Admittedly the business in Eng- land is in ‘ts infancy as com; with that in the United States. A Jew months ago optimistic views were entertained, but it is impos- sible to escape the jact that a note of pessimism can be heard at Els- tree and Welwyn, the centers of the industry in the United Kingdom. Mysterious influences are ru- mored at work, and there are those who say attacks have been engi- neered from the United States to defeat what the American film ‘magnafes consider as possibly dan- gerous English competition. In the circumstances it is timely to describe what is being done in the English studios, and following is the secomd of three dispatches ;}lwma a bird’s-eye view of condi- “tions. 5¢ Amorife Imported Manila Cigars 8 rr 25¢ Box of 50 $1.49 Every smoker will enjoy these Gold, Three Kings, imported Menila Cigars.

Maurice Elvey, Gaumont's producer in chief, is now at work on his first talk film. This is “High Treason,” based on Pemberton Billing’s play of that name. The action takes place in 1949. Mr. Elvey has had plenty of scope for his imagination and he uses all the re- urces of trick photography. glass hots” and models for this forecast of life 20 years hence. When I visited the studio T was drawn into a whirl of a night club of the future. Men in knee breeches, silk | stockings and white shirts were danc- ing with women who wore knee breeches beneath their slit skirts. There were 200 of them and the pink and mauve luster encrusted on the futuristic walls of the club enhanced the color of the scene. ‘The people danced to & phantom or- chestra consisting of the usual in- struments, from which music issued without human agency and the waiters, still handing round the inevitable cock- tail (tastes in drink appear not to alter in 20 years), wore white waterproof tunics and trousers set off with crim- son sashes.

Mr. Elvey, who has made more films than any other British director, was originally a stage producer and now that the talkie has arrived he wants to produce stage plays again, presenting them in the theater first and filming them afterward. He insists, however, that when a play is turned into a talkie it must first be reduced to film form, and that the dialogue must be fitted in to suit the picture. Mr. Elvey recalls the time when there were no film captions, but when men stood at the side of the screcn and ex- plained the emotions of the heroine. “When captlons first came,” he sald, “they were worded in the third person. | Then we discovered that the public ! was ready to accept words on the i screen as coming from the mouths of the characters, and now here we are ! with our shadows actually talking.” } Among the important films produced % by the Gaumont British Co. during|% | the last few years are “Hindle Wakes,” | with Estelle Brody, John Stuart and | Norman McKinnell: “Roses of Picardy,” | with Jameson Thomas, John Stuart iand Lilian Hall-Davies; “Palais de ;Dunse." with Mabel Poulton; *“Mad- | emoiselle From Armentieres,” “Sailors | Don’t Care” and “Smashing Through.” i The stars in “High Treason” are n | Jameson Thomas, Benita Hume and For Greater Distance and Durability Use Bee-Line Golf Balls Cannon Brand 18x36 Inches oty 29¢ Soft snowy-white towels made of good weight absorbent ma- terial by the world's largest towel manu- facturers. $1.25 Pinaud’s Lilac Vegetal 89c 60c Pompeian Massage Cream 38¢ 65¢ .]ar Pond’s Cold S s | Sewonet & #1 Size Squibbs Mineral 0il 69c 50¢ Stuart’s Dyspepsig Tablets 39 $1 Tyree’s Antiseptic Powder No need to pay more for a first-class golf ball.
