I agree with Sydney Carroll in the "Sunday Times" that six of the biggest money-making films of the day, are of British—origin—"Pygmalion," "Victoria the Great." "A Yank at Oxford," "The Citadel," "The Drum" and "Sixty Glorious Years." These six pictures will take at the box-ofülees of the world nearly £7,000,000.
En passant I may mention that "The Citadel" is breaking every record at the Empire. The figures set up by Garbo's "Mara Hari" six years ago came tumbling down. In one day the public paid £1,900 to see Metro's second successive smash hit since they started producing in Britain, "Sixty Glorious Years," generally released now, beat the results of "Victoria the Great" in almost every cinema, and in some places doubled and trebled them.
"Pygmalion," has already broken records where it has been shown, and what is very important, all three of these films have either had or are having cutstandnig successes in New York.
