After a period of depression, the British film industry is show-| ing all the marks of confidence and
Buccess. Two or three new talkies are being complete each week by one or other of the movie companies now operating in Britain; and with the increase in output goes a corresponding improvement in quality... Nevertheless, there is one complaint about British films which is made so insistently from so many different quarters that the industry might be well advised to give it
attention.
It is that British films revenl little or nothing of the national temperament, ambitions, and out-
look.
