Dummy Mace is a 1901 New Zealand silent short film.
[1] Alf Linley offered Franklyn Barrett finance to produce a boxing picture.
[1] Barrett organised two boxers to stage a three one minute round boxing match on the back lawn of the Hotel Cecil.
[1] Although Macgregor was to give a knockout blow on cue in the third round, Mace who was deaf, had misunderstood the arrangement and actually knocked out Macgregor.
[1] The resultant film did very good business when subsequently shown in the Federal Hall theatre in Manners Street Wellington.
