Ksbrib -Organizing-in America for the dis- tribution on this side of forelgii- made pictures; Edwin M. Fadmaii,. for 14 years managing, director ot Films Red Star of I^ris and Brus-^. .scis, has formed Natiiinal Picture.'j Carp. and. in future will divide hii time between America and the Coii- tinent. National will di.stribute prod- uct both in the U, S". and L.-iliii America, Fadniari, who arrived on this si three weeks ago, will probably si>eii from' four to six months during the year on the Continent, the balance oin this side.. In organizing here, at the.same time reitaihing his European interest, Fadman's set-up is unique, in that it effects a direct tie-up be> tween a Continental and. an Amei'i' can. company for an .interchange ot product,;notonly for. distribution but for remakes aiid the. placement of stories, etc. Initial release by the new National company in the; U. S. will be 'Legions of Honor,' French made. Three! other releases are presently being tilled iit English, and will be ready for distri- bution by the end of August. Kehi Says (Continued from page 3) in connection with the action filed makes clear its desire to encourage a .constructive spluti6h of the in-' dustry's.prpblems. In this regard the' Department said: 'The Departmeiit desires tp chcpurage and liot to re- ' lard ' the development and orderly p'peration of the motioix picture in- . dustry.' And Will Hays In his c6m- meiit oh the Suit brought by the . Government said: 'A committee lA leading producers and distributors is. now engaged in considering re- adjustments in ' the- intricate ma- chinery of this business, to the end that it may even better serve public interest.' 'Since the committee, was formed, numerous confer'anccs - have tieen held. The problems to be consid- ered, are important and the 'solu- ; tions intricate. Cleiair thinking and delit>erate cbn.slderation must pre- cede action. 'Action tarken will be in co-opera- tion with all exhibitor-groups 'and the conimittee intends to. get- in tpuch with the cfxhibitors when th;; useful moment arrives; From then on it will bie a matter of woi-kiii^ out these-pi'obiems jointly. 'I might add that we share the general, industry belief that the most intelligent and satisfactory .so- lutibn 'of our problems eventually will be reached through sclf-rc'^uia- tion, ratlier than througli Iit|g»ti6n. We shall continue the work of our committee to that end.' Dunlap, Carr West Scott E; Dun lap. Mimp-'rarn pro- Tkpmat Rolls 'Traffic' .
