A number of new film houses have been built since the close of the war. Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Jere Bilbao and San Sebastine, all have many beautiful theaters and are considered important picture centers. The Italian, French and Danish films are accorded a hearty reception by Spaniards. Among the American films shown are Paramount, World, Vitagraph and Fox. The Chaplin pictures are also shown. Ruiz Margarit, a Spanish writer, mentions Mary Pickford, Marguerite Clark, Fanny Ward, Clara Kim¬ ball Young, Bessie Barriscale, Mabel Normand, Geral¬ dine Farrar, Douglas Fairbanks, Wallace Reid, Eddie Polo, as being popular in Spain. The fact that the different film companies do not work together in Spain as they should is responsible for a loss in money frequently. If there were more unity in their operations all would benefit. There is an absolute absence of commercial unity. Where one firm owns more than one hall in Spain and is booking for four or five they are only charged the price of one. Censorship considered as a whole in Spain is very tolerant. Because of the fact that there has been a large amount of money lost in Spain there are few producing companies there.

Trade in Italy Italian films, after having established great prestige in this country with such notable productions as ‘‘The Last Days of Pompei,” “Quo Vadis,” “Julius Caesar,” “Anthony and Cleopatra” and the “Siege of Carthage” and many other big productions, have declined since the beginning of the war due to the fact that the Italian studios have been taken over for war purposes and Red Cross activities. Now that peace has been declared the Italians are once more entering the film producing field with even greater enthusiasm. Several firms have signified their intention of filming great British and American books and the result should prove interesting. There is considerable exchange today between the Italian firms and the British manufacturers. Universal will ex¬ change with Italian producers for distribution in this country.
