Colour Craze by British Concerns

WHAT'S SHOWING IN

LONDON

London, Nov. 13. -

It is stated that British films are going colour crazy. Probably £1,- 000,000 has been spent in this country in the past two years in colour film research and tests. And now, at last, the studios nre.com. fident they are going to see their money back. B.I.P. are first in the field. They have just completed two Important scenes of their "Radio Parade of 1935" in Dufay- colour. The virtue of this British system is that the colour is register. ed on one negative and appears in the developing. The added cost of film-making by this process goos almost entirely in the extra light- Ing required in the studio.

Lantion Films have adopted the Hillman Colour Gravure process, sponsored by Gerrard Industrica. Mr. Alexander Korda has joined the board of Gerrard's, and hopes to start his colour film career next year with "Lawrence of Arabia." A. D. Hillman, the inventor la an optical mathematician.

Rubber Absorption Increase

World absorption of crudo rub. ber increased 84 per cent in the frat six months of 1934 as com- pared with the corresponding six months of 1983; the figures being 510,846 long tons and 381,915 long tons, respectively.

According to dependable sources improved world economic condi- tions and the restriction of rubber output by producing countries are the two chief factors. responsible for the larger demand for the commodity. In the first instance, world economie recovery would require

increased amounte of staple commodities like rubber, and the threat of higher prices through restriction of output would stimulate consuming coun- tries to Increase crude rubber stocks, it is believed.
