asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he has any statement to make on the success or otherwise of the films shown in the British Pavilion at the New York World Fair?

Seven daily programmes are now being given, and the theatre is filled to capacity at practically all performances, the films being received with enthusiasm.
