Mrs. Dawson Joins MPAA Mrs. Marjorie Granger Dawson this week joined the Motion Picture Association of America in New York as associate of Arthur DeBra, director of the department of community relations. She succeeds Mrs. Jeanette Emrich, who died May 18. by LUIS BECERRA CELIS m Mexico City Alarm that producers experienced earlier this year over the possibility that private banks no longer would help finance the industry has flared up afresh as the banks again are cool to the idea of lending money to producers. The producers are said to be in debt to their banks in an amount between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. So tight has become the private banks' financing that, it is reliably learned, companies that had planned to make as many as 24 pictures this year are only making four or five. V Mexico, for the first time, soon will have theatres devoted exclusively to the newsreels. Reports are current here that the Translux Corporation is arranging to open two newsreel theatres in this country, possibly in Mexico City, and will operate them as they do in the U. S. While there already are three theatres here which show both new.sreels and shorts, the reported Translux theatres would be the first all-newsreel theatres. V Two first run theatres, the Cines Metropolitan and the Palacio Chino, have been heavily fined for charging an admission fee of $1, a new high here. The theatres were fined $200 for each day that the $1 admission was charged. The municipal government said that the highest admission charge it would allow is 80 cents except when unusually good pictures are shown. The Government again has warned exhibitors they face heavy fines if they persist in ignoring a recently enacted law forbidding them to continue to admit customers after all seats have been filled.
