Rapid Progress with Wells Film

FIRST SETS SHOT

For several months preliminary work on the film "Whither Man-| kind?"! adapted by H. G.. Wells from his book "The Shape of Things to Come," has been pro- ceeding at Elstree, This month the unit will move to the Warton Hall Studios, Isleworth, which' London Film Productions have

ronted while tholé now studios are being erected.

Tho film "Whither Mankind?" calls for a large amount of special photography and effects, Intricate models, and imaginative construc- tional problems, most of which work was quite unknown in this .country before this production. Special carpenters' and plasterers' shops, projection apparatus, und a foundry had to be built, and 38- sistants trained in this technique by Ned Mann, the Hollywood special effects axpert, bolore any actual shooting could be done. Elfects unknown even in American studios have been perfected, It is stated, and will be used for the first time in this film.

J

It will result in a small band of experts being available to British studios who have been trained in this new branch of the motion picture industry.
