Charge Fox Films
Exhibited Under
Decettive Titles

WASHINGTON. Aug. Through
a complaint issued today against the
Fox Film Corporation Of New York,
the Federal Trade Commission inaug-
urated a campaign which members
said was designed to prevent motion
picture exhibitors and the public being
imposed upon by film brokers and pro-
ducers through marketing Of old films
under new titles, or Of films bearing
titles of noted books or plays when
the subject matter had little or no
connection with the name.
The commissions policy was deter
mined upon, It became known oday'
following the visit OF all its members
in body to two local theatres exhib- :
iting films bearing the same title and
ostensibly purpoting to portray the
characters and atmosphere OF world
famous novel. One film wos found to
accurately interpret the characters OF
the novel, it was said, while the other
bore no resemblance whatsoever to
the book, and in the opinion OF the
commission, the title was employed
solely In a deceptive sense.
In such instances the commission
holds, the theatre owner is imposed
upon and he public is attracted by the
title and expects to witness show
identical TO the play or the novel bear
ing the name, is imposed upon.
