8.8. C. Needs Films PRODUCERS UP IN ARMS The threat by the 8.8. C. to produce its own films isn’t worrying Hollywood. The reasons are many, writes a radio authority in “The Daily Mirror,’’ London. In ten weeks’ time the 8.8. C. may start broadcasting television. Only may. A thousand things may interfere, he says. When television starts the 8.8. C. will need films because the apparatus isn’t good enough to broadcast live television yet. Film renters are up in arms, and a ban is being put on the 8.8. C. Who cares, anyway? I can tell you why it is a lot of boloney, if anyone will answer these questions. Perhaps the 8.8. C. can. Who has a set to pick up the t® l6 ’ vision pictures? Who can afford two sets—one for sight and one for sound? Who wants to “look in’’ to old films on a two-by-four screen when there is a perfectly good cinema round the corner! And who at the 8.8. C. thinks he can make his own films when certain large organisations in this country still haven’t discovered Hollywood’s secret?
