film producers declared after an inspec-

studios and moving picture theatres OF
Germany. II could truthfully say the

lean producers are, in my opinion. far
ahead of the Germans and British In
the art OF producing appealing films.
I'm Germany many OF the important
films are too gruesome for the American
public. Then the actresses who appear
in many OF the films are not young and
beautiful enough to satisfy Americans"
German film makers are producing
many cubist effects. Some of these films
are skllfully done. but the themes are
generally gloomy and not of a character
which Americans demand.

These are questions which the Dun

trying to answer. The statistics show
that 1t Is not question of seeming

the reports showed that the drys In
old age get sick and must have in
surance payments, which reacts as a
burden on every member. and the
younger members Of the society have
asked many embarrassing questions in
this connection.
