C. ? ?L igMHMqagaaeM (Germans To Try to p Capture Picture Trade e Berlin, Dec. 10.?German motion a picture film manufacturers have per- ^ fected a cooperative organization one *: of the prime purposes of which is to ? capture the European trade held by American producers. In the effort to compete with the American film the Germans are endeavoring to develop a "screen humor," which heretofore has been lacking in their productions. Virtually all Teuton films, until recently, 1 have dealt only with historical, legendary and romantic subjects. Some of the more ambitious Ger- f man companies have engaged Amer- _ ican directors and are striving to put 1 Americon "pep" into their plays, to * meet home consumption as well as ex- 1 port demands, for American films ' smuggled into the country during the 1 last several months when importa- 1 lions were forbidden proved surpris- ' ingly popular. A survey of the world film mar- i kcts by interested Germans disclosed s American films were more popular ' han any others in Italy, England. 1 Scandinavia and the Balkans, which I led to a discussion of what was wrong ^ with the German technique. The con- 1 'iisus of opinion seemed to be that ' the American films were "better" han- ( died" and were sprinkled generally J with a lively humor. I This verdict was sharply criticized, t however, by a number of German pro- s ducers who hold to the opinion that t German technique is bound to prevail ? j over the "slap-stick qpmedy" and the ' "silly sentimental things produced c U only to show rows of white teeth and ^ a smile." S I The Germans early made an effort d to compete in the American home ii market, and succeeded until recently 4 in disposing of 300 expensive films, 8 B which, however, are still being held\ k for release. An effort toward coop-1 h eration between American and tier-is man producers, begun several months jn aero, appeared to stumble over the! t problem of cost and the uncertainty! S of the value of German money which o made makikng of contracts difficult. e Average cost of German films ti i ranges between half a million and eight hundred million marks, although b I two or three films have been produced b at a cost approximating ten million q i marks each. ti I Producers complain of their inabil- fi ity to secure good manuscripts, and I ii at the same time admit they are un-l e | able to pay for new talent, which is < e being contracted in foreign countries ; g This and the fact that America is said si to have a virtual monopoly of raw j a films is handicapping the Germans in . tl their announced purposing of captur- ir ing the world film market. , a: 1 Tim no ?u:?u in.iis >viiitu ure cooperating p rtnnounccs, however, an increase in ex- ni HARD T( Bl EASY TO R l tc in rioN; iG 0N| ; Fl NG CO. ; fe RDAY 10:30 A.

This is perhaps the nost incisive way of saying that the ittle Slav kingdom hus recovered in he most spectacular way f.om the fleets of the war. For the first ime in 10 years the country is standng on its own feet and is in no need >f outside assistance. The peasantry >f Jugoslavia, which form the back>one and sinew of the country, are ;njoying a degree of prosperity and mateiial contentment unknown he'ore. Other countries may have their unemployment problems, but Jugoslavia has none. Indeed, she has ibundant work for thousands of iliens who are honest, have the will ;o work and are free from Bolshevism. Two hundred thousands good Russians who were without employment since the Petrograd revolution >f 1917 have come to hospitable Jugoslavia and found useful and srofitable pursuits among people of heir own tongue. Every -Serbian oldier, oto, has found remuneraive work upon leaving the army. Soldiers' unions, legions, or employnent bureaus do not exist in this ountry. The most impressive evdience of lerbia's rejuvenation is the extra^rlinary building boom which is sweepng the country. In Belgrade alone ,000 buildings are in course of contraction. In every corner of the :ingdom business buildings, schoolouses and private dwellings are pringing up with a rapidity that reninds one of the building boom in he Western towns of the United Itates when gold was discovered, or f the home-building craze that seizd the suburban centers of that counry a decade ago. Every square foot of the 4,000 uildings now in erection in the Serian capital is taken, and it will reuire thousands of adidtional struciires to accommodate the business rms and individuals who are flocklg ti the Jugoslavian metropolis in ver-increasing numbers. Once callil "an overgrown village," Belrade is now for the first time asuming the proportions, importance nd dignity of a real capital. Soon le city will have a splendid Parliaicnt building, a royal residence and n Opera House of which more proserous and ostentatious countries tight feel proud. ) GET? IT LOSE? N.
