Show British Films From the Front. An important announcement by Mr. Asqulth in reply to a question from Sir H. Norman shows that the government is following the excellent example of the French government in allowing cinematograph cinemato-graph records to be taken of suitable scenes at the front and along the lines of communication. These films will be available for exhibition in the picture halls throughout the country, and as they will he produced under official supervision, the public will have the satisfaction of seeing for themselves some of the real phases of the war, The experiment, in whim the French government took the initiative, initia-tive, will stimulate public interest in th" campaign in the west to a much greater degree than the best word pictures that can be drawn, and will for the time being be-ing at least bring us face to face with actualities and all that they may portend. It Is a wise concession to public opinion and will be highly prized. Dundee Advertiser. |
