Keen on Their Work
'THORNTON FREELAND, famous Hollywood director, who made “Brewster’s Millions” for British and Dominions Films, confesses that he is amazed at the enthusiastic co-opera-tion he had received since his arrival in England, “I have not seen so much interest and co-operation shown in the making of a film for years,” he said recently. “The English people are tremendously keen on the work and, what is more, they are open to new ideas. They tell you to go ahead if you think the idea worth t.rvinsr. even if it means taking a chance. That gives you the opportunity to experiment—a very necessary thing when you are directing a film with spectacular dance sequences. “British Films,” ‘ continued Mr. Freeland, “score in the use of backgrounds. Great Britain, iirmy opinion, has some of the best backgrounds in the world.”'
