THE FUTURE OF

COLOUR FILMS

The successful exhibition of has "Becky Sharp" in London had the anticipated effect, and heightened the interest of British Alm producers in the new colour process to such an extent that the announcement of the forma- tion of a British Technicolor company is hourly expected. with laboratories near London, work- ing in association with Alexan- der Korda

and London Films, writes a correspondent.

For the past week dally" con- ference have been held be- tween Korda and his associate company, Gerrard Industries, and Dr. and Mrs. Kalmus, representing American Techni- colour. Dr. Kalmus has been in- vestigating the studio plant both at Isleworth, where Korda's com→ pany is temporarily located, and at Denham where the new studios are to be opened shortly, and,, I understand that the deal actually went through late in the week

The situation becomes more: 11-. teresting in view of the fact that, Korda, through Gerrard Indus- tries, already has a colour sys- tem of his own, known as "Hill- man Colourgravure, which one" time he thtended to use as the vehicle for "Lawrence of Arabia." He now COMES out with the frank statement that he will

abandon the Hillman process as such, although » 'cer-. tain of its principles may be in- corporated in the new patenta pool and useď In conjunction with Technicolour.

COLOUR THAT "KILL"

"You have to learn how one. range of colours will kill an- other," she says: "I don't · mean' kill in the artistic sense, but. literally destroy them. You can't" for instance,. use the strong hard colours along with the pastel shades. The colour in the Waterloo sequence of 'Becky Sharp' had all to to keyed up to the scarlet of the officers' uni- forms, I had to use strong greens, and blues, and reds, whereas in the drawing-room scenes I could-keep my palette down to the softer shades- mauve, and apricot, and dave- grey.

"A bright red can kill a pastel tint, if they are used too close together. Sometimes I've done it deliberately for a purpose. "give you a case in point. There was a picture we once made for Metro-Goldwyn that had a swan ballet, girls

DOZENS OF TRICKS

There are dozens of tricks ut that kind that have to be learnt by anybody who wants to work in Technicolour she went on. "It's less a study or art than a study of opties, and I'd always prefer to take a pupil without any of the preconceived art- school ideas of colour -and form. As colour potography develops, too, the tricks of the trade are constantly changing.”

The new Techicolour, used for the first time a year ago by Walt

Disney in his "Silly Symphonies," and breaking into the full fea- Eure

feld with "Becky Sharp,” is now working, according to Mrs. Kalmus, with a ful-colour palette. In the earlier days of Technicolor, at the time of

Such an occasion came la31 608- son, when he appered as the die- hard British sergeant in that eple of desert gallantry, "The Lost Patrol," made by RKO Ra- dio. Now comes an even greater, hls screen creation of Gype No- lan, a bulking brute who betrays his friend for a fee, and is relent- lessly hounded by his own bitter destiny.

COLOURFUL LIFE

No man in Hollywood has led a 5.ranger or more colourful" life than Vic McLanglen. The son of a bishop of The Church of Eng- land, he grew up a wanderer in all the world's far places.

He ran away from home and. enllated in the British Army. He became. Prix fighter and fought a no-decision fight with champion Jack Johnson. He tra- veled with medicine shows, acted in vaudeville and played in mo- Lon pictures here and abroad.

A captain in the British army, he served with the expeditionary force in Mesopotamia, and ended the word war as Provost-Marshal of the holy Arabian city of Bag- dad:

.i.

The fullness of time found him in Hollywood--and suddenly, in "The Cock-Eyed Word," he be- came world famous. The team of McLanglen and Edmund Lowe became popular wherever movies ire shown--and while the rough and ready, hard-boiled partner- ship brought him fame and filled his pockets, it hid too long his ability as a crestor of powerful. dramatic screen roles.

From this deadly routine "The Lost Patrol" rescued him last season, and his work in It is still talked about by true fim de- votees. After another 12-months: in mediocre movies, again Mc- Laglen breaks out in a thunder- ous role perfectly suited to his type and talents.

Vie McLaglen was a great and · comical. marine sergeant in his teaming days, surely but his "Lost Patrol" sergeant, and his mighty Gypo Nolan in "The In- former" w' be remembered by the faithful when The Cock- Eyed World" and its endless car- bon copies are long forgotten.
