picturization of Ralph Connor's wide
ly read novel of the west, will be the
attraction for the current week at
the Metropolitan Theater. The Sky

supervision of Cathrine Curtis. and
reflects the feminine viewpoint in

matte elements embodied in that re-

grandeur in the Canadian rockies In
the character of Gwen. the girl of
the plains and the mount aims, who
carried the love of a woman in the

her most fruitful opportunity. Miss

IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN FILMS.

menace to the moving picture indus

be sharp split between American
producers of pictures and those or
CARNATIONS which have been busy
buying foreign pictures" says Lois
Weber
The American producers demand a
tariff that will impose a duty equal
to the difference in the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad and that
will leave a reasonable profit to the
American producer.
The foreign film invasion is more
than a mere question of patriotism.
1t means the bread and butter Of
thousands of film people here. Just
one organization is reported to have
$50 foreign productions for release.
AS director said to me recently
DO you know what that means?
It means Just this: Thirty American
companies would produce an average
of five feature pictures a year or $50
features in all. The release of those
$50 foreign pictures. by that one con-
Germ, means thirty American COM
