DUNKIRK EVACUATION
VIVID & IMPRESSIVE SCENES IN NEWS REEL. Vivid and impressive scenes showing the epic evacuation of British and French troops from Dunkirk are included in the latest news reel release screening at the State Theatre tonight. The film has just arrived in New Zealand by airmail and Masterton is fortunate in being one of the first places at which the reel is being shown in this country. A dark pall of smoke rising from Dunkirk, the setting out of auxiliary craft from Britain under the protection of the Navy, startling scenes of fighting in the air, in which a Messerschmitt is seen to_crash in flames, bombs sending up huge spouts of water around the boats and the taking off of soldiers from the beach are all shown in ihe film, which also includes scenes on the arrival of the men in England. Tired but resolute the men are seen landing on their native soil and receiving refreshments from willing helpers. Many French troops are also seen disembarking.
