Curator’s notes
Newsreels were an integral part of cinema programming in Australia before the advent of television in 1956. Issued on a weekly basis, the newsreels enabled people to further engage with local and national political stories and events.
In this newsreel, we see Pauline Frederick posing for the camera. It is an early example of the phenomenon of celebrity and the fascination Australians have had with American film actors.
