POLLARD’S PICTURES. “ON OUll SELECTION.” Reviewing Raymond Longford’s sev-en-rell (7500 ft) picturisation of Steele Rudd’s famous book “On Out Selection,” which is to be screened 'at the Princess Theatre on Monday the Sydney “Morning Herald” says: “Mr E.. J. Carroll is to bo congratulated on the wonderfully successful film dramatisation of Steele Rudd’s famous book “On Our Selection.” At both the afternoon and evening performances the Olympia was packed by most enthusiastic audiences, and every now and then the constant simmer of merriment pcrvadr ing the house exploded in prolonged roars of laughter, a,t the irresistibly funny developments. The opening fgeenes show Mum and the rest of the family leading town to join Had and tlio two boys on the eight acres, the former has selected. The bolting of the grey horse with Dad . and Dave in the cart is most realistically finished by their precipitation into a waterhole, and this event more than anything emphasises the care that has been taken with the production of the picture. A pretty love interest is given to the film in the wooing of Kate, Dad and Mum’s eldest girl, by a neighbouring settler. The box plan iff at Mclntosh’s.
