TALKIE FILMS
PRODUCTION IN ENGLAND
AMERICAN DECISION
Received 30th April, 3 p.m.) ■ ■■ : •LONDON,'. 2 : 9 th. April. A sum of £.8,000,000 will be spent by American companies upon film productions in England in the coming year, in addition to £3,000,000 in France and Germany. The chief reasoa is the necessity of finding an outlet for the immense profits of the Paramount organisation, which were £12,000,000 in 1929. The Americans are also convinced that "talkies" in European languages must be made in Europe, and the British quota law makes it prob-. able that English production will be. profitable despite the serious blow to Hollywood.
