THE “NEW ZEALAND HERALD” SAYS :— “Satisfactory results have attended Mr. Rudall Hayward’s efforts in producing his first film dealing with present-day life in New Zealand. ‘‘The Bush .Cinderella,” which was given a private screening on Thursday, follows a series of most creditable historical films of the pioneering days. It shows the film industry in the Dominion, which is practically centred in the efforts of one man, gradually emerging from its days of infancy, and becoming quite a lusty child. “The Bush Cinderella” is a romantic drama, with more than a touch of melodrama effectively added. The story was written by Mr. Henry Hayward v doyen of New Zealand showmen, who, from long years of experience, is in a position to know what the public demands in a him story. He has furnished a gripping tale with excellent possibilities for character!sation, and Mr. Rudall Hayward has embellished it with an intelligent direction, and some really excellent, cameracraft. He has even experimented m the field ot novel camera angles, with most satisfying results. And, in the acting, too, there is a marked advance over that m his previous productions. . For this, most credit must go to Miss Dale Austen, whose work clearly shows the benefit of her Hollywood experience. Opposite her is Mr. Cecil Scott, who was recently in revue in. Auckland. He has captured the romantic air necessary for such a part, and shows a commendable grasp of screen technique. Other parts, too, are well cast, Mr. Hayward has secured some very fine types, especially for the country P c while Mr. Tamo Fama gives a polished performance as one of the several villa Altogether, P “The Bush Cinderella,” for a local film, is in a high class, and on its release in the near future, should meet with a most successful season. “THE BUSH CINDERELLA” STARRING “MISS NEW ZEALAND” (MISS DALE AUSTEN.) NEW ZEALAND’S OWN PRODUCTION.
