Dealer Notes
The Missionary Film Committee was a joint project initiated by several British missionary groups, including the Church Missionary Society and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. Humfrey, a cinematographer, visited the two countries to provide material for the first missionary film. The booklet records his journey, and the postcards and programme were presumably distributed at screenings.
