N.Z. Film a Remarkable Success in Australia

"ROMANTIC NEW ZEALAND," the full-length scenic and industrial film produced by Filmeraft, Ltd., in conjunction with the Government Tourist Department, is having a most successful run throughout Australia. Enthusiastic reports have been received from the manager of the St. James Theatre, Brisbane, where, con‘trary to usual practice with similar films, the audience applauded vigorously. At this theatre the associate

film was ‘Blossom Time." An equally attractive combination has been secured for Sydney, where "Romantic New Zealand" is booked to begin screeninz on February 1, in conjunction with "Jew Suss," at the new Hmbassy Theatre, claimed to be Sydney’s best. Mr, L, J. Schmitt, N.Z. Tourist Commissioner in Australia, reports that he is finalising arrangements to screen the film at the Plaza Theatre, Melbourne, a little later.. . It ig gratifying to find such success attending the first major film produced in the Dominion. Re-edited, and with -a considerable amount of completely new material and. entirely fresh dialogue, the version for Great Britain ig now almost completed.
