AUSTRALIAN FILM.

Mr. Beaumont Smith's Plans.

The Cinesound studios at Rushcutter Bay will be the scene of another venture in film production. In the near future Mr Beaumont Smith will commence work on his first talking

picture "The Hayseeds." Mr. Beaumont Smith has produced a number of silent pictures. In "The Hayseeds" he will introduce many novel features in the way of musical backgrounds and ballet ensembles. Mr Raymond Longford will direct the film and prominent Aus-trallan actors will play the leading roles. The country in and around Picton will be the scene of many outdoor shots. Sydney will be used for some of the backgrounds. British Empire Films will release the picture.
