They say that, with the natural lead given them oy the war, the Americans bid fair, if unrestricted, to permanently cripple British film en- terprise. And 1 read between the lines the expression of thelr real fear—that the Americans will not only monopo- lize the production but will become owners ur builders and owners of the best cinema houses throughout the United Kingdom, so that in all good] vlaces British and even Continental | films will be shut off as by the work- ings of a trust, and intelligent people going to a first class house in London or Manchester or Edinburgh must see American films dr films made by Americans, ‘They assert further that they have unwarily helped to bring this condi- tion about; that actual British capital has been advanced to throttle an infant British industry! ‘And, of course, they raise the insular ery: “We are tired of seeing nothing but your comic domestic problems In the States; we are tired of your divorces, of your rich young heroes, of your silly ingenues, of your platitudes and bromides put up for the consumption of your funny censors under the guise of dramas of real life.” But The Evening World is able to £0 a little further into the other aide of the story than any one else has. yet gone; that is, to tell of some of the future plans of the invaders, as well as ahronicle their visible enter- prises of the moment. Just before Ho left for Washington Mr. Flinn said to me: “We have no desire to flood Mngland, or Europe, with merely American pictures, We want to produce English pictures for Hngland, but with the material help of our resources at their fullest ex- pansion. We have sent Capt. Kauf- man to London to take charge of our office vhere, and Hugh Ford and other directors are on their way. We expect to send Elsie Ferguson abroad ences of opinion as to our scenarios and their subject-matter, but with the pictorial, mechanical, actorial and directorial qualities of the films them- selves there can be no dispute—we course, Italy had done quite a lot in pictures when the gong of war John C, Flinn of the Famous Players-Lasky organization epent | struck; France had made headway; yesterday,and the day before in Washington conferring with various | mngiand was trying to make pic- of the State Department in an endeavor to arrive at some basts upon | tures, and even Germany was ham- England and the United States can come to an understanding on their | mering out some lumbering efforts, ‘@arlike motion picture situation. but in the months that have elapsed ©) | Phe whole affair is of peculiar interest because it concerns, perhaps, the | since July, 1914, America has pic- deen head and front of the art importers, It was as natural to expect} There are, of course, two sides to the determined opposition to Famous m Germany as it was to expect an exportation of pork and standard | Players in England. The British complaint is that these invaders Goodbye, Indigestion! — in the autumn to make pieturea, just ag we expect to send Marguerite Clark and other of our people across. We will secure the co-operation of the best authors in the world. You might say, in fact, that this is an authorial quest more ghan anything else, and that our motives have been wholly misjudged. We have already won the elusive Mr. Barrie to pic- tures-~we are producing “The Admir- able Crichton’ tn California—but we want to do other atories of his where we believe he would wish them to be done~in their native surroundings, We are confident that we will secure Peter Pan,’ which, with ‘Ben Hur,’ has always been the great unattain- able prize of the picture makers— just because we are establishing our- selves on the ground where Mr. Bar- rie’s most treasured pieces ought to be made.

We are endeavoring to take what: we have—which they haven't— and combine it with what they have -which we haven't. That's all there is to it, and if that isn’t a practical and helpful union for both parties, please show us why.” In the mean time other Americans are active in other fields. Richard A. Rowland, President of Metro—whose trip to Italy was chronicled in this column some time ago—is actively combining forces with the leading Italian cinemists, ond hopes not only. to distribute the Italian-made pictures which have been piling up sino® the war, but to ‘build a huge studio and all that sues with it in Italy, on the Amer- ms plan. a. W. Hammons, general uo of Educational, who has just re. turned from the other side, say: ‘There is no material, or prac- tically none, of the kind we want in Europe now. Of 60,000 feet I viewed, a bare thousand feet—a single reel— met our standard. I left five of my men to work in England, France and Italy to secure the sort of film we must have. I sent another man into Germany to take scenes of present- asy conditions, The foreign market does not have the material, nor can it produce it. We can make pictures at half the cost endured by the Eng- Nish manufacturer, and our pictures will be twice ag good as his. Talk of & boycott of American pictures w/'! amount to nothing. There are ©.) picture theatres in England: hove Will soon be 8.000, and if the Ly 'tint film men did band together to keep American film out they could not succeed, The public simply wouldn't put up with it. Practically all that they are looking at in both England and France, now, is American pic- tures,” Meanwhile, two British cinemato- Sraphic companies, having a joint capital of $8,000,000, have been formed for the production and pres- entation of motion pictures on a scale never before attempted across the water, One of the companies, oper- ating with a capital of $5,000,000, proposes to erect beautiful motion picture theatres on the American plan in Liverpool. Manchester, Birm- ingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Shef- field Hull, Middleborough, Leeds and Nottingham.
