Vigorous Reply to Boycott Threat
WRONG CAMPAIGN
Mr. Adrian Brunel, the well- known film director, has made the following statement:-
"The Very Rev. Canon Palmeri calls upon churchgoors to boycott the cinema until films are so bowdlerised that they will conspi to attract to their prosent extent.
"I would hesitate to say that he wishes to bring the elnoma down to the same level of popular ap peal as that of so many churches to-day, because that would be rude. and unkind, and being a Christian I do try not to be rude and un- kind. Of course, if I were very reverend' I might feel differently; I might then join Canon Palmer's movement or even Herr Hitler's. If I were only just fairly re- verend. I might suggest retalia- tion; I might suggest that cinema- goers boycott the churches until their teachings were more ín accord with their Founder's. But only being an ordinary person, I suggest that Canon Palmer could employ his undoubted energy in a more Christian manner by cam-1 paigning against slums, arma- ments, aggressive nationallam, and the persecution of minorities: he might also do good work in distri buting copies of the Sermon on the Mount to people in coloured shirts."*

Many a Pekinese will foot it with the best of human pedestrians on a fifteen mile walk. A great point in their favour is that they are perhaps the longest lived of all breeds. It is not unusual to find a Peke "full of beans" at twenty- and this is equivalent to a hundred and forty years in a human being.
REFLECTION BY MIRRORS
NEW SYSTEM OF FILM PROJECTION
The little news theatre opened by British News Theatre, Limited, t Waterloo Station is using a system of film projection which is new to this country.
The new building, although high, has a small floor aren with seats the for just over 250 persons. The usand method of film presentation could not be adopted, because the image could not be thrown directly jon to the screen. The principle of the Innes Projection System, which Warners became impressed with John Galsworthy's "Forsyte has been installed, embodies the him when he was engaged for the Saga," which is to be made by reflection of the image-from-n male lead in "The Key," a picture Radio Pictures, with Katharine screen--which is not visible to Hepburn in the lead, will have an people in the auditorium-on to a
