WHAT'S SHOWING IN

LONDON

London, Nov. 13. ·

It is stated that British films are going colour crazy. Probably £1,- this 000,000 has been spent in country in the past two years in colour film research and tests. And now, at last, the studios are con- Odent 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 1936" 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 cont of film-making by this process ЯOCA almost entirely in the extra light- ing required in the studio.

London Films have adopted the Hillman Colour Gravure process, sponsored by Gerrard Industries. Mr. Alexander Korda has joined the bourd of Gerrard's, and hopes to start his colour film career next year with "Lawrence of Arnbla." A. D. Hillman, the inventor is an optical mathematician. He has spent five years and more than £50,- ORG €12 the process. Colour is obtained by the use of filters on black and white fim. It is claimed that the only additional cost to this system is in the royalties on the patent.

Gaumont British are still spend- ing at least £10,000 a year un test- ing and research. They are trying out systems at the rate of one a romantle of the month. Most British colour A processes is Cincealour. It In the result of twenty years' research, at a cost of £200,000 by Mr. S. J. Cox of Man-

Rubber Absorption Increase

10,

1934.

World absorption of crude rub- Iber increased. 34 per cent: In the first six mouths of 1934 as cum- pared with the corresponding six months of 1933, 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 economic recovery would of amounts require increased staple commodities like rubber, and the threat of higher prices through restriction of output. would stimulate consuming coun-t tries to Increase crude rubber storks, it is believed.

FEW DECREASES

There were only three major rubber manufacturing countries whose absorption of rubber was less in the drst six months of 1934 Thon In the corresponding period of 1933 namely, Australio, 7.798 tons. to 4,883 Luns, 37 per rent.; France, 33,062 to 27.400, 17 per cent. and Japan, 36,267 to 3,182, 3 per cent.

All other countries registered increases in their takings of rub- Jer, some of the important in- treases being United States, 182,- 580 tons to 260,818 tons, 43 per cent, increase: United Kingdom. 47.014 to 57,418, 55 per cent.; Canada, 7,178 to 13,831, 92 per cent. Czechoslovakia, 3.439 to 6,751, 96 per cent.; Germany, 26,- 192 to 37,371. 43 per cent.; Italy. 11,084 to 12.369, 12 per
