German Movie Competition
Not Feared in America

BERLIN, April 26.-German moving
picture films Will not be serious COM
petitors of American films in the near
future in the opinion of many Ameri-
can producers who have been in Ger
many within the last few months
studying the development of the film
industry.
Neither the plays staged by Ger
mans, nor the personality of the Ger
man actors l have seen would appeal
to American patrons" one of Amer
ica's foremost film producers declared
after an inspection tour which in
cluded the leading studios and NOV
ing picture theaters of Germany. Il
could truthfully say the same of the
British film industry. American pro
ducers are, in my opinion, far ahead of
the Germans and British in the art
of producing appealing films.
In Germany many of the important
films are too gruesome for the Ameri-
can 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 skilfully. done, but the
. themes are generally gloomy and not
of character which Americans de-
mand.

OLD CUSTOMS STILL
PREVAIL ON la PAz,
ISLAND IN PACIFIC
f3v Assor!a ted PresS)

SAN DIEGO, Cal, April 26.-The
island of Tiburon, off the coast OF
Lower California, is not infested by
cannibals of the Ceres Tribe of Indians.
as has been reported from time to
time, but on the contrary is inhabited
by Indians of very shy nature, who
dwell in small grass huts on the north
ern end of the island.
Captain George Allan Hancock, of
Los Angeles, master OF the yacht
Velero, Just returned from 5000 mile
cruise down the coast of Lower Cali
fornia and up the Gulf to Santa Rosalia
thus dissipates the belief that man
eating Indians wait on Tiburon for
luckless adventures or shipWrecked
parties.
Progress is Halted.
Captain Hancock and his party visit
ed small settlements along the Lower
California coast and declare that
civilization there is just where it
stood 100 years ago.
Speaking of his trip, Captain
Hancock said:
We cruised along the coast OF
Lower California to. the charming
little city of La Paz and then around
and inside the fulf for 400 miles. We
were all curious to stop at the much
talked-of island of Tiburon, on which
cannibal Indians were believed to
dwell But although we went on the
island armed to the teeth and looked
for the warlike natives, not one
showed up to greet or eat us. Though
we saw traces of their habitation,
crude little grass huts and other
primitive evidence of their occupation
of the community, we failed to make
the acquaintance Of any of the Tiburon
people"
Captain Hancock described the pearl
fishing at La Paz. Only primitive
methods are used, he said. and the
gems are sold to foreign dealers.
Starting American Colony.
While at La PaZ. the party was
greeted by party of Mexican officials
who were there to confer with some
Americans regarding the starting Of an
American colony at Magdalena Bay,
the largest settlement within 500
miles south of San Diego.
The attitude of residents Of sections
visited by the party is to welcome
American capital and American brains
in the development of their country.
