WILL FIGHT AMERICA’S MONOPOLY IN DOMINION.
An agreement was signed in London on November 11 to pool the selling resources of two of the leading British film-producing companies, British International Pictures, Ltd., of which Mr John Maxwell is chairman, and British Instructional Films, Ltd., of which Mr A. E. Bundy is chairman. British International Pictures is the principal company at Elstree, and was the first company to make talk-films in England. It has a capital of £1,000,000, and through Associated British Cinemas, controls some 120 theatres. The British Instructional Company’s studios are at Welwyn. The immediate aim of the agreement is to mobilise the forces of English films in an attack on the American monopoly in the dominions, and it is intended to carry the battle into the cinemas of the United States.
