SCENIC FILMS OF NEW ZEALAND
Not Enough in Australia Dominion Special Service. Auckland, September 14. Not enough films showing New Zealand’s tourist attractions are sent to Australia, stated Captain Frank Hurley, the well-known explorer and photographer, who arrived at Auckland by the Niagara from Sydney. Only one such film, he said, had been shown In Australia in the last 12 months so far as he knew, and the reception given to this one caused him to believe that more should be made and sent. Captain Hurley said the value of these films in encouraging Australians to visit New Zealand would well repay the expense of making them, but ,the producers would have to pay. more attention to the continuity of their films. He had seen one coming over from Australia and the continuity was so bad that he did ilot know in which part of New Zealand he was at any one time. The inclusion of a thread of a story sufficient to ■ give the films a psychological interest would also repay the producers.
