Owing to the fact that ships are continually on the move, anci are widely scattered, the problem of flim distribution la enormous. It is one thing to be able to arrange a pro- gramme for a cinema show in Bir- mingham and another thing to ar- range for a programme on board H.M.S. Birmingham, which may be at Singapore one week and at Tsing- tau, 4,000 miles away, the following week.

-To overcome these problems it has been necessary to establish Alm "libraries" at various points through- out the world and to divide the Navy into four "circuits,"

FILMS TO BE SHOWN The whole of the organisation of this distribution is in the hand of the Royal Naval Film Corporation, and the charge of less than 2d. per head per week will not only cover the cost of flims, but the cost of freight and Insurance.

In spite of every effort to provide good films for the Fleet, It has pre- viously been impossible to circulate up-to-date pictures owing to financial limitations.

Under the new scheme, with the generous help afforded by the dis- tributors, such films as "The Drum," "Sixty Glorious

Years,

"The Citadel," and "It's in the Air" are already on their way to the outlying units of the Royal Navy.

It fact, there will shortly be nearly 200 films on the high seas on their

way to ships and squadrons.
