Scott’s Arrival Shown in London Cinema Two Days After Landing

N Tuesday afternoon of last week Scott landed in Melbourne on his record-breaking flight. On Thursday afternoon -two days later-a film of his reception at Flemington was shown to audiences in a London cinema! This news was contained in a cable received in Wellington from the Gaumont-British Picture Corporation in England at the weekend. The Gaumont cameramen were at Flemington when Scott arrived; a recording was made of his speech, a film was made of his reception and the whole thing was sent to London by a "‘telephoto" process a few hours afterwards. Assistance was given in Australia by Amalgamated Wireless, the whole scheme. constituting just as much of a record as the flight itself. :
