Amusing Amateur movie by Frank Morross have you Ever heard Miracle pictures Well neither had we until last Friday night when we were invited Down to the Maryborough hotel to see the premiere showing of Pioneer Daze. Miracle pictures we hasten to add is composed of employees of Brigden of Winni Peg and the slogan of this Delight fully informal producing unit is if it s a Good picture it s a Miracle. Well Pioneer Daze is All about building the first Railroad Between Winnipeg and Vancouver. It has no More regard for history than Cecil b. Demille but it is not nearly so grandiose about it which is something to be thankful for. Pioneer Daze is the second brain wave of Miracle its first Effort was Nellie the Model and this production was shown again Friday night by popular request. Both films were made in color and although Nellie is not nearly so Workmanlike in construction As Pioneer Daze she is much funnier largely because one of the old Mack Sennett Chase Type of sequences is been worked in.

Rochester Richardson Christiane Chrisline Aubrey Adams Etc.

It would be a Fine idea for other Winnipeg groups to get together and make Amateur movies.
