Negotiations are at present in progress for the lease on long term of 22 mow of land for the Calds Mag. Orly, erection of studios, Modern equipment for the taking of sound pictures has already been pur chased and an expert from the Radio Corporation of America is due to arrive in Shanghai shortly to supervise the erection of the studios and the installation of the equipment. The Company intends to lease studio units to local companies and to encourage further Chinese companies to make sound and talking pictures. Not only will the Company obtain a handsome return on its capital by leas ing these units, but will also obtain a first refusal on all pictures produced at the studios.
When it is realised that good Chinese pictures rum in the cheaper-priced theatres longer than any foreign picture, the vast possibilities of Chinese pictures will be recognized.
There are less than 100 modern theatres in China, a strikingly small number when compared with the approximate number of 1,400 motion picture theatres in Japan, illustrating, the immense potentialities of the motion picture business, throughout China, which is at present in its infancy. Der A Wings
The theatres to be acquired will accommodate the release in China of the principal foreign Lane Crawi producers with whom the Company, through Mr. Lo' Kan, will have the advantage of favourable Mackintos contracts already entered into, and to, afford releases of Chinese productions which will shortly be available from several Chinese producing companies.

Among the many obvious advantages to be obtained from the consolidation of a large group of motion-picture theatres under centralised control, operation and management, may be men- tioned considerably reduced overhead expenditure, and increased revenue resulting from a selected distribution and better exploitation of the latest pictures, et
By having a chain of theatres under unified control the Company, will be able to establish purchasing offices in the picture producing centres in the USA. and England, enabling direct contact to be maintained with some 25 or more producers who have no direct representation in China at the present time,kadan
