A Gift from the Film Industry

THE Federation of British Industries has sent to the Institution a cheque for £817 2s. 10d., being half the net proceeds of the Gala Presentation of British films on 5th November of last year, which was arranged for the benefit of the Dominion Premiers by the film-makers' group of the Federation. The other half of the pro- ceeds were presented to the Cinemato- graph Trade Benevolent Fund. The Federation of British Industries in- formed the Institution that it had been chosen to share in this performance as being " a great Institution, whose ser- vices benefit all sea-going people regard- less of nationality.".
