MOVIE COMBINE IN ENGLAND TO FIGHT AMERICA Project To Include Establishment Os Chain Os Movie Theatres By J. C. Oestreicher, INS Staff Correspondent London. —A gigantic theatrical anti motion picture enterprise, expressly designed "to forestall attempts by the American movie magnates to control the amusement houses of Eng land," will be launched here early this year. The project will include tho establishment of a chain of motion picturevariety theatres extending from one end of the country to the other and the construction of many new homes, one of which will rival the Paramount theatre in New York in size and elaborateness of design. The enterprise is backed by Sir Walter Gibbons, for many years a prominent theatrical producer, and E. A. Szarvasy, a wealthy financier. Approximately 125,000,000 has been spent thus far by the. new combine, and a similar amount will be expended before the project is completed. Many Deals Closed Sixty theatres, music halls and mo- ■ tion picture houses have already been purchased, and this number will soon be increased to 100. A new. theatre, seating 5,000 people, is to be built in the fashionable West End, and other sites are now being sought. The theatres which have been purchased will be remodeled, and a type of amusement already in vogue throughout the United States will be offered to the public instead of the music hall entertainment so prevalent here a few years ago. The plans call for the new chain of shottses to show motion pictures, a few acts by variety artists, symphonic, orchestras, "talking movies,” color photography, and "perfect mechanical reproduction of music.” The admission price will be a uniform of approximately forty cent for orchestra seats. Threatened Monopoly “A few months ago. with a long knowledge of theatre business behind me.” Sir Walter said in describing Racking « Coughs \ Are ir; 'A Danger Signals Coughs arc always dangerous and the longer they hang on, the more dangerous they become.

I realized that unless something was done, so hopeless was the confusion to which the English theatre was drifting, that the world of entertainment in England would become entirely monopolized by the American i dollar. "I decided, with the financial back- j ing of Mr. Szarvasy, to reconstruct the policy of entertainment of all the theatres that could be bought, and which were suitable for a comprehensive scheme. "Within a few weeks, 1 had bought l sixty theatres, music halls and cinemas, ranging from Scotland to j Paris. Soon I shall control 100 the ‘ : at res.

That toxin antitoxin prevents dlptherla has been overwhelmingly demonstrated by the experlonces of scores of American communities and by hundreds of thousands of individuals who have received this protection. While the use of this preventative is a recent procedure in medical practice, its development and use are founded upon seietific facts and experience.
