The substance of this article shows that patriotic themes where popular in this era, with a simultaneous showing of a newsreel recording the King and Queen's visit to India. It shows that Australians were interested enough in the Royal family to make this sort of news popular enough to be seen in many film houses at the same time. Suggests that Australians felt themselves to be a definite part of the British Empire in this era leading up to the war.
Also interesting to note the way the images are described as being "thrown on the screen". This term also appears in another news item so it seems likely that this was the term used for projecting a film at this time. |
