REFEREE'S DUTY TO TELL

Footballers Sometimes Forget About The Laws

By Ivan Sharpe

London.

Should a referee tell? The question arises because the Grima- by Town team lost a goal to Leeds United in their First Division match through not knowing-or forgetting-the law. When the Grimsby goalkeeper (Preedy) was penalised for carrying the ball more than the permitted four steps a free kick was awarded five yards from the centre of the goal. The home team knew a goal could not be scored direct from the free-kick but lost sight of an other important provision, namely, that a player of the offending side "shall not approach within ten yards of the ball until it is in play unless he be standing on his own goal-line, between the goal. posts,"

British- American Film Merger

To Broaden Market For English Pictures

RKO and Herbert Wilcox, British producer, have formed an American- British producing company, Impera- tor-Radio Pictures, Lid., in which they will be equal partners in from two to four features a year, to be made in Hollywood and London, with RKO stars appearing in Eng- land and Wilcox stars appearing in Hollywood.

Anna Neagle, stor of "Queen Victoria" and "Sixty Glorious Years," will make her first film in Hollywood in the spring under the deal,

George J. Schaefer, RKO president, and Mr. Wilcox, who made the arrangements recently in Hollywood, described the project as the only existing joint producing arrange- ment between American and British interests.

This move has been aimed to broaden the American and world markets for British films, first by using British stars in Hollywood pic- tures, acquainting the American pubile with players important in England but unfamiliar to American audiences. These players taler would appear in British Aims,
