MARY FIELD and F. PERCY SMITH
This evening's talk will be in the nature of a discussion between Mary Field and Percy Smith on screening plants. They will discuss the films they have actually in hand, and the progress this development has made since those early days when Percy Smith first put living plants on the screen.
Ten years ago Mary Field, with Bruce Woolfe , presented ' Secrets of Nature ' and bought all the negatives Percy Smith could supply. Today, as Director of Gaumont-British Instructional, she is still doing the same.
Percy Smith , then, will talk from the standpoint of the originator of the process thirty years ago and Mary Field from the point of view of one who has presented nature films for the last ten years, her purpose still being the making of ' interest' films for the general public.
