between now and May 1. Among these is “You Only Live Once,” which opens at the Circle Friday. Art Baker, Circle manager, said tocday that he has contracted to show several forthcoming major features during the next few weeks. Film Grimly Realistic “You Only Live Once” is, according to advance reports, a grimly realistic drama. Sylvia Sidney, who suffererd through such tragic things as Street Scene,” “Mary Burns, Fugitive” and “Fury,” is costarred in this picture with Henry Fonda. The director was Fritz Lang, monocle-wearing Viennese, and those who know some of Mr. Lang's previous efforts have an idea of what they may expect in his latest. As a convalescent officer in the Austrian Army, Mr. Lang whiled away the time writing short stories and scenarios while his war wounds were healing. After the armistice he went Yo work as a scenarist for Erich Plommer, prominent European producer, who later promoted him to director. “Metropolis” brought his first international gained further glory ture “M,” came to America and scored another hit with “Fury.” A stickler for realism. the director visited a half dozen prisons before beginning work on “You Only Live Once.” The picture tells the story of a young man who, though innocent, has done a “stretch,” and is condemned to die.

LONDON, Feb. 3.—The British film industry, through the Board of Trade, intends to seek a better market for its motion pictures in the United States, it was revealed in Commons today. Dr. Edward Leslie Burgin, Parliamentary secretary of the board, replying to Gordon Hall-Caine, Conservative, said: “We will bear in mind the honorable member's suggestion that in view of the large revenues received by United States film producers exhibiting in this
