The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-11


 comfort without running the risk of being crushed or without having to pay a ridiculous price for a hard seat on a rough plank is impossible, but for tunately anybody will be able to see the whoie thing for six pence a few hours later in any of the cinematograph the atres.
 Representatives of all the leading film producers in the world have al | ready purchased sites the route from which to photograph the Royal procession on its way from Bucking ham Palace to Westminster Abbey. An attempt will also be made to exhibit :he films in Liverpool. Sheffield. Leeds, Bristol and Birmingham at the evening | performances.
 Hundreds of operators will arrive | from Paris and Berlin, and will take up their stands at advantageous positions. As their ma jesties leave the palace about noon, it is hoped there will be time to catch the 2:20 boat train from Charing Cross, when the films will be developed en route.
 Each camera will be attended by an assistant, who will convey the undevel- opeo films by automobiles to headquar- ters, where everything will be in read mess for the development and com pietion of the picture. In this way, the various sections of the picture will be taken, and, when joined, they will measure in some instances several thousand feet in length.
 Large export orders have been re- oeived by the various English manufac- turers, who will dispatch the films to all parts of the globe by the first ves- sels leaving the country immediately after the ceremony
 Parisians may be able to see the pictures as early as we here in London, for an invention has just been made by which 1t is possible to transmit cinematograph pictures by wire and the first practical test of it is to be made on coronation day.
 An attempt will be made to transmit views of the great event from London to Paris and if it is successfully accom-. plished. the films will be exhibited at the Parisian picture theatres a few hours later.
 The inventor of the "cine-telegraph,' as it is termed, has been 10 years completing his apparatus, and has now succeeded in transmitting overland a film 200 feet in length over a distance of 30 miles.
 The coronation films, which it is the inventors intention to send by means of his apparatus, vii show the prog ress of the Royal party from the Pal ace to the Abbey, but the actual crown
 
 Mir .Grahame White has undertak en q contract to deliver films of the coro- nation procession by aeroplane to Bir- mingham. Bristol, and Rugby, Imme- d.ately after the films have been taken. they will be developed and placed ii, aeroplanes at the Hendon aviation grounds, whence they will be trans ported by MT. White and his airmen to the various provincial towns. Thus the pictures will be exhibited in differ ent parts of the country before the procession has actually returned to Buckingham palace.
 It Is characteristic of the modern clergy that, while everybody else is CO operating harmoniously to make the coronation a national festival, during which all tomahawks. political or per sonal, are buried ministers of the Church of England are squablings and there Is 8 great turmoil in religious circles.
 The bishop of Hereford, one of the most liberal and open minded prelates in England, recently put forward a suggestion for allowing nonconformists f to attend a celebration of the holy communion during coronation week It goes without saying that the fat was in the fire at once. All the pretty little spitfires and nuisances of that 1 old but somewhat mouldy institution | the Chuch of England arose and f,ri- ously denounced the reverend gentle man, who in many ways reminds me iof the late Bishop Henry c.
