DEEP-SEA FISHING
A FINE FILM RECORD During his visits to New Zealand in quest of deep-sea sport, Mr. Zane Grey has been able to secure a fine film record of the thrills attendant upon the capture of the fighting swordfish and mako shark. The Minister in Charge of Tourist and Publicity (Hon. P. A. de la Perrelle) has been informed that this special feature film with sound and dialogue added is now ready foi re lease in the United States, Canada, England, and Europe, and at private screenings has already been described as one of the most absorbingly inter esting films ever taken. Further pictures, which include um ique scenes and fishing thrills at the Galapagos Islands, hunting in Mexico and Newfoundland and at the Perlon Islands, are now being assembled and will possibly be shown in conjunction with the New Zealand film. Mr. Grey states that he has incorporated in the picture some striking and unusual scenes taken by the Publicity Office cameramen at the Bay of Islands, Mercury Bay, and Tauranga, which will serve to show the great range of fishing waters available along the coastline of the Dominion. The release of this film is expected to prove a wonderful advertisement for New Zealand throughout the world.
