and
It is good, perhaps, that our great League and Cup matches are fought out to the frequent laughter of the watching crowds, for a laugh will ruin the tensest situation-and competition is such nowadays, that these situations do sometimes occur.
No doubt my referee and linesmen friends will give this statement hearty approval with a strong reservation. For let me whisper it!-nothing delights a crowd so much as to have good laugh at the expense of one of the officials of the game.
The merriment is never malicious, but the Briton loves to have a laugh at his watchdogs. The football referee in this case comes within the same category as the policeman and who can resist a laugh at a police man?

SILLY FILMS.
~ SAUSAGE MADE-
TOO STUPID FOR OUR KINEMAS,
The critical faculty of the kinema been growing into public has maturity, while that of the film- maker, who believes in quantity has stood still,
A good number of United States film producers, while making "vast improvements in photography and lighting generally. have not only filmed worse stories than those of seven or eight years ago but have also narrowed their vision to the point of seeing and knowing nothing of the world outside America.
Exhibitors here admit the stupidi- ties of the sausage-made films. The renters agree, and lately have sent back to the United States a fairly big percentage of pictures as too silly for exhibition, or have placed them upon their cellar shelves to await
shipment in batches to their country of origin.
Some of the pictures which have been exhibited here have had no
showing in the United States, being too bad for screening. Others shown to exhibitors at what are called trade shows have never been heard of again. But there are others which get on the screen by the system of ị" block booking. They are thrown in with a batch containing one or two good pictures, the whole
