We have heard that idea discussed over here. But it's a joke. Because if the star has box-office puUing power, that's the end of the story. Incidentally the German exhibitors don't like the "invasion" of American films. Their popularity, it seems, "has almost crowded German films out of their own country." Getting hack to basics. If the people of any country decide to select their entertainment. They don't care where a picture is made. Or who made it. They like the good ones. They won't go to see bad ones. If the native product is good. The foreign product suffers. If the foreign product is better than the native product. Well they just woii't pay to see the native stuff. Patriotism doesn't enter into the questioyi of entertainment. Never has. Never will. Geo ,tge Cot? lOt* «o» 220 West 42nd St. New York, Chick. 4052 Foreign Cables — Geokann, N. Y.
