Cinema Owners Want the Model In Copper-Brown
Quota Abolished
ABUSE ALLEGED
Important suggestions for the amendment of the Films Act will be put forward by a deputation to the Board of Trado from the Cinematograph Exhibitors' Asμ- clation.
The deputation, which will be recolved by Dr. Bargin, the Parlin. mentary Secretary, will request the abolition of the quota clauses of the Act, under which every theatre must show a certain percentage of British Almu.
Alternatively, they suggest that The quota of British films should be reduced to 10 per cent, "until such time as a definite standard of quality can be determined."
At the present time and until September 30, 1935, all cinemas) must include 16 per cent. of Britian) films in their programmes.
In the years 1936 to 1938 they will be required to show 20 per cent.
A similar obligation rests upon film distributing organisations, who, in the perfod enaing Septem. ber 80, 1936, must Include 17 per cent. of Brition Aims in their output and in the 1936-38 period 20 per cent.
The exhibitors) request for relief to the Board of Trade is based on what they assert is an abuse of the Act on the part of distributors (anya a Dany Math correspondent).
American companies, it le claim- ed, frequently make or buy the films necessary to meet their quota) obligations without any regard at all to their quality.
