During his visits to New Zealand in quest of deep-sea sport, Mr. Zane Grey was able to secure a fine film record of th<S capture of swordfish and mako sharks.

Advice received by the Minister in Charge of Tourist and Publicity Departments (the Hon. I>. A. de la Perrelle) states that this special feature film, with sound and dialogue added, is now ready for release in the United States, Canada, England, and Europe Private screenings have already been given, and-those who have seen the film, have described it as of most absorbing interest.

Further pictures, which include unique scenes and fishing thrills at the Galapagos Islands, hunting in Mexico and Newfoundland, and at the Perlos Islands, are now being assembled, and will probably be shown in conjunction with the New Zealand film. Mr._ Grey states that he has incorporated m the picture some striking and unusual scenes taken by the Publicity Office cameramen at the Bay of Islands Mercury Bay, and Tauranga, which will serve to show the great range of nshmg waters available along the coastline of the Dominion. The release of the film is expected to prove a eood advertisement for New Zealand throughout the world.
