ENCOURAGING AMERICAN TOURISTS.
SCENIC BEAUTIES BEING PHOTOGRAPHED.
Wellington, Sept, 9. The Hon. W. Nosworthy, Minister in charge of the Tourist Department, states that there are at present three corporations engaged in filming the scenic beauties of New Zealand for exhibition in America. The famous Fox film organisation has sent one delegation, and another has been working for some time in the South Island, and is now engaged in the North Island. This is conducted by Messrs Clifton and Penrod, of San Francisco, the latter of whom is regarded as one of the foremost cinema camera men in the United States. The third is a New Zealand organisation known as Tours Ltd., behind which are most of the leading motor companies in the Dominion. Messrs J. E. Winsloe and C. Haigh are leaving almost immediately for America with 60,000 feet of scenic New Zealand films, which will be shown in all the larger centres of the United States. AU these organisations are working in conjunction with the Tourist, Publicity and Railway Departments.
