Synopsis

Curator’s notes
In 1931, Melbourne-based Herschells Films joined with the Australian Herald newspaper to form Australian Sound Films. The company had produced the Herald Newsreel for less than a year when it was absorbed by Cinesound in 1932 and became the Herald Cinesound News Review (and later the Cinesound Review).
