LOCH MONSTER Honourable Sir Thomas and Lady
FILMED
Cinema Company's Claim
Three Glasgow men, employees of Scottish Films Productions, claim to have filmed the Loch Ness monster, and their picture will be publicly exhibited in two Glasgow cinemas shortly.
They had spent a fortnight on the banks of Loch Ness and were just on the point of giving up when they noticed a commotion on the surface of the water. They immediately manned their three cameras and several shots the monster were obtained. Owing to the distance at which it arose, however. It appears on the film as a dark object moving quickly across the water.
The object is not very clearly defined, but the camera men have provided a contrast by showing a film of log floating on the sur- face of the water. They also pre- pared a módel, which they have fimed, and they challenge .com- parison with what they describe as "the genuine article."

Mr. Goodbody, who has travelled
over the world and who for a
time was chairman and now a
member of the Ness Fishing Dis- trict Board, had very grave doubts
as to the presence of a monster in the Loch. Indeed, he frankly sald:
I put it down to a Press pub- city stunt. I had often been on the Loch side and had never seen anything to warrant my believing in anything unusual being in the Loch, but now I can with cer- With so heavy and varied a pro-tainty say that there is an extra- gramme of match play in prospect, ordinary creature in the Loch
