"CLOSE AT
HAND"
A time close at hand-when cinemas would show current events» by television was visualised by Mr. Robert Finnigan, president of the Theatrical, and Kine Employes Association, at a conference in Lon- don recently.
It was no wild prophesy, he said, that the time was quite close when at least 300 cinemas in the United Kingdom would be equipped for exhibition television,
"The cinema public wait for it.") "It will show them things as they he added: "and talk about it in are. The news-reel gives the such keen anticipation that its things as they were, but there is success is assured.
THIS GOT HIS
GOAT
A goat in Cologne, has had a £ meal. The daughter of a dairy owner, after collecting money from "the customers of his round, placed it on the kit- chen" table. As it was a hot day she left the door open.
Soon after a goat wandered In from the yard outside and noticed the heap of money on the table.
It took a 50-mark note from the heap and ate it.
SCREEN
MIKADO"
Work on the film version of "The |Mikado," the Arst Gilbert and Sull- ivan opera to be screened, has started at Pinewood studios, Iver
nothing so old as yesterday's news.
"That is why television will stir the public's pulse and looseri its purse-string."
Dealing with the question of higher prices for cinema scats, Mr. Finnigan said:
"I do not think that the public would complain against a small general increase of cinema admis. slon prices if they thought it was the only. means. of bringing jadequate remuneration to the
workers."
Members in the flm studios, he sald, had had a bad time, but” thè prospects were not definitely bright. The new Flim Act ought to give a stimulus to British production,

In a luxury suite at the Savoy Hotel, in whose kitchens he once worked as cook, I talked to Shirley. Temple's favourite chef, writes a Home correspondent.
Bronzed, grey-moustached M. Edgard Kina. Belgian born. Is the Menu dictator of another world famous hotel, the Royal Hawallan, at Honolulu,
And his popularity with the little flm star comes not from the exotic dishes which he prepares, but be. cause he let her play in his kitchens when she was on holiday in, Honolulu.
"Shirley's menu is always of the simpleat; just lamb chops, vegetables, and fruit,” said M. Kina, "I have often, wanted her

To M. Kina, preparing menus for some of the world's richest and most cosmopolitan tourista, is" a fascinating job.

"Most of my menus contain all dishes usual in European luxury hotels. But there are, too. my Hawaiian dishes.

Half the British films brought into the province of Ontario have had
bo to amended before they could be shown. This revealed in the annual report of the Ontario. Board of Matlon Picture: Cen-
sors
In comparison, less than a Bith of the number imported from the United States had to be changed, the chairman of the Board, Mr. O. J Silverthorne states in the re- port. ·
The actual figures were: British pictures, £9.4 (49 point.
4) per cent; American, 18.4
(18 point 4) per cent.
"In the light of these facts.“ the report adds. "the only con- clusion this board can arrive at Is. that the British producer appears to show less inclination to adapt himself to American customis, or he probably prefers to accept.the Continental attitude in preparing his productions for presentation in the United States."
Anti-democratic propaganda, has replaced "mut and suggestive- ness" as the board's most compli- cated problem, the report says.
