffer from nostalgia while in England is not the avowed aim Of these movie" firms, but this is one of the things that surely will come to pass if a mighty effort which they are planning to make in the next few years is attended with success.
 As matters stand today in the Brit ish movie world. ] defy any Amer ican, no matter how long he may have been away from the land of buck wheat cakes and corn on the cob, or however few acquaintances he may have chanced to make here, to feel homesick anywhere between The Liz ard and John o'Groats, which means within the confines of the United Kingdom All that he has to do if he feels even the first premonitory symp- toms is to drop into the first movie show he comes across, and, ping! as soon as he lamps" the screen, there he is right back home again.
 As near home as Los Angeles, any way. or any other part of the United States where motion pictures are taken-and where aren't they taken now? One can't guarantee that if you come to England and go to movie" show you will see the same old mule, the mule you rode to school, like the man in the song, but you will see American streets, American sky scrapers, American country landscapes and the out and inside of American homes almost continuously from the beginning to the end of the pro- gramme, and, when you emerge again, probably will be surprised to discover. that you really are in England and not on Broadway.

 AMERICA RULES MOVIE LAND"
 It is truly an astonishing thing, the completeness of the American domina- tion of the moving picture situation in this country. More often than not, when one goes to the movies here, one will see, with the exception of d topical budget picturing events of the week in England, and lasting about five minutes, a completely ArSaA Aan programme. Many of the films shown. too, are of almost exclu- sively American interest and many have their captions and producers s comments in American slang, of which phrase after phrase is as incompre- hensible as ancient Greek 10 the aver age Englishman.
 As a consequence newly-arrived American who had happened to miss the topical budget ," might easily imagine mat one or two things was the case: He might conclude either that no British films were being manufactured or that, IT they were, British audiences were too keen on the American article to care to see movie" plays with the scenes laid in their own, instead of a foreign, coun- try and explained in phrases that they could understand instead of in slang uage' one word in ten of which is com plete gibberish to them.
 Neither of these conclusions would be correct. Films of increasingly good quality have been produced in this coun- try for many years, and British movie patrons far from desiring to have their screens monopolized by American-Inade pictures, have merely become resigned to having American characters and American scenes continuously put before them.
 Why then, this wholesale American ization of the British theater? The answer is that the American films be- gan by being superlatively good, where as the majority of the British films pro- duced up to a year or two before the outbreak of the war were as a whole rather bad
 It was long before film organizations ir England had anything like the capital behind them thai, from the first, was at the disposal of the American companies and the inferior light conditions in the British lsles-ds compared with Calfor- nia, for instance-have also been the heaviest of haEdicaps.

Probably as formidable competition as any that the American picture firms wnl have to face from England will be that of a new corporation which has a capital of s5, 900 600 and expects to turn out dur ing it's first year, nearly e60o miles or film. It will have distinguished con sutling committee, composed of four world-famous piaywrights These are Sir Arthur Pinero R. c. Carton, Edward Knoblock and George R.

Among the nota- ble professional men of this coun- try who achieved great success along strictly legitimate lines was Dr. R. V.

 That British movie patrons would far rather see films picturing life and scenes in this country than ones taken across the pond, is unquestionable, frequent let ters in the newspapers testifying to the public protest against it's steady diet Of American pictures. If, accordingly, Brit ish producers only can turn out enough films of equal quality to the American ones to keep the English theatres sup piled and also compete successfully with the American films as regards price, they can break this American stranglehold on an important British industry. To do that is now their firm determination.

I nave asked several people recently what opinion they have of the attitude Lady Astor adopts when sitting as mem per in the House of Parliament. Men as rule, seem to be highly amused at her rather nonchalant manner. while women on the whole, think that she is perfectly splerdid.'
 Masculine members of Parliament to whom i have spoken are greatly enter taine1 at her various little ways.

London, December S0.-(Special.)- Does anybody want to buy medieval Tor tress? If so, now is the time, for there are no fewer than three of these ancient structures in England that have with'h the past few weeks come into the mar ket.
 One of these is Bennington castle, New bury, which was originally the house or Godfrey Chaueer. In the park adjacent to the castle walls is the oak tree De- meath which h. is said to have penned many of his poems and part at least Q.

The con- sequence is that he has no dates open for months into which to fit the British output. Thus, British film shown to the trade, and, incidentally, to the press is almost forgotten before it comes upon the screen throughout the country I was told yesterday that none of the more recent British productions, or any of the French, Italian and Swedish films that are now coming upon the markeS dhe latter, however, only in small quan- tities) cannot possibly be exhibited in England until six or eight months hence.
