(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:

Serbia Has "Come Back"
Belgrade, Jugoslavia, Dec. 10 (By
["he Associated Press).?Serbia has
'come back." 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.
