POTENTIAL FILM WEALTH IN MALAYA

When the Singapore office of Columbia Pictures Inc. opens its doors on Oct. 1 next, under the style of "Columbia Pictures (Mal- aya) Inc." its business will be supervised by Mr. S. Samuels who has been associated with the alm trade, in both its production and distribution departments, for the last thirty years.

Interviewed by a "Malaya Tri- bune" representative, Mr. Samuels said that his first association with Almas was when he was attached to Fox Film Corporation, of which company he had been the mana- ging director for ten years. "After that I was distributing Columbia Pictures in the Dutch East Indies." Mr. Samuels said.

"I lived in South Africa for about 30 years," Mr. Samuels went on, "and I have travelled extensively, indeed all over the world. I have been in the East for the last 17 years, having been off and on in Java. Straits Settlements, Europe and America.

"Theres big potential wealth for pictures in Malaya, and I think that Columbia will be able to re- lease more Alms here than any- where else."

"Since the beginning of 1936", Mr. Samuels went on. "no, Columbia Pictures have arrived in Malaya. and when the Singapore office opens, there is a very attractive selection of pictures for alm-fans. "In spite of the fact that this

an English-speaking country not all the people understand English, so that we have to be very careful in selecting pictures for screening here. Pictures are more easily understood from mimic and action than trom the dialogue. and that is why a plcture which relles entirely on its dialogue is not likely to be popular here while It is practically useless in the Dutch East Indies." "

Continuing Mr Samuels sald that in Java there were a number of producing companies who were "Columbia Pictures have branchdevoting their attention to the offices throughout the East except production of films with native in Java and Singapore.

Columbia Pictures inc. are par- ticularly specialising in pictures which contain a lot of action and they are also very interested in animal films for instance, we have already produced jungle pictures and big serials. And that is why Columbia Pictures will do a very big business in this territory.

SONG OF THE CITY

There is the distinct melody of modern life in the crowded places. with all its overtones and minor chords, in the new picture at the King's Theatre, appropriately titled "Song of the City."
