THERE will be a fascinating event at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery on Tuesday when well-known local resident Roy Haggar will present a talk on early motion pictures in Wales.

Mr. Haggar, a retired teacher at Greenhill School, is the great grandson of William Haggar, who was one of the pioneers of the British film industry. Many local people will also remember the Haggar's cinema in Main Street, Pembroke.

William spent much of his life in Pembrokeshire, particularly in Milford and Llangwm, where he made one of his early moving pictures, 'The Invasion of the French'.

He often used his sons, Walter and William Jr., in his films and when they were not appearing in front of the screen they would tour the country's theatres doing shows, whilst William travelled around the fairs showing the films.

Entitled 'William Haggar, Film Maker', the talk will provide a fascinating insight into a medium in which many of us have an interest and will offer glimpses into the life of one of movies' local pioneers.

The talk, which has free admission, starts at 2.30 pm and there will also be an accompanying video presentation.
