America Wants More British Pictures
MUST BE GOOD.
Samuel Cohen, an official of, United Artists, who recently Tare rived in Britain from New York, has some interesting things tó may about British pictures in America.
"Eighteen months ago," he anid In an interview, "you could empty a roomful of American cinema proprietors quicker by shouting "British pictures' than by hollering 'Fire!'
"In less than two years, however, the status of the British produc- tion has changed from that of a
poor despised relation to that of an honoured guest. But when I say that, I am thinking of such pictures as 'Henry VIII. and four er five others of the same calibre..
"Unfortunately, many so-called outstanding British pictures are Hiko a million-dollar cheque on a ruined bank-they look impressive, they promise great things, but you can't cash in on them, not In America, anyhow.

'Henry VIII. have made it easier
to sell British pictures in America than two years ago, but some short- -sighted British producers and dis- tributors, believing that America is now a wide-open market, are rush- ing in with a lot of pictures which they know, or should know, have no chance whatever of success in the United States, pictures which
lack scope, are too limited in ap-
pen, too national, or too insular.
Not only will these people ruin the markot for themselves, but also they will make it harder to sell the really big British productions. ·

"My advice to the British pre- ducer

"America will always welcome pictures that are big in every sense of the word-in quality, in enter tainment value, in box-office draw ing power. Those are the pictures that will enhance the prestige of -the British Industry, and those.ars the pictures that will make

COMEDIAN FROM SCOTLAND

With Laurel and Hardy together again, and. plans for their length feature well under way, Hal Ronch is bringing Jimmy Finlay non, the well-known comedian from Scotland, to play a featured role in support of the team.
The charge was one of cruelty. Miss Bruce obtained her pro- visional decree on May 25 of last year. At the same time she was awarded custody of their baby girl, then aged nine months.
Miss Bruce was Mr. Gilbert's third-wife. They were married-in August 1932.
Mr. Gilbert's previous wives were Beatrice Joy and Ina Claire.

MUSSOLINI LOOKS FOR NO WARS
PROSPECT OF PEACE IMPROVED
TENSION REDUCED
Prospects of
Rome. peace in Europe have Improved, despite the futility of disarmament efforts, Premier Benito Mussolini told the Chamber of Deputies in a speech on Foreign affairs.
He showed firmness but not: belligerenco in his reference to the, Italian-Abyssinian dispute.
"The European political atmos phere has undergone great im- provements," Mussolini said. "It is to be hoped that no condition may arise at this point to disturb
It.
"There is no use complaining about the failure of Germany to accept the disarmament plan out- lined in the Italian memorandurm, as it is of no avail to continue to talk of disarmament.
"The Strom conference, with- out
exaggerating. its Intrinsic worth, was sufficiently conclusive, Inasmuch as it established the solidarity of the three Western powers (Britain, France and Italy) on certain questions. It is evident that solely through such solidari. ty is it possible to solve more im portant questions and insure a brighter future on the Continent of Europe."
Mussolini indicated every effort would be made to settle the pro- blems of Central Europe by hold- ing the projected conference of the Danubian states, although not as early as had been expected. The conference cannot be held in June as announced, he said, sa that would be "premature." He said the recent Venice meeting of Italy, Austria and Hungary was
the Danubian conference. intended to prepare the way for
"It would not be idlo to say a would few words to those who like to nail us to the Brenner frontier in order to impede any
"It will be defended." action in other directions," he said.
The Brenner frontier in North- ern Italy was Austrian territory before the War.
ABYSSINIA
About the Abyssinian question, Mussolini said.
"The Abyssinian menace is not potential but a concrete one, steadily increasing, and is such as to Impel us to regard the pro- blem in its crudest aspect."
He said the menace dates back to 1925.--
"It seemed a treaty could be concluded tending to promote our commercial expansion in that part of Africa composed of races and customs which is Abyssinian."
