By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Received Dec. 17, 7.35 p.m. London, Dec. 16
Mr. J. G. Coates was present at the new gallery trade showing of the film "Hinemoa.” There was excellent photography, scenery and portrayal of Maori customs and dances, but a certain demlernee® of plot and paucity of incident. Mr. Coates, speaking after the show, said; “I was delighted to be privileged to witness this first venture by the producers to use New Zealand as a milieu o' film production. The Maoris were among the most loyal and generous ,of the Empire’s citizens. New Zealand has many lovely Jakes, and lands. 1 heard Hinemoa’e love story in my own infancy. J think the production splendid.’’
