FILM TO BE MADE
"OUR ROYAL HERITAGE"
TELEVISING OF CORONATION
LONDON, November 30. The "Daily Telegraph" says that the King has given permission for the filming of the interior of Westminster Abbey, including the Coronation throne and the ancient Stone of Scone, for a film entitled "Our Royal Heritage," which will be shown during "the Coronation festivities. The throne will be moved for the first time for centuries to facilitate the filming. "Shots" will also be made of Buckingham Palace gardens and the King's aeroplane. It is hoped that the film will raise £50,000 for the George V Memorial Fund.
The "News Chronicle" states that all difficulties in the way of broadcasting and televising the Coronation are now overcome. The British Broadcasting Corporation will shortly invite radio authorities throughout the world to relay the broadcast gratis. Tests have convinced technicians that the normal lighting of the Abbey is sufficient to permit of the entire ceremony being televised. -
