FROM THE FILES OF<br />
f^ECIL B. DeMILLE says that home movies<br />
by radio will in no way replace the professional<br />
motion picture. This is because the<br />
psychology of seeing a performance in company<br />
with a large number of persons heightens<br />
the emotional reactions, as well as the<br />
undoubted superiority of a professional presentation<br />
in the theatre . Guinan<br />
will make her debut as a film star in a Vitaphone<br />
all-talking picture. "Queen of the<br />
Night Clubs."<br />
At the signing of the treaty of Paris, outlawing<br />
war, motion picture news agencies, for<br />
the first time in history, were given choice<br />
positions near the signers. Ray Hall, editor<br />
of Pathe News, says, "This seems a high<br />
compliment to the importance of the newsreel<br />
as an impartial observer. Governments of<br />
the world recognize as never before the vast<br />
influence of newsreels as can-iers of information<br />
to the public."<br />
Arrangements are well under way for the<br />
convention of Motion Picture Owners of<br />
America to be held in Toronto, in which practically<br />
evei-y state in the union and all parts<br />
of the Dominion will be represented. John<br />
Eberson, one of the best-known theatre architects<br />
in the world, will address the convention.<br />
