Porter pulls trolley past at right; heroic individuals, lots of women. It is quite frightening as the train arrives. Locomotive at slight angle. The first of the various Lumière films known as L'Arrivée d'un train en gare was photographed in 1895 or early 1896. According to Martin Loiperdinger’s essay 'Lumiere's Arrival of the Train: Cinema's Founding Myth' (in The Moving Image: The Journal of the Association of Moving Image Archivists, Vol. 4, No. 1, Spring 2004, pp. 89-118 [p.101]), this film was not among those shown at the Lumières' first public screening in Paris, on 28 December 1895, at the Grand Café in the Boulevard des Capucines. The first mention of such a film, described as L'arrivée d'un train en gare d'un chemin de fer, dates from 26 January 1896 and the film has not yet (September 2008) been identified. Several Lumière films of train arrivals are known to have been photographed with static cameras placed on station platforms, including Lumière catalogue no. 653, L'Arrivée d'un train en gare à la Ciotat, which is conventionally dated 1897, or possibly late 1896. The BFI's film matches Loiperdinger's description of no.653. It is described in a note in the BFI’s film and television database as follows: “ARRIVÉE D'UN TRAIN À LA CIOTAT - the arrival of a train at La Ciotat showing embarking and disembarking passengers. Among those seen on the platform are Madeleine Koehler, Marcel Koehler, Jeanne-Joséphine Lumière, Marguerite Lumière, Rose Lumière and Suzanne Lumière. Note: This is number 653 in the Lumière catalogue, which dates it as around 1897, or possibly late 1896. It is not the film shown at the first Lumière screenings of early 1896 showing the arrival of a train; that was either an earlier version of this film or ARRIVÉE D'UN TRAIN EN GARE (no. 8 in the catalogue).” Loiperdinger mentions two other catalogued Lumière train arrivals, no.8 (at Villefranche-sur-Saône) and no.127 (at Lyon), and that three versions of L'Arrivée d'un train à la Ciotat are known to have existed, of which no.653 is the latest. The film of a train arriving at La Ciotat which can be viewed on many internet sites captioned as Lumière no.653 is not the film described by the BFI and Loiperdinger (there are, for instance, no female Lumière family members on the platform). This film appears to have been copied from a commercially or otherwise available video or DVD. Although Loiperdinger concludes that L'Arrivée d'un train en gare probably did not disconcert audiences to anything like the extent suggested by 'cinema's founding myth', the film is nonetheless slightly unsettling. The camera is perhaps nearer to the edge of the platform than in similar films, and the approaching locomotive leans towards it, as if it might topple and crush the cinematographer."

SIFT refers to sound version 'Civilisation of Africa'. Film viewed refers to inauguration of Congo section of Benguela Railway in 1931, so perhaps the catalogue date is inaccurate. Includes some material (edited to reverse direction of journey) from 'The Benguela Railway'. Reel 1 (43609AD) 'A 6,000 mile trip by RAIL, CAR and RIVER along the route of Rhodes's dream'; Africa one fifth world’s land area; Rhodes: ‘Up in the hills behind the house, stands a noble granite sculpture to perpetuate the memory of the great Empire Builder’; inscription: ‘The immense and brooding spirit / still shall quicken and control / Living he was the land and dead / his soul shall be her soul’; Union Express to Lobito Bay; Kimberley; Wesselton mine; Johannesburg – gold; Vryburg – capital of Bechuanaland, 774 miles from Cape Town; Williams prospected ‘Rhodesia’ and reported need to build a railway to Beira; Bulawayo – 1360 miles to Cape Town; Rhodes statue; ‘Rhodes’ original intention was that the Cape-Cairo line should pass through the Belgian Congo, but, failing to come to terms with King Leopold, he decided to work east via Lake Tanganyika’ (1086ft); map – N’Tenke, Elizabethville [Lumumbashi], west to Lobito Bay – the Benguela Railway, north to Stanleyville [Kisangani]; ‘However in 1899, Williams, having been successful in negotiating a concession with King Leopold in the Belgian Congo, sent out an expedition under the leadership of the late George Grey to prospect this concession and also, those granted him by Rhodes, in Northern Rhodesia. This expedition discovered the rich copper deposits of Kansanshi and located the vast mineral belt in Katanga’; ‘These discoveries, together with the fact that Germany had blocked Rhodes’ All Red Route via Lake Tanganyika, decided him to revert to his original Cape-Cairo scheme. Rhodes, realizing that Williams had succeeded with King Leopold, whereas he himself had failed, besought him to try and negotiate a rail concession with that monarch, through the Congo’; ‘In this he was successful, obtaining permission to extend the line from the Rhodesian frontier to Mahagi on the Nile, and Williams offered Rhodes half his minerals to assist him to finance it’; ‘In spite if these efforts, the onerous demands of Rhodes’ financiers caused the scheme to fall through, and the Belgians decided to build their section of the Cape route themselves’; ‘In 1902, Cecil Rhodes died in a cottage by the sea, at Muizenberg’; diagram – Lobito Bay, boat, ship etc., take ship back to Cape Town, ‘1600 miles further south (four days) we reach the Cape . . .’; Adderley Street; Rhodes grave; ‘Shortly before Rhodes died, Robert Williams promised he would carry on his great project Northwards from Bulawayo’; ‘At this point, railhead was nearly 1000 miles from the Congo border. It was evident that finance would fail to build this section, so Williams, anxious to secure an economic rail outlet to develop the Kansanshi mine and the rich concession, granted him in Katanga by King Leopold, secured the right and commenced to build – in 1902 – the Benguela Railway from Lobito Bay on the West Coast, with a promise from that Monarch, to co-operate by building the extension through the Congo to join the Cape-Cairo Railway’; ‘The Benguela Railway was first intended to pass through Northern Rhodesia, to the Kansanshi mine, on its way to the Congo. Subsequently however, it was built direct, the right, to construct a branch line into Northern Rhodesia, being retained’; ‘The mineral wealth ahead, in Northern Rhodesia and the Congo, ultimately paved the way for the Cape-Cairo line’s progress from Bulawayo towards the 4th mineral “milestone”’; ‘The first objective was the Wankie coal-field, 200 miles northwards. These mines produce nearly 2,000,000 tons of coal per annum’. End of reel 1 (1522ft).

They may be termed another mineral ‘milestone’ on the way North’; another shot of town; ‘Now only 132 miles from the border of the Congo, progress was baulked by further financial difficulties. Since the Benguela Railway route was not yet completed, this was holding up the development of the next mineral ‘milestone’ – the Kansanshi minefield and the rich copper belt in Katanga’; ‘Robert Williams, remembering his promise to Rhodes, in spite of many difficulties, arranged the necessary finance. The line reached the Congo border at Sakania in 1909 and was linked up by the Belgians with Elizabethville [Lumumbashi] – the heart of the Katanga copper belt’; map; ‘The Kansanshi mine will perhaps be found to be the richest, in copper and gold ore, in Northern Rhodesia’; ‘On the hill, are the old native workings’; 2 shots, one old, one new (not very far advanced); ‘Crossing the border into the Belgian Congo, we come to Elizabethville, a partly laid out town of rapidly expanding importance and the headquarters of the Katanga copper industry’; 2 shots of town; ‘The huge mining plants along the Katanga mineral belt – the richest in the world – work day and night’; brief shot; ‘The town, from a transport point of view, is destined to become the greatest railway junction in Africa; lines already converge there from all points of the compass’; ‘The station building’; brief shot (photograph); ‘150 miles north of Elizabethville, we arrive at N’tenke, a point of exceptional importance, being the junction of the newly completed section of the Benguela Railway system, forming another great rib line, running from Lobito Bay, the finest harbour in Africa – the Great Western Gate into almost all parts of the continent’; map - shot (photograph) - map; ‘This magnificent enterprise, for which British material has entirely been used – bringing orders, running into millions of pounds, to British workshops – was carried out by Sir Robert Williams in collaboration with his Portuguese and Belgian colleagues and must have far-reaching economic effects, since it reduces the journey from Europe to districts of Central Africa by several days’; map, detailed map of Benguela route through Angola; ‘Before we continue our journey Northwards from N’tenke Junction, let us make a diversion along the Benguela Railway and see for ourselves what this enterprise has done for agriculture alone, in this fertile country through which the line passes on its way to Lobito Bay on the West Coast’; ‘Leaving the Cape-Cairo line at N’tenke – 1,200 miles from Lobito Bay – we cross the Southern Congo and reach the Angola border at the River Luau.

I am grateful to Simon Brown for this information. Simon writes that ‘Quiribet became Hepworth's roving cameraman, driving round the UK making films, mostly moving scenics from the car. Only a couple of films mention the car specifically in the title, but certainly he filmed quite a few between May 1908 and December 1909, after which he stopped. He may have left Hepworth (although he was working for him the in 1920s).’ The details of Hepworth’s relationship with the Argyll company are not known. Argyll Motors was an early car maker whose production was at one time the largest in the UK, but was later frequently in financial difficulties (partly as a result of its investment in its factory in Alexandria, north of Glasgow), see http://www.scotiaweb.co.uk/argyll/argyll2.html etc. 1909 was the year of one of its relaunches, and Hepworth built a garage at about this time.

The City Architect's model for the central section of city is seen, and the idea of grouping shops, schools, industry and entertainment according to a rational and harmonious plan is expounded. There is much discussion in the film, including a defence, in popular style, of prefabricated houses such as the city's own factories could produce.’ (Frances Thorpe, Nicholas Pronay: British Official Films in the Second World War, A Descriptive Catalogue (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California: Clio Press, 1980) ISBN 0 903450-27-5, p.167.) This dramatised discussion of the plan for the reconstruction of Coventry show-cased Donald Gibson's bold and controversial plans for the city's redevelopment. The aim of the film was to encourage popular interest in planning by the general public. It promotes town planning as a political process which should be open and democratic, involving Coventarians as much as possible (Imperial War Museum)."

Train passes wall and telegraph poles, through castle arches, railway yard and then through arch to station, bridge, tunnel, bridge and cutting beyond. An intertitle in Charles Urban’s ‘The Old Mauretania’ suggests that the Euston-Holyhead railway was part of a regular transatlantic route, which is perhaps why it was a subject of particular interest to film producers. Biograph made three early films on the route, the others being ‘Irish Mail – L & NW Railway – Taking Up Water at Full Speed’ (1898) and ‘Menai Bridge – The Irish Day Mail from Euston Entering the Tubular Bridge Over the Menai Straits’ (1898). The film is said to be the first ‘phantom ride’ photographed in the UK, though this would exclude Promio’s 1897 railway panoramas for Lumière (not forward-facing, so not ‘phantom rides’ in the strict sense of the term) and Peter Feathers’ Railway Ride over the Tay Bridge, the date of which is widely published as 1897."

Location given as 620025A, but viewed in 'Victorian Cinema 6 – Other British' (46991A). The ‘Munster’, a two funnel steamboat, comes alongside quay and ties up, gangplanks installed. The film is generally believed to show the ‘Munster’ arriving at Holyhead, but after a screening, a member of the audience who had often travelled on this route reported that the film is location is Dun Laoghaire (Kingstown). I have not yet had the opportunity to check, but looking at photographs of both ports, and at maps, I am inclined to think that it is Dun Laoghaire. The jetty visible is made of timber boards, whereas at Holyhead the dockside was masonry. The view of the approach, also, more resembles that at Dun Laoghaire. The Holyhead Mailboat would more probably be a name given in Ireland to the mailboat from Holyhead. In Holyhead, it would perhaps be known as the Kingstown, or Irish, mailboat. On the other hand, Cheetham was active in Wales. The boat was relatively new, and was still in service during World War I.

The eastern slipway was occupied by a Japanese warship, the ‘Shikishima’, next to which was a temporary slipway bridge. Despite warnings, some of the many spectators had crowded onto this structure and it collapsed when the bow wave reached it. 38 people were killed, some of them women and children. Paul and his camera were on a boat, and rescued some of the survivors. Another surviving film of the event was by Prestwich (see note above) which did not show anything of the accident. Birt Acres was also present, but ‘suppressed’ his film (which apparently did) out of respect for the victims and criticised Paul for continuing to film and showing the result. In response to this and other criticism, Paul countered that the camera had ‘continued photographing, but no consideration of the result was allowed to interfere with the work of rescue’. ‘The Photogram’ added that Paul’s camera was electrically driven, and that the film had been screened to raise money for the relief fund. The recently restored film is somewhat confusing: it begins with a close-up of what appears to be the bow of a ship in the water, pointing to the right, the camera moving to the left. The opposite bank is visible in the distance at the start, to 2ft; cut to stern (the ship does seem to be ‘HMS Albion’) same orientation and movement, crowd on bank behind revealed as stern passes, to c14.5ft; ship, seems stationary, cables, single storey building alongside quay, house or similar at left; cable from stern to left – possibly in next shot seen from the other side; cut to c.u. of woman in hat and white blouse on same boat as camera, very fast, the camera looking slightly to rear of sideways, 2 steamers are passed left to right (‘Cambria’, white paddle housing, a tug with a thick cable, taut behind, then ‘Victoria’, white paddle housing, perhaps also a tug, structure at rear, but no cable behind) in middle distance, lots of people on each, Thames Ironworks office behind, people on roof at west end (perhaps also on top of tower), men in rowing boat, 2 more rowing boats, another steamer at right, all this downstream of the launch and the ‘Shikishima’, a big tripod crane (downstream of the office building) is in the shot, ends at c42.5ft; cut to the launch itself, seen from upstream with boats (as seen in the Prestwich film?), lots of boat action in fore and middle ground, woman in hat, others on board, to 57ft; cut to shore, many people getting into rowing boats beneath wooden structure above, man gesticulates at camera, to 71ft; cut to similar, to 72ft; cut to similar, move away from the shore a little, ends at c81.5ft. Perhaps these boats are those seen in the third shot, but they are arriving, not leaving, and the people don’t look as if they’ve been rescued. Perhaps the shots are not in chronological order. None appears to show the accident or people in difficulties, though there is a sense of urgency. See also note for Prestwich’s ‘The Launch of “HMS Albion” at Blackwall’.

Launch of HMS 'Albion' at Blackwall UK 1898 35mm 54 "London, Bow Creek, 21 June 1898, Prestwich Manufacturing Company: HMS ‘Albion’, a first-class cruiser launched diagonally from the western of the Thames Ironworks’ two slipways on Bow Creek, the mouth of the river Lea at Blackwall. A single take. The camera’s high viewpoint appears to have been the top of the tower at the west end of the Thames Ironworks General Office (demolished), downstream of the slipways on the east bank of Bow Creek overlooking the Thames. The eastern slipway (out of shot) was occupied by a Japanese warship, the ‘Shikishima’, next to which was a temporary slipway bridge. Despite warnings, some of the many spectators had crowded onto this structure, which collapsed when the bow wave reached it. 38 people were killed, some of them women and children. None of this is seen in Prestwich’s film, being to the right of what is a quite a tight frame (and perhaps behind the ‘Shikishima’, so not visible from the camera position). There is a 60mm film, also by Prestwich, photographed from the same viewpoint, in the collection of the (UK’s) Science Museum. See also note below for R W Paul’s ‘The Launch of “HMS Albion” (1898)’.

Notes from National Film and Sound Archive’s australianscreen site at http://australianscreen.com.au/titles/operation-buffalo/ at which clips can be viewed and/or downloaded Synopsis: Operation Buffalo was the testing of four nuclear fission bombs at Maralinga in South Australia on 27 September 1956. This film is the official recording of the operation. It contains the mute raw footage of each of the explosions, shot from up to four viewing positions by high-speed Vinten HS 300 cameras and normal-speed Éclair Cameflex cameras. The four fission bombs were codenamed One Tree, Marcoo, Kite and Breakaway. One Tree and Breakaway were tower explosions, Marcoo was a ground explosion and Kite was an air-burst over land. Curator’s notes: Between 1952 and 1963 the British Government, in cooperation with Australia, carried out nuclear tests at three sites in Australia. In 1954 the British requested that one of the sites, Maralinga (in western South Australia), be developed as a joint facility with shared funding arrangements and become the permanent proving ground site. After its completion in 1956 the Maralinga facility was the location of all trials conducted in Australia. Between 27 September and 22 October 1956, Operation Buffalo was carried out. In 1957, the then Prime Minister of Britain, Harold Macmillan, declared that the tests would place Britain on an equal nuclear footing with the USA and the Soviet Union."

Pemberton Billing was elected as the independent MP for East Hertfordshire in 1916. He founded a journal Imperialist, (soon renamed Vigilante) in which on 26 January 1918 he published an article asserting the existence of a ‘Black Book’ containing the names of 47,000 English men and women who were allegedly homosexuals. German agents, it said, were exploiting these 47,000 to ‘propogate evils which all decent men thought had perished in Sodom and Lesbia’ (sic). The first issue of the Vigilante suggested that those attending private performances of ‘Salome’ (still forbidden by the Lord Chamberlain) were among the 47,000. Pemberton Billing was sued, unsuccessfully, for libel. The son of a Birmingham ironfounder, in 1913 he had founded a Southampton aircraft manufacturing company, with Hubert Scott-Paine as manager. This subsequently became Supermarine, which later produced the Spitfire. Pemberton Billing had resigned from the company in 1915.
