Branches: — CALGARY — WINNIPEG — TORONTO MONTREAL — SAINT JOHN 15 16 Appreciations; THE AFFECTION enjoyed by Louis Rosenfeld, president of Columbia Pic¬ tures of Canada Limited, from his colleagues of the Canadian motion picture industry became loud and obvious when the time came for him to receive the third Pioneer of the Year Award at the annual dinner of the Canadian Picture Pioneers in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, on No¬ vember 1, 1955. The guest of honor was presented with the onyx-and-gold symbol of the award by Haskell Masters. Rosen¬ feld thanked the Pioneers and his friends for the honor. Following the main ceremony Leo Jaffe, who had come from New York both as the representative of the Motion Picture Pio¬ neers of the USA and of Columbia Pic¬ tures, presented Rosenfeld with a silver plate from his American colleagues and friends. Two other presentations, these in behalf of the Canadian Film Awards, preceded the one to Rosenfeld. L. W. Brockington, CMG, QC, presented a framed certificate to Dr. A. W. Trueman, National Film Commissioner, for The Stratford Adven¬ ture as The Film of the Year. Before that Walter Herbert, chairman of the Canadian Film Awards, handed Hye Bossin, editor of the Canadian Film Weekly, the CFA’s Special Award for his research into the history of the industry and his promotion of a film archive for this country. Brockington, who heads the J. Arthur Rank Organization of Canada, made some wittily humorous comment about some of those present, then spoke seriously in praising both the guest of honor and Bos¬ sin. He was, as always, interesting and enjoyable. Dr. Trueman, in replying, em¬ phasized that The Stratford Adventure had been directed by Morten Parker and writ¬ ten by Gudrun Parker and he also named the others who had worked on it. Herbert, who came from Ottawa to make the presentation to Bossin, spoke of the Canadian Film Weekly editor’s deep Cana- dianism, saying that among many non¬ industry people he was regarded as one of the industry’s leading figures. Bossin, he said, loved the motion picture industry and was proud of it. The latter, in thank¬ ing Herbert, emphasized the value to Can¬ ada of the industry’s history and made a plea for the establishment of a film ar¬ chive. N. A. Taylor, president of the Canadian Picture Pioneers, acting as toastmaster, in¬ troduced Mayor Nathan Phillips, who wel¬ comed the out-of-town guests to the city. They were followed by John J. Fitzgib- bons, CBE, who recalled the part the late Ray Lewis, editor of the Canadian Moving Picture Digest, played in organizing the Canadian Picture Pioneers. The last speaker of the evening was George Oullahan, chairman of the ar¬ rangements committee for the dinner, who praised the work of co-chairmen Harry Lester and George Altman and thanked all who helped. A souvenir program, de¬ signed by Altman, was on each table, and a large blowup of Rosenfeld flanked by snipes dealing with his business back¬ ground, stood behind the head table. The latter was made by A1 Harvey and Pete Grant of Pictorial Display. Among those at the head table were Hugh Sedgwick, IA vice-president in Can¬ ada; James Cowan, president of the Cana¬ dian Film Institute; Fred Peters, president of the Quebec branch of the Pioneers- Mayor A. W. Shackleford of Lethbridge; Charles Chaplin, president of the Cana¬ dian Motion Picture Distributors Associa¬ tion; A. J. Mason, president of the Mari¬ time Motion Picture Exhibitors Associa¬ tion; Pierre Harwood of Montreal, presi¬ dent of the Association of Motion Picture Producers and Laboratories of Canada; David Griesdorf, president of the Motion Picture Industry Council of Canada; Owen Bird, president of the British Columbia Motion Picture Exhibitors Association- Harry Mandell, Chief Barker of the Va- riety Club of Toronto; Robert Hurwitz, representative of the Manitoba Pioneers;’ and Lionel Lester, president of the Mo¬ tion Picture Theatres Association of On¬ tario. About 450 persons crowded into the Con¬ cert Hall of the Royal York for the dinner, which was covered by newsreels, TV and the daily and trade papers. 17 A GREAT TRADITION of Motion Picture Entertainment Sinte 1906 The Allens and Louis Rosenfeld THEATRE HOLDING CORPORATION LIMITED IDENTIFICATION OF PHOTOGRAPHS ON NEXT PAGE For easier identification the photographs, on the next page, will be treated as three down¬ ward panels and the persons named from left to right.

And the fastest-growing cola drink on the market is Pepsi-Cola because Pepsi has kept pace with today’s trend towards lighter, less-filling foods and beverages. Pepsi-Cola sales are now at an all-time high, both at home and abroad. Pepsi is the modern drink . . . never heavy, never too sweet or too strong. It is the light refreshment that refreshes without filling. Take advantage of Pepsi’s popularity. Install a smart, stream¬ lined Multiplex Dispenser and make more profit with Pepsi!

TAYLOR CHANGING trends in our business, started in previous years, continue. More theatres are closing and some are trying new policies. Some shuttered thea¬ tres are being re-opened by ambitious people who think they can inject more of what it takes to be successful than their predecessors. These new exhibitors can only suc¬ ceed if circumstances are extremely propiti¬ ous. It becomes increasing¬ ly evident that we must operate our business with a new set of rules and a new type of thinking. Before the TV era, we had a general rule of thumb that towns or areas could profitably support one theatre seat for every ten people. Proof of the value of this rule was evidenced by the fact that generally a town of 4,000 could support about 400 seats and a town of 30,000 about 3,000 seats. Movies ceased to be the entertainment “time waster” when TV arrived and replaced it in that category. Fewer people now go to the movies regu¬ larly or by habit, and most who do attend less frequently. In addition, all kinds of new diversions have taken hold and at¬ tracted millions of people, thereby appro¬ priating their spare time. Countless thousands of automobiles and other types of hard goods, such as radios, washing- machines, TV sets, etc., have been sold on very liberal time payment plans. In consideration of these facts, one must now assume that a new rule of thumb must be resolved and this appears to be: one seat for every 20 to 25 people. If this is logical, it means that in a town of 30,000 popula¬ tion one or more theatres must now be closed or go out of business, and a town of 3,000 can only support about 150 seats or less. This may very well prove economically unsound and cause business failure. Notwithstanding these changed condi¬ tions, most of the theatres which have passed out of the picture have been old and antiquated. Very few of the new and modern ones have failed to live with the new set of conditions under which we now operate. Those which have are largely ones that have been badly located and were, therefore, ill-fated from their con¬ ception. This will apply particularly in large cities where such theatres might be relegated to a sub-sub-run. Drive-in thea¬ tre building has been at such a rate as to make many situations “over seated” in this category. Where this condition has arisen, there has been premium and price cutting competition to the point of ruina¬ tion for some. This is partly caused by the fact that most drive-in building has been activated by promoters with no true con¬ ception of the economic possibilities of such ventures. * * * In the last year there has been an in¬ crease in the number of TV stations to the point that about 85 per cent of the population is now within receiving range. However, Canada is yet to feel any impact from color broadcasting or multiple sta¬ tions in any city. This is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future and only set owners within range of American cities can presently receive more than one station. In Quebec, however, there are some towns with both French- and Eng¬ lish language stations. There is some talk of the introduction of toll TV in the near future and also of community antennae or other forms of inexpensive local TV broad¬ casting. The growth of this will depend to a great extent on the financial success of the original ventures. * ❖ * It seems safe to assume that theatres which are properly located, suitably in¬ viting and comfortable, and with sufficient attendance potential, will continue to pros¬ per in Canada. In the United States the problem of many theatres has been the shortage of product. This has not been so acute in Canada because of a different attitude on the part of the public and consequently the exhibitor. In Quebec many theatres use films from France as a regular part of their programming diet. In the rest of the country, British films enjoy a great deal of playing time. While not as readily accepted as American films, 21 / '\S;T ''' / M The motion picture i industry can count on Columbia Pictures for an uninterrupted flow of quality productions 0- M ; \ that may be exhibited with pride confidence ; tv-Hii! / ? ’■ •• 'i/ » * ' / * \\ by the theatre men m-mliW I y. ‘ y ; , j; . \ of America. there is certainly a much better response at the boxoffice generally than in the United States. Occasionally a British movie will click and outgross most Ameri¬ can ones. It is not to be taken that all theatres regularly book British films. However, for many theatres there is a good booking possibility of several films per month. Amusement and other taxes continue to be a heavy burden on our business. Exhibitor associations throughout the country are striving constantly to reduce or eliminate these charges but there are many difficulties to be overcome. Nothing so fortunate as the removal of the amuse¬ ment tax up to admissions of 90c, as in the United States, has happened or is likely to happen soon. Some cities, in addition to provincial tax, have municipal amuse¬ ment and seat taxes. On the brighter side there are many places in the world where taxes are considerably higher. Jj! * # Bingos as opposition have plagued our business throughout the country for many years and in some areas have reached monstrous proportions. Prizes have to¬ talled thousands of dollars in addition to automobiles and other valuable articles. It is questionable if charity gains to the ex¬ tent it should by lending its name to cloak these games with legality. This competi¬ tion has always been unfair and theatres are stopped from using similar means to' entice patrons. However, there is now some talk that the Criminal Code will be amended and tightened up to definitely limit the number of big bingos and the value of prizes which can be dispensed. This should be a welcome relief. s>: * * In the struggle for survival, theatres in the last decade found candy bars and the dispensing of soft drinks a great and im¬ portant source of revenue. Some theatres with suitable facilities have added hot dogs and hot drinks and found them profit¬ able. In a further search for additional revenue, some have embraced screen advertising and this trend seems to be growing. A majority of theatres are now satisfactorily equipped with wide screen and CinemaScope. However, only a minor¬ ity, composed mostly of large theatres in bigger cities, have embraced stereophonic sound. There is some bitterness because this type of print is not always available. Distributors have found it uneconomical to bring in sufficient stereophonic prints and are reverting more and more to optical sound. It would appear that full conver¬ sion to stereophonic sound must be a gradual one and can only be accomplished at great expense to the distributor by continuing to bring in more prints than actually necessary in order to adequately service both types of sound or the alterna¬ tive of a practical dual sound print. Exhibitors continue to search for some extra lure or gimmick which will draw people away from TV sets and other time- consuming diversions. Some have received great help from such diversions and others have failed to benefit but the search continues. * * While in the last year there has been some activity in drive-in theatre building, few hard top theatres were erected. It is unlikely that these conditions will change in the next year. There is not yet a sufficiently clear picture to indicate what kind of theatres are practical for the future and at the moment mortgage money is extremely hard to obtain. * * * Distribution is faced with a set of prob¬ lems of its own. Reduced attendances and grosses in theatres have, in turn, meant reduced rentals and receipts for distribu¬ tors. Yet, constantly rising salary demands and other costs continue to grow. It is becoming increasingly evident that it is uneconomic to operate six branches, fully staffed from selling office to shipping room, in a country where the potential yield is only that of one good branch office in the United States. The cost of routing salesmen over vast stretches of territory for very small yields, now shrinking, forecasts two possibilities. It is foreseeable that there will be a reduction in the number of branches by eliminating the low gross and the uneconomic ones. It is likely that there will be a reduction of some or all road salesmen. Small town exhibitors would thereby be faced with the alternative of buying and booking by mail, visiting exchange centres periodically, or employing the service of one of the book¬ ing agencies which have sprung up all over the country. Feature film production is not yet an important factor in Canada, yet there are growing signs that knowledgeable people are becoming aware of its economic possi¬ bilities. One no longer assumes that the only place good films can be made on 23 FAMOUS PLAYERS CANADIAN CORPORATION LIMITED HEAD OFFICE, ROYAL BANK BUILDING TORONTO, ONTARIO FAMOUS PLAYERS THEATRES Leaders in Entertainment Since 1920 JOHN J. FITZGIBBONS, C.B.E. • R. W. BOLSTAD President Vice-President 24 this continent is Hollywood. Indeed, shooting is taking place all over and New York is starting to assert its importance. The advent of TV and its employment of so much acting talent is building a fine reservoir. While there is no motion picture value in a boxoffice sense, these people are becoming accustomed to emoting be¬ fore cameras and this is important to a producer studying Canada as a field of operation. There is as yet a shortage of good studio space but this may come sooner than most people suspect. TV pro¬ duction is just gaining a foothold and it may well be the forerunner of theatrical film production. It will be exciting to watch this development. Further change in the conduct of our business in Canada will be influenced to some extent by the trends in other coun¬ tries, particularly in the United States. In the meantime, the continued elimination of over-seating and unnecessary seating will strengthen the industry and prepare it to face whatever changes are necessary in this new electronic era. This coming year may be a better one for all con¬ cerned if the trend towards streamlined distribution and healthier exhibition is able to assert itself. F. G.

Those playing motion pictures in both English and French stayed the same at 170, which was 47 more than in 1953. Thea¬ tres using English-language films exclu¬ sively increased from 88 in 1954 to 92 in 1955 and this was 102 less than in 1953. Several importing companies offer exhib¬ itors films produced in France and other exchanges provide dubbed versions of Hol¬ lywood films. Of the 21 feature films pro¬ duced in Canada since 1945, 13 were in French and these obtained almost 100 per cent of their Canadian grosses from exhi¬ bition in the Province of Quebec. ATTENDANCE: An Unesco survey pub¬ lished early in 1956 says that the average Canadian attends movies 17.5 times a year, placing him third among the countries. While this is an increase of only .5 times a year since the 1952 Unesco survey, Can¬ ada’s position among the countries went up four notches from seventh, reflecting the dropping movie attendance in the former leading countries of the world. Great Britain, first in 1956 with 25, could only place third in 1952, when it had an average attendance of 29. New Zealand moved into second spot in 1956 with 18.1, although that was only an increase of .1 over 1952, when it was sixth. The United States, with attendance dropping from 22 to 16.4, nevertheless moved up from fifth to fourth. Following the USA were Italy (16), Ireland (15.5), Australia (15.3), Hong Kong (15.1), Malta and Gozo (15), Saar (14.2) and Israel (13.6). In 1952 Israel led all countries with 38. MOVIE HABITS (CANADA): In a survey conducted by the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (Gallup Poll) in July, 1955, it was found that 14 per cent of the Cana¬ dian public do not attend movies, showing very little variation from the 17 per cent of non-moviegoers in a survey in April, 1948. Of 1955’s 14 per cent who don’t go to the movies only five per cent came from 20-year-olds, this figure rising sharply to 27 per cent for those past 50 years of age. In selecting a movie to see, the poll show¬ ed, 44 per cent made their choice by what was in the film, 20 per cent by who was in it, and 22 per cent by both equally. Musicals were the favorites of 35 per cent and then came Adventure, Comedy, Ro¬ mance, Western, Crime and Other Types. Women were more interested in Musicals and Romance than were men. THEATRE CLOSINGS: In the 41-month period from April, 1953 to August, 1956, 303 35 mm. auditorium theatres have closed in Canada, according to figures is¬ sued by the Canadian Motion Picture Dis¬ tributors Association. These do not in¬ clude drive-ins or houses replaced by newer ones. In the same period, the CMPDA says, 118 standard-type theatres were opened and gives the number operat¬ ing as of August 30, 1956 as 1,752, of which 235 were drive-ins. The closings, by terri¬ tories, were: Vancouver 29, Calgary 24, Winnipeg 58, Toronto 92, Montreal 81 and Maritimes 19. Openings were: Vancouver 5, Calgary 30, Winnipeg 19, Toronto 8, Montreal 46 and Maritimes 10. COMMUNITY SHOWS: In 1954, 152 35 mm. and 493 16 mm. theatres were oper¬ ated as non-profit enterprises in churches and halls by religious, service and fra¬ ternal organizations, as well as Boards of Trade. The majority of the community enterprises are situated in Quebec and Saskatchewan. Most of the halls used 16 mm. projection equipment but the 152 halls where 35 mm. equipment was used ac¬ counted for 57 per cent of the receipts and 55.2 per cent of the total admissions. Only Manitoba and Prince Edward Island had more halls using 35 mm. equipment than 16 mm. PER CAPITA EXPENDITURE: The per capita expenditure for theatregoing in Canada in 1954 was $7.80, which compares with $8.30 in 1953, $8.21 in 1952, $7.72 in 1951, $7.12 in 1950, $6.89 in 1949, $6.50 in 1948, $5.77 in 1945 and $5.01 in 1942. Alberta led the provinces with a per capita ex¬ penditure of $10.39, then came British Co¬ lumbia with $10.13, Ontario with $8.85, Manitoba with $7.81, Saskatchewan with 29 Associated With the Independent Theatre Owners of Ontario The only organization of its kind in the Province A BUYING & BOOKING SERVICE FOR INDEPENDENT THEATRES 221 VICTORIA STREET TORONTO 1, ONTARIO Film Art Trailers SAM L.

CAPACITY UTILIZED: There was a drop of two per cent from the 29 per cent total of 1953 in the number of admissions sold in 1954 as against the maximum pos¬ sible. The “capacity utilized” potential is obtained by multiplying the number of seats in each theatre by the number of performances and cumulating the results. The 1954 percentage is the lowest since 1940, the highest having been 1946, when the figure was 37.6. PAYROLL: The collective wages and salaries of 15,786 people in the employ of Canada’s 1,938 (regular) theatres totalled $20,154,337 in 1954. Salaries and wages dropped 3.5 per cent in 1955. Forty-eight film distribution companies working from 136 exchange offices paid their employees $4,166,942. LANGUAGE: Of the 1,833 35 mm. films listed by the DBS as “New Films Released, 1954,” in all languages, 1,374 were in Eng¬ lish, 333 in French and 123 in other lan¬ guages. The 2,000 16 mm. films were made up of 1,422 in English, 423 in French and 155 in other languages.

The non-tax total, $94,479,463, compared with $105,515,563 in 1954, is a decrease of $11,036,100. The drive-ins' share was $5,749,623, which does not include amusement taxes of $600,565. There were 3,393 places of all types where films were shown, with 1,944 being regular theatres, 242 drive-ins, 616 community enterprises and 590 halls. Paid admissions, of 203,909,078 numbered 33,355,816 less than in 1954, 11,521,134 being to drive-ins, a decrease of 859,112 from the previous year. Combining all sources of theatre receipts and admissions, the figures show Canada's grand totals in 1955 without amusement tax, as $94,479,463 and $203,909,078 To get the actual total of the amount spent by the public for motion pic¬ ture entertainment in 1955 the amusement tax for that year should be added. The tax figure and the overall total which included it were respectively $10,870,348 and $105,349,811 In the table below only Itinerant Operators, who took in $341,439 in receipts for 945,176 admissions in 1955 are excluded and receipts and ad¬ missions from all other sources are given.

Thus they did not add a situation to the Canadian total. The above figures do not include some built as 16 mm. theatres. There is no doubt that the figures given in the table are not exact, for this information, as na¬ tional executives will tell you, isn’t as easy to gather as it ought to be. But the figures are close enough. It seems strange to some that while theatres were closing, mainly because of TV, others were opening. The reason is that many communities, formerly served by 16 mm. in halls, picked up enough population through the immigration wave or the coming of industries to them to support a 35 mm. theatre. Also drive-ins were being established. The theatres that closed were largely urban and old, the ones that opened are in smaller commu¬ nities. The 1954 statement of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics said: “The number of theatres and hall ex¬ hibiting motion pictures fell by 83 in 1954. The greatest change occurred in the number of halls serviced by itinerant operators. There were 147 fewer of these in 1954 than in 1953. Community enter¬ prises fell by 24. Regular theatres in¬ creased in number by 32 and drive-in theatres increased by 56.” Community enterprises, like halls, are almost all serviced with 16 mm. Regular theatres are almost all 35 mm. as are drive-ins. In spite of the depressed state of the theatre industry at this time, the building of the new movie houses is evidence that the film as audience entertainment is here to stay. 46 Theatres POPULATION LOCATION SEATING LICENSEES DRIVE-INS NON-COMMERCIAL SITUATIONS 47 THEATRES "O" means Odeon, "NBC" National Booking Co., "FP" Famous Players Canadian Corp., "EBA" Exhibitors Booking; Association.

Naturally, we have been proud of the producer, director and writer talents who have taken advantage of the opportunity afforded them through U.A. to enter into independent production. Recently, in a trade advertisement, we listed the names of this imposing array of creative talents from whose efforts we have promised you a minimum of 90 pictures over the next three years— 30 a year. This minimum is actually committed as of now and the 90 or more pictures are either already produced, or in production, or in various phases of script development. As part of this program, we have continuously stressed the importance of star power — of proven box-office values —and to that end, we have in many ways attempted to create inducements to stimulate additional production activity on the part of our stars, so that the good health of our great industry, which is measured at your box-office, could thrive. Now, as we go forward, we are thrilled, as you will be, by the results of this encouragement. We are listing here without frills and simply in alphabetical order, some of the stars who will appear in some of our releases for 1956. There are listed here 35 stars and 29 pictures, which is only a part of our program for 1956. All but a handful of these listed pictures are now in production and principal photography has been completed on most of them. We believe this is the greatest star pouer ever included in a single year's program of any one company in the history of motion pictures. Many of these same stars have numerous other projects not here listed in pre-production preparation for 1957 and 1958. Other stars, such as Joan Crawford, Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable and others, are now in the process of activating their programs. Other important announcements, adding to the U.A. family of pro¬ ducers, directors, writers and stars will soon supplement this imposing array. We hope that with this exciting line-up, you will feel amply rewarded for your past support of U.A. and that we may merit your ever increasing support, so that we, in turn, can make our contribution to the industry ever bigger and better.

This represented a gain of $1,336,642 over the $34,436,609 of 1953 and, when the receipts from advertising ($444,011, a drop of $89,- 966) and other sources ($450,350, a drop of $25,357) are added, gives us a grand total of $36,667,612. This is the reverse to the figures for boxoffice receipts and admissions for the same year. Theatre grosses were down by 3.3 per cent, amounting to a loss of $3,556,965, and admissions decreased by 8.5 per cent, representing 18,081,943 fewer sold tickets. Partially responsible for the gain in rentals while at the same time theatre receipts were dropping is the addition of 15 companies and 12 exchange branches to the field, most of these new ones open¬ ing to service TV and non-profit societies. According to the DBS, there were 7,302 films in 35 mm. used theatrically in 1954 and these were rented for $32,831,209. In 16 mm. gauge there were 1,513 films used theatrically and these took in $1,617,870 in rentals. The combined total for the two gauges was 8,815 films and $34,449,079. The difference between this figure and the one used earlier — $35,773,251 — being made up by income from films for industrial use and for private or non-theatrical use, which together had $1,324,172 in rentals. The $1,617,870 figure for theatrical 16 mm. rentals is a drop of $404,242 from the $2,022,112 of 1953 and is probably account¬ ed for by the closing of some 16 mm. houses and the conversion of others to 35 mm. However, the non-theatrical category of 16 mm. film rentals — given by the DBS as $1,324,172 in 1954 — shows a gain of $935,- 040 over 1953, reflecting the increased use of films by industrial concerns and TV. The following table of annual rentals, in which each figure represents the combined 16 and 35 mm. yield from every source, shows the progressive increase: Year Firms Branches Rentals 1930 — 59 $ 9,536,200 1933 — 59 6,797,600 1934 — 60 7,370,200 1935 — 61 7,404,500 1936 — 66 8,358,900 1937 — 63 9,471,100 1938 — 62 10,218,700 1939 — 67 10,315,500 1940 — 72 11,445,167 1941 — 69 12,368,446 1942 — 78 13,892,093 1943 23 87 15,163,355 1944 23 88 16,516,073 1945 26 86 17,490,264 1946 29 91 18,652,892 1947 29 114 19,464,706 1948 29 118 21,591,712 1949 37 119 24,893,657 1950 36 118 26,800,789 1951 33 123 29,225,867 1952 36 129 32,911,042 1953 33 124 34,436,609 1954 48 136 35,773,251 The figu res from the years previous to 1940 include receipts from advertising and other sources. The totals from 1946 on are presumed to be from every type of exhibi¬ tion, including drive-ins. The DBS report did not separate rentals from drive-ins, which increased by 5S to 230 in 1954 and gained $454,027 in receipts and 1,245,458 in admissions. It is well to remember that the overall decline in admissions and receipts took place in the face of a gain of 32 places of exhibition in the 1954 total of 3,471. Of these 1,938 were regular theatres — 32 more —and these included 210 using 16 mm. equipment. So that in 1954 theatres were increasing and admissions and receipts declining — a seemingly illogical situation. It is likely that rentals in 1955 will show their first drop since 1933, for receipts were down 10 per cent, according to the advance information from the DBS. New films of all types released during 1954 numbered 3,833 of which 1,833 were for theatrical use on a commercial basis. In 1953 the total of all types released was 3,521 and those for theatrical use numbered 2,983, which is 1,150 more. The decline in product is reflected in these figures. Of 1,833 35 mm. films 1,374 were in English, 336 in French and 123 in other languages. In 16 mm. the total was 2,000, of which 1,422 were in English, 423 in French and 155 in other languages. The USA provided 628 features, France 322, Great Britain 241, Canada 15, Italy 102 and other countries 126. The film distribution companies paid out over $600,000 more in salaries and wages in 1954 than they did in 1953, most of it accounted for by the new companies. 100 THE NEW RKO IN ACTION FULFILLS ITS PROMISE OF THE TOPS IN PICTURES AND STARS JOHN WAYNE ANITA EKBERG DIANA DORS DEBBIE REYNOLDS EDDIE FISHER DORIS DAY HENRY FONDA RICHARD EGAN DOROTHY MALONE CAMERON MITCHELL ROD STEIGER PICTURES VIVIAN BLAINE ROBERT RYAN YVONNE DE CARLO KEITH ANDES JANE POWELL JAMES MacARTHUR KIM HUNTER GLYNIS JOHNS JET PILOT BUNDLE OF JOY THE BRAVE ONE TENSION AT TABLE ROCK PUBLIC PIGEON NO. 1 DEATH OF A SCOUNDREL BACK FROM ETERNITY LOVE AFFAIR THE YOUNG STRANGER RUN OF THE ARROW I MARRIED A WOMAN THE DAY THEY GAVE THE BABIES AWAY AND MORE TO COME TORONTO MONTREAL SAINT JOHN WINNIPEG CALGARY VANCOUVER 101 * EASTMAN Profi esswna 1 Motion Picture Films Used wi tli c on fid ence hy the Industry for over Half a Century CANADIAN KODAK SALES LIMITED Toronto 9, Ontario 102 Production CANADIAN PRODUCTION & STATISTICS PRODUCTION FACILITIES STUDIOS AND PRODUCERS LABORATORIES RAW STOCK ASSOCIATIONS HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS NATIONAL FILM BOARD PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT UNITS CREDITS 103 EXPERIENCE With 46 companies reporting to Dominion Bureau of Sta¬ tistics, Crawley’s produced 21% of the 1595 gross dollar volume of Canada’s private film production.

The annual report showed income totalling $3,412,603 for its main program, compared with ex¬ penditures of $3,381,447. On its operations for government departments and other sales, the Board reported a surplus of $36,448, after income of $1,016,502 and expenses of $980,054. This gave a surplus on all activities of $67,604. Television is providing big new audiences for the NFB, the annual report for the fiscal year, tabled in the House of Com¬ mons by the Honorable John Pickersgill, stated an estimated 15,000,000 persons saw a single United States network TV broad¬ cast of the NFB film, Corral. In 1953-54, operating under a different accounting system which lumped all reve¬ nues and expenditures together, the Board had a surplus of $149,343 after income of $4,009,036 and expenses of $3,859,693. It should be noted that “surplus” as used by the NFB is not synonymous with “profit.” The Board reported increased revenue from rentals and royalties at $196,195, a rise from $130,795 in 1953-54. Theatrical bookings for the Canada Car¬ ries On series went down from 11,447 in the previous year to 10,719, largely because wide-screen pictures were longer and left no time for them. Eye Witness bookings were up 348 to 3,716. Theatrical bookings abroad showed a big gain: from 21,505 to 29,355. Production costs rose to $1,502,024 from $1,283,359 and distribution costs, including maintenance of regional distributing staff and printing, increased to $1,402,355 from $1,213,685. The parliamentary vote for operations in 1954-55 was $3,211,060, up from $2,883,- 650 in 1953-54. The Board’s income from rentals and royalties was $127,783 in Canada, $51,947 in the United States, $5,459 in the United Kingdom and $11,006 in other countries. No comparable figures were given in the 1953-54 report. Administration costs, including research, totalled $477,068, compared with $431,350 in 1953-54. A. W. Trueman, Government Film Com¬ missioner, wrote that it is too early to determine what effect TV will have on the Board’s program of producing films for theatres and other outlets. The Board, however, had supplied TV stations in Canada with “large portions of good Canadiana in the form of films.” NFB films had an estimated world-wide audience of more than 175,000,000. During the year 122 original films were produced, plus 113 film translations and adaptations to enable films to be shown through different distribution media. In late May the Board began occupying its new $6,000,000 plant in Montreal and closing its buildings in Ottawa, which had been its working as well as executive head¬ quarters. The Government Film Commis¬ sioner and certain personnel will remain in Ottawa. Official opening ceremonies of the Montreal plant took place in October. Total regular staff of the Board at March 31, 1955, was 567 as compared with 548 the previous year. Of the added 19, 12 were in the Technical Operations Branch. Appli¬ cations for employment numbered 1,858 and appointments were under 100. The number of resignations according to craft was not given. Seven scholars from Bur¬ ma, Denmark, Israel, Indonesia and Chile received training under the international assistance programs.

Manchester Director of Advertising . K. McKenzie REFRESHMENTS REFLECTING the constant search for newer and better merchandising tech¬ niques by managers, circuit executives and suppliers, the sale of refreshments continued its increase in spite of the decline in the number of theatres and patrons. It is estimated that the 1956 gross for refreshments will reach $35,000,000, compared with $30,000,000 in 1955. The greater per-head purchasing figure, brought about through ideas imitated in the USA, has kept Canada’s refreshment gross going in a healthier direction than its total boxoffice take or attendance. It is estimated that the average auditorium- theatre patron spends nine cents for re¬ freshments and the average drive-in patron 27 cents. About 90 per cent of our theatres have counter service compared with 70 per cent in 1953, when the last Canadian Film Weekly survey was taken. This 1956 figure and the others of that year are estimates. Those with both vending machines and counters went from 17.2 in 1953 to 30 per cent, while 100 per cent of Canadian thea¬ tres now sell one or more items. The dark clouds are the continuing re¬ duction in theatres under various forms of competition and some had debts from those now out of business.

Olive Copleston Recording Sec . Marion Kadey Treasurer . Ruth Frankson Publicity Reps . Mary Sasaki, Eileen Finnimore CUSTOMS, TARIFF, ETC. 16 MM. FILMS FROM USA Exposed motion picture film is subject to a duty of 1 V2 cents per linear foot ad valorem, which is not to exceed 20 per cent of the invoice value, plus a sales tax of 10 per cent. The duty 145 is to be computed on the prevailing rate of exchange on date of shipment. If the USA dollar is at a premium in Canada the invoice value is increased to compensate for the difference in exchange. If, however, the USA dollar is at a discount in Canada the invoice value is reduced. Here is how the tariff is worked out on a 5,000- foot film, invoiced at $400, when the Canadian dollar is at a premium of 2 per cent: Invoice value . $400.00 Less prevailing rate of exchange (2%) . 8.00 392.00 Duty on 5,000 feet at V/zt a foot 75.00 (As the Duty does not exceed 20% of the invoice value, in this case $78.40, the $75 is taken in full.) Amount subject to sales Tax 467.00 Sales Tax 10% 46.70 Amount payable (duty and sales tax) 121.70 16 MM. USA EDUCATIONAL OR RELIGIOUS FILMS (Covered by Tariff Item No. 696) Free of duty and sales tax, provided a certifi¬ cate is attached at time of clearing and signed by user. Form for this purpose may be obtained from the Customs Department. 16 MM. FILMS FROM GREAT BRITAIN Exposed motion picture film is free of duty but subject to a sales tax of ten per cent on the invoice value. 16 MM. EDUCATIONAL OR RELIGIOUS FILMS FROM GREAT BRITAIN (Covered by Tariff Item 696) Free of duty and sales tax, provided a certi¬ ficate is attached at time of clearing and signed by user. Form for this purpose may be obtained from the Customs Department. 35 MM. FILMS FROM USA Exposed motion picture film has a minimum value of eight: cents per foot for duty purposes. (An appraisal valuation of eight cents a foot is set by the Government, but if the invoice value is higher then the greater figure is used.) The duty is one and one-half cents per foot and this is added to the opproisal value. A sales tax of ten per cent is worked out against the total. The figures are the same for color or black-and- white. The appraisal value takes care of the fluctuation in exchange. Here is how the tariff is worked out: 1,000 feet at minimum value of 8; per foot . $80.00 Duty of 1 Vi t per foot 15.00 Amount dutiable 95.00 Sales tax 10% on $95 9.50 Amount payable (duty and sales tax) 24.50 35 MM. USA EDUCATIONAL OR RELIGIOUS FILMS (Covered by Tariff Item 696A) Free of duty and sales tax, provided that a certificate from the Office of Educational Ex¬ change, Washington, is submitted to and ap¬ proved by the Deputy Minister of Customs, Ottawa . 35 MM. FILMS FROM GREAT BRITAIN Exposed motion picture film is subject to the same duty and sales tax as USA shipments. 35 MM. EDUCATIONAL OR RELIGIOUS FILMS FROM GREAT BRITAIN (Covered by Tariff Item No. 696A) Free of duty and sales tax provided that a certificate from the Ministry of Education, Lon¬ don, is submitted to and approved by the Deputy Minister of Customs, Ottawa. OTHER ITEMS Duty on "Cinematograph and motion picture cameras for use by professional motion picture producers having studios in Canada equipped for motion picture production" and "parts for the foregoing" was removed entirely from those of British make under item 462b of the revised Schedule A. The Most Favoured Nation tariff on cameras and parts is now nine per cent and the General tariff is 15 per cent. Item 915 "Cellulose nitrate cinematograph and moving picture films, negatives, n.o.p.," sets the rate under British Preferential and Most Favoured Nation tariffs at ten per cent, with no discount when duty is less than 15 per cent. Item 658, which was free under British Prefer¬ ential tariff, Most Favoured Nation tariff and three cents per foot under General tariff, is list¬ ed at the same rates. Item 658 reads: "Motion picture film, of 16 millimetre width and over, when imported by recognized processors of motion picture film having duly equipped laboratories for processing motion picture film in Canada, for the sole purpose of having repro¬ ductions made therefrom, and provided that the original is re-exported within six months from the date of importation, under such regulations as the Minister may prescribe." Item 696 affords duty-free entry to a very broad range of articles and equipment imported into Canada for the use and by order of any society or institution incorporated or established solely for religious, philosophical, educational, scientific or literary purposes, or for the encour¬ agement of the fine arts, or for the use and by order of any public hopsital, college, academy, school or seminary of learning in Canada, and not for sale or rental. The articels referred to above include sound and silent Ims, separate sound Im tracks, positive and negative slides and filmstrips. The relation of tihs tariff item to certain artices of equipment is noted further on. Unexposed sensitized negative film of standard commercial width, viz., 35 mm., is rated for duty under Item 187b at 10 per cent ad valorem, Most Favoured Nation tariff. Unexposed sensitiz¬ ed negative film of lesser width, e.g., 8 mm. or 16 mm., is classified for duty purposes under Item 187 at 20 per cent ad valorem under Ihe aforesaid Tariff and is admitted free under British Preferential tariff. Exposed 35 mm. films pay a duty of 1.5 Cana¬ dian cents per foot. This tariff also applies to British films. As mentioned above, films for the use and by order of institutions of societies quali¬ fied for the entry benefits are exempt from duty. Film cameras, for use with films of 8 mm., 16 mm. or 35 mm. silent type, are considered to be admissible free of duty under the provision in Item 696 relating to "mechanical equipment of a class or kind not made in Canada," when for the use and by order of institutions or societies qualified for the entry benefits of this Item and not for sale or rental. Sound projectors for 16 mm. films are held to be articles of a class or kind not made in Canada and are therefore admissible under Item 696, when for the use and by order of institutions qualified for the entry privileges of this Item and not for sale or rental. Slide or filmstrip still-picture projectors, when valued at no less than $25 each retail in Canada, may be admitted free of duty under Item 696, when for the use and by order of institutions qualified for the entry privileges of this item and not for sale or rental. 146 Articles entitled to entry under Tariff Item 696 are exempt from the consumption or sales tax; otherwise this impost of ten per cent levied on the duty-paid value is applicable. INCOME TAX INFORMATION No changes were made in the Canada-United States Reciprocal Tax Convention during the past year, according to the Department of National Revenue. The effect of the Convention, as stated by the Legal Branch at the Taxation Division, is: “Under the Treaty Agreement between the United States and Canada, a credit for income tax deducted at source by one country will be allowed on the return filed by a taxpayer of the other country. Canadians earning income in the United States may claim credits in their Cana¬ dian returns for income tax withheld at a United States source, and Americans earning income in Canada may claim credit in their American returns for income tax withheld at a Canadian source. "Two methods may be used: (a) net income after withholding may be reported as total income from that source, or (b) the amount of tax withheld may be deducted from the tax otherwise payable in the taxpayer's country." PROVINCIAL LEGISLATION THE most comprehensive survey of the motion picture in action ever made and recorded is that which was issued by UNESCO in 1950, “Press/Film/ Radio,” which is one of the “Reports On the Facilities of Mass Com¬ munications” embracing the world. Pages 292 to 305 are devoted to Canada, a flattering amount of space indicative of its high standing in the film world. One of the most interesting sections of Unesco’s Canadian survey was called “Legislation,” which contained informa¬ tion surprising in its nature and quantity. It is reprinted here with revisions to bring it up to date. Apart from the National Film Act governing the operation of the National Film Board of Canada, which will be dealt with later on, no special film legislation has been issued by the Canadian Government, this being the domain of the pro¬ vincial governments. Each of these has enacted such legislation, mainly dealing with licensing and censorship as follows: Alberta: Amusements Act and the Regulations under the Amusements Act of 1941 lastly amended by Order in Council No. 488 of 2 May 1949. A recent amendment lowered the age at which children may attend movie theatres after 8 p.m. without adult com¬ panionship from 16 to 14. British Columbia: Moving Pictures Act 1924 as amended by the Moving Pictures Act Amend¬ ment Act 1948 and the Regulations under it (Regulations respecting Moving Picture Films and Film Exchanges, lastly amended by Order in Council No. 272 of 16 February 1950). Manitoba: Amusements Act 1924. New Brunswick: The Theatres Act 1927. Nova Scotia: The Theatres Cinematograph and Amusements Act 1923, and Regulations thereunder (lastly revised 7 July 1945). Ontario: The Theatres Act, 1953, a complete revision of the Theatres and Cinematographs Act, first passed in 1911. Under the new act the minimum age under which children may at¬ tend movies unaccompanied is lowered from 16 to 14. The term "theatre" is redefined to apply only to those showing 35 mm. films. The exhibition of 16 mm. films, in halls be¬ comes the responsibility of local officials. The previous men-per-booth law is withdrawn. Films classified as "Adult Entertainment" must be so advertised in the papers and identified outside the theatre. Under the category called "Restricted" certain films are allowed exhibi¬ tion for patrons over 18, each engagement requiring approval. Prince Edward Island: There is no Board of Cen¬ sors. Pictures shown must be approved by the New Brunswick Board of Censors. Quebec: Act respecting Exhibitions of Moving Pictures 1925 and the regulations under it (Regulations respecting the censorship of films, lastly revised by Order in Council No. 342 of 31 March 1949). Saskatchewan: The Theatres and Cinematographs Act 1940 and the Regulations under the Thea¬ tres and Cinematographs Act, lastly amended by Order in Council No. 48 of 1948. Finally, in the North West Territories which do not constitute a province, there is the Ordi¬ nance respecting Motion Pictures, lastly amen¬ ded on 17 March 1948, dealing mainly with theatre licensing and safety conditions. As there are only four licensed cinemas in the North West Territories which obtain films through provincial distribution, and as such films have been censored by the provincial authorities, it has not been con¬ sidered necessary to carry out further censorship. In Newfoundland, there is an "Act regarding the Censoring of Moving Pictures," but no regu¬ lations have been laid down thereunder. At one time a Board of Censorship existed but it was dissolved some years ago. All provincial acts contain regulations con¬ cerning the licensing of cinemas with a view to public safety and compliance with censorship rules. Generally the licensing includes perma¬ nent cinemas as well as mobile cinemas and drive- in theatres both for 35mm and 16mm. In the Pro¬ vince of Quebec, film performances in the open air, and consequently drive-in theatres, are prohi¬ bited. Most of the provinces require by law that projectionists must pass an examination and obtain a certificate. Film exchanges (distributing companies and their local agents) must also be licensed, generally to ensure the safe storage of films. In different provinces, such as the provinces of Alberta, Nova Scotia and Ontario, the law contains a clause according to which the authority in charge may prescribe the terms and conditions under which films may be sold, leased or exchanged. In addition the Lieutenant-Governor in Council of the province of Ontario may require! that a proportion of the films available for distribution to exhibitors and the films exhibited in each 147 theatre be of British manufacture and origin, and he may fix such proportions on a monthly or yearly basis. The Nova Scotia Theatres, Cinematographs and Amusement Act lays down that no cinema may be deprived of the number of films neces1- sary for its operation and also that no cinema may contract for more films than are reasonably required. A special rule of the British Columbia Moving Pictures Act provides for the establishment of a British Columbia Patriotic and Educational Picture Service under the Department of the Attorney-General. The task of this service is to produce and acquire films and slides of a patrio¬ tic, educational or entertaining nature (espe¬ cially concerning the Province or the Domion) and to furnish them without charge for public exhibition in the cinemas. The Director of the Service may issue directions to the cinemas as to the times and manner of the exhibition of the films and slides. Finally different provincial acts deal with entertainment taxes and all of them contain censorship rules. The general pattern is that censorship is exercised in each province by a Censorship Board and appeals against the deci¬ sions of these Boards can be made to the pro¬ vincial Appeals Boards. Furthermore, films are usually censored under two categories: Adult and Suitable for Family Entertainment (or Gener¬ al). The age under which children may not visit cinemas unless films especially approved for them are shown, varies from 14 to 16 years. How¬ ever, in the Province of Quebec children under 16 are not admitted at all. (For censorship fees and exchange licences see Censorship section.) PHOTO ENGRAVERS & ELECTROTYPERS LTD.

Despite our small population we are third in the world in the number of TV receiving sets being used, 40 per cent of our 16,000,000 people being equipped, with service being available to 75 per cent of populated areas. Canada is the only country in the world which is developing TV in two languages at once. Because Canada is larger than the USA, which has ten times our popula¬ tion, one New York TV station can cover more people than our 34. Eight of the 34 stations are operated by the CBC, the rest being licensed through it by private interests. There are only three places in the world where more programs are produced than in either Toronto or Montreal— Holly¬ wood, London and New York. CBLT, Toronto, transmits about 50 original hours a week and about 160 of the 500 registered actors and actresses in the city will be employed in a good week. USA programs are produced at up to 15 times the cost of Canadian ones. The only TV resembling the pay-as-you- see idea on this continent is Rediffusion, Inc. of Montreal, a monthly-payment com¬ pany which provides sets, but there were 14 other community-antennae companies in the Fall of 1956, compared with six a year earlier. Rediffusion is a closed-circuit operation employing telephone lines, as do the others. Famous Players Canadian Corporation has a 25-year franchise from International Telemeter Corporation of the USA, its subsidiary being Trans Can¬ ada Telemeter Limited. It plans to erect community antenna towers for subscription television in Kiti- mat, BC and Kenora, Ontario. It is predicted that some form of pay-see TV will be employed in this country, where the comparatively small population living in an area larger than the USA makes needed revenue a great problem. What hap¬ pens in Canada will no doubt be dictated largely by what happens in the USA, where the FCC has held up pay-see TV pending certain decisions regarding its jurisdiction. In Canada there is also the question of whether pay-see TV is “broadcasting” under the Radio Act. If pay-see TV wins approval in the USA Canada, from a stand¬ point of economics, will have to fall in line — according to authoritative opinion. Famous Players, a movie chain with television interests, favored pay-see TV. Its spokesman and president, J. J. Fitz- gibbons, said theatres could share it. He told the commission that there is little future for small theatres. The Theatre Owners Association of Quebec opposed toll TV squarely. No other exhibition group or firms made declarations to the com¬ mission. Representatives of Canadian and Ameri¬ can interests for and against toll TV stated their positions before an Ottawa session of the Royal Commission on Broadcasting in September, 1956. Famous Players also has the only perma¬ nent theatre-TV equipment in Canada, which is to be found in the Imperial, To¬ ronto, this country’s largest theatre. Using portable equipment, Loew’s Up¬ town Theatre, Toronto, offered Canada’s first and only theatre-TV program, the Marciano-Moore fight in September, 1955, to a packed house. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation spent $25,274,260 for television in its 1955- 56 fiscal year on programs and got back commercial revenue totalling $7,403,438, it was revealed in its annual report. The $25,274,260 figure compared with one of $15,915,901 in the previous year. A consid¬ erable reduction in TV service is ahead “unless some additional special provision for funds was made” and the Government, anticipating this, had proposed a $12,000,000 grant in its 1956-57 supplementary esti¬ mates. Total income of the CBC was $38,942,402, such income being made up of all monies from any source, including government grants and the 15 per cent excise tax on radios and TV sets. Expenditures came to $38,572,512, this figure indicating a surplus until the addition of a $1,728,511 deprecia¬ tion allowance, after which a deficit be¬ comes evident. The net deficit of the TV 161 service was $1,071,791. The 1954-55 opera¬ tion expenditure was $29,103,538. CBC television operations include six English-language and two French-language stations and the supplying of a national service of programs for 22 private stations. The English-language service was avail¬ able to 9,000,000 English-speaking people, the French service, on five stations, to about 4,000,000 French-speaking people. The national service averaged 35 hours a week in English and 27 hours in French. It included sustaining programs supplied and broadcast free of charge on private stations. Private outlets also shared in the commercial revenue from sponsored CBC- produced programs they carried. Gross billings to sponsors and agencies totalled $19,471,530, from which there were deductions of $2,706,455 to private stations, $3,261,870 for agency and network com¬ missions and $4,368,260 for direct produc¬ tion costs. The excise tax revenue of $22,799,955 was up by about $1,330,000 from 1954-55. It provided $17,737,991 for television ser¬ vices and $5,061,984 for radio. This revenue is expected to drop this year as television sales are near the saturation point. Miscellaneous sources such as broad¬ casting license fees charged to private stations, interest on investments and profits on the sale of bonds totalled $757,502. During the last fiscal year, the CBC received its sixth television service loan, amounting to $8,250,000. The corporation now owes the Government $24,250,000 for television, and $3,173,802 for radio, or a total of $27,423,802. The loans are repaid in semi-annual payments over periods ranging up to 30 years. Among other costs for both radio and television, engineering expenditures were $7,699,907; wire lines for station networks cost $2,498,306; and administrative ex¬ penses amounted to $1,561,857. These fig¬ ures showed small increases over 1954-55. The CBC report indicated that it was “planning to maintain services and carry out essential development within the limits of the resources available” pending Par¬ liament’s decisions on future financing. It said the parliamentary decisions would be based on recommendations contained in the report of the aforementioned Royal Commission on Broadcasting. The CBC report was tabled in the House of Com¬ mons during the Spring session by Na¬ tional Revenue Minister J. J. McCann, who reports to Parliament for the Crown- owned corporation. All aspects of Canadian television and sound broadcasting, including financing and the power of the Canadian Broadcast¬ ing Corporation to regulate private broad¬ casting, were reviewed by the three-man Commission appointed by the Cabinet. The Commission is not a law-making body but one which makes recommendations based on its findings. R. M. Fowler of Montreal, president of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, is chairman. The other members are James Stewart of Toronto, president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and Ed¬ mond Turcotte, Canadian ambassador to Colombia. Many organizations submitted briefs to the Commission. Some endorsed the CBC, some opposed it broadly and others made suggestions for minor revisions in its scope or/ and policies. The brief of the Canadian Association of Radio and Television Broad¬ casters suggested reduction of the CBC to a production agency only and merging it with the National Film Board, a Govern¬ ment production-distribution organization which will direct about 50 per cent of its output in 1956 to CBC TV outlets.

Quite a few anti-censorship articles have appeared in Canadian periodicals in the past few years, while during that time there have also been heard demands for greater re¬ strictions. Film censorship in Canada is a Provin¬ cial matter, although it is considered that Customs officials can exercise Federal au¬ thority to stop entry should they so desire. The great inconsistency of the day is that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, outside the power of Provincial officials, can and does show films without any censorship it does not impose upon itself. The censorship idea not only encompasses film content considered unsuitable by ap¬ pointed officials but bans juveniles from theatres under certain conditions. But neither juveniles nor objectionable content can be banned from the home — and that is where uncensored films arrive via tele¬ vision. This discrimination is kept alive, some insist, to maintain the flow of revenue from per-reel censorship charges. The Canadian Motion Picture Distributors As¬ sociation, while not objecting to censorship as a body, has asked and in some cases re¬ ceived reduction of censorship fees. It con¬ tends that censorship, which has a doubt¬ ful legality because it constitutes pre¬ judgment, should not be operated at a profit. The question of whether censor¬ ship is legal under the British North Ame¬ rica Act has never been determined, a test having been dropped before it reached the Privy Council. Canada has eight censorship boards in ten provinces and fees are paid in nine. That is a greater number than exist in the 48 states of the USA right now.

TELEFILM OF CANADA Distributors of Motion Pictures For Television Jerry Solway Dick Rosenberg TELEFILM OF CANADA 130 CARLTON ST. WALNUT 2-2563 TORONTO 169 CAPAC is an association of composers, authors and music publishers which was organized to collect fees for public per¬ formances of copyright music. Like all similar organizations in other countries, CAPAC can make no profits for itself, pays no dividends and charges its members no agency commission, no entrance fees or subscriptions. All fees collected are distribu¬ ted among the composers, authors and publishers concerned, in proportion to the relative use of their music. No expenses are deducted from the fees beyond the bare cost of administration, which is less than fifteen percent of the gross amount collected. CAPAC is necessary not only to composers, authors and publishers, but also to those concerned with the public per¬ formance of music. In the report of the 1935 Copyright Com¬ mission this was officially recognized: — “It (CAPAC) is a central bureau ... for the convenience of the copyright owners . . . and the music users . . . such bureau is necessary to protect the performing rights of authors, composers and publishers, and is also a convenience to the users of music ...” Most countries have legislation similar to the Canadian Copyright Act and so, through its affiliation with national soci¬ eties in 30 countries, CAPAC is able to grant a licence covering the music of 100,000 composers, authors and publishers of many nationalities. Membership in CAPAC enables Canadians to receive fees for performances of their music in other countries. The fees CAPAC collects from broadcasting stations, mo¬ tion picture theatres, concert halls, hotels, restaurants, clubs, public parks, dance halls, sports arenas, factories, steamships, etc., are fixed each year by a government board known as the Coypright Appeal Board, and are published in the “Canada Gazette.” COMPOSERS, AUTHORS AND PUREISHERS ASSOCIATION of Canada Limited 170 MUSIC BMI CANADA LTD. 16 Gould St., Toronto 2, Ont.

Of the 1,938 “Regular Theatres” 210 16 mm. houses, an increase of 17 over 1953, had receipts of $664,062 for 1,686,705 admis¬ sions, as against $685,208 from 1,790,392 admissions the year previous. All figures used exclude amusement taxes. The increase in the number of 16 mm. situations is mostly accounted for by the increase of the Canadian population by immigration and the expansion of new areas for motion picture entertainment. So great was this growth that it made up in the overall total for those theatres which converted to 35 mm. and those which were forced to shutter due to the coming of TV. However, indications are that 1955 had a drop in 16 mm. places of exhibition due to TV’s expansion into new areas. The DBS differentiates between “Re¬ gular Theatres,” Itinerant Operators, Community Enterprises and Drive-in Theatres. Itinerant Operators, of course, are those exhibitors who travel from town to town carrying portable equip¬ ment, usually on a regular schedule. Community Enterprises are defined as “Community or parish halls in which mo¬ tion pictures are exhibited by non-profit organizations such as churches, lodges, Boards of Trade, Canadian Legion bran¬ ches, etc. Although a regular admission is charged, these halls differ from regu¬ lar theatres in that members of the or¬ ganizations operating them frequently provide their services free of charge.” Both Community Enterprises and Itin¬ erant Operators showed decreases in everything except average admission prices. Of the 645 Community Enterprises 493 used 16 mm. equipment and these took in $774,431 from 2,360,943 admis¬ sions for an average admission price of 34c, as against 519 establishments, $903,- 605 in receipts and 2,693,832 admissions at an average price of 33c the year pre¬ vious. While the DBS report does not separ¬ ate 35 mm. Itinerant Operators from those using 16 mm. it notes that there were two out of 141 who used the large- gauge equipment in 658 halls in 1954 and four of 158 who used the standard-width equipment in 805 halls in 1953. The Itin¬ erant Operators in 1954 took in $385,682 from 1,106,070 admissions which aver¬ aged 35c, compared with $468,562 from 1,381,655 admissions, at an average price of 34c in 1953. During 1954 there were 1,513 films dis¬ tributed theatrically and these took in $1,617,870 in rentals, a big drop of $404,- 242 from the $2,022,112 of 1953. This de¬ crease is likely accounted for by the de¬ cline in busines due to TV and other factors, which caused the closing of a number of situations. On the other hand, 16 mm. films for non-theatrical use re¬ turned $1,324,172 in 1954, a gain of $953,- 040 over the year previous, and is due to the increased use of such films by in¬ dustrial concerns and the expansion of television.
