A TRAVEL FILM
Tn most people strong is the urge to travel. Perhaps this explains the reason for the popularity of the pictures, be they “silent” or “talkie,” depicting the customs and secnie attractions of a country. There are few things more enjoyable than to sit in a comfortable theatre and gaze upon panorama after panorama of a beautiful land as it. is unfolded on lhe screen. 'This sensation was enjoyed by three or four hundred people who accepted an invitation to attend a private screening at the Majestic Theatre yesterday of a film showing views of the territory covered by the Canadian Pacific Railways. It is no exaggeration to say that every minute of the programme was enjoyed to the full. The views were screened under the captions of “Lake Louise,” “On the Way to Lake Windermere.” "Banff,” “Sky Trails in the Bear Country.” nnd "Highlands at Banff.” Many tributes were paid to lhe enterprise of the Canadian Pacific .Railways by those fortunate enough to withness the screening of what was generally admitted to be one of the finest pictures of ils kind shown in Wellington.
