AN X KTTK KF, Ll, F. 11M A X AT NELSON.

Deep interest is being taken by all with it love of tlie “movies” in tbe venture h"in<£ made in Nelson by tbe New Zealand Pinduetions Ltd. Though American cameramen have been in tlie Dominion before they have never yet produced it “star” film with the locale here. Previously their attentions have been occupied with taking glimpses of the natutal beauty in tbe North and South Islands. .Miss Annette Kellettnan ami her attend,ml iir'isis with all tbe paraphernalia necessary for tbe making of tbe picture have been in Nelson for a number of months now ami a brief outline of all that was Icing done wits given in these columns recently.

Mr Harry Waters, promoter and one ol tlie directors of tbe new company, ami malinger of Everybody’s Theatre, stated yesterday that the cnmci.nmeu, laboratory staff', submarine expert ami assistants were due to arrive at Wellington bv the Tahiti in tbe course ol a i|;iv or so. They would prince I straight to Nelson and active operations would commence right away. Ah' tbe wink done tip to tbe present was the arrangement of locations, sets, scenes and tbe like, and everything was in readiness for tlie cameraman to start work. Included in tbe “furniture” coming out were big "sun arcs” of an immense candle power and these would be used at night so that work won Id proceed continuously when necessary. It is interesting to note that these huge arcs were tbe ones used in the bolding of tbe recent Washington Conference.
