Lord Blediriloe said her Excellency was in accord wiith him, and they wanted to ask all right-minded people to .see that the public demand was for a wholesome .form of entertainment. In New Zealand if 'the publi th'-ough their representatives made th'i' - •wishes known, there would be no lack of response by British producers and otl'iers to turn out good film*, far mere interesting, exciting and adventurous, but less dangerous.
