Move for Amendment of Quota Act
In Soft Chinese Blue Ring Velvet
BLOCK BOOKING TOO WITH WING SLEEVES
The Films Advisory Committed. have decided to press for the amend- ment of the Act in respect of the quality of quota films, according to Mr. G. R. Hall Caine, M.P., a mem- 'ber of the Committee.
His remarks at a meeting In Lon- don indicated that the subject of the quota "quickle" had been en- gaging the attention of the Con- mittee, who had brought forward a report for early submission to the Board of Trade,
It was anticipated, he said, that an early move should be made by Mr. Runciman to secure an amend- ment of the Act, and little oppost- tion would be expected when the matter came before the House,
The Advisory Committee, con- tinued Mr. Hall Caine, had thoroughly examined each clause of the Act, and were of the option that legislation that met the de- mands of the industry some six or soven years ago was out of date to- day.
One of the most elegant of the new evening gowns for wear at home is expressed in Chinese blue "ring" velvet, chich is softer and more supple than autin. The wing sleeves of blue net are embroidered with butterfly coloured silka,
It was also anticipated that re- ference would be made in the Com- mittee's report to the practice of block booking, and amendments in this direction are also expected.
Mr. Hall Caine pointed out that the Films Act had dune conalder- able good to the British dtm in- dustry. It had made it possible for British producing companies to secure the necessary capital and to make extensions to their studios, MOCHA PUDDING But when the Act was first intro- duced, certain loopholes were not forescen, and it is considered, in the Interests of the British in dustry, essential to tighten up the law on these points.

The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Henry Morgenthau, Jr., told the United Press in an interview hore that corporations would get a fair deal on taxation of their surplus

When the film unit returned to the British and Dominions Studios at Boreham Wood, babies had to be secured from the neighbourhood for the London scenus, and three more have been employed up to the scene where the child, having aged by several months, dies.
Mr. Guy T. Helvering, Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue, and Mr. Robert 1. Jackson, assistant gen- eral tax counsel for the Treasury, participated in the Morgenthau interview.
