“THE LAND WE LIVE IN.”

A commendable effort to distract the attention of all, for at any rate a little space, from the sensational type of film, and direct their thoughts towards a more educative and inspiring type, has been made by the New Zealand Educational Film Company, in the new series “The Land We Live In.” This film is attracting the leaders in educational circles to the value of the kinematograph as an instructional force. It comprises a collection of moving pictures, cleverly as- ' sembled, which reveals to those hitherto limited in knowledge, the many potentialities of the Dominion. In an exhaustive tour through the country, from the far north to the uttermost regions of the south, the film places the spectator in intimate communion with many of the most famous beauty spots in the Dominion. To mention no others, the scenes depicting lovely stretches of the Wanganui River, the marvels of Rotorua, and the grandeur of mountain scenery and graceful waterfalls, make this portion of the film a revelation. All the large cities and towns are also shown on the screen, making familiar scenes that have hitherto been hearsay. Artistically interwoven into the scheme of the series are several industrial sections. The film will pe screened at the Princess Theatre, commencing next Saturday at 11 a.m. Matinee sessions will be arranged every afternoon for pupils of the local schools. In Dunedin, Wellington and Christchurch large numbers of school pupils attended through the hearty co-operation of their headmasters, who realised the advantage of this ideal geographical educational picture.
