NEW ZEALAND IN PENANG

,News comes from Penang, ■in the "Straits Echo," of the immense success of films of the Dominion shown through the agency of Miss Criehton-Imrie. The leading theatre was [taxed beyond its capacity when the "Scenic Wonders and Industrial Life of New■ Zealand'? were shown on the screen. The entertainment was iv aid of Child Welfare, and Miss Crichton-Imrie was thanked for lending the films and presented .with a bouquet of beautiful-, red roses. The great variety of scenery in the Dominion seems to astonish people in other parts, .and undoubtedly, adds greatly to the interest of a' programme. Some of the films were of child life in this country, while others . dealt with the weliaro work, and those, naturally, were of particular interest. The "Straits Echo," in- an editorial,- says: "The Child Welfare movement, was started in New Zealand, and has now spread throughout the world. The Public Health Service there is scientifically organised to save life. Malaya inj general and Penang 'in particular cannot do better than take a leaf out of tho New Zealand book." '
