C.nlon llark.T; Hon. .Sc.rctarv, Miss Laura Iluglics, Albert Villa, Culwyn Crescent, Rhos-on-Sea, N. Wales. Owing to the recent bad weather and the absence on holiday of various members of the cast, '■ Earth Has No Sorrow " has been temporarily shelved. Production is now proceeding apace on an as yet unnamed drama which is being directed jointly by James Malam and George E. Mellor. The former is also responsible for the photography, which, judging by the rushes already viewed, should be of a very high standard. Unfortunately the film is not expected to be completed in time for the 1933 contests, but the Society hope to submit it for consideration for the International Competition. " Contact " is now complete and has been entered in the " Sunday Referee " competition. George E. Mellor was responsible for both the direction and the editing and James Malam, of " Nightmare " fame, was behind the camera. The Society desire to e.xpress their appreciation of the great help given by The Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Light Railway Co., who placed an electric car and crew at the disposal of the unit during production. All the Society's productions are still available for hire and full particulars will gladly be forwarded by the Secretary on a()plication. RIVERSIDE FILM FANS. Hon. Secretary, Mrs. Gussman, 7 Norland Square, W.ll. The major activity of this year. " Once Aboard the Lugger," is now practically complete. It involved three days' work off f!anvey Island, with sailing yachts and motorboats, during which some smuggling was effected ; a day's work at Greenhithe, where some of the youngsters from a training .ship required nothing better on their free afternoon than to dress up as river police, capture the villain and throw him overboard ; a week-end up the river for a gardenparty, leading to the capture of the heroine ; and some interior work. For the last a cabin had to be built, emulating the style adopted in the famous railway carriage set in '■ Archie's Innings." RUGBY AMATEUR FILM SOCIETY. Hon. Secretary, D. Powell, 146 Murray Road, Rugby. The Society's part in the local Hospital Carnival and Rag consisted of the making of a 9.5mm. film of the procession and its projection later that same evening. Four cameras were used and the shooting took place between 2 p.m. and 4.15 -p.m. The complete film of 240 ft. was developed, dried, and rushed through the projectors by ().15 p.m. ; rough editing took another hour, and after a final viewing of the film it was publicly exhibited at 7.30 p.m. It may be mentioned that not a single shot was lost through processing or wrong exposure — ■ despite the bad weather. Half-hour houses were run until 9. .30 p.m. and the receipts — admission 4d., children 2d. — amounted to nearly £4. SAINT BENEDICT'S (EALING) AMATEUR CINE SOCIETY. Hon. Secretary, F. X.
