CANADA'S THIRD SUCCESSIVE WIN.
Bisley, July 12-The coveted Kola- pore Cup returns to Canada for the third year in succession and the twelfth time since it was instituted in 1871. Eight of the bost shots
cessfully defended the trophy from Ride Asaccintion's meeting suc- teams representing England, India, Jersey and Guernsey on the ranges this afternoon.
In the House of Commons Com-arong Canadians here for the Na- mittee on the Cinematograph Films Bill last month, Colonel Day, deal ing with the false atmosphere given to the films of British stories by American producers, said "Tess" in "Tess of the Durbervilles" was made more or less a night club queen. Peter in "Peter Pan, Was supposed to shout for the King, and was made to shout for "George Washington."
Colonel Wedgwood-Hour, hear, A jolly good thing to shout for. Colonel Day-Very likely but British producer would not have done it.
Further consideration was given to the requirements in the Cinema. tograph Films Bill which must be satisfied before a film is deemed to be a British film and recognised for quota purposes.
The third requirement, which was the first dealt with that day, is that the author of the scenario must have been a British subject.
Sir Henry Foster moved an amendment requiring that the pro- ducer also must be a British sub- ject, but with the proviso that this should not come into force till three years after the coming into operation of the Act.

About Producers, Colonel Wedgwood opposed the amendment on the ground that it would restrict the number of pro- ducers available to such an extent that they would be able to ask high and hampering fees because of the absence of any competition.

LORD BIRKENHEAD'S HUMOUR.
BRIGHT SPEECH DURING DEBATEAN LORDS.
BISHOP'S BILL THROWN OUT.
By 144 votes to 36, the House of Lords last month rejected, after a second reading debate, the Liquor (Popular Control) Billin- troduced by the Bishop of Liver- pool.
Lord Birkenhead kept the House in an almost continuous burst of laughter as he rallied Lord Russell from his tentative sup- port of the partial prohibition which the Bill would produce.
Mention was made in the de- bate of a licensee who posted up a notice that nobody was to he allowed more than two drinks in an evening.

Mr. A. V. Alexander raised a difficult question--What is a pro- dincer?
Mr. Kelly was satisfied there was no such person as a "producer,”
Sir P. Cunliffe-Lister quoted a definition in a subsequent clause of the Bill "The expression producer in relation to any film means the person responsible for the organisa- tion of the scenes to be depicted on the films."
