In one at Seaford there was a girl—a sister of Thorpe Bates—in the company. The girl is known now as Mrs. Leonard Henry. ' Whenever I was in London I used to buy a bob seat in the gallery and watch the " Follies " with awe and reverence.' In 1913 he and his father started their own concert party, the ' Mountebanks '. It ran all through the war, lasted for twenty years, and toured all over the country. In 1925 he was at the Prince of Wales Theatre, London, in Chariot's Revue, and he appeared with Beatrice Lillie and Gertrude Lawrence in the first midnight matinee ever given in this country. On September 29, 1926, he made his radio d£but as compere in a Variety show. During the next two years he broadcast in shows like ' Chariot's Hour' and Leonard Henry is evidently ' The Radio Follies' (of both of which delighted with this caricature- he was producer and part-author). But model of himself he was given no solo broadcast, and nobody took very much notice of his performances.

By a ' nature film ' I mean the •World of Women' television expression by means of moving pictures series on Monday of an idea about some natural subject, so as to make a complete and artistic whole. Now, the essence of a film is move• ment, and film movement demands change of scene almost as much as it requires action on the part of its subject. A moving object viewed for a long time from the same position loses its dynamic force. This explains why some nature films, made by scientists, seem tedious. There is movement in the picture, but no variety of scene to give film movement. The film-goer expects to look from below or from round the corner, to be first near-to and then far-off. So in a well- made nature film the scenes, though they show a continuity of action, are varied. In the film Nursery Island, taken this spring in the Fame Islands, there are over two hundred scene changes in seventeen minutes. Such variety is, of course, difficult to get, for movement on

Mary Field takes a preliminary look at a new film in the cutting-room the part of the cinematographer might easily scare away a shy subject. So the camera comes to the film-maker's aid, and a battery of lenses helps to give the necessary changes of scene. Telescopic lenses vary pictures of birds and animals, apparently bringing them close to the camera, while microscopic lenses give different magnifications and lend variety to films of insects and of plant life. Makers of nature films need to remember that many of the public are A remarkable shot from the film ' Roots '.

A golden rule for making nature films is tliis : always start with the familiar, and never let members of your audience feel that they have strayed from the paths of their ordinary experience. The film Rock Pools, which is just being released, deals with microscopic salt-water life; but the audi• ence is always being reminded of the familiar appearance of the sea-shore at low tide, so the microscopic scenes of the film remain seaside pictures, not remote laboratory studies.

I have spent a good deal of time among natives, and in some cases the only means of communication has been by mime. Consequently I have had to rely on my hands to convey my meaning and I find that I can express myself much more clearly this way. There is to me something awe-inspiring in sitting in a soundproof studio with only a small piece of mechanism as a companion. Whereas, in television, people are around you all the time and although they do not con• stitute your audience and probably are not taking the slightest notice of you, their mere presence brings a human element into play which subconsciously gives me moral support. Another useful point is that you can show objects about which you are talking. I have in mind an Esquimo sealing-club given me in Alaska. To describe it would be a long and tedious affair.
