FILM CHANGES

EXHIBITION ENTERTAINMENT Changes in the him programmes aa the various theatres at the Centennial Exhibition are made from time to time so that their interest is always fresh, even for regular visitors to the Exhibition. This week in the Australian pavilion a new half-hour film is being shown which illustrates the rapid development of Australia’s new-found wealth—her steel products. Through the film a comprehensive survey of the huge undertaking of the major works at Newcastle (New South Wales) can be made in half an hour Needs of war have created a demand which does not allow the hungry blast furnaces to cool off day or night, for, apart from munitions, there is a proportionate demand on kindred manufactures, such as the making of barbed wire, steel hawsers, sheet metal, galvanised iron, wheels, axles, and steel pipes. This film traces the course of pig iron from when it is poured white hot from the furnaces until it appears in a multiplicity of finished products. For the present the other five daily programmes at the Australian pavilion wiil remain unchanged, but the story of hardwoods, vineyards, canning, and

pineapple growing will give way to ‘ Steel and ,Iron ’ at the 4.20 p.m. ses-. sion. It is supported by a short film, ‘ Golden Fleece,’, giving '-glimpses ‘into the wool industry, which is worth about £55,000,000 anhually-to Australia. ‘TWENTY WHITE HORSES.’ The Government Court theatrette, which shows educational films and films of scenic and industrial interest, is starring a new release also this week in the form, of , a film that tells - the story of New Zealand school dental clinics. ‘ Twenty White Horses,’ which is the title of the film, is a complete talking picture with all the characters, speaking their parts—a new departure from the ‘films which have,beep shown in.the past, which were mainly voiced by a commentator. The film shows not only the actual contact of the child and parent with the clinic, hut also the training of the clinic’s staff. This film is shown at the following times: —11.15 a.m., 1.15, 2.15, .‘1.15, 4.15, 5.15, 6.45, 7.45, and 8.45 p.m.
