There were, lively scenes at the annual meeting last month in London of Gaumont British Pic- ture Corporation, the £21,000,000 cinema company, whose affairs have been prominent lately in connection with reports of nego- tiations for a change in its con- trol..

Mr. Mark Ostrer, Chairman' and Managing Director of the Com- pany, mond the adoption of the accounts, but shereholders showed an attitude far from sympathetic.

An amendment was moved, and carried on a show of hands, that the report and accounts be not adopted, and that a committee of investigation be appointed.

Chairman's Appeal

On the vote being taken, Mr. Ostrer, after counting, said: There seems to be very little in it.

A voloe: I challenge that. The amendment was carried.

Another voice: I counted the hands. There were 80 for the amendment and 40 against,

Mr. Ostrert It was very nice or you to take the trouble to count, but you are inaccurate.

A shareholder: It will be neces- sary to take apoll. (Cries of "Bit down.").
