New Film Of Makogai

p. 37 · Read in the full issue

A RECENT visit was made to Makogai by Mr. Len Noerr and Mr. Charles Stinson, to make a colour photo graphic record of life on the famous leper island.

Mr. Noerr, recently retired from the management of the Suva Regal Theatre, hopes to travel extensively in New Zealand and Australia and intends to use the film to arouse interest in and raise funds for the leprosarium.

The cost of the film is being borne by Mr. Noerr—who has evinced an unflagging interest in the welfare of all at Makogai— and Mr. Charles Stinson gave his time and knowledge to the production.

Messrs. Noerr and Stinson were accorded a warm welcome by Dr. and Mrs. Austin and the good Sisters of Makogai.
