FILM SOCIETIES
MORE NEW VENTURES
After holding a preliminary meeting in May last, the Croydon Film Society organised a further public meeting at the Croydon Picture House on 5th November, Anthony Asquith addressing the meeting. The result of these two meetings was very encouraging, and it was decided to proceed with arrangements for the first season. An application for permission to hold meetings on Sunday afternoons was accordingly made to the Croydon Council and, after a lengthy discussion, permission was refused. A subsequent application was successful, and a licence has now been granted, subject, however, to the following extraordinary terms: — (a) "]\ per cent, of the Society's income to be devoted to charity; (b) all films to be submitted to a sub-committee of the Croydon Council; and [c] not more than two guest tickets to be allotted to any one member. The Hon. Secretary is G. R. Bailey, 51 High Street, Croydon.
After all arrangements had been made to hold the performances of the third season of the Leeds Film Group on Sunday evenings at the Academy Cinema, the Magistrates reconsidered their decision and withdrew their licence. Formerly, performances of silent films had been given on week nights in a small private theatre.
Meanwhile an attempt is being made to form a society in Huddersfield, and if the sanction of the Watch Committee can be obtained, fortnightly performances will be given on Sunday evenings. Three hundred members are required to make possible a subscription of 10s. 6d. for six or eight shows.
Aberdeen Film Guild intends to start a series of Sunday performances when negotiations for a suitable cinema are completed. The Hon. Secretary is J. M. Mitchell, Press and Journal Office, Aberdeen.
