"MEATY" FILMS.
MANCHESTER PARTIAL. HOW TASTES DIFFER. LONDON, January 20. "Newcastle likes films about bathing beauties and night club life. Manchester insists on plently of 'meat.' Sheffield and Bradford also like 'meat,' with a slight taste in the direction of convents. Birmingham and Cardiff are extremely fond of films with which music could naturally be blended." said a producer at a meeting of British film indenting interests. He pointed out the absurdity of expecting a central board to produce films which would be popular in all parts of Britain. The meeting decided to postpone consideration of the quota system until it was determined whether the abolition of block booking and the establishment of a central studio at Brighton were successful.
