BRITISH FILMS
LARGE PURCHASES MADE.
I THEATRES IN NEW ZEALAND.
(Per Press Association). WELLINGTON, June 19
A development of considerable interest to the picture industry occurred during a recent visit to Australia by Mr Beaumont Smith, who arranged, on behalf of certain well-known exhibiting firms, for the purchase of the bulk of British films available for exhibition in New Zealand.
The entire output of British Dominion Films was secured, including British Gaumont Gainsbborough, British Lion, Twickenham Films and Stirling productions. In addition, New Zealand exhibiting companies have contracts for London Films productions, and several other major British companies.
Arrangements have been made for the exhibition of B/itish films in the theatres controlled by the firms concerned in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Wanganui, Palmerston North, Invercargill, Napier, Hastings, New Plymouth, and other centres. The new arrangement will start within the next few weeks. »
