AMERICAN SPEECH
ABUSES BRITISH
Voices From Hollywood Raise
Pandemonium in English
Movie Circles.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 15.-Voiccs from Hol-
lyrood are raising pandemonlum III
British motion picture circles.
Echoes of the disturbance are to be
found almost daily in the British press
where acrimonious critics have been
asking how it happens that Yankee
talkieS with their obviously American
brand Of English speech should be pack
ing British picture theaters virtually UNI
opposed By made England talking
fms.
1t had been rather taken for granted
that the advent OF talking pictures
would mean the end of American DOM
ination in the picture field here. Eng
liSh audiences, it was widely predicted.
would only laugh at the speech, man
nerisms OF American players, and turn
naturally to the talking films i'll which
English would be spoken as it is spoken
i'll England.
Speech Proves Amusing.
Part OF the prediction has been real
lied, there has been considerable laugh
ter in the cinema houses where Ameri-
can talkleS are shown. One line, ad-
dressed to the heroine of a Hollywood
picture now playing here, invariably
Brings loud gutfaWs from the psectators
1T is: Il see you speak perfect English. -
ferent view OF the heroine's diction.
However, this and other films con-
tanning (tO the English) many amusing
examples Of American speech keep on
drawing crowds into the picture thcater.
Some exhibitors estimate that an Amer
lean talkie brings from is to 20 per cent
more money into the box Office than
any other picture they can show.
AS result. the rush is on to equip
flow hnN AGO.,
dialogue films. One American electric
concern is selling installations at the
rate of 10 day-for the American
talkieS require American projection
eqUipment-and that only adds to the
irritation of those who have been de-
handing more speed i'll the develop
ment of talking picture industry here.
Britain Plans TaIkies.
To date not a single feature length,
made in England talking picture has
been shown hire, though numerous
short subjects have reached the screen.
Wherefore one London critic wrath
fully writes:
I'VE do the talking, but Hollywood
makes the talkies"
British producers, however, have not
been as inactive as some of their critics
assume. A tour of the studios here
about reveals talking picture plants in
various stages of completion; none, it
is true, as costly or elaborate as several
recently completed in Hollywood. Six
months from now Hollywood talkies will
have to compete with feature length
English productions. What worries the
advocates of more British haste is the
thought that by the time the British
talkies are appearing in formidable
numbers the British picture-going pub
lie will have become accustomed to
hearing American English on the
screen.
Right now they not only listen to
It, but gladly pay money to hear it.

AVOID FOREST FIRES

1t may be considered needless repetition, but this
being the height of the vacation season. warning is
again given valley residents be careful with fire
their vacations, if they intend spending them in wooded
portions of this some other state.
AT present serious fires are burning in several por-
tons of the state causing thousands of dollars damage
The Mill Valley disaster is still enough be re-
called vvidly.
Several small fires have already been reported in
the mountains between here and San Diego.
As state statistics show that 95 per cent of all
forest and brush fires caused by careessnes the
need of vigilance on the part of those who visit dry
areas is apparent.
Those planning vacations should make certain to
inquire about fire regulations and take pride in obey
ing them literally California has suffered much
from forest fires and is to be regretted that this has
been caused in the main by those whose love for their
state should prompt them to be careful at all times of
her natural beauty as represented by her forests.

CITY PLANNING ESSENTIAL

Creation of city planning commission, authorized
by the city council is important step for this COM
munty, also progressive one.
1t is important not only for the Ell Centro of the
present but for the city of the future of the chief
reasons for creating commission of this kind being
provide for the growth and expansion of the city.
City Zoning is important function of a planning
committee According to Professor j. w. Gregg, of
the University of California who has made study of
city planning, zonng as phase of city planning deals
with those aspects of building which directly af
fect the use of properties both general and specific
In this way districts of rather different char
acter may be established thereby protecting the vari
Gus interests of city socially and economically
To be recognized legitimate use of the police
power of the state Professor Gregg points that the
legislature and courts say of zonng: 1T must be
red out in such as will best promote the
tants will lessen the fire danger tend to beautify and
improve the city, will harmonic with its natural de-
velopment and will assist the carrying out of any
scheme for municipal Improvement put forth by the
municipal planning board, all with due regard to the
character of the different parts of the city and pro-
vding that the regulations shall be the for zones
districts and streets having the same character"
There have been few instances recently when
need of zonng ordinance recognized by members
of the council Such instances will most likely in
crease IN the future rather than diminish, and it is
essential that provision be made for dealing with them
The opportunity for developing Ell Centro into
beautiful and efficient city before the planning COM
mission On their efforts will largely depend what
the FL Centro of SO and 1G0 years from now looks like
1t be city of which E Centrans of that date can
be proud ashamed and they will praise or blame us
accordingly.

Rotarians Enjoy
Fine Program At
Phone Company

One of the most interesting meet
ings held in many months by the FL
Centre Rotary club, was staged yes
tcrday at the new club rooms of the
telephone company on State street
when the Rotarians were guests of
Manager l.. W. .Pettitt and the Pa
cific Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany.
With the cooperation of Frank
Beyschlag. farm advisor, Pettitt
showed a moving picture describing
the method of telephoning between
san Francisco and Plymouth, Eng
land, the film being a revelation to
all who saw it, depicting as 1t dld
the enormous organization that IL
behind even single telephone call
of such magnitude.
The various steps followed from
the time the call was placed in San
Francisco, until the Plymouth party
began talking, were outlined by
means of actual photographs and eN-
planatorv maps. Following this
film the Rotarians were delighted
with short semi-comedy, showing
the abuses to which the telephone Is
often subjected.
At the conclusion of the meeting
many of she Rotarians accepted
Manager Pettitt : invitation to in
spect the local plant and others who
were unable to spare the time yes

iuture.
