Yates Kennebeck Sees Quota Spreading in Antipodes If the quota law enacted by New South Wales works out successfully, other states in Australia may consider adoption of similar restrictions, said John Kennebeck, managing director in Australia for Paramount, who is now in New York. During the past eight months, approximately 50 houses have been reconstructed and newly built in Australia by independents, who are taking advantage of the fact that the theater situation is now open, Kennebeck stated. Houses in Australia now aggregate 1,100, serving a population of 6,500,000, he said. Fully 95 per cent of all pictures exhibited in Australia are played on double bills, Kennebeck estimated. Owing to an improvement in economic conditions in the country, motion picture grosses are considerably improved, he said. Chicago Chat Chicago — Among those who will attend the Paramount convention in New York are Allen Usher, Chicago branch manager, Harry Hamburg, recently elected a member of the Paramount 100 per cent Club; Eddie Fontain and Barney Barnard. Theaters which have added Screeno during the past week include the Central Park, 20th Century, Gold, Ardmore and Banner. Signs Paramount Orders Under two orders signed yesterday by Federal Judge Coxe, the $6,375 salary claim against Paramount of A. John Michel, former Paramount auditor, is allowed for $3,548 in the reorganization proceedings, a claim of the Continental Illinois National Bank of Chicago for $145,961 is expunged and a second claim of the bank for $312 is allowed. The order on the Continental claims states that the ruling is without prejudice to the claim of the bank against Paramount based on notes aggregating $1,443,244 issued by Film Production Corp. and guaranteed by Paramount.
