Beveral days later Aunt Patsy looked nerosa the table as Lucy slp- ped her breakfast coffee. "Seen the paper this morning?" she asked. Lucy shook her head.

"Woll, take a look at this," Patsy sald, handing the paper to her nioco. Staring out at her from the newspaper page, Lucy saw a photo- graph of Jerry and a beautiful young girl. They ware wearing ten- als clothes and carrying rackets. The caption asked, "Love Set?" Lucy was startled, of course, but abo tried to conceal it from Patey, "Oh yes," she said nonchalantly, "That's Barbara Vanco, You know who she is, don't you?”

Film for 3d.

NE of my theories, to which I cling obstinately through the years, is that no film is worth more than two shillings to BEC. As it happens, not many people, in proportion to the whole, have to pay this.

Indeed, value for money was never more graphically exemplified in the his- tory of entertainment than at cinema box-offices. Sam Goldwyn spends £400,000 on a picture. The luckily pros- perous are milked of 8s. d. to see it in London's West End; but the same picture can presently be seen by the Irish peasantry for threepence!

This, and a thousand other telling facta, I glean from the 25th issue of the Kinematograph Year Book (Kinemato-" graph Publications, 108.).

Film production, for instance, goes on in countries from which I never see n pleture. Japan, for example, turns out more pictures than Hollywood, and there are, apparently, active studios in Norway, Jugoslavia, Greece and Turkey.

To-day, there are 5,179 cinemas in the British Isles, ranging from the 4,000- seat super-palaces in Glasgow and London to the 80-seat barna in the Highland wilds, where Aims may arrive for a once- a-week show.
