“THE BUSH CINDERELLA”
AT STRAND ON FRIDAY Another outstanding day in the history of the Strand Theatre—and in the history of the film industry in New Zealand —will be Friday next, when “The Bush Cinderella,” Rudall Hayward’s latest New Zealand-made production, will have its first New Zealand presentation. “The Bush Cinderella” is a charming picture of the peaceful New Zealand countryside, and the life of a typical backblock settler. Action it has in plenty, a ride for life on the African veldt, a battle royal between the crew of the s.s. Tekoa and a chosen band of bulldog bluejackets from the New Zealand Navy, being but two of the high-lights, while there is a mystery that holds you absorbed until its final thread is unravelled. This is made even more thrilling by its beautiful Auckland settings—for Mr. Hayward has again lived up to his reputation and has produced a film which, for beauty alone, makes it an outstanding one. Miss Dale Austen, New Zealand’s first film star, plavs the principal role that of Cinderella, a little country orphan. The story is appealing and original, dealing as it does with the love of the beautiful orphan for a handsome young naval officer, a role excellently played bv Mr. Cecil Scott.
