• • • AS THIS dizzy year of 1930 wobbles t.o a close, what
outstanding achievements can be chalked up for the film biz?
we will select one that may astonish you it is American
development of the world-wide foreign field of course
you will snicker and haw-haw at that one when you
survey the foreign biz all shot to pieces by the talkie upset thi;
past year but we're referring to development of the
Newsreel Fox Movietone News, to be more explicit
what Clayton P. Sheehan, foreign manager of Fox, and Truman H. Talley, general manager of the Newsreel, have done this past twelve months constitutes one of the MAJOR trade accomplishments of the year it reads like a page from a modern
Arabian Nights right now this organization is turning
out 37 foreign editions every week Talley has established
four major foreign Movietone organizations plans are
in the works for News Reel Theaters in the important cities of
the world one year ago the British Movietone News was
started in London four months later Fox Actualites
Parlantes was established in Paris then came Fox Tonende
Wochenschau in Berlin and in far off Sydney, Australia,
the Australian Movietone was started for each of these
organizations it was necessary to establish independent sound
camera units, editorial offices, and manufacturing plants
every one of the 37 editions is edited especially with a view to
local prejudices and interests practically every important
foreign country gets its Fox newsreel made just for its particular
VIEWPOINT mull that one over, if you think this was a
kindergarten stunt that Messrs. Sheehan and Talley put over
in ONE little year it's a job for diplomats
editing newsreels so as not to offend nationalistic spirit
and so well has the stupendous task been handled, that the various nationals consider their particular newsreel a NATIVE
INSTITUTION one American producing concern has
solved the foreign problem so far as the newsreel is concerned
and for 1931 what producer is going to do the same
thing for the feature talkies? it CAN be done
MOVIETONE NEWS
Achieving world wide success twice every week!
