THE CENTRE
(Paul Rotha-Films of Fact) HE name of Paul Rotha is familiar to all serious students of the cinema, and this half-hour feature by him describes the work of the Pioneer Health Centre at Peckham, an outstanding ex-
periment amongst community centres that has already been extensively written about. It is a kind of suburban club where the whole family can go during their leisure hours to meet their friends and indulge in their favourite recreations under the watchful eyes of two social biologists, Drs. Scott Williamson and Inries H. Pearse. The film traces what happens to a typical family who join the Centre, and in the accuracy and restraint with which it handles its subject is an unusually good example of the documentary method.
