cumbered with excessively detailed knowledge and associations. He gets a fresh slant on things. For instance, I should hate to try to make a Hungarian film, while I would love to make one about the Highlands that would be a really national Scottish film — and indeed I plan to do so. The best Hungarian film I have ever seen was made by the Belgian, Jacques Feyder. I believe that Clair could make a better London picture than any of the English directors — a London film that would be international. I know there are people who think it odd that a Hungarian from Hollywood should direct an English historical film, but I can't see their argument. " The greatest folly is to set out to try to suit everybody. It is the sure road to insincerity and artificiality. The result will be a mongrel film which belongs to no country." "Whom do you think are the directors of to-day most capable of making really international films, Mr. Korda?" "Every good director. But you must make up your mind for yourself which they are. Who am I to say?" PROVINCIAL REPERTORY Leeds is the first provincial town in Great Britain to have an art film theatre. The Academy, formerly the Savoy, has been opened this month by Erik Hakim and Ralph Bromhead, who plan to make this the first of a chain of provincial repertory cinemas to be run on lines similar to the London Academy, which has had such a remarkable success under the direction of Miss Elsie Cohen. Continuous performances are given daily from 1.30 to 10.30, and the prices of admission range from is. to 2s. 6d. The first film to be presented was Der Traumende Mund, with Elisabeth Bergner. This will be followed by Rene Clair's 14th July. E. G. Pettet, the manager, states that attendances during the first weeks have been sufficiently good to encourage hopes that the venture will be adequately supported. 15
