MOVING PICTURES.
BRITISH FILMS ENCOURAGED. Even, the most ardent patron of the moving picture houses will agree with hte general sentiments of the revised Kinema Bill niqw before Parliament. It seeks to. encourane the exhibition of British films in his country, a.nd is in fact the 'outcome C|f an Empire-wide agreement made at the last-Imperial Conference. When it is realised that nearly£2oo,ooo goes to America from the pockets of kinema adherents inf New Zealand alone it is clear that every encouragement should be given British enterprise to capture at least a portion of what must be'in the aggregate a huge sum. Under an increasing scale exhibitors will be asked to show in New Zealand a proportion of British films, rising from 5 per cent, in 1930* to 20 per f cent, in 1939. It is gratifying to know that in spite of a certain amount of opposition, exhibitors have agreed to adopt this proportion voluntarily in a sincere desire to assist films.
