Films That Actually Received The Axe In Australia

HONDO

            Story from an Australian newspaper dated 13-11-1931. Thought a necessity to action in 1931 but sad to think about today. I  believe the majority of those Paramount silent films destroyed no longer exist. Some of the films most likely  included  in the destruction appear above.

Highly flammable. I remember seeing a film/scene where someone tried to get on a Double Decker bus with them and the conductor said 'you can't bring those on the bus' as if it was known to be illegal.

Anyone remember the film?

My grandparents founded a portrait studio in 1906, and my parents took it over in the 1950s.  The negative archives were stored in metal file cabinets in the basement.  One evening when I was quite young a small cabinet that contained nitrate negatives spontaneously combusted.  Fortunately it occurred while the place was still open and the fire was put out with a heavy coated tarp.  The next day all the old nitrate negatives were removed and destroyed.
