QUIGLEY BOOKSHOP, 1370 Sixth Avenue, New York 20. by JOAO DE MORAES PALMEIRO in Lisbon Hollywood product is beginning to face its first post-war competition in Portugal from English and French productions. Sonoro Films, Lisbon representatives of Eagle Lion, promoted a two-week campaign recently for three British pictures, including "Fanny by Gaslight," "Mr. Emmanuel" and "Madonna of the Seven Veils." Filmes Albuquerque publicized at the same time "This Happy Breed." Now it is announced that French films again are on the market. V Final details have been set for filming the Portuguese-Spanish picture, "The Holy Queen." Madeleine Carroll heads the cast of both Spanish and Portuguese actors. Three versions of the film will be made, Spanish, Portuguese and English, and it is rumored here that Paramount will handle the distribution of the English version in the United States. All interiors will be shot in Madrid and all exteriors in Portugal. Rafael Gil and Cesario Gonzalez will direct the Spanish version, and Anibal Contreiras the Portuguese version. V Promotion is already under way for the showing of RKO's "The Bells of St. Mary's." Gallego y Pratt, manager of RKO Lisbon, intends to hold a preview of the picture for the President of the Portuguese Republic and the Cardinal of Lisbon. RKO's "The Spanish Main" currently is showing in Lisbon and Oporto, as is Paramount's "The Sign of the Cross." Ohio WCTU Calls for Closer Censorship The Ohio Womeri's Christian Temperance Union in its final convention session at Columbus adopted a program recommending closer censorship of films to eliminate the "promotion of drinking and the depiction of a low standard of morals." The resolution, presented by Mary B. Ervin, president, also suggested that the WCTU call upon Congress and the Federal Communications Commission to ban advertising of alcoholic beverages over the radio. Denver Theatre Broadcast John Wolfberg, manager of the Broadway theatre in Denver, will augments his late Thursday night show with the addition of a 30-minute broadcast of a barn dance program from the stage over station KMYR, Denver. Until another sponsor is found the theatre will bear the expense. Banks Managing Theatre Marvin Banks, son of Sol Banks, is managing the Pastime theatre in Marionville, Mo., purchased recently by his father from O. F. Bollinger. Mr. Banks recently was released from the armed forces. 62 MOTION PICTURE HERALD, MAY 4, 1946
