LONDON, May 5.—-General im-

makers. .referred to in England as
cinema producers.
Four years ago 96 per cent. of the
films shown in the United Kingdom
were of American manufacture. The
figure now has dropped to approxi-
mately 75 per cent. and British pro-
will come into their own with the
general revival of British industries.
While film making in England still
is in “if: industrial infancy. compared
to America's great moving picture in-
dustry, investments in the work are

Progress has been slow but sure
in British scenario writing. according
to the head of one English producing
firm and good British films now at-
tract as large audiences as do good
American films. The happiest sign
that the British producer notes is that
where the merits of American and
British films are equal the British
public prefers British films.
British films are making slow but
steady progress in British dominions
and colonies but producers here be-
lieve there is a well crganlzed boy-
