LONDON NOTES

By The Air Mail

(From A Correspondent)

... London, Dec. 5. At the exhibition of the wedding presents for the Duke of Kent and Princess Marina at St. James's Palace I was interested to see the number of authors who had sent their own works as gifts.

Amateur Cinematography Lt. Col. J. T. C. Moore-Braba- son, who has just become chalk man of the council of the Institute of. Amateur Cinematographers, has the ploneering" spirit. He was a pioneer in the development of richlymotoring, and was the first Eng- fishman to fly in Engländ.

His interest in amateur cinema- tography dates back, he tells me, to Its earliest days. Films of his two soris when they were only three or

Most of the books were bound, but there were several in cloth covers with coloured jackets, Just as they are in the shops.

Lord Snowden's Autobiography Lord Snowden was represented by the two volumes of his auto-four years old were among his ear- blography, Lord Mottistone by a llest experimenta.. selection from his lively reminis- cent journals, Mr. Noel Coward by a handsome set of twenty volumes of his plays and other writings, Mr. John Buchan by the two volumes of the Cromwell biography.

Princess Marina's interest in art had prompted the choice of a num- ber of works on painting.

Some Mozart and Wagner vol- 38 st. unes also reflect the Duke of

Kent's fondness for music. ?

"What does that mean?" he ask. ed. Miss Stein, replied: "What you read is a perfectly simple de- seription of a Spanish landscape."

Amateur cinematography is be- coming increasingly popular. I hear that Miss Ishbel MacDonald is another devotee.
