From original issue sheet (no titles exist): "With this issue, the Pathe Super Gazette celebrates its first anniversary, and thanks to the support of the Owners and Patrons of this Cinema, it has been able to give, in each Edition, longer and more interesting pictures than hitherto possible of events of National and World Interest in any News-Film. The Pathe Super Gazette looks forward fortified by such support - to be able to do even better in the coming year. No expense will be spared - and every endeavour will be made to achieve further successes".
