THE FOREIGN OUTLOOK (Continued from page 405) From a sale standpoint England naturally is our greatest market, and while conditions were for a while very poor, the past four months has seen a great many sales made in London, and an unexpected influx of British buyers in the United States. There is as great a demand in England as ever for high grade American pictures, and this despite the fact that German pictures may now be shown there. The call for one and two reel comedies and other short subjects is so great that the American producers are finding it very hard to meet this demand. In Scandinavia American pictures have first call, and we have no difficulty in disposing of our pictures there. They must be of best quality, however, as the Scandinavian market has no place for the mediocre pictures. As in Enggland, short reel subjects of American manufacture are in great demand. In France, Belgium, Sv^itzerland and Holland there has been a very noticeable increase in buying, and I feel that the demand for good American pictures will be much greater within the next few months. In Central Europe sales have been slow as a whole, although one or two companies have managed to dispose of considerable product. Germany and Austria Hungary are particularly slow only on account of the prevailing rate of exchange, but indications are that we will soon be placing American product there. Czecho Slovakia is a very good market for American pictures, and the Balkans are beginning to buy. Italy has been more or less a closed territory for the past few years, but they are now buying American pictures in large numbers. South America has been one of the best markets for American pictures, and the demand there is increasing steadily, so much so that American producers and distributors find it bard to produce enough film to supply them. In Central America, Mexico is now buying steadily, and Cuba after a dormant period is again in the market and a number of sales have been reported recently. Japan also is a good market for American pictures, and they are using the entire American output. India, Burma and Ceylon are more interested in serial and action pictures, but there is a fairly good market there for high grade American pictures. Most sales, however, are made through London, where credit is extended through various banking affiliations. The Philippines cannot assimilate all American productions, and only three distributors are represented there, among which are the Arrow Film Corporation, who have placed their entire product in this market. China is also a little slow on features, the demand there being for serials and action pictures rather than highclass dramas. All in all, however, the present and future outlook for the American pictures in the foreign market is a most optimistic one, and I for one feel sure that we need have no fear of foreign competition. English Gross Estimated £30,000,000 London — Sir Oswald Stoll estimates the total revenue derived from the film industry in Great Britain yearly is £30,000,000. THE GOLF TOURNAMENTS (Continued from page 397) On Dec. 18 at Hollywood after several disappointing starts about 50 film folk gathered and after playing formed the Motion Picture Golf Association of which Nat Deverich was elected president and J.
