CHAIN OF THEATRES.
AN EMPIRE ENTERPRISE. AUSTRALIAN ACT CRITICIBED. WARNING TO DOMINION. (By Telegrapn.—press Association.) AUCKLAND, Monday. Mr. Stuart F. Doyle, who is a passenger by the Monterey, interviewed to-day, said he has sold his large theatre Interests in Australia and aims to establish an Empire-wide ohain of theatres. On a site in Piccadilly there is now being erected a vast amusement centre to cost £500,000. The next move will be the erection of five new theatres in South Africa. Extensions will be made In Canada and. India later. “ The Cinema Quota Aot in New South Wales and Victoria has been a dismal failure,” he said. “It has driven me out of picture production in Australia to England where encouragement is being given to picture production. I sincerely trust New Zealand, in a misplaced desire to support local production, does not fall Into the same pitfall as Australia.”
