LATE LOCALS.
“That New Zealand maintains a Cineniatograjih. Department especially equipped to produce films that will best advertise this Dominion is a fact known to very few, ’ ’ declared a speaker at the Auckland Advertising Club’s meeting on Friday, “and the responsibility for this lack of knowledge rests upon the Government. The films are well planned and executed, but those responsible for their publicity defeat their own object by refusing to plAco them on circuit in this country or elsewhere where they would be welcomed and appreciated. They are shipped to London where they arc ‘canned’ in the High Commissioner’s office, which is destitute of . any facility for exhibition or distribution. The present methods are positively incompetent ami should at once be remedied, particularly in view of New Zealand’s great scenic assets and the potential value of the tourist traffic that these films would inevitably attract. ’ ’
