BRITISH FILMS.
OBJECTION TO QUOTA PROPOSAL Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, July 4. The Government proposal to enforce the screening of a substantial quota of British films was opposed by speakers at the annual meetings of Fullers’ and Hayward’s Pictures. Mr P. A. Hermon described the bill as an attempt at further State interference in private enterprise. Mr John Fuller remarked that the bill might well have a crippling effect. Mr Henry Hayward said that the matter was causing exhibitors grave concern. Renters on the other hand would be provided with a ready made market and be inclined to purchase cheaper British productions to make un the quota, while exhibitors would have to screen them at the best showing periods whether the picture were good, bad or indifferent. Both Fullers’ and Hayward’s companies declared 9 per cent, dividends.
