You hear no complaint, except
from Loew's, Inc, about the re-
ception accorded private Life OF
Henry WILL" or Catherine the
Great" by American exhibitors.
They played first run theaters in
all key cities and were accorded
generous treatment by both critics
and moviegoing public because
they had genuine entertainment
value.
Loew'S rejected the opportunity
to buy these features for Wash
ington and other spots because
mot having seen them Screened)
they figured they were like the
average English picture-second
rate. A very bad guess, indeed.

On the other hand England has
sent over such features as Sun

with much preliminary ballyhoo
to the general effect that they
were what the American producer
would call colossal. When ex-
hibited here they proved to be
very ordinary celluloid, failed
everywhere.

as we'll as producing if it would
compete successfully for the Amer

their stars a "build-up."
In the latest broadside announc-
ing campaign to place British
pictures on American screens l
find these stars and featured play
els mentioned: Jessie Matthews,
Sonnie Hale, Betty Balfour,
George Robey, Fritz Korner, Con-
rad Veidt, Evelyn Laye, Yvonne

Anna May Wong. Put them all
together and their names are not
worth 10 cents on an F Street

movie customers. Nor on Broad
way either.
Four Favorites
George Arliss in The Iron
Duke" is the only name in the
British publicity broadcast who
means a penny to the American
exhibitor.
The monocled Mr.. ArliSs-and
hope they make him Sir George
soon-is a Hollywood made pro-
Duct insofar as his motion pic
ture popularity is concerned al
though he is still loyal subject
of His Majesty.
For that matter the four favor
tie English actors in America,
Ronald Colman, Leslie Howard,
Herbert Marshall and Mr.. ArlisS
are California-made screen celeb
rites.
I think English pictures had a
real find" in Elizabeth Bergner,
diminutive star of Catherine the
Great" but just as her name was
beginning to mean something for
our first run cinemas Hollywood
is permitted to lure her away.
Why did they let Charles Laugh
ton of merrie England-who won
the American Academy gold
medal for the best screen acting
of 1888 Though not with my Vote)
depart from Elstree.
They relinquished these English
stars, who have become estab
lished, and then crow about the
acquisition of some title-chasing
American star who has been a
"has been" at the box office here
for many months.
Improve Product
I take the word of every Ameri-
can producer and exhibitor with
whom have talked over period
of years that the American screen
is wide open to those who can Of
fer pictures which can be sold at
a profit. Hollywood doesn't make
enough features to supply the first
run market.
incidentally, the British inter
ests, who are proceeding so mill
family to try and win the Ameri-
can market, put every kind of a
restriction on the Hollywood prod
uct in London. They have even

publicity that eminate from the
studios, the still pictures, litho-
graphs and national advertising
are part of a costly selling cam

Goldwyn spent more than $780,
900 publicizing Anna Stem before
her first picture was flashed on
an American screen.

A grand jury investigation of the
municipal lottery was threatened
today as Mayor F. H. LaGuardia
and the city assembly learned
they are liable to arrest If their
plan to raise relief funds is held
illegal.

bility that the mayor or members
of the assembly would be jailed,

voted against the lottery resolu-

other relief measures.
Mayor LaGuardia himself may
be the one to kill the measure.
Bowling to a deluge of protests
from business men and the clergy,
he announced he would grant a
public hearing on the plan next
week. He let it be known that he
is not certain he will give final ap-
prevail to the plan which he voted
for before the board of estimate.

rather one of dietary habits, Ben
jamin Goldberg, Associate Professor
Of Incidence at the University of
Illinois, told 300 medical and social
welfare experts attending the annual
meeting of the tuberculosis Sanitar-
ium Conference OF Metropolitan New
York at the Hotel McAlpin last week.
''The races which seem more prone
to the severe or malignant types of
tuberculosis are the Indian, Negro,
native-born Irish and Scadinavian,"
he said. "At the other extreme, hav-
ing a high resistance and tending to
develop tuberculosis Of a more be-
nign type, are the Italians and Jews.
Drolet, in New York City demon
strated an average of two to three
living Negro cases to each Negro
death, while there were eight living
Jewish tuberculosis cases to every
