IN view of the campaign started by a section of the Press for the exclusion from this country of foreign films. the above photograph is of interest. It shows a sixteen-storied building which has just been erected in New York City entirely for the film trade, and contains dozens of executive offices, exchange and projection i "ins. Fond as I am of British films, there arc not enough of them to make me wish for nothing else. Since our last issue went to press, however, 1 am told that even it' foreign films are prohibited our cinemas, although handicapped, could still carry on with the films, both British and foreign, which are already here'. 1 understand the atock is a large one'. A Visit to Cricks and Martin. George Cricks told me the other day that if and when necessity arises he will be prepared to open another studio and turn Out treble his present output of films. I found the studio, famous for bo many trick and other types of HI ; s,up to its eyes in work. Toby Codpei was busy on a trick comedy which will show us the adventures of three men in a haunted bedroom, and from what 1 Ba« of the way iu which candles lit themselves, people walked through walls. and beautiful damsels appeared from nowhere, it will make' "some7' picture. 1 hope to refer to it again when I have seen it on the screen at Davison's, the agency for many British brands, Watch ior -run 1 1 \ ifi.

The firsl two artistes arc BO full of ''pictures'' that they begin to talk about them on making t heir t'r^t i ntrance in the Tillage scene. Says Will Evans, "There's money in pictures, and I'm going to produce '/.'. Birth of a Nation. 1 wanf 200,000 men. How many can you find ? :' " Oh, 8 half a dozen or seven," replies Lnpino Lane.
