Wilson K. Midgley writes in the Daily News as follows: Vain efforts have been made in the past to introduce the 'pictures' into the spheres of religion, education, and of various kinds of reform. Peace has brought them at a stroke into international politics. There are two companies set out each to raise a million pounds of British capital for building new cinema halls. One of these companies already owns picture houses in all the large provincial towns; the other, headed by Major David Davies, M. P., land, coal, and newspaper owner and millionaire, intends to introduce American methods here to build picture palaces to hold from three to four thousand people. The most confident cinema enthusiasts see risks to be guarded against in such big undertakings, and in order to be sure of getting films of the best class for these new picture houses Major Davies's new company has made a private arrangement with an American producer. What they fear in this invasion is that the screen may even be used as a medium of American propaganda.
