PREFACE
This is a 'two year Supplement to the second edition of the
Educational Film Catalog. It is a cumulated number containing
all of the material of the 1940 annual Supplement and of the 1941
quarterly Supplements plus 140 new titles. For a complete file only
the second edition, published in 1939, and this volume, are now needed.
Necessary corrections in prices, etc. have been made and films with-
drawn from circulation by producrs have been withdrawn from this
catalog also. A list of these films is given on page ix.
Believing that much of the pamphlet material listed in the Book
Reviews for 1940 and 1941 were of ephemeral value those reviews
have not been cumulated. In the Book Reviews, however, reviews
and comments for 27 new books and pamphlets, have been given, be-
ginning on page ix.
The compilers and The H. W. Wilson Company again thank the
collaborators who have helped with advice and film reviewing. A list
of those who checked the lists and helped in many ways is given on
the following page.
Thanks are also due to the producers and distributors who have
been most cooperative in lending their films to us for our editorial pur-
poses and in keeping us well informed of their film activities.

"This bulletin is designed to help schools
teach conservation more effectively through one

"The evaluated film listings are especially
good because they indicate ways of using as
-well as the content of each film. In fact, for
each title mentioned there is practically a
teachers' guide to help in planning for its use."

"Manual for teachers and students interested
m producing amateur films." Subtitle
"Based ... on first-hand experiences in the
Greenwich High School and on the experiences
of many other teachers and movie-enthusiasts
with whom the authors have been in correspon-
dence. The handbook has been cleverly de-
signed to make each section stand out, and to
help the reader in finding information quickly. . .
The chapters are arranged as follows: Organi-
zation (of a Club), Choosing the Idea, The
Scenario, Buying Equipment, Using the Equip-
ment, Filming the Picture, Advanced Tech-
niques and Final Preparation and Showing.
Each chapter is followed by a series of ques-
tions and suggested activities that could be
used by a movie-making club or class. In all
chapters the language is simple and non-
technical. The final chapter is especially im-
portant, since we too often assume that once
a film has been completed our audience should
wax enthusiastic. Showmanship in the pub-
licizing of the film and during the actual show-
mg are very important. A glossary and bibliog-
raphy are appended to the volume. The index
IS especially good and is very complete. This
book will be a welcome one to those of us who
want movie-making explained in one-syllable
words." Educational screen

"The report is in three parts. Part I is a

into the selection and use of 16-mm motion
picture equipment for educational institutions.
It includes recommendations for such compara-
tive tests of equipment as can properly be
made without testing laboratory facilities Part
II IS a report on the optical characteristics of
the screens available at the present time for
non-theatrical projection. Part III consists of a
set of detailed technical specifications defining
acceptable performance of 16-mm projection
equipment for educational uses. The character
of these specifications is necessarily such that
they can be interpreted and applied only by a
fully equipped testing laboratory." Introduction

formative that it might be classed with the
'So You're Going to — ' books and so engagingly
intimate and detailed that it is very amusing
reading." N.Y. Times
"Does not tell the truth about Hollywood, it
does not debunk the many fan magazines and

the book is a valuable contribution to the
history of labor relations, labor policies, and
politics. The author is an instructor in econom-
ics at Brooklyn College. Recommended for

"The book is well written, with excellent
tables, and thoroughly explores the less glamor-
ous side of Hollywood, that of making a living.
Because Hollywood seems to have all the prob-
lems of labor and capital in concentrated form,
this book ."should prove most valuable to stu-
dents of labor problems." Springfield Republi-

ROSTEN, LEO C. Hollywood: the movie col-

court: $5 McLeod
"All the measurable facts seem to be here —
the size of the salaries, the cost of the parties.
the birthplaces and academic attainments of
the producers and enough other statistical
material to fill most of the pages of this bulky
volume and then call for 42 pages of appendixes
and 11 additional pages of reference notes. But
after all this imposing apparatus of scholarship
has been put into print, the reader is likely to
ask what he knows now of an important nature
which he did not know before." Christian
Century
"Mr. Rcsten has spent four years in Holly-
wood, under the auspices of the Carnegie and
the Rockefeller Foundation, collecting the
material for his book, and has produced a work
of wit, perception, and sociological interest. . .
Nowhere in this book, which he devotes mainly
to the aristocracy of the industry and its activ-
ities, is Mr. Rosten anything but a just critic
. . . The industry as a whole is bound to find
a great deal of useful information in the pages
of this penetrating analysis. For the non-
professional reader there is a mass of fascinat-
ing information. . . Is so witty, so accurate, and
so full of detailed statistics as to be ... a
social document of great significance." Nation
"Its measurement, documentation, cogent in-
sight and conclusions make it the best report
on Hollywood to date. Even leaving the eco-
nomics of movie making, censorship, the Hays
Office and labor problems to a future volume,
this book with last year's 'The Rise of the
American Film' by Lewis Jacobs provides a
complete background for an understanding of
the American position in the important art of
the cinema." Commonweal

This film treats the subject of the feeble-

It is intended primarily for students of
psychology and for public health groups,
social .service workers, and others who
come in contact with these cases in or-
dinary life and who could benefit by the
ability to recognize them. The introduc-
tion mentions briefly brain conditions caus-
ing feeblemindedness. A half reel sequence
on performance tests explains the classi-
fications of the feebleminded into morons,
imbeciles, and idiots. The main body of
the film is concerned with describing the
eight major pathological groups; hyperte-
lorism, oxycephalus, microcephaly, hydro-
cephalus, cretinism, mongolism, epilepsy
and cerebral palsy. Typical cases illustrate
the characteristics of each type. In such
groups as cerebral palsy encephalograms

Depicts the problem of Danny, a second-

ment and who is not doing well in his
school work. Although he has ability, he
is not interested. Scenes from his home
life show the conflicting attitudes of his
parents toward hini; episodes on the play-
ground and in the classroom show his
unpopularity and how the teacher tries
to bring him out. Conferences between
the teacher and his mother, and between
the teacher and the principal, throw
further light on the problem.
Intended to promote better understand-
ing of child behavior and of ways in which
it may be influenced. The film furnishes
an opportunity for parents, teachers, and
guidance workers to discuss the possible
meaning of certain behavior and how it
has come about

Professor Lemp, his four daughters, Aunt

a picnic. Felix and Ann, the youngest
daughter, are in love. Felix is writing a
musical composition which he is planning
to enter in a $5,000 contest sponsored by
the conservatory where both he and the
professor teach. Mickey Borden, whom
Felix has asked to come up from New
York to orchestrate the composition for
him, appears one morning just as Felix
is about to leave the Lemp house. Mickey
obviously comes from a different back-
ground and regards the Lemp home withs
its "rugs on the floor, the smell of cooking-
in the kitchen," with considerable cyni-
cism, . . Felix turns his score over to«
Mickey, and tells him to introduce him-
self to the family as they come in. But.
Mickey becomes absorbed in his musicali
problem and ignores Aunt Etta, when she-:
comes out of the kitchen to see who is.
playing the piano. Eventually, however.,
he accepts her offer of a cup of tea, paus-
ing to remind her that tea is only a little>
hot water and nothing to feel noble about.
When Ann comes home she strikes up a
conversation with Mickey, who receives
her friendly advances coldly. She asks
Mickey what he is playing. When he tells
her it is something of his own, Ann hopes
that he won't enter it in the contest they
all want Felix to win. Mickey is scornfuL
He tells her he couldn't win a prize if hft
were the only entry in the contest. "Th»
Fates, the Destinies, or whoever they are
who decide what we do and don't do, won't
stand for my winning." He elaborates
this theme with considerable bitterness. . .
Ann ventures a little of her own more
optimistic philosophy but Mickey laughs
her down. . . Ann takes an increasing in-
terest in Mickey. She puts up curtains in
his room, tries to get him to improve his
appearance. Mickey responds to her atten-
tions, finds himself falling in love. At the
professor's birthday party Mickey is touched
to find that Ann, to save him embarras.s-
ment, has bought a present from him to
her father. When Felix and Ann choose
the party as the moment to announce their
engagement Mickey is stunned by the
news. On her wedding day Ann finds
Mickey sitting on a park bench bitterly
cursing his fate. They have taken him
out of the gutter, shown him some real
people, let Ann get a "half-nelson" on his
heart and then — out in the cold again. He^
bids Ann goodbye and she leaves him

Professor Paul Ward, a science teacher,
strides into the school grounds just in time
to see a snowball crash through a window.
The snowball was thrown by Peter Trlm-
tull, son of the town's richest man. When
the professor asks Peter if his father will
tske the cost of repairing the window out
cf his allowance, Peter confidently answers,
"No." That afternoon Peter disrupts the
science class with practical jokes. Profes-
sor Ward calls him to the platform to an-
swer questions and is pleased and surprised
by his grasp of refrigeration, the subject
of the day's lesson. One day while Pro-
fessor Ward is working in his cellar lab-
oratory on an iceless icebox . . . his
daughter descends in a rage, demanding
to know why her father has taken Peter
Trimbull off the hockey team. She asks if
he realizes that he is punishing the whole
school for one boy. The professor replies
that perhaps now the school will think of
a way to punish Peter. The Ward's house-
keeper, who is standing nearby, suggests
that perhaps punishment is not what Peter
needs. She thinks he needs a hobby, or
the friendship of an older person. Some-
time later the professor brings Peter into
his laboratory to help him with his inven-
tion. "I have been thinking," he remarks,
"here is a brilliant science student. Why
waste his time on useless homework? Why
not interest him in my iceless icebox?"
The two shake hands over plans to col-
laborate. One day when Peter is working
alone in the laboratory, Peter Ellis, from
the town's hardware store, calls to deliver
a part for the icebox. Since the Professor
has made Peter promise never to let any-
one see the invention, he asks Ellis to wait
upstairs while he tries the part. But the
part doesn't fit and Peter asks Ellis for
help. Ellis takes this opportunity to look
over the professor's invention. Conscience-
stricken, Peter begs Ellis not to let any-
one know he has seen it, and Ellis promises
that he will not. When the professor ar-
rives soon after, he finds Ellis' lighted
cigarette on the table, Peter, panic-
stricken, tells the professor he is learn-
ing to smoke and denies that Ellis was in
the laboratory. With the invention suc-
cessfully completed, the professor files a
patent. A v,-eek later he learns that the
Ellis Brothers have filed a patent for the
same invention a M'eek before him. The
professor is bewildered, and turns to Peter
who is frightened and guilty. Slowly the
professor recalls the lighted cigarette.
Peter faced with the accusation, confesses.
The professor reproaches him angrily. If
Peter had told the truth the patent could
have been filed earlier. Overcome with re-
morse, Peter cannot even look at his friend

A sensitive young French musician
haunted by the face of a young German
musician whom he killed during the World
War of 1914-1918 goes to Germany to seek
out the young German's parents. The Ger-
man father tries to turn the French boy
out of the house. However, the dead
boy's mother and fiancee welcome the
Frenchman whom they have seen putting
flowers on their boy's grave. They assume
he has known the German in Paris, and he
finds himself accepted in the family as a
friend. In the town tavern the German
father meets his beer- drinking companions.
They greet him coldly because he is enter-
taining one of the "enemy" in his home.
The old man is roused into making a stir-
ring indictment of hate and war. Who
sent the boys out to die and cheered them
as they went? Who gave them bullets and
gas and bayonets. "We, the fathers — here
and on the other side. We are too old to
fight, but not too old to hate. . . We are
responsible." As the old German prepares
to leave the tavern, he is stopped by a
young German who had lost his leg in the
war. They shake hands, and the old man
says bitterly: "I stood outside this hotel
when my son marched away. He was
gomg to his death . . . and I cheered!"

"Unique and fascinating satire of war
as seen through the eyes of Grandpa
Squirrel and his squirrel grandchildren.
All men have destroyed themselves
through fighting and the animals of the
forest take up life where they left off,
appropriating their discarded instruments
of war for homes. Christmas is the oc-
casion for the animals' celebration of re-
turn to a peaceful world.
This short subject is of topical value
during the Christmas season. It is also
suggested as a useful film in a lighter
mood for programs on international rela-
tions, national preparedness or war pre-
vention. Useful from junior high school
grades through college.
The somewhat gruesome scene depicting
the death of the last two humans pre-
cludes recommendation for elementary

and color value are superb." Advisory

the convent physician offers to adopt the
child and leave her with the nuns. Sister
Theresa is passionately devoted to the

Sister Theresa cannot believe them. . . On

it symbolizes the outside world. . . Sister

"This film presents a life situation in
which through a coincidence the integrity
of an individual becomes a matter of ques-
tion. It is a dramatic story of a young man
without work or funds who finds a bulging
wallet. He knows it must have dropped
from the pocket of a prosperous looking
man who sat next to him on a park bench.
He learns the address of the owner through
a card in the wallet and after much self-
debate finally decides to return it. While
on his way he is apprehended by the
owner and a police officer and searched.
Finding the wallet on him, they come to
but one conclusion — that he has stolen it.
Circumstantial evidence outweighs his
pleadings and the last scene shows him
before the judge for sentence. The film
was planned and directed by the class In
Research aand Designing of Films at the
Summer Session of St. Lawrence Univer-

is for discussion in group study of problems

In a hotel room in Paris . . . Mr and
Mrs Egbert Floud, two Americans, are
packing to return to their home in Red
Gap in the State of Washington. Egbert,
quite happy as a simple backslapping citi-
zen, is outraged to learn that his wife is
planning to take Ruggles, a gentleman's
gentleman acquired from Lord Birnstead.
back to Red Gap with them. Mrs Floud
intends to make Egbert into a "gentle-
man" if it kills her. With considerable
difHculty Mrs Floud and Ruggles manage
to get the reluctant Egbert outfitted in a
way they consider appropriate to his new
status in life. Mrs Floud happily
sets out to make social capital of Ruggles
with the help of her brother-in-law Bel-
knap Jackson. They concoct a good story
about the Floud European trip, putting
special emphasis on their friendship with
Lord Birnstead, and his kindness in letting
them have his manservant Ruggles. How-
ever, this account of the Floud European
trip never gets published, because Mr
Floud on his way to deliver it at the news-
paper office persuades Ruggles to drop into
the town tavern with him for a drink.
There he Introduces Ruggles to his con-
vivial friends as "Colonel" Ruggles, late
of the British Army, who is here visiting
his old friends the Flouds. Mrs Floud and
Belknap Jackson are crushed by the mis-
take, but Mrs Floud's mother. Ma Pettin-
gill, is much amused. The women of Red
Gap flock to the Flouds to meet the dis-
tinguished visitor. Ruggles, though some-
what confused by his new role, obviously
enjoys it. At the first opportunity Belknap
Jackson discharges Ruggles and tells him
to get out of town. Soon after, Mrs Floud
gets a letter from Lord Birnstead announc-
ing that he plans to pay them a visit and
wants to take Ruggles back with him. Mrs
Floud, at first overjoyed at the social pres-
tige Lord Birnstead's visit would bring her,
is then outraged to hear that Belknap has
discharged Ruggles. Ruggles' discharge has
injured his recently acquired self-confi-
dence, but his spirits revive when he meets
Egbert Floud and Ma Pettingill and finds
that they had nothing to do with his dis-
missal and still consider him a friend.

Dramatizes the parable told by Jesus in

wlio asked the question of Jesus tells
another what Jesus told him. A man is
shown leaving the city. Another man
leaves, leading an ass loaded with bags.
In the country outside, men fall upon the
first traveler, rob him, and beat him. A
priest, walking the same road, passes by,
pulling his robe around him to avoid con-
tact with the unconscious victim. Another
man passes. Finally the Samaritan, lead-
ing his ass, stops by the victim, takes
him to an inn, and pays for his care.
The lawyer repeats the words of Jesus
at the end of the story: — "Go and do thou
likewise." The end of the film depicts

From Luke 15:11-32
"This picture begins with a scene of a
group of people listening to Je.sus tell
the parable of the Prodigal Son. The
film continues as a dramatic but faithful
presentation of the parable. The scenes
of 'riotious living' are presented with
such restraint that one is inclined to
wonder how the son spent all his money.
He buys new clothes, flings money to a
dancing girl (modestly clothed) and ap-
parently spends the rest of his money on
food and drink. Both the acting and
voices of the characters are excellent.
The sets and costumes appear reasonably
authentic.
This picture may be used with any
group to which the parable would ordi-
narily be taught. Its use will contribute
greatly to the realistic qualities of the
story .so that it will have an impact on
the audience which the story alone, fa-
miliar as it is, could not possibly have. It
will prove exceptionally valuable in pro-
moting a discussion of the nature of God's
love as Jesus represented it in the char-
acter of the prodigal's father. A study

A brief drama based on Jesus' parable.
The film opens in a street in Jerusalem,
near a gate in the city, where a seller
of baskets and his daughter call their
wares. A man approaches them and
demands payment on a debt. The basket
seller, unable to pay, is threatened. Later,
the man to whom the money was owed,
strips his own house of all luxuries,
preparatory to a visit from a rich man
to whom he owes money. The rich man
arrives, sees the apparent poverty, and
forgives and releases the debtor.
The debtor, in turn, goes to the basket
seller, and when money is refused him,
beats the elderly man as his daughter
looks on. The rich man, passing, sees the
beating, commands his servants to bind
the man, and take him away to prison

"The picture was produced in England
[in 1934j. It was filmed in the slum regions
of the east end of London. The story
centers around an English middle class
family, restless and irritable because it
lacks any satisfying goal in life. Members
of the family attend an evangelistic service
and listen to the message of the famous
English missioner, Lax of Poplar. He
preaches on the Mastership of Jesus. . , He
relates several incidents in his ministry,
each of which is dramatized as a part of
the picture. After the service the family
return home and come to the conclusion
that they too can And a way out of their
restlessness and dissatisfaction by accept-
ing the great Master. For American audi-
ences the film is somewhat handicapped
by English accent. It was not always easy
for the reviewer to follow the conversa-
tional episodes. However the evangelistic
message of the preacher is strong and fine;
his manner is natural and wholesome, and
his voice is clearly recorded. Though the
picture lacks something in artistry, the

Shinto the wav of the gods. lOmin 16-sd-
loan 1941 YMCA 299
Shinto the way of the gods is the original
native Japanese religion evolved from cen-
turies of ancestor worship. Through the
centuries filial piety gradually grew into
Emperor worship and consequently today
Shinto is not only religion but patriotism
as well. While every Japanese is a be-
liever in Shinto he may at the same time
belong to any of the 13 sectarian divisions of
Shinto or one of the 11 Buddhist branches,
or any of the many Christian denomina-
tions. Views of some shrines and people
going in and out of them. Also some views
of the gardens around them. Greatest of
these is one near the center of Tokyo.
Here in Japan's Valhalla the spirits of all
the war dead are enshrined. The chry-
santhemum crest signifies that it is an
imperial shrine, honored each year by a
personal visit from the Emperor. At a
stand a priest sells talismans and memen-
toes to the devout. At the entrance to
each shrine stands the purification foun-
tain. Here a visitor washes his hands and
mouth, thus symbolically purifying him-
self in mind and body. At the shrine's
opening he pulls the bell rope summoning
the god's attention and bows his head in
prayer. A priest blesses a group of boys
who are about to start for the mountain.
In naming a child, the father in his
formal clothes writes the child's name on
a sheet of white paper. This he places
on the family shrine and makes his devo-
tion. The infant is then carried to the
shrine in the arms of its grsindmother.
The priest puts the name, residence and
other statistics in the record. The child
is blessed and the bowl of ceremonial sake
is passed around. The baby, too, is given
some of this. In conclusion the priest
presents the certificate and the baby is
now an individual with a name of hor own.
In the presence of a sick child Shinto
becomes a ritual of solace and comfort.
The mother vows to make a hundred
visits to the nearby shrine to pray for the
recovery of her little one. We see her as
she walks along the road to the shrine
and as she kneels in front of it. In her
hand she holds a bundle of one hundred
slender sticks. At each visit she will bend
down one stick as a count. Her vow ful-
filled, she bows her head in silent prayer.
An occasion for Shinto ritual is the
blessing of three, five and seven vear old
children. The children are brought out
for their first formal visit to a shrine.
At the entrance to the shrine they remove
their shoes. This festival takes place on
the 15th day of November. The children
are dressed in their very best finery for
the ceremony. The priest waves over their
heads strips of sacred white paper designed
to purify them and exercise evil. The
purification ceremony is a fundamental
feature of Shinto.
A Japanese wedding likewise calls for
solemn Shinto ceremony. After purifying
the couple the priest reads the ritual and
then prepares the sake used at all cere-
monies which the altar maidens present
first to the groom and then to the bride.
We see Fujiyama and on its summit
stands another shrine to which a pil-
grimage is made. In six weeks as many
as 65,000 persons have made the climb
in such unbroken lines as this. At the
summit the Shinto priest purifies the pil-
grims and thus the goal is achieved. Views
of shrines and of some of their surround-
ing ornaments and embellishments are
seen. Crowds of people around a shrine

A general approach to the place of art
education in the general scheme of prepar-

schools are mentioned and the thought of
the film is that of the broad use of art
study in practically every field of endeavor
A map of the United States is seen and
it is pointed out that one out of every
10 people in America is of Negro origin.
Several shots of Negroes follow. A rapid
suggestion of the rise of the Negro in in-
dustry, science, agriculture, business and
the professions is suggested. Then the
education of Negroes is considered and
on a map dots locate the schools available
to them. Increasingly, we learn, these
schools are providing art study for the
Negro
In reel 1 we see students painting,
making pottery, sculpturing and modelling
and learning photography. Reel 2 shows
students occupied with the study of archi-
tecture. They study drama also, building
sets, designing scenery, learning the art of
make-up and acting. Rhythm is con-
sidered necessary and one school uses
primitive African dances for this purpose.
Folk and modern dancing are studied also.
It is in music that the Negro has made
his most outstanding contributions and
considerable footage is given here to ob-
serving these students singing, practicing
at the piano and organ.

"Opening scenes illustrate America as
the commentator discusses the 'American
way.' He points out that industry de-
velops from men, money, and productive
ideas. A flash-back to 1807 shows us a
cabinetmaker, going to a banker to obtain
a loan. With the money he plans to ex-
pand his shop. The shop grows and be-
comes a furniture factory with mass
methods of production taking the place of
Individual labor. The point is made that
mass production demands more financing
than can be provided by one person or
company. The investment banker provides
this mass financing. A display of patent
models shows progress in industry from
the earliest designs of our modern ma-
chines. Simple tools are contrasted with
complex machines and the point is made
that a worker now in industry must be
backed by $5,000 in capital to have that
machinery.
A diagram shows how wages, profits.
Interests, rents, and savings flow from the
stream of productive industry, fed by in-
dividual investment. A sketch describes
the work of the investment banker who
must investigate the business, conduct an
engineering survey, then, if his findings
are acceptable, purchase and resell securi-
ties. The investinent banker must know
industry in all its phases. The point is
made that since 1930 only 1/5 as much
money has gone into industrial investment
as in the years immediately preceding, and
that we need invested savings to expand
our industries for defense, as well as
normal growth.
Suggested for junior and senior high
school social science — units on the rela-
tionship of industry to our lives, and the
development of big business, senior high
school economics — units on industry and
capital, and investment banking practices."

"Our Daily Bread presents a story that
entertains, because it is a story of pioneer-
ing and of high adventure. . . The social
and economic problems of men and women
appear in every scene. According to the
story. Mary and John Sims are a young
city couple who have reached the end of
their financial resources.
When a rich relative offers them an old
and heavily mortgaged farmstead, they
thankfully accept the offer. However, since
they are totally inexperienced, their
attempt at farming seems utterly hopeless.
Then Larsen, a practical farmer, accepts
John's offer to share the 160 acres with
him. Things begin to grow magically
under Larsen's hands, and John hits on
the idea of establishing a co-operative
colony, where people can help themselves
by helping each other.
Just when things are looking up, the
bank holding the mortgage on the farm
has it put up at sheriff's sale. Other diflS-
culties threaten to put an end to the
experiment. The most dangerous and the
final difficulty, so far as the picture is
concerned, is a drought . . . that threatens
extinction of the entire crop. . . In this
final emergency, John, who had been
gradually losing his power of leadership,
hits on the idea of bringing water to the
parched fields from a nearby river. In a
highly dramatic sequence he saves the day
and wins back the respect of his fellow-
workers and the love of his wife." Photo-

before our eyes until a modern car model
is presented. A parade of ladies all in old
time garb, followed by an old model car
with a suitable couple trying to ride in it.
This is followed by an up-to-date car
driven by a young woman. More shots of
men and machinery. Parts of automobiles
come out completed in short order. Shots

"This grandiose presentation of Amer-
ican material development since 1880
stresses that only in America is such
development possible because of the so
called 'American System.' It makes for
good Americanism but appears a little far
fetched to this critic. The success and
stability of our government might have
been due to that intangible pioneer spirit
so evident in a high percentage of our
population. However, though I disagree
with the premise upon which this film is
based I consider it a very worthwhile film
and it should be shown to all children in
junior and senior high schools as it con-
tains a wealth of material that would make

"The story of the workers in England
in doing their part in the war program. It
shows the centralization of industry be-
fore the war and then shows the decen-
tralization of industry as a result of the
war. Special emphasis is placed on how
the workers are taken care of in their
travels to their new places of employment.
It also shows how the workers have
adjusted themselves to their new war
time tasks. New types of factories, light-
ing, and other innovations brought on by
the 'blackouts' are shown. The film
stresses the point that the government
realizes the importance of healthy, happy
and industrious workers. The photography
and narration are good. There is a bit 9f
propaganda which is to be expected in
a film of this type.
Could be used in high school or college
classes studying labor conditions, decen-
tralization of industry or how a country
must readjust itself in times of emergency.
It is an excellent film for the studying
of current events and can be used for
comparison of the Defense Program in this

"The Hot Spot Employment Agency
procures jobs for manual laborers for a
fee of 50% of the first month's wages,
and splits with employers who will agree
to discharge the laborers at the end of the
month so that others may replace them
and go through the same routine. A
sample situation, taken from police rec-
ords, is dramatized.
The film shows the injustices of this
employment agency racket, and clearly
visualizes the careful and thorough police
methods used to obtain conviction of

Considers the problems that manage-

unemployment be relieved by seeking
larger markets, by adjustment of prices,
wages, and dividends? How can manage-
ment coordinate its own long-term self-
interest with the needs of the workers
and the consumer?
Instead of attempting to answer these

the background of managerial organiza-

This film was produced by authority of
Henry Morgenthau. Jr., Secretary of the
Treasury. The film first tells how the
Treasury building came to be built while
Andrew Jackson was president of the
United States, and we are shown the build-
ing from several angles.
A map of the United States shows how
the country is divided into districts by the
Secret Service. We learn that two of the
duties of this service are to protect the
president of the United States, and to
suppress counterfeiters.
Chief Wilson is seen as he planned a
campaign when counterfeiting increased to
alarming proportions in 1938. The film goes
on to show how storekeepers and others
who handle money were taught to demand
proper identification before cashing gov-
ernment checks for strangers, and how to
identify counterfeit bills and coins. The
various types of notes issued by our gov-
ernment are shown in detail. Counterfeit
bills and genuine ones are compared in
detail and their differences in workman-
ship clearly pointed out. Interesting ma-
chines in the bureau of engraving are
shown.
To illustrate the way in which counter-
feiters should be caught, the film shows us
a typical case. A car draws up and a
man enters a store with a counterfeit bill.
The girl in the store compares the numbers
with the warning notice which she has
on the back of a show card. She opens
her cash drawer and indicates that she
does not have the change. She calls the
manager, who takes the bill and after care-
fully comparing it with a genuine note,
telephones for the police. An alarm goes
out for a motorcycle policeman and our
counterfeiter is neatly trapped
"Produced and acted by personnel of
the U.S. Secret Service. Clearly shows
differences between genuine and counter-
feit paper money and coins, illustrates
methods used by professional passers of
counterfeit money, and tells how mer-
chants and others may protect themselves
against the counterfeiter — and the forger
of government checks. Although not a
new film, it is always timely. Recom-
mended for all groups." Secondary educ.

The introduction to this film makes the
point that through the cooperatives the
consumers in Sweden have come into own-
ership and control of a substantial portion
of Sweden's business. The film proceeds
to trace briefly the history of Kooperativa
Forbundet, the manufacturing, wholesal-
ing, organizing and educating society of
which the local cooperatives are members.
Then appear scenes illustrative of the
various activities of Kooperativa For-
bundet: some of the many manufactur-
ing plants, the correspondence school, the
architectural bureau, the specialized school
of Var-Gard, and samples of the local
co-op stores which serve the people of
Sweden. The last section is devoted to
the housing cooperatives, and deals chiefly
with the buildings and methods followed
by H.S.B., Sweden's largest housing co-
operative. Throughout this unit an at-
tempt is made to show not only the coop-
eratives themselves, but the significance of
the movement for the people of Sweden

"This is a fairly good film for elemen-

Two boys are seen leaning against a
lamp post, one is smoking. Two more
dash up and they talk. They dash off and
"snatch" a car but have an accident in
making the get-away. They jump out
and run for it but one is caught. This
is John Marvin caught for tiie first time
altho he has a record of delinquent ten-
dencies and for hanging out with a
questionable gang. It all began in the
conHict of an unhappy home. He is sullen
and misguided. What lies ahead of him?
Then we see Juvenile Court. This is the
answer. Shot of such a court.
A car drives up. A policeman with
Johnny in tow alights and goes into court.
Johnny is taken to a detention home
maintained by the community for such
cases. There is a house mother and
father. Johnny is made comfortable in
spite of himself. He is given a bath,
clean pajamas, a comfortable bed and a
good night's rest. Next morning after a
nourishing breakfast he pays a visit to
the probation otticer where he tells his
story in a sullen, halting way. Then lie
goes back to the detention home for a
few days. A probation officer is asked
to look into his background and find out
why Johnny has behaved as he has.
First he goes to Johnny's neighborhood.
Johnny's world of squalid houses. Here
in the rear of a house he finds the Marvins
living. Johnny's father is not living and
his mother is tired and nagging. The
officer looks up the gang (he is concerned
about these boys too) but he finds them
suspicious and uncommunicative. He talks
to Johnny's teacher and learns that he
has a long record of truancy and poor
school work. Meanwhile Johnny is taken
to the clinic for a thoro physical examina-
tion.
Psychological tests reveal his special
aptitudes. The probation oflficer's efforts
to make Johnny talk himself meet with
a little success. Then Johnny goes before
the judge in a juvenile court. This is
not a trial but more of a private liearing
with only Johnny, his mother and the
probation officer present. The judge has
already studied the reports of the doctor,
probation officer and the psychologist.
After listening to the people before him
he reaches his decision.
Johnny is put on probation. Mr Benton
will be liis friend and supervisor. Benton
and Jolinny become better acquainted.
Benton must learn more about Johnny
and get him to want to do the right
thing. Benton talks to Johnny's mother
and helps her to understand Johnny's
needs. The welfare helps her to make iier
home more attractive for her children.
Benton sees Johnny often — sometimes in
the community swimming pool. He inter-
ests him in the school basketball team.
He is even successful In getting him to
go to church. Sometimes he sees Johnny
in his home where Johnny now helps and
seems proud of his new sense of respon-
sibility.
Benton discovers Johnny's interest in
airplanes and takes him to a field where
Johnny gets the thrill of his life. Thru
his desire to become an aviator Johnny
takes more interest in his lessons. He
must graduate from high school. He learns
about the public library and helps build
a model airplane in a boy's club. Johnny
has found a new world. The gang is
forgotten. After a year's probation Johnny
Is again brought before the judge who
says — "You don't need probation any more
Mr Benton says. You have made good."
Benton and Johnny come out of juvenile
court and a different Johnny goes confi-
dently away

"Dramatic presentation of the youthful
impatience of young lovers. Parents who
have no objection to the marriage of the
couple insist that they wait until they
are self-supporting. Impatient with this
advice, the boy and girl leave home for
the city; spend their meager savings; sell
their car; work in a night club; inad-
vertently come by money not belonging
to them; and in an attempt to escape
ensuing difficulties with the police, shoot
the attendant at a drive-your-own-car
garage; and eventually the boy is killed.
Commentary points to the fact that
most of the tragedies of youth are the
result of impatience and false pride. Well
dramatized, directed and photographed.
Highly recommended for sociology
courses, grades 10 through college, and as

About a young man who has lost his first
position through a merger. George Miller
is an average young American who is
intelligent and honest, and who, luckily,
"fell in" to his first job. When he is
fired, he despondently turns to his family
for advice. His Uncle John, a retired
business man, takes him in hand and sug-
gests new ideas and personal improve-
ments which should aid him in finding a
Job. Together, they look through the
daily paper, and when they find a news
item stating that the Cobalt Corporation
had recently purchased important patents,
Uncle John tells George that this com-
pany will surely expand and need more
help. George is coached by his Uncle John
in manner, appearance, presentation and
attitude. Some time later we find George
entering the employment offices of the
Cobalt corporation. There are a number of
other young persons applying for positions,
and as George fills out his application and
awaits his turn, we go into the oflBce of
Mr Gibbons, the Personnel Manager, where
we "sit in" on every applicant's interview.
Finally, George Miller is shown in, and we
quickly see where the advice Uncle John
gave him takes effect. After this inter-
view, the Narrator and Mr Gibbons dis-
cuss each applicant. The final decision is
left to the classroom
"This film, while ostensibly dealing with
proper and improper technics of seeking
employment, has far deeper implications. . .
It brings to the classroom, In tangible
form, those intangible qualities toward
which all education is directed. . . Could

the purpose of which is to create critical
thinking. . . Enables a child to see why
we stress so many of the vital essentials
of character and does it in a very interest-
ing manner. A 'must' for every library
Most suitable for merchandising classes,
business training, vocational guidance and
economic citizenship as a supplement to
the other teaching media. But its value
lies in its power to create discussion in
homeroom periods, citizenship-training
classes, and other occasions when character
is stressed. It is also recommended for
commercial organizations for personnel
training." Secondary educ.

"Ruth Hart came to college. Like many
of you in high school, or in junior or arts
colleges, she wanted to know what part
she could take in the work of the world.
She wanted all the help she could get in
choosing, training for, getting and holding
the right job. In the General College of
the University of Minnesota she found
what she was looking for. She found
here a staff of teachers who were as much
interested in knowing and helping her as
a student, as in knowing and teaching her
their subject. She found trained psy-
chologists and guidance people, and a
Testing Bureau to give her diagnostic
tests of her ability. She found adminis-
trators who made all this ready to aid her.
This picture unfolds the story of Ruth
Hart and how she chose the job she
could best do. The movie is planned, writ-
ten, photographed and presented to you
by students, interested themselves in
becoming photographers, directors, script
writers, and technicians. They made the
film as their project in the course in
Vocational Orientation in which Ruth Hart
got her help. They did it by themselves
without advice or interference from the
faculty, except for some assistance on the
commentary. In the course, as the film
shows, Ruth Hart and her friends learned
at last to think of jobs, not in terms
of labels, but in terms of function, not
what a job is called but what the man or
woman who holds it has to do, what kind
of ability and training he must have."
After the above introduction by Dr.
Malcolm S. MacLean, former Director of the
General College, the film proceeds to show
Ruth Hart's activities in the Vocational

"An interesting and entertaining film
showing the transition of an oflfice worker
into a skilled mechanic in industry as a
part of the defense program in England.
The story emphasizes the possibilities of
taking white-collar workers and retraining
them for the industrial occupations made
necessary by war demands. Details in
this training program consisting of teach-
ing procedures, steps of development,
goals, and results are interestingly pre-
sented. This is a timely picture containing
information about a subject that is being
carefully studied in America as well as
in England. However, consideration should
be given to the propaganda it promulgates.

good for auditorium use on current events

Professor Ward, a science teacher, ar-
rives at the school one morning in the
middle of a snowball fight. A snowball
thrown by Peter TrimbuU, son of the
town's richest man, breaks a window.
"Will your father take It out of your al-
lowance?" the professor asks Peter. When
Peter replies that he will not, the pro-
fessor decides that he will have to pay by
staying after school. As he metes out this
punishment, a snowball hits him squarely
in the back of the neck. The professor
stalks off undaunted. In science class that
afternoon. Professor Ward's lecture is re-
ceived with something less than the class'
undivided attention. Peter Trimbull and
two other boys are engaged in a sur-
reptitious wrestling match behind one of
the laboratory tables. . . Ward steps down
from the lecture platform ... to assure
himself of the facts, and returns to his
place. When the boys emerge from behind
the table, he invites them to join him on
the platform. Peter dons a false face and
sets the class in an uproar. Ward insists
that Peter keep the mask on and answer
Questions on the lesson. Ward has the
situation under control and Peter is unable
to answer his first question. The second
question, which involves a knowledge of
the subject and original thinking, Peter
answers ably. The professor commends
him ungrudgingly. Nevertheless, as pun-
ishment for disrupting the class, Peter
must chalk his name on the roll of dis-
honor. Since the attention of the class is
still divided. Professor Ward decides to
give everybody one good laugh and get it
over with. He puts on the false face and
strikes a pose while the class roars. Sud-
denly there is a silence. The professor
asks wny, and learns that the Dean had
come into the room with visitors while he
was clowning. Ward considers the situa-
tion for a moment, then writes his name
in large letters on the roll of dishonor.
The students' applause almost drowns out
the dismissal bell. As the class leaves,
Ward reminds Trimbull, "Peter, I'll see

There are only 21 blind children in Eng-
land under a year old; and only 2,000
under 16 years. This amazing record is
due largely to prevention of infection at
birth.
But for those who are blind, there are
special schools. They are taught to dress
themselves, eat and play and later to read
and write in Braille, and use tools in
carpentry. For a student who wishes to
go on to the University, there is ample
help and any textbook he or she needs
will be made on request by The National
Institute for the Blind.
Some are trained for a profession. Mas-
sage is one such training and piano tun-
ing another. As typists also, the blind
are equal or superior to regular secre-
taries; they need only a special Braille
shorthand machine.
The most difficult problem is the adjust-
ment of those who grow blind later in life.
They are taught simpler trades such as
basket making and weaving. For those
who cannot afford them, radios are pro-
vided free. For those whose fingers are
too hardened by work for them to read
Braille, "talking books" on records are
provided by the National Institute on the
same basis

"Succeeds admirably, through unusual

intelligent citizenship in a democracy is
best achieved by permitting children at

ability. The habit of working together
cannot be started too early in life, as the

this one can do much to promote good will
among taxpayers, because education of this

This color film takes the audience into
the preschool laboratories of the Iowa
Child Welfare Research Station. Children
find that there is satisfaction in belonging
to a group outside their families, but also
the homes figure importantly in their play.
In an atmosphere of sympathetic under-
standing these children learn to satisfy
their own fundamental needs and also to
get along happily with others. Age dif-
ferences are brought out in the children's
interest in taking responsibility for them-
selves, in their ability to apply themselves
purposefully in their learning to manipulate
and manage the play material in their en-
vironment, and in their ability to get along
with each other. A new little boy finds
sympathetic understanding, protection
against too rapid or sudden exposure to
new experiences, guidance in the use of

The story of some of the educational
experiences of a girl during four years at
Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y.
It begins with scenes of girls arriving on
the campus. Joan White, a new student,
interviews her adviser. She talks with
other faculty members, and visits labora-
tories and studios. She must choose those
courses which are related to her experience,
interests, and needs.
An article on housing interests Joan.
She takes it with her to a class which is
discussing this problem. The instructor
calls attention to another article on the
same subject, written from a different
point of view. Discussion follows. Mem-
bers of the class decide they want to
study a housing project first-hand. A
trip to New York is planned where they
interview people of the low-income levels
and others in crowded tenement areas.
There follow scenes of students at work
in a laboratory, a studio, the library,
college theater, and an office. One student
dressed in a nurse's uniform observes an
operation. All of these experiences, and
many others, are a part of Joan's edu-
cation.
In her senior year Joan considers the
selection of an area of investigation for
a project which she must complete to
qualify for a degree. She is shown with
nude nursery school children as they play
in a wading pool. She has decided upon
a project in child development in which
she will attempt to discover the relation-
ship between mental and physical growth.
Plans are discussed with her adviser, and
her outline presented to a faculty group.
Joan searches the library for books which
will help her. She consults with a
physiology teacher when confronted by a
problem concerning the relation of the
thyroid gland to physical growth.
Joan takes notes of actions of nursery
school children at play. She receives in-
struction from a faculty member in the
operation of a miniature camera and
photographs small nude children in front
of a crosshatched backboard for recording
physical development. She watches other
girls playing tennis, but she prefers work
on her project. Following scenes indicate
something of her determination to finish
this work as she refuses invitations to
play.
Finally, Joan presents her report to a
Jury of class members. Close-ups of
.•several girls are shown as the commentator
states that four years are bound to make
changes, and that these girls now know
more about themselves, what they can do,
and what kind of lives they want to lead.
This type of education, he says has
prepared Joan to take her place in the
adult world

a film formerly released separately under
title "Busy hands"
"Presented with the hope that It may
lend encouragement to other school systems
contemplating the use of the Motion Picture
to vitalize the public relations program,
and should be considered as an amateur
attack on a universally important problem.
The film footage used in this picture has
been taken from public relations films pro-
duced by Mercer County schools, and is
presented here to illustrate three of the
many possibilities for the production of this
type of film: (1) The city or county system
film which samples work of a certain type,
(2) the city or county film which attacks
a particular problem common to the entire
system, and (3) the film produced by the
individual school." Producer
"A good public relations film, serving
the piarpose of 'Bringing the school to the

Designed to illustrate the unsatisfactory
relationship between education and the
local necessities of life which characterize
American education in many parts of the
country. They are authentic records of
people living their usual lives. Sponsored
by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
The opening scenes are of an unpainted
farm standing dreary and uninviting in the
midst of a winter snow storm. Outside the
farmer cuts wood and inside his family
gathers about the table to partake of a
very meagre meal. Into lunch pails goes
what is left of the breakfast fare and off
to school go these poorly fortified children.
It is suggested that all over the country
children like these are trudging to school
thru snow like this and with lunches like
these.
In the classroom these children read
medieval poetry from their "literature"
books, work arithmetic problems about
merchandise unknown to them and learn
of the life of Dutch boys and girls. As the
teacher's voice tells about these things
we see the poorly shod feet of the children,
we see torn shirts and frayed elbows.
Several comparisons are given here be-
tween the life the farmer of the locality
is living and the lessons the children are
having in their rural school. At lunch
time the children eat their poor meal — the
sort of meal which saps their vitality and
leaves them a prey to disease.
But next year in this school the children
will learn how to milk goats and how to
wrest a better living from their land and
families will not have to subsist on potatoes
and grease as we see them doing here.
The meal over, father strums a tune and
a small boy Jigs to it. The boy is given a
cigarette which he smokes expertly. The
family sits enjoying the evening and the
music as the house fades into the darkness
of the night

"Presents educational theory translated
into practice. It pictures vividly the way
in which one school is attempting to give
its children a rich educational experience,
and thus provides a concrete basis for
discussion. . . It is hoped that this film
will be used in teacher-training classes
and institutes as a basis for discussing
the relative values of various educational
theories and methods. The film has still
another possible use. One of the obstacles
to educational progress is the difficulty of
showing to lay groups, such as boards of
education, parent organizations, and tax-
payers, the definite implications of a more
effective educational program. Perhaps a
more concrete demonstration of what con-
stitutes desirable education will greatly
aid the layman in deciding upon the type
of education he desires for his children. . .
While this film can show only a small part
of the desirable activities which were car-
ried on in the school, it does Illustrate

The Carters are an average American
family. Tommy's father, a newspaper
publisher, starts a discussion about
whether Tommy's generation, or his
father's contemporaries, are the most
courteous. He suggests that Tommy and
his sister, Betty, write an objective news-
paper story about courtesy, with pictures.
He also assigns two of his professional
newspaper staff, a reporter and a camera-
man to the same job — to see, as Carter
puts it, "that the older generation gets
a square deal."
In his classroom, Tommy tells his fel-
low students what his father is allowing
him and Betty to do, and, after they
catch a few incidents within the school,
brother and sister tour the town. Their
task proves difficult. Incident after inci-
dent is revealed. Restaurants, department
stores, and executive offices are visited.
Their day is concluded at the movies.
The next day they all meet in Mr Car-
ter's office to review the material brought
in. As each photograph is picked up,
pertinent questions are asked regarding
each incident. These questions are never
answered, but as Carter looks at the pic-
tures, the pictures come to life and the
scene is reenacted. After looking at
everything. Carter turns to the group
and reminds them that they were trying
to discover whether the older generation
is more courteous than the younger. It
is suggested that that point doesn't seem
so important now as courtesy itself

This motion picture takes us on a flying
trip to the Iberian Peninsula where, by
maps, scenes, and commentary we trace
the origin and development of the word
"Spain" and the history of the Peninsula
itself up to the time of the unification of
the country known today as Spain. Numer-
ous references are made to the language
spoken by the Spaniards and how it de-
veloped from Latin. We then become ac-
quainted with the various types of Span-
iards. Emphasis is laid on the habits of
the Spaniards and the fact that these are
the peoples who speak Spanish in Europe.
We move to the Western Hemisphere, via
the routes of explorers and discoverers who
sailed from Spain in the 15th and 16th
centuries. With the aid of animated maps
we get a picture of the influence of old
Spain on the Western Hemisphere.
In the Spanish America of today, actual
scenes of people — at work, at play —
familiarize us with the wide variety of
people and types of people whose native
language is Spanish. We visit Mexico, Ar-
gentina and Cuba. The animated maps
make clear for us that the Spanish lan-
guage is spoken in a large area of the
Western Hemisphere. Spanish is not a
difficult language to learn. The narrator
suggests that we begin now by singing
the Spanish-language folk song "La Palo-
ma." Tlie words appear on the screen,
the music is played, and the voice from
the screen urges the audience to follow
the words on the screen. (Words appear
in English and Spanish)
"This interesting film gives the student
a background that will help to develop an
interest and create a better understanding
of the Spanish Speaking World. Its presen-
tation complies with modern pedagogical
principles in teaching a foreign language.
If shown a few times the children would
have no difficulty learning the song. Use

definite geometric patterns, triangles,
circles, rectangles, cylinders and so on.
The tools required to operate, depend upon
geometry also. The manufacturers of
clothing need geometry. In geometric lan-
guage he cuts thru hundreds of layers of
cloth which are congruent to each other.
In construction work geometry is a factor.
Blueprints. A derrick. Scaffolding. The
geometric pattern of a modern housing
project allows the buildings to have the
most light and air for the space available.
The Empire state building and some other
big buildings. A building based on the
isoscles triangle. Parallel lines are the
dominating theme in every structure. The
trapezoid is a sturdy reminder of the days
when it was the support of mighty temples.
We find the cylinder used as industrial
tanks and on the farm in the silo sur-
mounted by cones. Our great bridges
embody geometry in every stage.
In the field of science geometry Is con-
stantly at work. Man in a prescription
department. Construction and operation
of the microscope and other scientific In-
struments are based upon geometric prin-
ciples. The home has its claim upon
geometry, from the design of its furnish-
ings to the performance of everyday house-
hold duties. Plans of rooms. Picture
hung crooked is made to hang truely
vertical by the simple method of holding
a plumb line along one edge. In resetting
the hands of a clock for the correct time,
many different angles are formed. Dia-
gram showing incorrect focus and effect on
lines of light, and how the lines of light
form different triangles.
Many sports are ruled by geometry. A
baseball diamond is a square. A gridiron
has parallel markings. Basketball is
played with a sphere on a rectangular
court. The skier must keep his skiis
parallel. At the track meet parallel
straight lines and parallel arcs keep the
runners in their proper lanes. The tennis
court is marked off by a series of
rectangles. Boat crews show good form
only when the bodies of the men as well as
their oars remain constantly parallel. A
triangular sail against a perpendicular
mast achieves greatest efficiency for a
graceful sailing craft. The huge polygon
of the ferris wheel is strengthened by the
radius lines that extend from the steel
core at the center. On a little picnic
geometry tags right along. We lay out the
square table cloth, set on it the congruent
paper plates, open the cylindrical fruit
juice can and cut the pie into sectors. A
quick over view of the things we have seen
and then a triangle of birds against the
sky
"This is a very good film to be used as
an introduction to the study of Intuitive
Geometry in the junior high school. The
technical make-up of the film is rather
inconsistent. . . If a school wants a sound
film to be used to develop an interest In
the study of geometry this film is excellent
for such a purpose as it does show how
geometry is not only all about us but Is
essential in almost everything man does."

Now the materials themselves are shown —
check and balances of weight, 2500cc
graduated cylinders, 150cc graduated cylin-
der, an irregular lump of coal, a spool of
thread with a length of it unwound, pencil
and paper (for calculations). Water is
poured into one of the cylinders and a
closeup is shown. Calculations are shown.
Now the title: Weight of the object is
one of the primary factors to be considered.
The lump of coal is carefully weighed.
Calculations shov/n again. Thread is tied
around the coal and the coal is lowered
into the cylinder of water. A closeup
shows the water displacement. We see
the calculations again and the reading has
changed from 326 to 350.9. Again a title:
The volume of a submerged body is equal
to the volume of liquid it displaces. A
closeup of the cylinders follows. Then
the calculations again and we see that
the difference is 24.9cc. This is shown in
closeup right beside the tube. Now all
of the calculations are shown with the
answer plainly indicated, in closeup

First the film tells of the difficulty of
erecting power plants in the gulf coast
region of Texas and Louisiana, of the
struggle with quicksand and poisonous
gases prior to the development of the pres-
ent sulphur mining process. We see a
general overview of the country and then
a map locating several mines including the
Freeport mine in Louisiana. A general
view of this mine followed by shots of men
at work. Diagram showing unconsolidated
substance, barren limestone, sulphur-bear-
ing limestone, etc. Now shots of the sul-
phur wells. Then with actual views and
diagrams we see how one of these wells
Is constructed and the mining carried on,
following essentially the method Invented
m 1891 by Dr Herman Franch, with im-
provements added throughout the years.
Many shots of the power plants and reser-
voirs are shown. We see also an up-to-
date machine shop necessary to keep all
this machinery in order. The commentator
explains that once started a well must
keep going 24 hours a day seven days a
week and anything needing It must be
repaired immediately. More processes are
shown, using views and diagrams. Then
we see great mountains of the sulphur
which has been permitted to solidify. It
is blasted down and loaded on to a train
by crane. A closeup of the cars used for this
purpose. A loading platform at Freeport
Harbor. Here the sulphur is loaded on
to ships bound for all parts of the world.
Shots of an endless belt conveyor loading
sulphur on to barges. A general shot and
shots of the various processes while the
commentator tells many of the things for
which sulphur is needed. We see a model
community provided for the sulphur work-
ers. Then we learn that sulphur Is pro-
duced extensively in other ways in other
parts of the world. Then the film goes into
color. Vats of liquid sulphur, the moun-
tains of solidified sulphur, the endless belt,
tug pulling a loaded barge— all in beautiful

Dr Sondelius and Dr Arrowsmith have
developed a serum which will afford im-
munity to bubonic plague. When the plague
breaks out in the West Indies they are
sent to give the serum a final testing. The
value of the serum is to be proved by
innoculating half the population and leav-
ing the other alone. But the local authori-
ties in the West Indies insist that the
serum must be given to all or none.
Arrowsmith tells them that civilization is
on his side; that they are thinking only
of the island, he is thinking of all man-
kind. But the authorities are obdurate.
Arrowsmith and Sondelius are convinced
that they are defeated when a Dr Marshall,
a Negro, offers to cooperate with them
among his own people in a village in the
interior. Sondelius and Arrowsmith work
steadily. Finally, Sondelius faints and Ar-
rowsmith, realizes his colleague has con-
tracted the plague. As Sondelius dies he
urges Arrowsmith to give injections to
everyone, "Save them. . . Save all of these
poor devils. . . Let Science's experiments

Babes in the woods — Continued
of chipmunks at various antics. An orphan
bobcat is captured and we see how the
terrified creature responds to kind treat-

The setting of this film is a farm where
elephants are trained as circus performers.
Mumbo, a trained elephant eats her break-
fast of hay. Her great ears, her small,
weak eyes, her trunk, feet, and tail are
shown and her great strength is demon-
strated. She bathes, she drinks and wal-
lows in the water until ordered out. She
scratches her back on a tree and takes a
dust bath. She is put through her tricks.
Mumbo dances, sits up, rides the boy on
her back, and even stands on her head.
A few days later, a circus owner comes to
take Mumbo away, leaving two baby ele-
phants to be trained. A part of the
process of training them for circus acts is

when the buffalo was plentiful and was
hunted for food by the Indians, but never
slaughtered unneccessarily. The Indians
used the skins for clothing and for canoe
coverings; the hair was woven into cloth.
Then we see white men arriving in their

buffaloes had been killed for sport and for
their skins.
Canada and the United States, suddenly
awakening to the imminence of extinction
for the buffalo, establish a joint reserve,
known as Buffalo Park. Here herds of
buffalo graze in peaceful security. The

ALSO AVAILABLE FROM
J6mm; Ohio
Produced by the Department of biopho-
tography of Rutgers university. The killi-
flsh Fundulus is used in the first part of
this color film to demonstrate color changes.
We see them in fresh water and then in
sea water. It is explained that color
changes in fish are brought about by the
migration of pigments within branching
processes of cells called chromatophores.
It is shown that these cells are located in
the skin and are controlled in part by the
nervous system and in part by the endo-
crine system. We next see how fish tend
to assume the color of their background. In
close-up we examine the heavily pigmented
area of the dorsal fin of the male. It is
next shown that the female lacks this
heavily pigmented characteristic. Then we
see fish which have been on different back-
grounds— blue, black, white and yellow. In
each case the pigment corresponding to the
predominant color has been dispersed while
the other pigments are in various stages
of concentration. Cinemicrographs show
dividual pigment cells from isolated scales,
individual pigment cells from isolated
scales, concentrated pigment and dispersed
pigment. Blood corpuscles in the capillaries
are pointed out and pigment distribution
at the posterior margin of the operculum.
Pigment distribution in and around the eye
is shown and at the angle of the jaw. The
iridosomes are shown up prominently by
reflected light and attention is called to the
myotomes and myosepta, the zig-zag muscle
markings. This is an example of change
brought about by neural and humoral con-
trol. An entirely different method is dem-
onstrated with the squid Loiigo. We are
shown newly hatched larvae and are shown
that pigment is contained in elastic sacs
which are changed in shape and area by
the contraction of muscles. Rapid color
changes are produced. Cilia are shown on
the margin of the head. We see the gills,
the heart. By this method color changes
are brought about by the contraction of
muscle fibers under control of the nervous
system
"Highly technical film restricted almost
entirely to use in advanced courses in col-
lege. Color — fair. Treatment of subject —
accurate and complete, however, the theme
seems to move too slowly. Portions of the
film dealing with actual changes in color
of fish are excellent." PCW film service

This is the story of sponge fishing in the
town of Tarpon Springs, Florida, as done by
the Greeks who live there. It is a color
film. We see a native diver preparing to go
down for sponges. He crosses himself sev-
eral times and dives in. The underwater
shots which follow are rather indistinct but
we can see the diver swimming about cut-
ting sponges loose. It is brought out that
in 1900 the flotillas were brought to Florida.
A boat is launched and sails out to earn
its living. We see that it is customary to
use a smaller boat for shallow waters and
the sponges are gathered by a method called
hooking. While we watch 2 men hooking
sponges the commentator tells us about
sponges. Sponges are loaded on boats and
covered with cloths. Now the ship starts
for deeper water. Now a diver wears a
diving suit and with small pronged hook
and a net down he goes to a depth of 150
feet. We see him walking on the ocean
floor, where he is able to stay for a couple
of hours. Commentator explains that the
deeper he goes the less time he can stay
under because of pressure. These shots
are very indistinct. As he walks about the
commentator relates some of the supersti-
tions rampant among these men. As the
diver gathers the sponges he puts them in
his net. He is unable to resist some coral.
From time to time his net is sent up
to the ship and emptied. As soon as they
get them on ship they begin curing them.
They trample on them, smack them with
knives and pound them with a club, remov-
ing the gurry. Then they are rinsed in sea
water and left to dry in the sun. The diver
comes on board and the ship prepares to
put to port. The harbor is a busy place.
Sponges are unloaded and strung in long
strings. Men carry them like this over their
shoulders. An overview of Tarpon Springs

arate compartments allotted to each ship,

the points which deserve special mention
are: (1) the demonstration of the structure

(2) the way in which by frequent shots of
the vertebrate and intermediate hosts irv

of the audience is always drawn to the
size of the different stages and their inter-

enable the mind to grasp the very compli-

at the end of the film, rapidly running over
the whole cycle, is very valuable from the
teaching standpoint and makes clear the
complete story. The only criticisms to be
made are that the film does not make quite
clear exactly how much damage is caused

its ravages to livestock in general, by the
presence of the fluke, nor is it mentioned
exactly how the inert cyst travels from the

The story is set in an apple orchard.
Bees are seen on blossoms and carrying
nectar and pollen to the nest. Then fol-
lows a detailed study of the worker bee
including microscopic shots. The drone is
seen and also the queen. We see the
workers feeding the queen and cleaning
her. They also clean out the cells.
The queen lays an egg. After three
days, the eggs hatch into larvae. Workers
feed them. After six days, the larva spins
a cocoon. The larva sheds its skin and
changes into a pupa. Finally adult bees
start to gnaw their way out of the
cocoons and the cells. Now they are ready
to do their work in the nest. They feed
the larvae, ventilate the nest and becom-
ing guards of the nest, put to route an
intruder bumblebee.
When the nest becomes full of eggs and
larvae, the workers get ready to raise a
new queen. They select a female larva,
tear apart her cell and enlarge it. They
feed the queen larva royaJ jelly only.
They seal the queen's cell. Now the old
queen and the field bees prepare to swarm.
The new queen pushes aside the cap over
her cell and emerges as a full grown
queen. The new queen finds another queen
cell in the nest. This she tears apart.
Another adult queen bee hatches from its
cell. The two queens meet and fight a
life and death struggle. Workers watch
the battle.
The field bees which left the nest with
the old queen, settle temporarily on a
branch. The nest bees stay with the new
queen. Scout bees leave the swarm and
look for a place to build a new nest. The
swarm makes a bee line toward its new
home. After the swarm settles the work-
ers start to build a new comb. We see
workers making wax, secreting it, apply-
ing it and shaping it into cells.
Bees on flowers gathering food for the
new nest. This is shown also through a
magnifying glass. The bee returns to the
nest and performs the honey dance. When
bees visit flowers they get the powder-like
pollen on the hairs of the body. With the
combs on its legs, the bee brushes the
pollen from its body into the pollen basket
on each hind leg. The bee actually packs
the pollen into these sacs until they bulge.
The bee carries the pollen to the nest in
these baskets. Back in the nest, the work-
er dances around, doing a pollen jig, be-
fore she deposits the pollen in a cell.
Extra food is stored in the comb for
the bees that will live through the cold
winter season. Bees are seen in a fleld of
clover

"This film stands out above all others on
the subject of penguins. In the Edinburgh

This is the story of a family from Indiana
who comes to New York to see the Fair.
It gives us a glimpse of the various build-
ings, but concerns itself mostly with the
Westinghouse exhibit. Here a boy from
back home, Jim, who works at the Fair
takes the family around and explains the
many wonders of science to them, mean-
while trying to convince Bud, the young
son, that machinery instead of taking jobs
away from people makes more for them.
He is opposed in his views by Dick, a rad-
ical artist. There is also a little romance
injected into the story through the young
daughter, Babs, whom both Dick and Jim
wisli to marry
"Neither the 'American Way' nor the
'ism' is given an honest or forceful treat-

A specially prepared excerpt from the
Warner Brothers production giving a brief
survey of some of the difficulties encoun-
tered by Florence Nightingale in establish-
ing her humane work. May be rented only
for educational purposes where no admission
is charged
At the outbreak of the Crimean War
Florence Nightingale sets out from Eng-
land with a group of trained nurses de-
termined to help in the care of the sick and
wounded. From the beginning she meets
opposition from Dr Hunt, the head of the
Medical Corps in Scutari. There have
never been women nurses in the English
Army hospitals, and Dr. Hunt Is sure there
never should be. The base hospital at Scu-
tari is in appalling condition. It is dirty
and overcrowded. . . Florence Nightingale
sets out to clean up the buildings, and in-
troduce modern sanitary nursing. She
gets no cooperation from the army per-
sonnel. Supplies and aid are denied tier.
One doctor who tries to help her is
sent to the front. When Florence Night-
ingale asks Dr Hunt to explain his oppo-
sition to her, he tells her frankly that he
is not opposed to her as a person, but that
he objects to women nurses for the soldiers.
He thinks that they make the men "soft."
When Miss Nightingale carries her work
to the front lines the opposition increases.
At Dr Hunt's orders she is denied admit-
tance to the hospitals. The Commander-in-
chief, hearing of her difficulties, sees that
she is given an opportunity to do her work
and orders an inquiry into Dr Hunt's ac-
tivities. On returning from the front one
day Miss Nightingale finds that Dr Hunt
has allowed a group of untrained women,
led by a person with no previous experience,
to take charge of the hospital. To the com-
mittee sent to investigate him, he complains
of their innefflciency, and blames it on Miss
Nightingale. When the truth is discovered.
Miss Nightingale is made head of the army
nursing corps. After the war Miss Night-
ingale returns to England, and Is sent for
by the Queen. As she waits in the ante-
room for her audience she is met by the
permanent undersecretary for the War
Office — who opposed her ever since she
went to the Crimea. He tells her that he
still considers her dangerously progressive.
She is undermining the system that he
represents. "We cannot afford to experi-
ment," he tells her. And Florence Night-
ingale replies, "But we cannot afford to
wait" sh-c-adult Guide

"Several cinematic devices are used to
present a detailed exposition of the kid-
neys and their functions. First, an anal-
ogy is drawn between machines which use
selective devices and the selective pro-
cesses by which wastes are eliminated in
the kidneys. An animated diagram is next
used to give an enlarged view of the kid-
neys, and to reveal the processes of trans-
fer and filtration. Laboratory experiments
show the properties of the semi-permeable
membranes which function in the kidneys
to allow wastes to pass but restrict pas-
sage of food materials. Content analysis
charts compare glomerular fluid to urine.
Next, anesthetized animals are used to
study the factors affecting rate of urine
formation, including blood sugar content
and external temperature. As the film
ends the narrator tells us that the func-
tion of the kidneys is comparable to that
of a gyroscope in that they maintain a
balance between the blood and body tissue.
This is an unusually well -organized
presentation of the function of the kid-

"This color film uses titles, photography,
and narration to explain food constituents
and their work in the human body. . . An
expert on foods and diet, Frances Stern, is
introduced. She talks about foods and food
selection. A table setting is shown; then
growing vegetables, as the narrator ex-
plains that proteins are needed for growth
and repair in the body. Foods valuable as
protein sources are shown. Then it is
explained that carbohydrates and fats fur-
nish the body's fuel; their sources are
shown. Next calcium, builder of the body's
foundations, with its sources, and food iron,
for red blood. Here a chart indicates the
circulatory system, drawing an analogy to
irrigation systems used in agriculture.
Finally, the vitamins and some of their
sources are enumerated. Frances Stern
concludes the film with brief summarizing
remarks.
A good film for classes in health, home
economics, science and guidance. Should
have some uses in the higher elementary
grades, major worth in junior and senior
high, and some value in college classes.
It is also suited for adult cooking schools,
P.-T.A.'s and the like." Don White in

"In this film a story treatment explains
the importance to good health of employ-
ing cooking procedures which preserve the
vitamins present in foods, emphasizing the
use of the Westinghouse electric range
in food preparation. In the first part of
the film two families are compared. The
first one presents a happy scene at the
dinner table. But for the second family,
the scene is less joyful because no one is
hungry. In explaining the reasons for
this, the film takes us to a college class-
room where an instructor lectures on vita-
mins and the various ways by which some
of them may be destroyed through im-
proper cooking. Water-soluble and fat-
soluble vitamins are enumerated and ex-
plained, and the values of various mineral
foods are also explained. Sources of foods
are briefly shown. But before serving,
these foods must be cooked. The values
of various new features found in the West-
inghouse electric ranges are emphasized
as the wife in the first home demonstrates
her 'Vitaminized' cooking for the wife of
the second family. The latter decides to
purchase a new range. One complete meal
is cooked automatically, using the proper
techniques. The two husbands come home
and the film concludes with a happy dinner
scene as the narrator emphasizes that
every housewife is the guard of her fam-
ily's health through proper cooking. A
fairly good film for home economics, biol-
ogy, health, and general science classes. . .
Should be useful also for P.-T.-A. and
similar adult groups. There is considerable
emphasis upon the values to be derived
from electric cookery; the sponsor's name
is mentioned only once in the narrative.

A beach is seen crowded with people

factor in the production of Vitamin D.
Other scenes or activities in the sun are
shown. A chart shows area of ultra-violet
rays. Scenes follow to show that modern
living conditions reduce the Vitamin D
benefit of the sun. Less ultra-violet light
is available through the winter months;
this is pictured in snow scenes. Poorly
balanced diets endanger health; a poorly
fed family is seen eating. A bowfegged
baby demonstrates poor bone formation
due to lack of Vitamin D. Poor teeth may
also be caused by deficiency of Vitamin D.
"We see rats which have rickets. X-ray
photographs reveal the calcium deficiency
in the rachitic rats. A normal rat is shown
beside a rachitic one. Foods in which Vita-

The opening scenes show vast clouds
of insects, unchecked, ravaging fields and
orchards. Then the picture shows how
men are carrying on a never-ending bat-
tle against this insect menace. The chief
weapon is poison, and in the following
scenes poisonous compounds are sprayed
and dusted on crops and fruit trees from
pressure pumps mounted on trucks and
from lowsweeping airplanes. That other
violent poisons are useful in other ways
is shown. There are disinfectants, fire ex-
tinguishers; and cyanides are used in ex-
tracting gold from its ore and for harden-
ing steel.
Five members of the alcohol family, —
methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, and amyl, —
are then introduced, and the various proper-
ties they have in common are demonstrated
in laboratory scenes. The uses of these
alcohols in industry are depicted. But the
members of the alcohol family are poisons,
— that is, they interfere with the growth
and development of living tissue. This is
demonstrated by showing the effects of
alcohol and strychnine on growing seeds
as compared with the effects of plain water.
Dr Robert V. Seliger, psychiatrist at
the Johns Hopkins University, is intro-
duced. Speaking directly to the audience, he
claims that total abstinence from alcoholic
beverages is the only way to combat suc-
cessfully the poisonous effect of alcohol
on the mind and body

Sponsored by the Motion picture project,
American council on education. Produced
by Denver high school students. Describes
some of the ways in which health is pro-
tected in a city. Begins with shots of
various public health workers. A sequence
on the water supply begins with views of
mountain -snow, fields and streams. Signs
warning against pollution of the water
supply appear. At a storage lake flsh are
removed by seines. At a water purification
plant water is serated, chlorinated, and
filtered. A laboratory technician places
a sample of water on a sterile agar plate,
incubates it, and counts the colonies of
bacteria. Shots of a girl drinking, a
shower bath, boys swimming, and a sewage
conduit suggest important uses of water.
Views of a sewage disposal plant, scenes
of irrigation activities.
The next sequence is a series of scenes
related to pure foods including shots of a
dairy herd, milking with a milking ma-
chine, and cleaning of the milking stalls.
Milk is transported by trucks and trains
pasteurized, treated with ultra-violet ray,
homogenized, and bottled. A city milk
inspector stops a delivery truck and takes
a sample bottle. In the laboratories of
the Department of Health a milk chemist
tests the milk for sediment, makes a
bacteria count, and determines the butter-
fat content. Several views of the proce-
dures in making bread in a modern bakery.
The production of beef is next considered.
A girl buys fresh vegetables. The pro-
tection of public health in hotels and
restaurants is suggested as an official
takes smears for bacteria count from dishes
and tableware.
The three agencies which promote health
are suggested by views of a church, the
City and County building, and a achool.
A series of shots briefly suggest the work
of the garbage collectors and the street
cleaners. A broom maker is shown at
work. Several scenes of children in a day
nursery. The work of the Visiting nurses
association is suggested.
School health officials weigh children,
examine them, hold conferences with
parents, and administer immunizations.
A clerk in the city's bureau of vital sta-
tistics looks up a birth certificate as the
commentator points out the functions of
this division. A girl is rushed to a
hospital in an ambulance. A girl's physical
education class takes corrective exercises
and plays games. After showers, the girls
dip their feet in disinfectant to prevent
athlete's foot. Views of sunken gardens
and a high school building are contrasted
with scenes of an unsightly city dump.
Dilapidated houses and untidy yards are
contrasted with new low cost houses.
Blood specimens are delivered to the
Colorado Board of Health where pneumonia
tests are to be made. There are views of
laboratory guinea pigs, rabbits, and white
mice as the commentator describes their
importance in research. The importance of
play, hobbies, and creative work for
healthful living are emphasized by the
commentator and by views of boys and
girls playing, and working at their hobbles.
The film closes with views of students
studying together
"Although the film discusses only the
ways of protecting health in Denver, It
ought to be extremely helpful In stimulat-
ing the study of similar efforts made by

his "o.k." Then a group of boys are shown
ready for swimming. We see how the
"buddy system" works. The boys are
permitted to go into the water. Then we
see a diagram of the waterfront, indicating
an approved and safe layout. We have
next a demonstration of the wrong and right
way to handle a boat and then a canoe.
Boys going down a slope to the water are
brought up short when one cuts his foot
on broken glass which is lying al)Out. The
injured boy is taken to the camp doctor
for proper treatment and the boys pick
up the glass. A mother and little girl are
walking along the road and when the child
stoops to pick something the mother stops
her, shows her poison ivy. The child is
taken indoors and given yellow soap to
scrub her hands and arms thoroly. A fam-
ily out on a picnic. A safe place is built
for making a fire. The meal is cooked. A

Two young men arrive at an auditorium
and arrange an electrical safety display.
The audience arrives and the lecture be-
erins. On a screen the audience is shown
how fires were started in various ways and
the damage caused. Suggestions for pre-
venting such fires are given. The first was
caused by an iron left attached and for-
gotten. The next was caused by a too
large bulb shaded with paper. A lamp cord
caused a fire at a bridge party.
Reel 2 begins with charts showing things
to avoid with light cords and a demonstra-
tion of what an unapproved heater may do
to a rug. We see how even electrically
lighted Christmas trees may catch fire.
Another fire was caused by an abused
lighting fixture and a fuse which had been
tampered with. Safety rules are written

Commentator talks about fire from the
early days and we see a couple in front
of a fireplace and then fire cooking and
heating and he speaks about the danger
behind the use of fire in the home. A
lighted match falls and wrecks a house.
Then scene after scene of buildings all
aflame. Every time the clock ticks off
one minute and a half a new fire begins
to destroy a dwelling. How do these
fires start? A street of ordinary dwellings.
We enter one, and see how the average
family lives close to the danger of fire
every hour of the day. Cigarettes, news-
papers, hot ashes in a wooden basket, etc.
But this is no way to start the day. Back
in the cellar the wooden container turns
into a tin container. In the corner we see
another fire hazard — oily rags and waste,
and it is properly cared for.
Here's mother ironing. Company arrives.
She hesitates, but finally goes. The
ironing board soon bursts into flames.
Here's sonny getting up a little late this
morning. He has a nice warm electric
heater. He throws his pajamas over to a
chair. They fall on the electric heater,
and another fire is started. Here's mother
cooking. Junior comes in. He looks
terrible. She leaves her cooking to clean
him up a little. She gets a bottle of gaso-
line to get the grease off of his trousers.
Her cooking boils over. She puts the cloth
with the gasoline right on the oven. She
keeps her hands out of the way but the
cloth goes up in flames.
•Tunior is working on his model air-
plane. He brings the big lamp across the
room, pulling the wire taut. The covering
of the cord is badly frayed. It is right
across his airplane wing. There's a real
fire hazard. A fire smolders slowly, then
catches the airplane wing and is in fiames.
In the evening daddy is reading his paper
and smoking. The phone rings. Mother
answers it but its for father. His
cigarette is left burning and its not sitting
in the ash tray very securely. A breeze
from the window and it goes on to news-

nice breeze to fan it here's a swell fire.
But that's only what might have happened.

"Begins with a general discussion of

classes of people who are particularly
susceptible are mentioned.
Ed McGrath, a telephone company
trouble-shooter, comes home with a chill.
Here animated diagrams are interspersed
to show the inflammation of his lung
His wife puts him to bed and calls a
doctor, who upon arrival notes his condi-
tion, takes blood and sputum samples, and
begins a drug treatment immediately while
waiting for a report from the laboratory
where the sputum is being examined to
determine the type of pneumonia present.
When it is established that the patient
has Type 1 pneumonia, the doctor pro-
ceeds to administer further treatment.
The fever-weakened patient receives fruit
juices, and the nurse makes him as com-
fortable as possible. A drop in the fever
begins.
A later analysis shows the presence of
germs in the blood stream. Serum is ad-
ministered. A day later, the results of
the treatment appear as the patient begins
to improve. There is easier breathing,
much sleep, and a drop in his tempera-
ture. When McGrath is out of danger,
his wife takes over the work of the nurse
and his improvement continues. The doc-
tor comes for a final visit and advises
ample rest, fresh air, and nourishing food
during convalescence.
Animated diagrams show how the
disease clears up in the lung. Precautions
against relapse are next mentioned, and
m closing the narrator emphasizes that
if the doctor is called quickly so that
proper diagnosis and typing may be made,
if the correct drugs and serums are ad-
ministered, and if the patient has proper
diet and a capable nurse, his chances for
recovery are very good. A very good film

The story opens with a fiesta— tango
music, the swishing of dancing senorltas'
scarfs, the clinking of glasses. In the
midst of this gaiety a little girl enters
to ask the Padre to come quickly for her
mother is dying. The hilarious tempo of
the story changes to one of sadness — the
mother of a happy household quietly slips
away.
, A year passes and Consuelo, older
daughter who now mothers the family
causes her father deep worry for she has
the same symptoms which marked her
mother's decline. Sr Lopez is afraid of
doctors, uninformed about sanatoria and
burdened with the belief that tuberculosis
IS inherited. Consuelo. herself, secretly
dreads her doom. But the wise Padre dis-
covers the household's distress and per-
suades them to see the doctor.
Then follow scenes in the doctor's offlce,
the X-ray room and finally the sanatorium.
In all these experiences Lopez learns much
about tuberculosis from the doctor and
nurse and he in turn becomes a missionary
of tuberculosis prevention among his
friends. Not to be overlooked is Pedro,
an upstanding young cabellero. His
serenade "Ciolito Lindo" sung beneath his
sweetheart's sanatorium window would
cure worse things than tuberculosis. Even
the watchman who discovers Pedro behind
a bush, gradually weakens and vibrates
with the song. Of course they get married,
Consuelo and Pedro, but only after as-
surance that her recovery is complete.
Under the benevolent shadow of Our Lady
of Guadalupe in the old Spanish church
the Padre pronounces the solemn benedic-
tion and then —
The scene bursts into the wedding sup-
per where all is vivid and gay and noisy.
Do you remember," says the Padre to
the doctor at his elbow, "that on a pre-
vious occasion I remarked that they are a
happy people? And now I may add, a
healthy people." The music is by San
Antonio's unique Tiplca Orchestra of 50
pieces. There are two versions: Spanish
and English
"A good film for (1) showing that early
diagnosis followed by proper care is es-
sential to successful treatment of tuber-
culosis, (2) showing some precautions
which should be taken to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis, and (3) showing
how tuberculosis may be detected. The
film's chief emphasis is the work being
done among the Spanish -speaking peoples
of the United States. The film will be
useful with all groups interested in health
problems from the middle elementary
grades through adult levels, particularly
in preparation for a tuberculosis testing
program. In the English version previewed
by the panel, the Spanish accent of the
cast adds reality without a loss of clarity
of thought. A Spanish version is also

who plan to marry. Tuberculosis inter-
rupts their plans, threatens their lives.
Everytown's health facilities go into ac-

finding, diagnosis, hospitalization, enacted

nicians. The role of the private physician
is also portrayed.
Roy has advanced tuberculosis. Julie is

of voluntary and official health forces.
Pneumothorax for Roy leads to satisfac-

rehabilitation. The former steel worker
is studied, counseled and retrained in a
job which his physician helps select, by

"Animated diagrams and photomi-
crography combine with natural photog-
raphy to demonstrate the nature, trans-
mission, diagnosis and treatment of
pulmonary tuberculosis. An opening
sequence explains that sunlight and fresh
air are enemies of the germ, but many
city dwellers are constantly exposed to
possible infection. Mary Smith, a slim.
attractive high school girl, is introduced.
She is shown taking tuberculin tests with
the other students, and her test shows that
she lias sustained no tuberculosis infec-
tion. But soon afterward, Mary's tuber-
cular aunt comes to live in the .Smith
home. Several possible means of trans-
mitting her infection are shown. The fol-
lowing sequence of the film reveals the
development of tlie tuberculosis infection
inside Mary's lungs. But this time infec-
tion is walled off by defensive cells and
confined to inactivity in a small cavity.
A few years elapse. Mary, now out of
school, is working. Dieting for .slimness,
she is getting too little to eat, too little
rest and too much excitement. Animation
and X-ray pictures reveal the processes of
reinfection and cavity formation. After
several months, Mary begins to show
signs of the disease and has a medical
examination. She goes to a sanatorium,
where she gets fresh air, correct diet, and
complete rest. In the case of the aunt,
pneumothorax treatment is given. This
process is explained by animation. When
Mary's sanatorium experience has arrested
the disease, she goes home, there to
duplicate the sanatorium conditions until
completely well.

Thomas Parran, Surgeon-Greneral of the
United States Public Health Service, opens
this film with a few words of warning'.
Specially prepared for lay audiences, the
picture tells the story of one woman's
encounter with cancer and presents a
background of educational information on
the subject.
Mary Brown is terrified lest she has
cancer. Continuing the ordinary routine
of her life, she goes in the afternoon to
hear a physician lecture at her Women's
Club. He is speaking on cancer. As he
talks, the picture takes us to laboratories
and hospitals, we are shown research
workers investigating the secrets of the
disease, million volt and 250,000 volt x-ray
machines in action, radium in packs and in
applicators, etc. The lecturer concludes,
"Remember that early cancer can be
cured. Don't take a chance with cancer.
Don't waste time with worry. Don't de-
lay."
Mrs Brown hurries to her family physi-
cian who arranges for her to go to a
hospital at once for a final diagnosis. The
pathologist reports "carcinoma." A team
of surgeons swings into action. A few
days later, Mrs Brown leaves the hospital.
"Mary Brown is going home. Her cancer
was an early one and the prompt opera-
tion saved her life." Later she enlists
in the Women's Field Army to help give
others the information to which she owes
her health.
Dr C. C. Little, Managing Director of
the American Society for the Control of
cancer closes the film with an appeal to
unite against this disease. The laboratory
and hospital scenes were taken at Memo-
rial Hospital, New York, Marine Hospital,
Baltimore and at the National Cancer In-

This is a color film. After general views
of a luxuriant countryside we come to a
native Christian village where Moses
M'Vondo lives with his people. Here Moses
plays happily with the other children of
the village until one day while swimming
it is discovered that he has spots — that he
is "unclean." When his father learns
of his misfortune he takes Moses to the
Mission. He is examined at the Central
Hospital at Elat and his fears are con-
firmed. His father has to take him to
the American Mission for Lepers, Nko'-
esonbo. Here they are greeted by all the
people of the colony and Moses is left until
he shall have recovered. Josie takes him
to live with her and another small boy
named Zechariah. Zechariah teaches Moses
all he needs to know of his new life. He
takes him to the dispensary for treatment
on Saturday and it is he who takes Moses
on a tour of inspection. Men, women and
children are seen occupied with various
industries and crafts. All of the brick used
to build their houses is made right here.
They make furniture, toys, baskets, wooden
bowls, pottery, etc. When the lepers are
called to chapel there is a closeup of the
feet entering the building and then of some
of the faces. These are rather horrible
in that they show the terrible ravages of
the disease. The children attend school
and they have certain athletic activities.
They also are provided with simple enter-
tainment. Finally Moses is thought to be
cured and submits to tests which prove that
lie is. His father comes to get him and
amid the great rejoicing of the colony Moses
leaves for his home. Back home Moses is
particularly pleased to be able to embrace
his small sister

with the usual hospital routine shown,
including examination, laboratory work,
preparation of the patient for operation,
operating room set-up and important steps
in the actual operation. The patient is
then shown at intervals during his recovery
and finally at home again. Comparison is
made between this case, properly treated,
and another which was given castor oil
resulting in rupture of the appendix. It is

the child is dead. He walks through the
town to the dairy whose workers, strangely,
are immune, although sometimes affected
by the mild disease of cowpox. While
there, he notes that one of the town boys,
whose hand had been cut, had an attack
of cowpox. And, Jenner ponders, the boy
had probably held the infected hand of
his dairymaid sweetheart and thus un-
knowingly saved himself from smallpox.
Later, in the doctor's home, the widow
fears for the health of her remaining
child but is assured by the doctor that it
is only stomach ache. Jenner determines
to give the child cowpox and to do it by
scratching the skin. He therefore takes
the disease from the dairymaid's skin and
vaccinates the child. Jenner offers free
vaccinations to the townspeople, but is
distrusted and his home is stoned. His
announcement to the doctors of London
is ridiculed, and he returns home. But
the plague returns and many dead are
again carried away.
To test his theory of immunity, he in-
jects smallpox germs into the widow's
boy, previously vaccinated, and then keeps
the boy under his own roof to note the
results. Fearfully, during the ten-day
period, he watches the boy, whose mother
meanwhile has valiantly withstood the
questioning of her neighbors. On the tenth
day the mother tells where her son is.
A group of neighbors march in a body to
the doctor's home, determined to investi-
gate. But Dr. Jenner appears in the door-
way, the widow's healthy boy by his side.
The shadow of the plague withdraws
from the map. Recommended for general
science classes in the junior and senior
high school. Also of value for college
courses in public health and health edu-
cation." Advisory committee

Let s talk about teeth — Continued
dental health. In the dentist's oflace a
little girl climbs into the chair. We read
that teeth are important because strong
teeth and sound bodies go together and see
children riding bikes, skating, etc. Back
to the dentist who holds a model set of
teeth and demonstrates how they chew
food. Our bodies are compared to engines
which need properly prepared fuel. We
then see rabbits, puppies, a sow, sheep and
a pony as they eat. Again a model set
of teeth and the different kinds of teeth
and their purposes are pointed out. We
are shown that teeth help us to talk prop-
erly. We see a clean well-kept mouth and
an unclean, ill-kept one. Then we see a
baby's mouth, a six-month old mouth, the
mouth of a two-year-old, a six-year-old.
We see an older boy with a neglected
mouth. Now a boy brushing his teeth.
Reel 2 starts out with a demonstration of
the proper food for a growing boy and girl.
Visits to the dentist are advised. Then
comes a demonstration of what happens and
the care necessary if a tooth is knocked
out too soon. Thumb-sucking and finger
sucking are blamed for crooked teeth. The

This is a revised and shortened edition
of a film first issued in 1939. The descrip-
tion given was prepared from a viewing
of the longer film
This color film is similar to "Let's talk
about teeth," listed above but presents more
detail and covers more general ground. It
was produced by the Bureau of dental hy-
giene aided by the Iowa State dental so-
ciety. After a map of Iowa several chil-
dren with missing teeth are shown. Proof
that dental health education is needed is
offered thru showing of youngsters with
bad teeth and facial deformities. Pam-
phlets, books and magazines on the sub-
ject of dental health are quickly shown and
also work in a laboratory where science has
also taken a hand. There are several shots
of healthy, happy children playing. We
read, "Dental health education is a story
of the child. A story which begins even
before his birth." An expectant mother
visits her dentist and is advised on the care
of her teeth and on the food requirements
of her system. He also shows her charts of
a child's mouth at birth and a closeup of an
infant's mouth. Then we are shown a baby
and follow thru to the age of six months
when we see that the first teeth have ar-
rived. We observe a child who is begin-
ning to suck her thumb and see her fitted
with aluminum mitts. Next we observe a
three-year-old and are shown the food es-
sential to the well-being of such a child.
We see the teeth of a child of this age.
At this age the first visit to the dentist is
made. This small boy's mother is instructed
in the proper care of his teeth. Instruction
is given as to frequency of visits to the
dentist and preventive measures and some
of the corrective measures are illustrated.
Foods ncessary for a child from 3 to 15
are shown. There follow many shots of
mouths, children visiting the dentist and
children caring for their teeth ending with
a girl having an attractive well-cared for
mouth smiling at us. Then we turn to a
consideration of what the schools offer
along this line. It is pointed out that
all schools should participate in this in-
struction and we see some such instruc-

Factors in visual depth perception — Cont.
road tracks and then with metal rings
placed one behind the other. Angular per-
spective also produces depth cubes and
we see a plate change from a straight
line, thru an elipse to a circle by altered
camera positions. We see that atmospheric
changes may prevent distinctive objects
from furnishing clues as to their distance.
We see how the relative motion of an
object passing a field of vision helps to
establish distance. This is demonstrated
with two small autos. Then we see the
metal rings again followed by mountain
scenery. That intervening or nearby fa-
miliar objects serve to establish size and
distance evaluations is illustrated. Also that
a nearer object lies lower on the ground
plain and that vertical position is another
guide for discriminating depth. We see
that in accomodation a change of the focus
lens curvature is altered and sensations
arising from changes in accomodations are
fused for distance perception. We see how
various distances appear when the focus is
set for one plain. A demonstration of con-

are four men playing bridge. One causes
some annoyance because he is unable to
hear the bids. Next we see a woman stand-

report card which indicates that an ap-
parently intelligent young girl is doing very
poor work which definitely needs to be
improved. The daughter, Doris, is next
seen mounting her bike and starting off.
Her father arrives home and while he and
the mother stand in the doorway discussing
their daughter's poor showing we see Doris
riding down the street oblivious to an ap-
proaching car which honks at her to no
avail. Doris is thrown from her bike and
although not hurt is of course somewhat
shsiken. She and her parents discuss what
has happened and her mother begins to
think that Doris does not hear properly.
The mother goes to school to discuss this
problem with the teacher and is invited to
watch the procedure of a hearing test
which is about to be conducted. The class
comes in and a nurse explains to them
what is to be done as she sets up the audio-
meter. The regulation hearing test is then
given in some detail. Doris proves to have
far from normal hearing. The mother
visits the nurse and Doris is called in for
further tests. They decide that Doris
should go to a doctor. We then see them
in the doctor's office where Doris is having
her ears thoroughly examined. The doctor
suggests a hearing aid and we are shown
the Western Electric audiphone. Animated
diagrams show in detail the inner working
of the ear. After a few more words of
advice Doris and her mother depart. Doris
is next seen in the classroom where with
the help of her hearing device she is able
to perform confidently and well. Her re-
port shows her improvement. We go back
to the train where our old gentleman is
also equipped with the device and is able

"An explanation of the principles of
friction and lubrication is followed by a
complete explanation of the lubrication of
gasoline engines. The film begins with a
series of simple demonstrations explaining
rolling, solid and fluid friction. Cohesion
between solids and adhesion between solids
and liquids are illustrated, and lubrication
is defined as the process of substituting
fluid friction for solid friction. Solid
friction is further explained in greatly
enlarged views representing two surfaces
in contact.
Following scenes mention the viscosity
of lubricants, contrasting the heavy
greases used for ship launching with the
light oils used in bicycles and sewing
machines. It is explained that automobile
engines run at a speed five times that of
the sewing machines and that the ex-
ploding gases in the cylinders are many
times hotter than white-hot iron.
A cut-away automobile engine reveals
the working of the valves and pistons.
The use of an oil cushion in the bearings
and the working of the piston rings are
shown in animation. Oils of excessively
low and high viscosities are contrasted,
and their defects noted. Next the film
explains how lubricants are supplied to
the points in the engine where they are
needed.
The hand pump and the splash systems
are shown in the early cars in which they
were used. Disadvantages of both sys-
tems are explained. The pump-and-splash
system and the full-pressure system, both
in modern use, are explained by diagrams.
Several types of oil pumps are shown.
As the film ends the narrator emphasizes
the protection which lubrication provides
for modern high-speed engines.
A very good film for use in shop courses
in automotive mechanics and for driving
instruction classes; should be valuable
also in general science and physics classes,
at the junior high through adult levels.

In this color film several ships of the
U.S. navy, our first line of defense, are
seen first. The commentator tells how
the navy is being strengthened not only
thru building of new ships but also thru
lecruiting a number from the merchant
marine. We must have not only righting
ships but also ships to carry supplies, ships
for refueling other ships, ships for carry-
ing airplanes, ships to carry torpedoes
to the destroyers and repair parts to other
ships. Ships are needed also for carrying
food.
Oral statistics are given as to number of
ships in operation, in process of being
built, etc. as we see brief shots of men at
work, designing, planning, forging and
machining, welding and riveting, working
day and night. Millions of dollars have
poured into many states of the union in
the form of jobs or in payment for needed
materials. Many are listed. Quick shots
of launchings. A finished ship can be
used for peaceful trade or for national
defense when needed. We next consider
the ''good neighbor" policy and see the
Argentina brought in to port. Quick
shots of men working on ships and angle
shots of parts of ships, loading of cargo,
etc. Then we see the America. New
York harbor is shown with its fleet of
ships many of which may be used for
refueling other ships in time of war.
Plans of the Maritime Commission are
briefly outlined. Ships are launched. A
summary of trade uses, boats for pas-
senger service and other auxiliary siiips
follows. The American flag waves as the
commentator .speaks again of the new
ships being built for America's fleet. This
seems an honest report of our present
activities for organizing an adequate navy
— adequate for peace, and if necessary, for
war

lifting the vessel high and dry on the dry-
dock. As the ship is raised, men in small
boats scrub the entire bottom of the ship
to remove barnacles and sea-growth. Now
she is ready to be painted. We note that
hulls are first painted black to prevent
rusting, then with a red paint which tends
to kill sea-growth. It is interesting to
watch the men tighten the rivets which
had become loose and caused the ship to
leak. Welders wear goggles and metal
masks. Their work is explained. We see
them straighten the steel keel plate which
steadies the ship in stormy weather. Per-
haps we will remember longest the fine
spirit of cooperation as the men joke at
their work. When everything is 'ship
shape,' the manager of the dock gives the
order through his megaphone to lower the
ship. Within an hour-and-a-half the huge

pany
Water running in a glass and a glass in
a hand serve to introduce the subject of
this film. Rain clouds gather and rain is
seen falling into a brook. Charts showing
the cycle of water are shown and then a
series of brooks and waterfalls. Pine trees
and the services they perform are con-
sidered. We see natural purification of
water — sunlight upon a stream, a water-
fall and water flowing over rocks.
The film then outlines the necessity, in
early times, of settling near brooks and
lakes in order to obtain a supply of water.
Then came the development of mechanical
aids, shown by a well and bucket, pump
and artesian well. Charts then show some
of the dangers of sewer contamination of
water and we glimpse a fever patient in a
hospital.
Now the film takes up the Greenwich
water supply. A map of Greenwich is
shown locating the reservoir. Shots of the
reservoir, the gate house, the pump sta-
tion and the filtration building follow.
A drop of water is examined thru a
microscope and alum is added to cause co-
agulation. Again we see the filters and
also the sedimentation process. Then we
see the chlorine tanks and chlorine added
to the water and bags of lime dumped
into a hopper to be added also. Shots of
the complicated machinery all this requires
come next. Then we see men laying water
pipes. A water meter is shown. This is
followed by montage shots of a boy drink-
ing, boy washing his face, firemen using
hose, dish washing, clothes washing, water
used for cooking and a baby being bathed

Outside the cities and towns, beyond the
mains of a central water supply, the only
source of pure water is found beneath the
surface of the earth. Here rain water,
filtered clean by coming down from the
surface layers, is held and can be tapped
for small supplies. In past years the equip-
ment for drawing water has been poorly
designed, carelessly installed and main-
tained; contamination of the water supply
resulted in the spread of contagion. State
board of health agents investigated, dis-
covered the source of infection, and made
recommendations to insure the purity and
safety of drinking water. The unsafe
features of bored, driven and drilled wells
are illustrated diagramatically and in pic-
tures, together with the correct and safe
method of installation and design. The
film is concluded by a brief summary of
the recommended safety measures and the
importance of observing these recommen-

Dizzy Davis, an old time flyer, is coming
back to take a job with Federal Airlines,
v,here his old friend Jake is division super-
intendent. Dizzy has a reputation for irre-
sponsibility both in a plane and out of one,
and the owners of the airline are displeased
that Jake has hired him. However, Jake
insists that Dizzy should be given a
job. Dizzy makes an illegal spectacular
stunt landing at Newark. He assures
everyone, however, that he is reforming.
In the airlines office Dizzy meets Tommy,
an attractive young avlatrix. One day
Dizzy finds that a date with Tommy
conflicts with a scheduled flight. He fakes
a heart attack to get out of taking his
run, and his place is taken by Tex Clarke,
an old friend. During the day the weather
reports get worse and worse. Tex Clarke
on Dizzy's run, heads int<J some of the
worst weather he has ever hit. The ten-

for Tex increases. Davis and Tommy come
to the office for news, but Tex's radio has
gone bad and the office cannot reach him
In spite of everything Dizzy tries to make
love to Tommy, and gets into a fight in the
office with her friend. Meanwhile, Tex,
flying on the radio beam, aproaches the air
field. He loses the beam and tries fran-
tically and unsuccessfully to contact the
office for instructions. At this point Tex's
wife arrives, and realizing that Tex is in
serious trouble, collapses hysterically. She
accuses Dizzy of having faked the heart
attack to have a date with Tommy and
Dizzy admits that this is so. Tex finally
sees the lights of the air field and tries
to land blind. He comes in too low and
crashes into the telephone wires. His plane

there seems to be no reason for any diffi-

flying high in thick clouds, and doesn't
realize that below the weather is clear.
He has lost the radio beam. Rattled, he
decides to bail out and let the plane crash.
He sends the mail down in a chute and
comes down himself. Jake gets the news
that Payson is safe and that the mail has

which led to the development of motorized
airplanes. Then the development of
motorized aircraft is pictured in a rapid
succession of scenes.
But some men still dreamed of flying
like the birds, without noisy and dirty
motors. The realization of their dreams
is to be found in the modern sailplanes.
In a home workshop, some of the steps in
the construction of a sailplane are shown.
Then the narrator explains how sailplanes
can fly without motor power. We see a
sailplane being towed into the air by an
automobile, and then the use of thermal
and contour currents in keeping aloft is
explained.
A sailplane is assembled preparatory to
flight. After checking the controls and
explaining their functions, the pilot gets in

The camera flies with the plane as it rises
high in the air. The pilot releases the
tow rope and heads for the sea edge,
where he locates a contour current rising
over the seashore cliffs which enables him
to cruise at leisure up and down the
shore, out over the sea and over the land.
The craft banks and turns, under perfect
control of the pilot. Another sailplane,
a two-seater, is encountered, and the two
planes fly together for a short time.
Finally, the pilot skillfully brings his
plane in for a landing.
An excellent film for general showings
and for flight training classes, boys' air-

the film is not of a specialized educational
nature, it should be valuable for stimulat-

"This film uses photography and narra-
tion to explain the requirements and ad-
vantages of automotive service as a pros-
pective vocational field for boys. First the
development of automobiles is sketched
from the early models, and the narrator
explains that our Increased use of autos in
modern life has resulted In a greater need
for men experienced in the work of repair-
ing and servicing them. The film shows
how a good automobile mechanic must be
familiar with many different kinds of
work.
Then various specialized shop jobs are
shown, with the explanation that many
service men in time become specialists
since general service training is a basic
requirement for aJl specialized Jobs. It
is explained that a young man's first job
in automotive service may be that of
helper or stock room assistant.
The values to him of alertness and
constant study toward progress on the job
are stressed, and the student who is in-
terested in automotive service as a voca-
tion is advised to lay a strong foundation
of school courses in physics, mathematics,
mechanical drawing and shop work. The
opportunities In management are sketched,
and the film closes with a suggestion of the
rewards which a young man may gain by
qualifying himself for work in the auto-
motive service field.
A good film for boys' vocational guid-
ance at the junior and senior high levels.
Although the considerable amount of
material included necessitates a somewhat
rapid tempo, the information given Is well-
balanced and accurate. The film Is de-
signed to be shown as one of a series in
high school vocational guidance studies,
and it should prove very effective If so
used. A suitable introduction by the
teacher, a discussion of the points brought
out in the film, and a visit by the class
to a modern garage may be valuable in the
utilization of the film. Photography and
sound are excellent." Educational screen
"Although these films at no time men-

"Today — while we are building our de-

cause it shows us how highway transpor-

tation can serve America in war as well
as in peace. Too, it shows us how the
great industry that has put America on
wheels is motorizing our military forces
. . . The film will acquaint you with the
four million men engaged in keeping the
wheels of highway transportation rolling —
so you will see what kind of fellows they
have to be to get their jobs and keep
them, how tliey work, and the enthu.siastic
way they do the job America has given
them. In fact, 'Singing Wheels' brings
you the song they sing at work — a song
that, in a few words, just about tells the
whole story of highway transportation.
Also pictures the great highway sys-
tems for everybody's use — for the travel-
ing salesman, for the farmer, for the
shipper, for the vacation tourist, and for
the casual Sunday driver — the vast net-
work of travel arteries for everybody's
use, for everybody's profit, built and
maintained by highway transportation.
This first institutional motion picture
about America's motor truck service is
for your entertainment and education —
it embodies no advertising, it sells no
product, and is about everybody's busi-
ness. Recommended for classes studying
transportation, for character training, and
for vocational guidance." Secondary educ.
"With stirring musical background and
almost poetic narration this educational
and entertaining film pays tribute to the
great motor transportation industry. One
of the most effective parts is that which
dramatizes what might happen should all
motor trucks disappear suddenly. The
major part of the film shows how motor
transportation has made itself a necessary
part of modern life. An effective film
for vitalizing the study of transportation
and one that would be admirable for
assembly programs." Tennessee

A 1937 release which won the C.I.T.
safety foundation award of that year
As the commentator talks of people be-
ing unable to pass up the chance to take
a chance there are alternated shots of a
roulette wheel and automobile wheels.
Then in quick succession dice are thrown,
cars are seen making hair breadth escapes
from accidents, trains and cars racing, etc.
The captain of a traffic division then gives
some views on driving. We learn that on
a night when it is pouring rain there are
comparatively few accidents and see that
the reason is people go more carefully be-
cause of the bad weather.
But on a perfect night the story is dif-
ferent and people are inclined to "let it
out" — to race and to act gay and foolish.
We see the plight in which one young
couple find themselves from such racing.
The commentator speaks of the limitations
of headlights. Then follow shots of
people who have grown suddenly careless
because of apparent safety — and of what
happens. A warning is given against
drinking if you are going to drive.
The neighborhood bully of children's
groups is recalled and then we see the
"bully" car, barging thru traffic. A few
thoughts on some of the unintelligent
things drivers still do and a few more on
good pedestrian habits follow. Here credit
is given to our peacetime army of traffic
officers. Then we have some demonstra-
tions of stopping of Plymouth cars em-
phasizing the importance of properly equal-
ized brakes.
Various shots of machinery and the de-
velopment of metals precede the putting
together of cars. A car, built to endure
it, catapults over and over. Cars are built
for dependability but the final touch
in safety lies in the hand on the steering
wheel is the parting thought

Jam Handy made this film for the Chev-
rolet division of General motors. The open-
ing scene is in a juvenile trafHc court
set up to promote safe bicycle riding. A
boy is charged with riding another on the
crossbar of his bike. He pleads guilty.
He is sentenced and must attend a safety
meeting to be held by messenger boys.
At that meeting many safety rules are
given.
The next case in the traffic court is that
of a girl who pleaded guilty to riding a
bicycle not in good repair causing a minor
accident. She is told to visit the local
man who rents bikes and from him she
learns much about caring for a bicycle
and of the joy to be had in riding safely.
Back in the juvenile court a third case
is considered — that of a boy guilty of
reckless riding in traffic. He is told to
spend time with the local police officer.
For him the similarities of riding a bike
and of driving a car safely are pointed
out by the officer and many wise words
of counsel are given him. Incidentally,

Bill shows his fellow farmers, by means
of motion pictures, the benefits other
farmers obtain by marketing their crops
cooperatively. Jake, ultra- conservative,
offers many objections, but is finally won
over to the idea of starting a local asso-
ciation on a small scale. The growing and
cooperative marketing of such crops as
celery, lettuce, potatoes, cherries, cranber-
ries, mushrooms, peaches, apples, and
citrus fruits are shown. "Believe it or not"
scenes show unusual methods of farming

A camel caravan is silhouetted against

We see the iron horse. And now today
we have the tractor caravan — a caravan
of modern engineering. We see them in
the fields, traveling from farm to farm
harvesting the crops as they come. In
the workroom, men work on plans. Ex-
perimental machines are built. Individual
parts are slowly and carefully made by
hand. Large parts are installed.
A map of the United States shows where
tractors are to go. The combines are
seen cutting fields of wheat, barley and
flax. From California, the caravan goes
across the country, harvesting under all
sorts of conditions. This is outlined again
on the map. One in action in Oklahoma.
Every day a complete, detailed report is
made on the performance of each machine.
Changes and improvements on various
parts are also reported to the factory.
Engineers in the field and engineers in the

caravan is in Kansas. Then into the bot-

In the old days land was plentiful but
as newcomers arrived and land became
scarce conflicts arose. In those days it
was first come first served. Such reckless
use of grazing lands made for future bar-
ren wastes. Then came the forest service
with its new order of range management.
Stockmen and rangers were brought to
understand each other and work together
for their common good. We see round-
ups and the moving of cattle from home
ranges to national forest lands. There
are shots of the branding and inoculation
against disease. Stragglers and weaklings
are given a lift in a truck.
Arrived at their summer home the herd
is counted and turned out to graze. Ran-
gers make inspections and we go with one
on his tour. He consults the hired rider
and they compare notes. Given a chance
to recuperate from grazing the homelands
yield crops of hay.
At the first sign of bad weather the
cattle begin to drift back home and when
snow appears they really move. Now they
are off to market. A quick overview of
the improvements to the towns brought
about by this better management and a
shot of our narrator ends the film

This is a Soil conservation service film.
As beautiful scenes of the countryside un-
fold the commentator tells us that much
of America's oldest farming land is in the
Northeast. The serious soil erosion situa-
tion is frequently taken care of by ter-
racing. We learn how terracing is done,
its advantages and see land so cultivated.
Terracing is used successfully for growing
potatoes, tobacco, truck farming and for
fruit culture. Cover crops are planted and
when turned under add fertility to the soil.
It is necessary to inspect the terraces regu-
larly and to keep the channels of the out-
lets clear. Narration was especially clear.
It was given by M. S. Joyce

tion and uses of terraces and other erosion

White fringed beetle — Continued
is shown and is described in detail. Badly
damaged fields of cotton, corn, peanuts,
etc. are shown. A map shows the coun-
ties in which infestation has been re-
ported. We follow the life of these beetles
from the time the eggs are found de-
posited on a twig until they are full grown.
We learn that the larva does the most
damage and that it is an una sexual crea-
ture. We see many examples of their ac-
tivities. We see much of the work carried
on to combat this pest. Research is car-
ried on extensively and methods of eradi-
cation are developed and put in operation.
We see just how barriers are constructed,
pits dug, etc. Reel two concerns itself
with the activities of an experimental sta-
tion and with methods developed for dust-
ing to control the pest, land clearing, etc.
We see how soil is sterilized in some areas
to help in the control. As we look again
on masses of the beetles and at fields de-
stroyed thru their activities the commen-
tator speaks of the long hard fight which
lies ahead before the insect will have been
eradicated and of the cooperation being
given to effect such a desirable outcome

A few introductory remarks are given
pointing out the importance of rice to
Japan. Then we are shown that it is
spring by such signs as branches of flower-
ing cherry trees, two white rabbits nibbling
grass, a goat with a little kid, a small
waterfall, a snake in water and a flower
blooming. Men are shown walking bare-
foot in the muddy rice fields preparing
them for the crop. During these oper-
ations of plowing and raking in the mud
we see several shots of the rake used. A
man makes an adz or small dike such as
surround rice fields. A baby is seen sitting
in a sort of box, crying. The mother quits
working and picks up the baby which is
held up to the camera. The rice beds are
carefully prepared. We see that the land
is never idle for when not growing rice it
is being restored to fertility. A small boy
falls into the mud and is rescued and re-
moved crying. A man casts fertilizer
hither and yon. A woman sows the rice.
A closeup of the rice in the mud. The
mud is carefully smoothed over the seeds.
The rice comes up very thick and is trans-
planted by hand. This reel closes with a
man squatting at the edge of the field to
enjoy a smoke. Reel 2 begins with the
picking of tea from the garden hedge.
Then come shots of silkworms — the worms
themselves and some details of the care
given them and of the sorting of straw
from the cocoons. For some reason we
see a mother nursing her baby, and chil-
dren play and swim in the warm sunlight.
A small girl is shown how to tie a baby
to her back. Several of the amusements
furnished Japanese children are shown — a
man arrives with toys and candy, a sort
of merry-go-round goes through the streets
and children are given rides, etc. Games
are demonstrated. Children are splashing
about in the water. City folks enjoy a
springtime outing. Suddenly we go back
to the rice fields where rice is being trans-
planted. An American gentleman is seen
followed by a number of Japanese chil-
dren— a motley array. One small boy at
the end of the line has on a huge hat.
When he turns around and walks along

This film is intended to reveal the inter-
dependence of science and agriculture in
modern life. It traces the soy bean from
its cultivation in China through its culture
and use in the United States, describes the
plant's characteristics and its value to soil
conservation. Reproduced conversations
treat problems of its cultivation and
harvest. Processes of extracting soy bean
oil and the preparation and use of soy
bean by-products in home and industry are
shown. The producer suggests using the
film in geography and elementary social
studies for focusing attention on social and
economic problems associated with modern
agriculture; in elementary science and gen-
eral science for developing an appreciation
of the relation of science to present day
living; in agriculture and industrial arts to
provide information on the cultivation and
uses of soy beans, and to depict processes
and products of a new industry; in biology
and botany to reveal characteristics of the
soy bean plant and its value to humanity;
in chemistry and physics to show applica-

A presentation of the Forest service. We
are introduced to Casey and his young son
as they sit forlornly contemplating their
barren land. We are given to understand
that wind and drought have wrought this
havoc and Casey is unable to think of a
plan to reclaim his land. A Forest service
official arrives and convinces Casey that
he should plant windbreaks — just as levees
are built to hold back the flood waters of
swollen rivers so will such planting hold
back and divert the wind. Here a map of
the U.S. locating forest projects is shown.
We are shown how people blown about a
city street seek shelter close to buildings.
In a laboratory a man demonstrates with a
small model, an electric fan and a pin-
wheel that a planting can protect the
ground. Casey gives it a try. Sturdy
seedlings from forest nurseries are planted
and carefully cultivated. This shelter belt
develops so satisfactorily that others are
planted. By the time the first belt is five
years old some of the trees can be cut to
permit others to grow better. These pro-
vide good fence posts. The efficiency of
the belts is shown and also how they may
be used for family picnics. We see the
improvement in the soil and the crops.
The outlook of the Casey family is now
a bright one. They are interested in nur-
sery catalogs and we see Mrs Casey feed-
ing her chickens and turkeys

Taken by the Michigan State department
of conservation. After a number of shots
of raging forest fires the film switches to
a view of a classroom where the children
are shown a film on prevention of forest
fires. Next we see men putting up high-
way signs giving directions to the fire
tower, and urging care. Men are engaged
in "burning off." Fire equipment is shown
next to a locomotive and smoking cars.
Men receive instruction in the use of fire
equipment, as we see many shots of what
is now available. A tractor digs a trench,
a truck pulls one of these tractors and
then several tractors are shown in action.
A very special machine for the rapid dig-
ging of wells is shown in action. This
whole digging process is shown in some
detail. In an office a man at a microphone
is giving instructions to people to stand
ready. A fisherman throws a cigarette
into leaves and a forest flre has started.
Up in the flre tower the fire is spotted,
and located. A call for help is relayed on
to other offices and they also locate the
spot and with the information each has
given they are able to locate the exact
place. Equipment is started on the way,
messages are telephoned, men drop what-
ever they are doing and everybody runs to
help. Here a little fox Is seen taking to
his hole in terror. More shots of the news
being relayed along and more and more
men and cars rushing to the flre. A radio
is set up on the field, tractors arrive and
are rolled off of the trucks. Properly
equipped each man is ready to do the
work of 20. We see the tractor cutting
a path, knocking trees this way and that.
The wind shifts and increases in velocity.
Men following a tractor widen the ditch
it is making. The man in control calls
for a back fire. Then follow various shots
of men performing their tasks and shots
also of the raging flre. Deer run madly
through the woods. I<Yom an airplane a
man gives instructions to those on the
ground. A sick woman is re.=;cued from a
cabin which shortly goes up in flames.
Finally the flre is under control altho it
still burns. When night falls large search-
lights are used. A high focus spray is
shown in action. A dead fawn is shown
and then a number of fawns which were
rescued are fed from bottles. Now there

with coiled rope mounts his horse and
rides off. He jumps from the horse and
pretends to be the roped steer, teachings
the horse in this way how to cope with
an animal when it is roped. A new pupil
who does not succeed very well is shown.
Then we see a more advanced pupil. This
time the animal is caught. The cowboy
dismounts, fastening his rope to his horse.
The horse holds the rope taut and the
cowboy is able to approach the steer and
tie his legs. Then we see a cowboy who
knows his job thoroly. He instructs young-

of the farm are indicated, the emphasis
throughout is rightly placed on the cattle,

"A three-month-old Persian kitten tells,
through titles, of his experiences, and
suggests the best ways to care for cats.
After an appropriate introduction. Fluffy
appears in characteristic activities. He
chews shoestrings, stares out of a window,
looks at the goldfish, and plays with a
pencil. He explains that he likes to look
in dark places and under things, and he is
shown as he looks for a mouse. Several
views of the kitten asleep appear as he
says that he can sleep anywhere as long
as he is not bothered. Kitten's-eye views
reveal how big and tall the household
furniture appears to a little kitten. Fluffy
explains that he is usually hungry. . .
He doesn't like baths, but he keeps him-
self neat and clean. His sanitary facilities
consist of a pan and a newspaper. He
says that it hurts when he is picked up
by the nape of the neck; his mistress
demonstrates tlie proper way of holding
him. Views of his paws and claws ac-
company an explanation that he needs a log
to scratch, instead of the furniture. He
says that he won't scratch when you play
with him, unless you play roughly. . .
When he gets into intentional mischief,
he is spanked. . . He doesn't care about
toys. . . He likes simple things such as a
ball on a string. He exhibits his training
by jumping over his mistress' outstretched
hand, and then he sleeps in a box. In
conclusion, he shows how he looks when
normal, curious, angry, hungry, and sleepy,
and then he appears prettily dressed in his
best ribbon to say 'Good-bye.'
An excellent film for use in kindergarten
through third grade in general elementary
studies, including reading and animal life.
Accurate information concerning kittens
and their care is provided in the film, and
the vocabulary is correctly graded. Pho-
tography and titles are good; organization
is satisfactory." Don White in Educa-

First we see a baby in a basket having
a bottle of milk, then children drinking
milk. It is shown that milk comes from
goats as well as from cows. Cows are
milked, milk sent to the nearest receiving
station where each can of milk is care-
fully examined. Milk then goes by railroad
or big trucks to the city. We are shown
the truck method and see a large tank
truck cleaned. Pasteurization is indicated,
the cooling and bottling of the milk. We
are given an idea of the cleaning and
scrubbing jobs necessary to keep the ma-
chinery properly clean. A milkman is seen
making his rounds. Children are given
milk to drink in school. Then we see
some of the questionable methods of ob-
taining milk as practiced in less careful
countries. Another shot in a classroom,

This is the story of milk presented by
Borden's. Borden is seen working in his
room. As he works living conditions thru-
out the country change. Covered wagons
travel west and there are a number of old
time shots.
We swing into the present as children
are seen on the way to school. It requires
energy to perform the various activities
shown and milk is suggested as supplying
much of that energy. Milk, in fact, be-
longs in most diets — even in that of the
small child enjoying his bottle. There are
scenes indicative of the hurried tension of
the business world. Modern living pro-
duces modern ingenuity — in the form of a
mechanical cow. Milk is sold also from
milk bars. Angle shots of tall buildings
suggest the lack of sunlight for city work-
ers. Peaceful country scenes, bathed in
sunshine follow. This countryside is
brought to the city in trucks we hear and
to see how this is possible we go to the
country to see Elsie, the cow.
The voice now changes and Elsie shows
us about her home showing and describ-
ing all the details of her life. Shots back
to Borden's early struggle are occasionally
contrasted with Elsie's comfortable quar-
ters. We see the care, feeding and hous-
ing of modern cows and the methods em-
ployed today in milking, transporting, pas-
teurizing, bottling and delivering of milk
in detail.
Many shots of sports follow in quick
sequence. Back to Elsie, who is a cham-
pion too. Quick shots of calves, testing
laboratories, etc. and spinning bottles

Produced under the direction of the De-
partment of special services of the Denver
public schools and sponsored by the Motion
picture project of the American council on
education. This film presents information
on the application of technolo&y to the
production and distribution of food. A
sequence dealing with the application of
science and technology to agriculture
opens with views of tractors pulling farm
implements. Views of hot-beds and
plants growing inside hothouses suggest
efforts to lengthen the growing season.
There are shots of a turkey, rooster, and
rabbit as the commentator says that sci-
entific breeding and diet have made pos-
sible better meat production.
A sequence on factory processes is in-
troduced by a title stating that laboratory
testing and factory processes develop new
products and new combinations of familiar
products. Milk is sampled and placed in a
Babcock tester to determine the butterfat
content. Men test coffee for aroma and
taste. There is a view of a miniature
mill. The steps from flour to bread are
briefly traced. The dough is mixed,
divided into loaves, kneaded, proofed,
baked, and wrapped; all by machine.
Milk is pasteurized, cooled, homogenized,
and treated with ultraviolet ray before it
is mechanically bottled and capped. Dec-
orations are put on an ice cream pie by
hand and butter is fed into a cubing ma-
chine.
The next sequence depicts modern meth-
ods of preservation and packaging. A
package of quick-frozen peas is opened.
There are close-ups of packages of other
frozen foods. Canning is illustrated.
Foods are displayed in paper, cartons,
cellophane bags, and cans. Sausage
casing are stuffed and twisted into links.
Racks of sausages and hams to be
smoked indicate a method of curing meat.
In a coldroom an inspector stamps meat.
The next sequence deals with transpor-
tation and refrigeration. There are shots
of trucks and freight trains as the com-
mentator states that Denver ships out food
it produces to trade for the food it does
not grow. Maps show that Denver gets
spice from the far East, coffee from
Brazil, tea from China, bananas from
Honduras, pineapples from Hawaii, and
citrus fruits from Florida, Texas, and
California. Men ice a refrigerator car.
The final sequence is on wholesale ware-
houses and super markets. Shots in ware-
houses. Several scenes of vegetable dis-
plays in an attractive market. The film
closes with several views of tempting
dishes as the commentator states that
men and machines work together to bring
you food the modern way
"Although the film was produced for the
children in the Denver schools to show
how their food was grown and prepared
for retail selling, it is usable in any school
class studying foods. . . It ought to

"Outlines America's program of national
defense, with emphasis upon the contribu-
tions of agriculture. As the film begins
the narrator reads a part of the Preamble
to the Constitution, explaining that it is
the American dream for the common man
to enjoy the fruits of our country's re-
sources and production. A brief sequence
on industrial production for defense fol-
lows. Then it is explained tliat under the
nation's farm program the farmers them-
selves have been allowed to plan for ad-
justed production to provide plenty without
waste.
A contrast is drawn between rich soil
and an eroded hillside as the narrator says
that food cannot be produced from ditches
and gullies; thus, terracing the soil is
one of our means of defense. The contri-
bution of the Ever-Normal Granary is
explained. What the farm program means
to America's food consumers is outlined
in the following sequence, as bakery and
packing plant scenes reveal some of the
processes in baking bread and preparing
meat for retail markets. There is an effec-
tive contrast here between Europe's ra-
tion cards and America's food stamps.
The last part of the film begins by ex-
plaining that America has created an army
of temporary soldiers to serve the common
defense. For this army, the farms supply
cotton for tires, uniforms and tents; hides
for boots and saddles; and food in abund-
ance. The film concludes with the thought
that America's farmers have learned new
ways to insure defense against waste and
hunger, and that America's seven million
farms are working to build defense for the
nation." Washington

the three things listed in the title. Rec-
ommended for social science classes."

Greece, Rome, the Middle Ages, the French
Revolution. In rapid succession the film
depicts how bread was made in grand-
mother's day, and how it is prepared to-

great industry. Automatic processes of
mixing and blending the flour are shown,
the preparation and rising of the dough,
the dividing and moulding, the proofing,
the actual baking, then the cooling, slicing,

The purpose of this film is to help in
training the baby and in returning the
mother to normal health and strength. The
nurse and doctor arrive at the home and
after they are admitted and greeted we
shift very quickly to a scene where the
mother is sitting outdoors with her baby
and then with a nurse bringing her fruit
juice. Tlien the nurse is .shown instructing
the mother in the proper foods. The nurse
demonstrates exercises to restore the
mother's figure to normal, and shows some
clothing for the baby. Then she is shown
sterilizing the bottles and caring for them.
A mother is shown nursing a baby. Then a
baby in a high chair is fed cod liver oil
and orange juice. Nurse demonstrates
proper and frequent cleansing of hands
and then it is time for the baby's bath.
The bath completed we shift to a sun bath
and nap. He is given a drink of water
upon waking. Next he is undressed for
bed, given cod liver oil and orange juice,
fed and put into his crib for the night.
Throughout these procedures a clock is
placed to show the proper time for each
activity. At 10 P.M. he is taken up and
fed, and again at 2 A.M. Mother now
takes baby back to the doctor where both
of them are examined. Mother's teeth are

Three small persons approach the
camera. Then a group of children are
seen in a nursery school. A number of
the school's activities are shown, such as
climbing a flight of steps, swinging on
rings, etc. A large group' are shown in
the water. Then children on a slide and
then a group game with two grownups
participating. Now a small boy opens a
refrigerator and pours glasses of milk
for two little girls. Now we switch to
the doctor's office where a mother has
brought her twin daughters for a thoro
examination. Then they go to the dentist
and are given instructions in caring for
and cleaning their teeth as well as to be
examined. "We see now an example of a
deformed face and suggestions are given
for avoiding such a condition. A little
girl demonstrates some of the causes. A
small girl shows how she can take care of
putting away her own clothes. Then we
see the twins in the bathroom washing
and tidying themselves and cleaning their
teeth. One pops into the bathtub and the
other is preparing to do likewise. The
father comes home and is greeted by the
mother and the twins. He gives them a
coin which they run and put into a small
bank. A mother is shown playing with
a child. Children come down stairs. Then
we are shown that medicines, matches etc.
should be kept out of the reach of chil-
dren. There should be quiet times and so
we see a mother with her children by a
radio and looking at a book. Finally
they cluster about the mother who reads
to them. Next we see children going to
Sunday school. Several children ride a
pony and some others watch rabbits in
a cage. Several watch a hen and her
chicks. A nurse shows the proper food for
growing children. A boy watches his
mother cook dinner and then the family
gathers pleasantly around the table. A
child undresses himself and goes to bed,
after opening his window. More scenes in
a nursery school. We see some treatment
for behavior problems. A little boy is
taken to the doctor's office and to the
dentist. Then children properly cared for
are ready for school and we see them on
their way

We have a bit of Gilbreth typewriting
film from 1918. We see Miss Margaret B.
Owen, once world champion typist demon-
strate a universal keyboard. Our atten-
tion is called to the restricted action of
the more skillful right hand and to the
slight use of the "home row." Miss Owen
demonstrates the speed which made her
champion. We are asked to note the over-
load of the left hand. Then we are pre-
sented with a new keyboard, designed to
give simple motion patterns to the common
words. The film attempts to point out
that this keyboard distributes the work
equitably between the two hands and puts
more than two- thirds of the typing in the
"home row." "We are given comparison
of the work on both keyboards. A begin-
ning typist demonstrates the skill attain-
able in a short time. An expert typist does
identical copy on the universal keyboard.
Another typist demonstrates the new key-
board. Then we see Miss Ford typing
identical copy on universal keyboard — some
slow motion here — and then another typist
on the new keyboard
"The film sticks closely to its title. It
tells very little about what a simplified
keyboard is, and does not prove the case
of its superiority over the conventional
keyboard. There is a good deal of repeti-
tion of hand movement. Slow motion is
used sparingly. Content is meager. Of
little value unless accompanied by an in-

This gives a history of salesmanship
from very early times, in dramatic form.
Grandpa tells young Barbara, who has just
returned from a party, the part her family
has played in salesmanship. Barbara was
unimpressed by the party and reports that
they didn't do anything. Grandpa points
out that she made a forty mile trip,
listened to music over the radio, etc. So
many things taken now for granted had
to be "sold" to the public in the be-
ginning.
He begins with the selling difficulties
encountered with the first coal oil lamp.
He outlines the difficulties of selling life
insurance and much of the film is devoted
to the life insurance theme. There are
rather comical scenes at a fair where one
young man has brought a horseless car-
riage and races it against a horse and
we then consider the automobile sales
angle. Insurance is considered again. A
child enters an office and asks for a "pres-
ent" meaning life insurance premiums
which she and her mother have been re-
ceiving since her father's death. Then
Grandpa outlines for Barbara the prog-
ress made in the local grocery from loose
boxed stuff to packaged goods. He con-
siders the drug store, points out also how
doctors had to "sell" vaccination. Back
again to insurance and the responsibility
that goes with the job.
Then a f«w remarks about how much
better times are now and what a fine
country this is. Barbara expresses her
pride in her new knowledge of her family
and says that she thinks they should
have a coat of arms. She goes off to bed
and Grandpa sits thinking. "A coat of
arms?" says he, "Shucks, we have one."
And on the back of the family "heirloom"
watch we see an American flag
"This film shows the place of the life-
insurance salesman in the community.

teacher, and other professional people.

Outside a mine we see little cars full
of coal and then long trains loaded with
it as the commentator talks of the rise
and development of America's industrial
supremacy in this field. We are given
an idea of how coal came to be formed,
going back to the days of prehistoric ani-
mals and learning of the formation of
peat beds and the covering of these beds
with silt and so on. Between scenes charts
show clearly what probably took place in
the forming of coal. A great deal of
footage is given over to a description of
the kind of coal found along the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and a trip is made on
one of their fine trains to a coal mine.
The miners' homes are seen to be neat
and comfortable and living conditions in
their communities are pleasant. Three
types of mines are considered — shaft, slope
and drift. Operations in a typical mine
are then given in detail. We follow the
coal to the loading points for various
destinations. Some of the uses of coal
are pointed out and by-products are in-
dicated. Power is the greatest contribu-
tion and the film closes with this thought

investment, how it provides livelihood
for four million men, women and children,
how it is a keystone in the complex eco-
nomic structure of America.
But behind the scenes is another fac-
tor— the railroad. The film shows the
vast coal handling facilities provided by
the railroads — powerful locomotives, great
shops where workers build thousands of
specially designed cars, great terminals
and huge tidewater coal piers.
Then, the picture deals with the origin,
mining, processing and distribution of coal.
It goes back 250 million years to the time
when the whirling mass of earth cooled,
when dense, dank vegetation spread over
the earth, forming the basis for to-
day's coal deposits. After this the scene
shifts to the present, depicting how man
wrests coal from the mountains by means
of modern machines, how he sorts it,
grades it and then washes it. Authentic
mining and tipple operations are shown.
A series of train operation scenes fol-
low. Coal is loaded into ships. The pier
and dumping facilities are shown in de-
tailed operation scenes. Final colorful
shots show ships flying the flags of many

It is snowing — but inside a house a
coal fire keeps things cozy. A boy opens
a book titled "Story of coal" and then
the film proceeds to tell the story. In an
impressionistic way it shows how the earth
was in a molten state millions and millions
of years ago and how it then began to
solidify causing buckling or the forming
of mountains and valleys. Jungles of giant
trees grew up. An animated diagram
shows the work of the sun on growing
things. Then we have lightning, rain and
even a hurricane. Forests of towering
trees again and the commentator tells how
they grew and died. We see the decay
that takes place in swampy land and the
surf pounding against the shore. All of
these are shown to have helped in forming
peat beds and later coal. The way in
which thick layers of matter were formed
is clearly shown and under magnification
a lump of coal shows the same layer
construction. The pages of the book are
turned and we read "Coal — where it is
found." On another page we see a map
which indicates where coal is found in
the United States. The pages turn to con-
sider "Coal mining." The story carries us
down a shaft and operations within the
mine are shown. After being carefully
gone over and washed the coal is loaded

tion for a great industry. This film tells
of the dramatic development of that in-
dustry by the H.J. Heinz Company
It begins with the very early experi-
ments of the Frenchman Appert in the
days of Napoleon. It carries on to England
where in 1810 the first tin cans were
evolved. Back to Paris where Pasteur hit
upon the plan of sealing the cans by steam
pressure. Then in 1817 food preservation
came to the new world when Mr. Under-
wood arrived from England to try and
sell his ideas and products here. He met
with much discouragement but after a long
hard pull was able to write home that
Americans had adopted English tin can-
nlsters only they call them tin cans. Then
came 1861 and the war enlarged the can-
ning business which an earlier war had

Specially prepared and edited by the

ment of agriculture film footage. First we
see some of the old methods used in re-
fining sugar. Then we proceed to the
process as it is carried on today. Canes
growing. We see the light fluff in which
the seeds are hidden as a man plants in
seed trays. The grasslike sprouts are
observed. These are transplanted several
times. Each bud sprouts and makes a
new cane and we see these canes planted
in the fields. In the fall they are cut
above the ground and new canes permitted
to form from the roots. We see the men
and women at work and some of the
modern machinery used. The cane is
carted off. Then we follow it thru the
refinery, see it bagged, the bags stitched
and dropped on to a conveyor — our sugar
is on the way to the grocery store. Rapid
shots Illustrating the uses of sugar follow —
for sweetening coffee, decorating cakes,
banana splits, candies, syrup and molasses.

"In this film the entire story of Cana-

In the fall and winter the forests echo
with the whine of saws and the warning
shouts of the lumberjacks, as the giant
trees are felled, trimmed and bucked into
sixteen foot lengths. Horses drag the
logs to the skidways, where they are
branded and loaded on trucks. Primitive
roads made by flooding the snow with
water, are gravelled to prevent skidding,
and along them the trucks carry the logs
to the frozen lakes. Then with the spring
thaw, the drive is on, and hundreds of
thousands of logs swirl down the rivers,
occasionally jamming, occasionally needing
dynamite to free them, always calling for
all the skill of the lumberjacks to get
them to the final goal — the great sawmills.
Here modern machinery transforms
them into lumber, while the final product
is graded and then shipped to the mar-

W^hile a short history of the silk industry

It is pointed out that the manufacture
of silk has been introduced into many
European countries. Eggs are again seen,
this time in conjunction with the mulberry
buds breaking into leaf. Then we see a
baby silkworm emerging from his egg, and
see that he has a voracious appetite and
grows rapidly. The skin shedding process
is shown. This three inch long silkworm
is studied in some detail. There is an
excellent sequence of the worm as it winds
the silken thread around and about its
body. Then we see completed cocoons. A
cocoon is opened so that we may see what
goes on inside. Ten or fifteen days having
elapsed, the moth breaks through one end
of the cocoon. Mating then takes place.
The female next lays her eggs — completing
the life cycle.
The cocoons are put into hot water and
the threads loosened and twisted together

An attempt is made in this picture to
show how a modern art curriculum is used
to train students to meet the problems of
our modern world. First a globe is seen
spinning, then we have an American flag
against the sky. The single word "Power"
is followed by shots of powerful machinery,
the word "Transportation" by the wheels
of a train, "Congestion" by a street full
of automobiles, "Speed" by a U.S. mall
plane. For "Industry" we have factories
and oil wells. "Storage," "Amusements,"
"Recreation" and "Humanity" are also
represented. Titles explain that art is now
a definite part of living and no longer
considered a skill. Art problems are ever
present and are solved well or poorly.
We see a regimented class wherein all
deal with the same problem in the same
w^ay. The film points out that such a
method is inadequate for the needs of
today. An interesting marching demon-
stration is given showing how the expected
pattern may be changed. Then we learn
that to meet the needs of all students
a new art room has been created at John
Marshall Junior high school in Pasadena.
In this room everybody works at different
problems and different methods of solving
problems are being employed. Many tools
and supplies are available in a room of
this sort. Scenes in a pottery and in a
wood carving studio follow. A girl working
on a block print. Girls are seen studying
their own costume problems and boys
giving a thought to ties. The reel ends
showing rows of dresses in a shop. Reel 2
opens with a class demonstration. Color
is considered. Some Swedish articles are
shown, an attractive aquarium, shelves
of models. A bulletin board is shown as
a means for keeping up with the news.
The teachers desk is empty except for
a bowl of flowers and we see that the
center of activity is no longer here. A
boy leads a class discussion. Here we
have several shots of groups at work.
We see some of the work done in the
community playhouse. We observe a craft
project, consider the gift problem, and
study flower arrangement. Bjmar Hansen
is seen at work. Home arrangement is
studied. Reel 3 gives us an idea of the
way the youngsters are graded upon their
improvement and ability to get along with
their fellow students. Girls are shown
working with plaster. Mosaic work is
shown. There is a shelf of reference books
available. We see a cartoon, a house and
garden project, consider design, art in
business, art in avocation and civic art.
Reel 4 opens on a busy classroom. We
are shown examples of various work — the
commercial art, illustration, design, cos-
tume, art for the stage. The art club
is considered, art in the cafeteria, school
beautification. We see the art teacher ad-
dressing the class on history. We con-
sider art in food, art in printing. We visit
the drafting room, see art considered in
the wood shop. Then on red tinted film
we see a house surrounded by trees,
views of gardens, two parrots feeding and
flower arrangements

A number of homes shaded by trees are
shown first. Then a new home is shown
and a man approaches with a small shade
tree. The roots are protected from drying,
the spread is measured and the proper size
pit prepared. Peat moss or similar ma-
terial is mixed with the soil, bruised and
broken parts are cut back or removed.
The tree is placed in the pit and the soil
properly replaced. Necessary moisture is
provided, and some Davey tree food. The
trunk is protected from sun scald and
borer attack and fastened with guy ropes
until its roots become anchored. The top
is reduced to compensate for the loss of
roots and any weak v-shaped forks may be
removed.
The latter part of this film gives a
quick idea of the methods used success-
fully to transplant large trees for im-

Provides a brief history of architecture
m England, with examples from the
Druids' Stonehenge down to modern steel
and concrete buildings. We see the use
of stone in early Saxon and Norman
churches, and later Norman and Gothic
cathedrals showing the basically English
developments of the Gothic style. The
domestic architecture of the Tudor period
is illustrated in early half-timbered cot-
tages and Elizabethan manor houses of
brick.
Next, the British adaptation of classic
styles to English temperament, country-
side and building materials, as exempli-
fied in the work of Inigo Jones and Chris-
topher Wren, who used materials such
as Portlandstone, red brick and slate.
Examples of beautiful English country
houses.
Shows massive structures for public use,
such as bridges; and both public build-
ings and domestic architecture, modeled
on Gothic and Grecian patterns. Modern
buildings are shown to be designed by
their need for light, sun, air and heat.

The first part of our film leads us
through the quiet and sleepy little town to
the Notre Dame de Chartres with its two
belfries so entirely different in style.
There are many statues and groups carved
by great sculptors whose names now are
not known. We see Christ in a procession,
his apostles, the people and the martyrs,
the patriarchs and the prophets, as well
as episodes in the life of Our Saviour and
the "Virgin Mary, accompanied by music
specially composed and sung by a choir.
The second part conducts us through
the interior of the cathedral. In the radi-
ant light coming from the stained glass
windows we see the carved groups in-
crusted in the stone corners around the
choir, representing the life of Jesus
Christ and the Virgin Mary, executed by
the master sculptors of the XV and XVIII
centuries. In the third part of the film
we come to the cathedral's chapel — the
Chapel of Our Lady of the Pilar — or chapel
of the celebrated Black Virgin. Gounod's
"Ave Maria" is now heard. The sacred
"golden hearts" hearts hanging in the Ma-
donna's chapel, offered by the faithful,
shine. To their luster is added the flick-
ering lights of hundreds of candles which
fill the Virgin's chapel. The narration Is
in English
"May be useful in giving an impression
of the architecture of the Cathedral of
Chartres, and the use of religious symbol-
ism in statuary and windows. The photog-
raphy and music in combination will prob-
ably be quite effective in creating a re-
ligious mood common to Gothic Cathe-
drals. It is an interesting study in the
interrelation of music and architecture.
There is very little motion in the film.
The photography is good from the view-
point of composition, though it is quite
evident that lighting conditions in the
Cathedral were poor. It will probably be
used with great success at the high school
and college levels. It may be of particular
interest to Catholic schools." Am. council

The film continues with clear and simple
lessons on the tracing of drawing on hard,

ting, and finishing processes. A sculpture
is made with slow movements so that the
details may be studied closely. This film

The technique of modeling a vase on the
wheel is demonstrated by Eric Hellman,
graduate of the University of Copenhagen.
Starting with a piece of clay on a foot-
powered wheel, the processes of centering,
shaping the bottom, lifting the sides, and
shaping and finishing the vessel are shown.
The vase is carefully lifted off the wheel
and left to dry in the air. It is then fired
in the kiln; when cool, the vase is dipped
in the glaze preparation and again baked.
The final shot shows the completed vase
"The technique of molding a vase on a

Silent titles are unnecessary and were not

"A very good film of its type. Should
be of value as a direct classroom aid in

scenes were somewhat wasted because the
artisan's hand obstructs the camera's view

An artist is seen at work. He draws
with brush and with pencil. He places
the stone upon a press and wets the sur-
face thoroughly with water. He passes
an inked roller over it. An animation of
the process showing simply the principle
of lithography follows. The printer next
lays the paper upon the inked surface of
the stone. He passes the stone through,
under pressure from a bar above, forcing
the paper into close contact with the ink.
He removes the top pad and carefully
pulls off the reproduction. Paper and
stone are shown and then a newer devel-
opment— the metal plate. The surface of
the metal plate is moistened and also the
ink roller is passed over. As this printer
takes off a modern lithographic proof, we
see an Important intermediary step, called
"offset."
Frank Vlning Smith is painting. Then
we see a photo studio and consider the
application to commercial art. Use of
filters is shown. Highly-specialized artists
take up the work of color correction of
each plate, to correct and supplement the
work of the camera. The artist carefully
studies the gradation of color values on
the photographic plate. We have some
close view corrections. Another photog-
rapher makes screen negatives, in order
to obtain printing texture. Another plate

Modem lithographer — Continued
maJcer photographs a proof plate on sensi-
tized metal, from each negative. When
proofs of these test plates have been
printed over each other, a check is made
by a supervising craftsman to assure au-
thentic reproduction.
Xow another plate-making operator
brings in a large sensitized plate on which
he makes multiple prints. Modern mass
production is evident in a huge photo-
offset press room. Thus, a million recipe
booklets, effectively presenting their mes-
sages to a million housewives emerge. A
few suggestions of varied uses follow —
using fruit, ham, cattle, elevated trans-
portation, service station business, Santa
and a ship
"Describes in detail the techniques of
lithographic artists and the processes of
duplicating black and white and color orig-
inals by means of direct and photo-offset
lithography. The roles of the commercial
photographer and the modern printing press
in the mass production of attractive art
prints, including advertising materials, are
portrayed. The relation of commercial art
to problems of present-day living is indi-
cated. The film thus depicts adaptations
of creative art to requirements of the
machine age. It is thought-challenging
from the points of view of the artist, the
technician, and the social observer alike."

"This film was designed to show the
chemical end of the motion picture in-
dustry. The commentator, with the aid
of diagrams, explains the photographic
process. Diagrammatic drawings of silver-
bromide crystals are shown and we are
told of the chemical reaction that occurs
when light falls upon them. There are
experiments illustrating what occurs when
the crystals are given exposures of dif-
ferent intensities and how they receive
and store the latent image. The following
sequence deals with the different chemi-
cals used in the formation of the de-
veloper, and the fixing bath. A compari-
son is drawn between the 'dark room'
operations of the old days and the new,
modernly equipped laboratories. The film
closes showing a positive print being made
from a negative.
An excellent film on chemistry and
physics. Commentary is good and the film
is beautifully photographed. May well be

Henry Hull presentation. English libretto
by John Erskine. We have here two scenes
from "Pagliacci" and this presentation is
a blending of the voices of operatic stars
with the pantomime of stars of the drama.
Henry Hull as Canio, head of the strolling
players, has just learned that Nedda love.s
another. Though his heart is broken Canio
goes on with his act. The villagers gather
for the play, laughing and making merry.
The show must go on
"The idea is good. Only the chorus work
was agreeable with the pantomime. The
solo pantomime distracting and overdone.
Those familiar with the opera will like this
version less than will those not acquainted
with it. Must be further perfected to be
satisfactory and entirely enjoyable. . . Has
excellent possibilities for classroom use.
Excellent singing and good acting, all
together giving an idea of a famous opera.

This film opens with views of boys and
girls climbing a mountain. After a snow
fight, they slide down the mountain in
the snow. In the valley below they walk
along streams and wooded trails to a spot
where they build a campfire. At the lodge
in the evening the group gathers around
the fireplace. There is rest for tired
muscles and treats for brains in quiet
games. One group plays camelot, a boy
and girl throw darts and another couple
play table tennis.
Returning to outdoor sports, a bad-
minton game is shown in progress. A boy
takes candid camera shots of the players,
then goes to the airport, the capitol and
the swimming pool to take more pictures.
There are shots of boys and girls playinff
"water-keep-away" and diving. A boy and
girl enter a library. A girl is reading at
home when a group of boys and girls
arrive for a party. They turn on the
radio, dance, play games, and enjoy re-
freshments.
An enjoyable educational experience is
suggested by a visit to the Museum of
Natural History. Another kind of fun is
depicted by views of the crowd, the cheer-
leaders, and the players at a football
game.
The final sequence is on winter sports —
tobogganing and skiing

to its exact niche in the storage vaults

The frequent situation, when films that
are ordered are 'out,' is shown and the
method of meeting same through mul-
tiple choices of customer or by duplicate
.prints of the subject. There are whole-
some bits of gentle admonition regarding
mistakes and shortcomings, often quite
needless, on the customer's own part in
the transaction, which should help reduce
greatly such instances. When they still
■occur, the skilled distributor finds ways
to correct them.
Wherever it is shown, this film should
make decidedly for better understanding
and more sympathetic cooperation be-
tween customer and distributor." Edu-

Presented by International educational
pictures. Back in 1600 B.C. Egrypt used
shadow pictures. Then Leonardo da Vinci
happened accidently on a camera of mir-
rors, which he later improved. In 1640
A.D. Kirther invented a magic lantern.
Then came the urge to add movement and
we see a comic figure which was used.
In 1804 in England Dr Rodet demonstrated
persistence of vision. In 1835 Plateau in
Belgium added his contribution and in
France in 1850 Daguerre invented the
photographic wet plate. In 1860 Colman
Sellers in Philadelphia illustrated synthetic
imotion by photographing poses and then
Edward Luydrid demonstrated action by
instantaneous photographs. In New Jersey
in 1886 Thomas A. Edison built his first
moving picture machine. In 1889 at
Rochester, George Eastman invented flexi-
ble celluloid film base. In 1890 Edison
■demonstrated his first movie talkie. In
1893 we had the world's first motion pic-
ture studio — the "Black Maria." Examples
of pictures made on the old cylinder ma-
chine are given. There follows a sort of
rapid kaleidoscopic viewing of films pro-
gressing thru the years. Then we see the
jnutoscope, an early rival of the Edison
kinectoscope. Chalk talks follow, then a
portion of a film made in 1906 which was
the first animated cartoon. Diving is seen
at regular speed and at slow motion. A
parade gives us fast motion. We have
next the microscopic filming of the eye
of a fly taken from one of the scientific
films by Louis Tolhurst. We are given an
example of an old silent film. Then in
1928 came sound and we are given an ex-
ample employing most of the sounds we
have become accustomed to hearing — talk-
ing, singing, whistles blowing, bands play-
ing, etc. A portion of a cartoon is given
next. In 1934 sound was improved. We
have the voice of Irene Dunne. Then as
the commentator summarizes a little we
have views inside churches, meteors fall-
ing, etc. A plaque to the memory of
Thomas Alva Edison is shown and a pic-
ture of him, up in the clouds

with and without these filters give an

"A good film for presenting some

suggests some of the improvements which
have been made. It is suited to use with
camera clubs, motion picture appreciation
classes, or for general auditorium pur-

"The Type II puppets differ from Type I
in that they have faces with built-up
features — otherwise they are just alike.
The process of raising the features com-
mences with making the frames for the
eyes, nose, and ears, of wire. When the
wire has been inserted and fastened to
the sock, papier mach6 is made to cover
the frames. The process of making the
papier mach6 and the ingredients are care-
fully depicted. When this mixture is of
the correct consistency, the features are
moulded and fastened to the already in-
serted frames. Mixing the paint and dec-
orating the features is shown to aid the
beginner in determining the proper shading
and the correct procedure. A method of
steadying the hand while painting con-
cludes this half-reel. Models of this type
of puppet are shown in action to give the
beginner an idea of the imaginative figures
that may be created. Continuity and study
sheets are included for study." Producer
"A simple puppet theatre is shown in
the course of construction. The style of
the 'stage' is as elementary as possible, so
that the beginners may follow it clearly.
A 'curtain' is constructed from an old
roller shade, and decorated. Methods of
keeping the puppets on an even line dur-
ing the course of their action are clearly
reproduced. When the stage is completed,
a short play, using the characters of
Hansel and Gretel, is produced for a group
of children assembled to see the finished
product. Various other characters appear,
and scenes from both front and back stage
are included. This reel may well serve as
an inspiration for the beginner. . . Con-

"The film follows the making of a pup-
pet of this type from beginning to end. In
making a puppet, the material must be
formed into workable character. In this
particular puppet, the finger stall is first
made with light cardboard and glue, to
which the cotton head filler is securely
fastened. A sock is pulled over the filler
and finger stall and cut one inch below the
stall. The operation of making the face of
the puppet is then shown in complete de-
tail, from sketching and painting the
features through fastening the hair in
place. The dress for the puppet is made
from a pattern clearly viewed in the pic-
ture. When the dress is sewed to the now
completed 'head' of the puppet, it is ready
for use. Several Illustrative puppets of this
design and make are then shown. . . To

this fast and dangerous gaine we see two
men in an ofl[ice examining the basket used
in playing the game. Then follow slow
motion shots of a game. Men sitting on
the sideline are shown following the game
with interest — their heads move almost
rhythmically. When the ball is knocked
out of bounds these men jump to retrieve
it. In some detail we see how the ball
is made and weighed, then a box of them
is given to the "ball boy" who delivers
them to the players. A player tests several
by bouncing them until he finds one to
his liking. Then we have a closeup of a

Flashing blades dash around the arena
in a competition of stamina and daring.
Here in the open they race with the zero
breezes cutting their faces and tumbles
bruising their bodies. Free style skating
is the headline attraction of the ice car-
nival, and even youngsters participate.
Single champions raise the plaudits of a
critical audience with spins. A young lady
twirls on her skates. Native costumes
offer a diversion to a carnival. A bear
dressed in a nursery rhyme costume takes
to the steel blades. Four skaters carry-
ing a crown are followed by a spectacle
abounding in thrills, speed and comedy.
Dance interpretations on speeding blades

plows opening the roads and railroads to
skiing areas as the skiers wax their skis

Short scenes show spills, skiers in bathing

horse and automobile. Some enthusiasts
use wings to increase speed, but one falls.
Next scenes of some of the famed European

This color film begins with beautiful
views of the mountain scenery. A dog sled
approaches. Then we see horse drawn
sleighs, ice skating, hockey, etc. Each
scene is wiped out as a new unfolds and
this may be disturbing to some. There are
many shots of fancy skating. We see the
toboggan slide and the snow plow at
work. The Badger Pass ski house is seen
almost buried in the snow. People arrive
here by bus and auto. Tables and chairs
are arranged here for eating, and the
crowds do not seem to mind the cold.
Many skiers are seen getting their skis in
order. We see the "upski" as it takes on a
load of people to haul them up the steep
incline. Demonstration of the slalom. Up-
ski arrives at the top and after disembark-

start the rest of the climb to Inspiration

The tribe of Ussurians or Udes are

Even the children help to lay in the

"H. V. Kaltenboi-n. . .brings one of the
keenest analytical minds in modern jour-
nalism to the interpretation of the motion
picture news of 1938. . . Of this review, he
says: 'Each scene is a moving, dramatic
page from the vital histoiT of 1938. We
see war raging in China, and across the
world in Spain. We see Austria occupied
by Nazi troopers. We see the world's peace
saved, and Czechoslovakia's independence
sacrificed across the conference table by
the two prime ministers and the two dic-
tators who are the Big Four of Europe.
We take you behind the scenes with the
stage managers of the World's destiny and
see the map changed over night. But all
is not war and strife. The surge of events
which made the past year one of the most
thrilling chapters in history, ends on the
note of peace. For the three Americas look
toward Lima, Peru where hope and in-
spiration for peace in the New World
emerge out of the Pan-American Confer-

"The King and Queen of England visit

meaning of these events for America and
for Americans? This film takes you into
a typical American home and lets you
hear Mr. Average American give his con-
cept of the year's news. He is addressing
his son. He tells him that the biggest
news of the year is the great white light
that has fallen upon the Constitution of
the United States and upon the American
Bill of Rights. He tells the boy how re-
pression of speech and repression of press
have thrown into high contrast our own
freedom of speech and freedom of the
press. He describes the ravages abroad of

freedom in all types of worship." Distribu-

"Conflicting theories in regard to Cap-
tain Kidd's treasure are here illustrated.
We see Kidd in prison in 1701 under sen-
tence of death. He writes a letter to the
authorities promising to lead them to his
treasure if, in return, they will spare his
life. He is hanged, however, and the
contents of his letter made public. . .
Three present-day business men . . . dis-
cuss a plan for finding the Kidd gold.
One of them says his information will take
them to a small island off the coast of
Madagascar. A dramatization of the story
he tells shows the pirate and his band
attacking a ship, finding a treasure chest,
burying it. Kidd shoots the two men who
know the hiding place, but draws a crude
map of the location. The business man
claims to have this map. Another of the
three men conjectures that Kidd was not
a pirate, but had been commissioned by the
King of England, and that his crew mu-
tinied and seized the chest.
It should be useful in stimulating imag-
inative writing in high school English
classes. It might also be of interest to
college students who are doing historical
research." Advisory committee

"This film, after a brief description of
the populous and industrial vaJley between
Edinburgh and Glasgow, shows the activi-
ties of Leith, its Eastern Gateway. It com-
mences with views of busy streets, crowded
dwellings and tall factory chimneys, draw-
ing attention to the fact that Scotland is
densely populated in the lowland belt in the
middle. . . We see vessels of various kinds,
sizes and nationalities on the Firths of
Clyde and Forth. A diagram shows ]-.eith
as part of Edinburgh. Panoramas of the
docks follow. . . There are good shots of
both dock and city life in this film. . . The
diiterent ways of handling varying cargoes
are shown extremely well. The teaching
notes state that this film is intended pri-
marily as a regional geography film, but it
does not deal so much with a region as
with the topic 'cargo', on which it is
quite good. The term 'channel' is used in
an unusual way, and would probably mis-
lead a child. The caption 'Most people
black' needs to be replaced by a less ridicu-
lous one. The photography is very good,
and the speed of presentation and commen-
tary are both good. As a classroom film
for the teaching of geography and as a gen-

States. Scenes and statistics give the
proportion of Swedish people engaged in
agriculture, industry, and other types of
employment, as well as the physical na-

railroads, telephones, the state-controlled

, A railway train makes a long steep
climb to a village in the Swiss Alps. On
the village street we find Trudi Naegeli
and her brother Hans, who often linger in
the village to see the tourists arrive.
On their way home, they stop at the shop
of a village woodcarver, and with them we
see a figure of William Tell and many
carvings of the cattle so important to
these people. Inside the store, they ex-
amine clocks of all shapes and sizes.
When they arrive at their home, they
converse with their grandfather and
grandmother about the tourists and about
plans for tomorrow. The conversation is
in a German dialect common to Switzer-
land.
Preparations for tomorrow's trip far up

graze, are begun. As they eat lunch, they
listen to radio music from the outside
world.
Father Naegeli tends the village cows.
Every day after milking, he makes cheese

brother helps his father with the work.
Brother is seen, harvesting hay.

Blossom time marks the return to school
of Japanese children. Six year-olds are
seen learning courtesy and respect. Rough
drawings are the basis of all writing and
printing. Youngsters, surrounded by gran-
deur, are taught in the fields how to
transfer the beauty of their mountain
homes to paper and canvas. They also
learn to break down isolation by homemade
radio receiving sets. Respectful greetings
to their teachers begin the school year and
every school day. A first reader. A fifth
grade class studies agriculture. The class
fares forth by boat for study in the fields.
They are taught methods of irrigation,
the modern way in contrast with the
primitive tread-mill.
Older children help the younger with
their lessons. But its not all work after
school, for Japanese children learn early
that healthy bodies make bright and
healthy minds. In fishing villages in
Japan, the arrival of the fishing fieet is
always an event. But school comes first
and there is no tardiness here. A great
majority of these young people will prob-
ably follow the sea, therefore, many of
the courses are built around the fishing
industry. A science class is seen study-
ing. Another class learns modern adapta-
tions of old Japanese songs and we hear
a snatch of the actual singing. And at
least once during the school day exercise
for the body is taught.
Rhythmical fitness is considered one of
the most important courses of education.
There is a universal diet for the children
which stands high on the program, teach-
ers cooperate in the preparation and meals
are eaten under the teacher's supervision.
On their way to school some children pay
obeisance at a patriot shrine. Their
schools are big and modern, light and
airy. The cities being commercial centers
there are many classes that prepare the
pupils for industrial life. Girls are taught
machine sewing as a vocation. Naturally
dress design and layout are important
phases of this study. Here is the tradi-
tional hand needle work. The pupils fit
and finish the models themselves. Culture,
knowledge of proper etiquette is of first

Produced by the Dodge division of the

and Leila Roosevelt and presents an ac-

The film opens with a few shots of
children playing with an unusual boat and
leopard kittens. This brings about a
natural introduction to the family. The
parents point out the path of their trip
on a globe and then follows the exciting
and unusual story.
There are many shots of beautiful
pagodas and gem-encrusted temples in and
near Rangoon in Burma. There are ex-
cellent shots of a most unusual water
wheel made of bamboo and rotating on a
teakwood axel. The expedition visits the
once thriving but now dead city of
Padaung.
A sequence is devoted to the odd
"giraffe neck" girls and one girl actually
permits the removal of the brass collar.
There are most interesting shots of
leg-propelled native boats used for trans-
portation at one stage of the journey.
Soon after this the expedition proceeds on
foot.
Much footage is given over to the ele-
phants— working in the teak wood forests,
hauling logs, caring for their young, bath-

our expedition mounted on elephants.
Something of the majestic feel of this
mode of travel is conveyed in the shots
that follow.
Finally the party arrives at the village
of the snake worshippers. They are
permitted to accompany a priestess up the
mountain side and to photograph her as
she makes her symbolic offering to the
king cobra. It seems that no male child
has been born in the village for over a
year and to appease the snake god the
priestess must kiss him on the head three
times. This terrifying but awe-inspiring
performance is shown in detail

tal of French Morocco. Contrast between
the old and the new is the theme of this
visit to Morocco. You feel the resplendent
Oriental atmosphere of palm -lined streets
with modern buildings in contrast to the
dingy houses of the old city.
Venders of their wares are shown en-
gaged in basket weaving, rug making,
and the century-old industry of produc-
ing Morocco leather articles. Though
primitive in their methods, the natives
produce articles of rare value.
Commentary gives an excellent histor-
ical background of Moorish culture and
points out the industrial activities and
influence of Mohammedan religion on life.
Notable as an example of a locality where
native culture has resisted change and
remained fixed for over a thousand years.
Recommended for social studies in
junior and senior high school." Advisory

music. This film was produced in the
French African colonial area, and has
the tang of Africa overlaid with French

"An intimate filming of tribal customs
and primitive existence in the kraals, and
an unstaged picturization of wild life in
its natural habitat.
Rounding the Cape of Good Hope, a
brief visit is made in the great modern city
of Capetown, from which quick transition
is made to the rolling plains of the interior,
and finally the jungle itself. . . The
humped African cattle are guarded jealous-
ly, and the size of a man's herd estab-
lishes his position in the tribe as well as
the number of wives he may have. Mark-
ings on the face and body designate the
wearer's relationship to family or sect.
Children squat on the ground of the village
street while the women procure milk from
the cow for immediate consumption on the
spot. Monkeys play with and plague the
youngsters. A father teaches his young
how to build a fire by the same method
that now is taught all Scouts.
In contrast is one of the rarest of movie
shots ever to come from Africa. It is a
sequence in which a father lion teaches
his cub something about the rough ways
of the jungle. The ferocious African ele-
phant is shown in its natural settings, and
then trained to do the "hard work of the
jungle. Baby lion cubs guard the den in
the absence of their parents. There are
herds of zebra, giraffes and other denizens
of the jungle. A fine closeup study shows
a magnificent specimen of lion at the
water- hole.
Native tribal dances are witnessed, as
is the novel way in which native girls flsh
in the rushing rapids of the Zambesi. The

It begins with the French Canadians in
the eastern part of Canada. Glimpses of
their life are shown and the scene shifts
to views of the Scotch groups located in
the same part of Canada. After this we
see the fishermen, lumbermen and coal
miners, all from eastern Canada. Many
views of Toronto are given. Then the
scene goes across country showing views
from Calgary, the Canadian Rocky Moun-
tains and Vancouver. The purpose of this
film is to show the different types of life
in Canada and its democratic make-up.
Will be useful in promoting a better
understanding of Canada and a feeling that
Canada is as much a "melting pot" as the

"A travelog, a scenic film or a record
of British Columbia that covers all the
diverse high lights of that province, but
which still has unity. . . A movie that is
technically superior to the best theatrical
travelogs, and certainly more entertain-

The continuity ... is ingenious and
suavely followed. A girl gets off a Cana-

finds a 'Mountie.' To him, she puts the
problem, 'What should I see in British
Columbia?' The Mountie is somewhat
taken aback, but he gradually recalls
things to tell a tourist, and the picture
unfolds his story. Heffernan like, there
is a surprise twist at the end, which we
shall not spoil by telling.
Discussion of 'Hail, British Columbia!*

mention of the magnificent logging se-
quence, the clever camera work in pre-
senting a story of a bicycle ride, the
beautiful scenic shots and Canada's

the rugged cliffs looking out over the blue
Pacific. Intimate glimpses of native life
are provided in many scenes, including
views of native market places and com-

"Four novels framed by a prologue and
epilogue. . . Different in content. . . Dif-
ferent in location. . . Different in land-
scape, people, customs. Opposite in rhythm
and form, they create a vast and multi-
colored Film-Symphony about Mexico.
Four Mexican folk-songs accompanying
these novels." Thus Sergei Bisenstein
described the conception of his film, "Que
Viva Mexico!" on which "Time in the
Sun" is based
It is a love story, of the people for the
land and of the sun for the people. Bach
of the four "novels" are characterized by
a love story set against characteristic
backgrounds; the two lovers on the lagoon
in ancient Mayan days; the wedding
festival of Tehuantepac, matriarchy, with
the shy bridegroom and Amazonian bride;
the peon of the "Maguey" episode, whose
bride is raped by the hacendado; and,
finally, the love and merry-making during
"Calaveras"
"A spectacular display and a magnificent
account of Mexican native life which rises
from mere externals to spiritual forces. . .
The photography is so stunning and of
such dramatic strength that each indi-
vidual shot offers an exciting experience!"

gives a little of the early history. The
film proceeds to some ruins of an earlier

people live today in the town of 1941. The
film then follows a typical ten year old
boy thru a normal day's activities. His
early morning duty is to carry water from

work on the hacienda. He must go to

The father feeds the animals. Father
and son work together making sisal fiber
or hemp from the henequen grown on the
hacienda. 'This is taken to the mills which
work just long enough to take care of the

Produced by Wilding picture productions,

map of the United States appears small
shots of the various things the commentator
talks about — the cattle industry, the wheat
fields, timberlands, cotton picking, etc.
Shots of Japanese people, Africans and a
group of people dancing as the commentator
points out that people are much the same
the world over. The Statue of Liberty
appears as the commentator talks of our
fathers and our fathers' fathers. We learn
the percents we control of the following:
coal, copper, oil. cotton, corn, railroads,
automobiles, telephones, radio sets, rubber,
coffee, silk. Workers surge across the
screen and a map in relief is shown as we
learn that for all these commodities we
have only 6% of the population of the world.
We are the wealthiest in resources as well
as the happiest and freest people on the
earth. A general shot of New York City,
then back to pioneer days with a log cabin
and covered wagons. We see one of our
very first trains and the last spike driven
for our trans-continental railroad. A mem-
ber of the U.S. Senate proposing that the
patent office be closed in 1S10 because all
possible inventions had been invented. Wc
then see many of the important inventions
which have come since then. Scenes
around the country — Niagara, Boulder dam.
New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C. The
commentator quotes "Breathes there a man
with soul so dead" and we see a huge melt-
mg pot with people in it. We then see a
baker, a carpenter, a shoemaker, a soda
jerker, a man sharpening luiives, children
marching, a boy beating a drum and a girl
carrying a flag. AVe hear about ajid see
suggested on the screen free schools, free
press, free speech. Views again of the
countryside — the haven of the oppressed.
A little church, a cathedral, a synagogue,
another church. The commentator speaks
of our love of laughter and play. We see
a ball game in progress, the New York
world's fair, the San Francisco fair. Then
we have an impressionistic sort of presenta-
tion of many of the activities and facilities
available to us — radios, rodeos, billboards,
magazines, factories, stores, shoes, shirts
ties, tennis rackets, etc. and the com-
mentator speaks of our high standard of
livmg. Then we begin to consider the
automotive Industry and considerable foot-
age is given over to this. We learn of the
rapid growth of this industry and see
various manufacturing processes. Because
of this industry many miles of road have
had to be built, much gasoline has been
needed, freight trains were needed and
many many products were used. On a map
of the U.S. dollars go to all parts of
the country from Detroit. We see long lists
of cars which have been made at one time
or another and finally come to a considera-
tion of Dodge cars in particular. The
growth of this industry is compared to the
growth of our country. We are shown
much of the work in connection with the
making of a Dodge car. Then we con-
sider transportation from the earliest days
to the automobile. We see the Capitol on a
map of the U.S.. pioneers again, shots of
cities. Then while the commentator talks
of our progress we see such things as a
train, a man .shaving, vacuum cleaner,
plow, etc. Views of the countryside, the
harvest. Wheels turn — we go forward —
this is the land of the free

The historical reason for the title of
this film is that New Hampshire was the
necessary ninth state to ratify the con-
stitution. Colonial houses and doorways
are first shov/n, followed by a trip to the
Isle of Shoals and quaint Gosport church.
The State House at Concord is shown with
the statues to Daniel Webster, Gen. John
Stark, and Franklin Pierce, the fourteenth
President. The parade is shown which was
held to commemorate the ratification of
the constitution. These background scenes
are followed by others to show some of the
industries and advantages of New Hamp-
shire as a State: its water power for gen-
erating electricity to use in transforming
pulpwood into paper; the use of its granite in
many of the public buildings In Washington,
D.C; its high schools, state university, and
Dartmouth College; its popularity as a
summer playground for adults and for
children's camps; the beauties of the
AVhite Mountains; fun in fishing in well-
stocked streams; the summer theatre; the
McDowell musical colony; the trip to
Mt Washington and the Flume, al.so the
aerial tramway. The concluding scenes
show New Hampshire's agriculture, dairy
and poultry farming; and the fun to be had
in the winter sports of skiing, skating, and
dog sleds. Narrated by Alois Havrilla
"One of the best two-reelers ever to be
fashioned as good -will ambassador for a
community's industrial and recreational
advantages. . . The picture covers an
amazing amount of subject matter, — his-
torical, cultural, industrial, recreational.
But interest never wanes. The finale,
following stirring shots of New Hampshire
in Winter, in contrast to the already de-

devised." Film Daily

En route to Washington we pass through
and see numerous large cities. We com-
mence our sight-seeing trip with the Capi-
tol building. The White House is next
visited and we obtain a glimpse of the
executive offices. We visit the great build-
ings of the State, War, and Navy De-
partments, the new home of the Supreme
court, and the important Archives Build-
ing.
Across from the White House, is located
the Treasury, and nearby, the world-famed
Smithsonian Institute. The Department
of Commerce and the Department of
Agriculture Buildings are next seen, fol-
lowed by a trip to the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing. DuPont Circle and
Embsussy Row are also pictured. Rock
Creek Park and the Government Zoological
Park.
All is not government business, however,
in Washington, as may be seen from the
many recreational facilities provided its
people and visitors such as golf, swimming
and tennis. Standing at the head of the
Reflecting Pool is the Washington i Monu-
ment. And opposite, there is the Lincoln
Memorial. The Congressional Library is
not overlooked, and we also take a stroll
along historic Pennsylvania avenue.
Washington's shopping area, the Pan-
American building and the National
Cathedral, are also included. Ford's theatre.
Directly across the street is the little
home in which Abraham Lincoln breathed
his last. We stand before the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery.
Nearby is Arlington Mansion. Beyond
Washington, is Mount Vernon, home of
George Washington. Standing before a
simple, vine-clad tomb, not far from his
home, we conclude our trip

"Covers the recreational, scenic and
historical features of the State, from the
coast, where the first English colony was
founded on Roanoke Island, to the high-
est mountains east of the Mississippi.
The film opens v/ith scenes from the
symphonic drama, 'The Lost Colony,' and
takes the audience from sand dunes and
ancient wrecks, inland through tulip
fields and peach orchards, to the univer-
sities at Chapel Hill and Duke.
Proceeding westward across the Pied-
mont, the movie reaches its climax in the
resort area and the Great Smokies.
Although the main purpose of this film
is obviously to interest travelers, the pic-
ture has real educational value — the
settling of Roanoke; agricultural produce
represented by strawberries, peaches,
melons, tobacco and cotton; Indian crafts
shown on the Cherokee Reservation — all
make this a delightful movie for groups
of any age studying North Carolina."

"This film is very entertaining, being,
in some respects, a 'newsreel' record of
Florida, showing such typical scenes as
alligators, resorts, deep-sea fishing, winter
quarters of the circus, horse-racing, and
the inevitable bathing-beauty contest. In
addition, it takes the audience to points of
historical interest in St. Augustine, to the
Bok Tower, St. Petersburg, Biscayne Bay,
and Miami, showing the importance of
the tourist trade to Florida, and touching
very briefiy on a few other economic
aspects of the state. Its educational value,
however, is very general, and considerably
below its recreational value. Smoothly
produced, 'Fun in Florida' would be an
excellent motion picture for certain types
of assembly programs. Its value In the
classroom, however, is questionable, except
where used with exceptional preparation
on the part of the teacher and class."

There follows a rather lengthy tour of
many of the mines of the state. We are
told what is mined and the type of mining
with statistics at each location. This
covers mining of copper, gold, manganese,
mercury, limestone, gypsum, sericite, feld-
spar, onyx, silica, asbestos and bituminous
coal.
Here we start on another type of ex-
ploration of the state. We visit Granite
Dam, Coolidge Dam, the Colorado River
and Boulder Dam. We consider irrigation
problems and see the storage project near
Yuma.
We next consider the agricultural
achievements of the state and see a field of
well -grown carrots and an asparagus crop
near Tucson. Beet sugar is produced we
learn. Arizona sunshine contributes to the
excellent sugar yield and to the lettuce
crop. An airplane dusts a cotton crop
with insecticide and we learn of the im-
portance of Arizona's crop of long staple
cotton. Here pecans are grown and date
palms thrive. Arizona is rapidly gaining
a place in the citrus fields.
Cattle raising Is a long established in-
dustry of this state. Yellow pine are
raised extensively as proven by a view of
what is said to be the largest forest of
these trees in the world.
At this point the film goes into color.
We see the Mission of San Xavier del Bac,
the desert with its fascinating cacti and
Saguaro, Montezuma Castle and Organ Pipe
National monuments. We visit Phoenix,
Canyon Lake and the Painted Desert. We
see the beauty of Oak Creek Canyon.
Northeast of Flagstaff is Sunset Crater.
We visit the Petrified Forest. Then we go
on for views of the Grand Canyon on one
rim of which dwell Hopi Indians, busy at
their native crafts and performing a
ceremonial dance. A movie set is shown of
Tucson as it used to be and then we see
the modern city of today with its spendid
hotels. The University of Arizona, Phoenix
and the State Capitol building and the tour
of Arizona. A cactus against a sunset sky

Argentina — Con ttnued
ence upon the Pampas for export prod-
ucts. The film opens in Buenos Aires as
Roberto Campas, an employee in a meat
packing plant, goes to work by subway.
A wealthy broker, Senor Rodriguez, goes
to his office by automobile. In the pack-
ing plant, some of the processes in pre-
paring Argentine beef for market are
shown. Senor Campas returns home for
lunch. In his office, Senor Rodriguez dic-
tates an order for a new automobile. At
the dock.s, ships are being loaded and un-
loaded with the exports and imports vital
to the city's life.
But making both possible, there is be-
hind the cities another Argentina — the
land of the vast Pampas, used chiefly for
agriculture and grazing. Typical agri-
cultural activities on the Pampas are
shown. Great herds of cattle, with their
gauchos, form a picturesque sequence, as
do the sheep which roam the plains.
Back in the city, Roberto Campas and
his family are seen visiting the zoo, and
the film closes with views of their home
life in the evening.
An excellent film for classes in the
social studies, particularly geography,
from the junior high through adult levels;
should have considerable value also in
elementary grades. The ffim is well or-
ganized and includes a variety of ma-
terial. It should contribute especially to
a realization of kinship with the people of
Argentina. Photography and sound are

This film is Hawaii! The scenery shots
give the charm of the islands as well as an
idea of the physical peculiarities. It shows
the fields of sugarcane and of rice. It
shows the government buildings in Hono-
lulu. There are views of the churches,
symbolic of religious freedom while Amer-
ican enterprise is demonstrated in the busy
port of Honolulu. Diamond Head is seen
and the famous beach of Waikiki. Visitors
are welcomed with charming hospitality
and with gifts of flower leis.
Agricultural scenes follow and there is
an unusual shot of the deliberate firing of
a field of sugarcane. Various methods of
moving the canes to the mills are shown
and operations in one of the mills. There
are several views of the attractive garden
homes of the islands and close-up views
of .some of Hawaii's lovely flowers.
The film then shows views of Pearl
Harbor and various military activities. We
see circular net fishing. Surf-riding,
horseback riding, polo, speed boating and
golf are some of the sports available.
Viev\fs of Hawaii's high schools and of the
University of Hawaii follow. There are
interesting details of the pineapple indus-
try. A group of dancers perform the
hula. On to Hilo and the Rainbow Falls,
to Kaimu the black sand beach with its
coconut palms. There are shots of the
steaming, straining crater of Kilauea. On
then to Kona.
The beauty of the islands makes visitors,
decked again with leis, reluctant to board
their home-bound ships. A native girl is
seen outlined against the sky as she sings
a farewell song. Ships and planes depart
and the fllm ends with a waving American

Barton, Clara Harlowe — Continued
"Pictures the ladies of the days of
"Victoria. . . The scene shifts to the Civil
War. . . Seeking a way to eliminate the
neglect which caused the death of so many
wounded soldiers, Clara Barton concludes
that the women should go to war to tend
the men. She attempts to enlist, but is
summarily rejected. A few women, how-
ever, follow her example and go into the
field to serve in the hospital. Their minis-
trations are accepted, until a shell wrecks
the hospital, causing the death of one of
the nurses. Clara Barton, despite her dis-
missal by General Garfield, continues her
work. Failing health compels her to seek
a cure in a Swiss sanitarium. There she
is approached by a group of people who
are desirous of her aid to secure the
membership of the United States in an in-
ternational organization, the Red Cross.
She unsuccessfully asks Congress to adhere
to this international organization, but when
a great conflagration comes to one of the
nation's cities, Clara Barton, in her own
name, asks the aid of the Canadian Red
Cross. With the coming of this help the
entire country awakes to the service which
the Red Cross stands ready to give. A
montage of scenes of disaster, against a
waving Red Cross flag, closes the film.
Recommended for social studies and
American history. The universal appeal of
the Red Cross makes this film suitable for
showing to pupils at all grade levels,
especially during fund-raising activities.
The nature of the subject, perhaps, makes
for a less concisely dramatic presentation

Napoleon lies dying. The scene turns back
to Napoleon as emperor; his strategy of
employing a double to oflficiate for him at

his beloved son is held a virtual prisoner

"A portrayal of the life of the man who
gave his life in order that the common man
might have the priceless gift of the Holy
Bible in English. First, the film sketches
Tindale's early life and education. Then
in a series of dramatized sketches inter-
woven with photography of modern-day
settings showing the locations where the
dramatized sequences are laid, the film
shows the events in Tindale's career. In
London, he fails to secure support for his
work of translating the Bible. He goes to
Hamburg, after obtaining financial support
from a wealthy man. After a year in
Hamburg, he goes to Wittenburg, continu-
ing his translation, and then returns to
Hamburg to arrange for the printing.
Persecution follows him and he is forced to
flee from Hamburg to Worms, where his
Testament was completed. The books were
smuggled into England, there to be dis-
covered and destroyed after being pur-
chased. In Antwerp, a trap was laid for
him by a false friend and he was im-
prisoned. On October 6, 1536, he was
burned at the stake. In answer to his last
words, the King of England's eyes were
opened after his death and less than a year
thereafter a bible was placed in every
parish church, by the King's order. A
good film. Our only criticism is the
rather unneces.=ary lengthiness brought on
by the inclusion of so many scenes of
modern-day cities where the historical
events are laid. Staged scenes are good
but scenic shots are only fair." Georgia

In this picture are brilliantly colored
flags calling out messages in Washington,
New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
A brief historical introduction shows ten
of the more important flags of the United
States. W^e see the upholstery shop where
Betsy Ross made her flag and we see
Independence Hall in Philadelphia. We
learn the meaning of the flags that fly
over the White House and Capitol in
Washington. We see ships from Holland.
Sweden, Rumania, Denmark, Honduras and
the Philippines, all showing their colors.
The English and French ships, at war,
show only one spot of color — the flag. All
over the world ocean liners are signalled
into harbor by flags — the pilot flag, the
medical quarantine flag, the coast guard
flag, famous blue Peter. Flags even give
the name of the ship in flag code.
Red flags are the symbol of danger.
They prevent Are and accidents and warn
motorists of a slide rolling down a moun-
tain. Weather bureau signals flown by the
marine exchange are seen warning all
ships headed for rough seas. The coast
guard flag rescues a boat in distress rely-
ing on the primitive rule of the sea —
"Anything flown upside down is a call for
help." There are decorative flags, tatooed
flags and flags as Identification. Boy
Scouts signal with flags the glad news of a
rescue. A Scout Master tells the story of
flags to his troop. And most strongly
.stressed — Old Glory bids us uphold the
ideals for which our flag stands — Liberty,
Equality and Human Dignity. The bril-
liant coloring of the subject, the bugle
calls, and patriotic music add to the enjoy-
ment of this fllm
"Beautiful kodachrome color. . . Pro-

"Animated maps, scenes from newsreels
of the period, and commentary combine in
this film to explain the major causes and
the immediate effects of the 1914-18 First
World War. A general outline of casual
factors, beginning with the year 1879, the
following are cited: The Triple Alliance
between Italy, Germany and Austria; the
Berlin-to-Bagdad Railway plan; the Franco-
Russian Dual Alliance; Germany's increas-
ing inroads on British trade, leading, in
1904, to the Anglo-FYench Entente Cor-
diale; three years later, Russia joins and
makes it the Triple Entente; Germany
and France dispute over Morocco; this
is first decided in France's favor; in
1908, Austria annexes from Serbia the
provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina;
Russia protests; in 1911, another Moroccan
crisis, which is adjusted by allowing con-
cessions to Germany in Africa. A rising
Serbian national spirit is opposed by Aus-
tria. So, in 1914, Europe is armed to the
teeth but still hoping for peace. Then
Archduke Franz Ferdinand is assassinated
at Sarajevo; Austria delivers an ultimatum
to Serbia; then, balked by Serbian re-
sistance, Austria declares war. Other dec-
larations of war follow: The First World
War has begun.
The course of the War is traced in the
next sequence. Germany drives into France.
Turkey joins the Central Powers; then
Italy comes in on the Allies' side; the
opposing navies fight the Battle of Jutland;
Germany begins submarine warfare; the
Lusitania is torpedoed; finally, Woodrow
Wilson recommends that America declare
war; other neutrals enter. Torn internally
by revolution, Russia quits and Treaty of
Brest-Litovsk is signed. Germany again
takes the offensive, but Marshal Foch, his
troops now reinforced by the Americans,
orders a general attack. Finally, Ger-
many's allies surrender and the Armistice
comes. Animated maps here show in
detail the well-known terms of the Treaty
of Versailles. President Wilson returns to
the United States, where Congress rejects
the Treaty and the League of Nations. The
minority problems in Europe appear when
the Treaty is put into effect. Greece and
Turkey continue the fight, but Greece fails
to conquer. So, in 1923, the First World
War is over. But tomorrow's leaders —
Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler — are toiling and
scheming. Thus, with a question as to
the future, the fllm ends. A very good fllm
for use in history classes at the senior
high, college and adult levels; should be
of value at the junior high level. The film
is unbiased and is fairly accurate his-
torically. To cover its subject in 22 min-
utes, its pace necessarily is rapid; it is
probable, therefore, that at least two,
and perhaps three, showings will be found
desirable with accompanying study and
discussion." Educational screen
"This film is in no way prejudiced, the
facts are presented in a straight- forward
truthful manner. Very complete and easilv
understood. An excellent film for political
science and American history classes. Pho-
tography, sound and presentation of sub-
ject matter are excellent. Useful for social
studies — ^American History — Political sci-

the Norsemen have turned to the sea.

Holy Land — Continued
suggested by scenes which reveal the kind
of dried mud huts and crude farming meth-
ods which characterized early Jewish settle-
ments and by ruins and maps which show
the spread and decline of the later Judean
kingdom. The film suggests the corruptness
of the period during which the prophets
sought for a return to the simple values
of a shepherd's life; and digresses to show
how the Samaritan sect, now dwindled to
three hundred, still lives according to the
laws and rites of the Pentateuch. To show
the effect of Hellenistic culture, which fol-
lowed the conquering army of Alexander the
Great, upon the Jews, the film contrasts
the crowded cities and scholarly life of the
Jews, with the buildings and art typical
of the society which made up the Greek
City States. The Jews rebelled against
Greek domination but were again conquered
by Romans, under the leadership of Pom-
pey. Roman buildings are shown. The
life of Jesus is suggested through scenes
of today approximately like those in which
Jesus lived, — the desert. Mount of Temp-
tation, fishing, swaddling babies, carpentry,
etc. The rise of Christianity is symbolized
by views of the Coliseum where early
Christians were thrown to the lions; of
early Christian churches; and a map of
one of Paul's missionary journeys along the
trade routes of the Roman Empire. Arab
occupation, the Crusades, the Turkish con-
quest, are indicated by a study of the
archeological remnants of their existence.
Finally the film reveals present day life
in Palestine: — how Jewish cooperative
farming colonies are engaging in an experi-
ment of world importance; the three reli-
gions of Palestine — Christian, Arab and
Jewish; and the present conflict between
Arabs and Jews

It demonstrates . . . that the need for a

not merely from the desire of the colonists

Two delegates from Delaware and others

It is decided that Jefferson, aided by
Franklin and Lee, draw up a declaration.
We see these three working on it.
Rodney is the only delegate to return
home, but he has promised to be back in

that his vote is needed at Philadelphia,

escapes.
The polling is taking place in Philadel-

closes with the ringing of the liberty bell.
The Rodney episode, is of course,
romanticized, but is true in regard to the
importance of his vote. The actors are
cleverly made up so that they look like the
characters they represent, and the colonial
costumes are good.

"That the Father of these United States
was in no small way aided in his fight for
freedom and tolerance by the financial and
moral assistance of a Jewish patriot, one
Haym Salomon, is the story told forcefully
and rousingly in this Technicolor film.
Salomon is first seen being initiated into
the freedom -loving group known as the
'Sons of Liberty.' Arrested for aiding the
rebels, he is imprisoned, released, arrested
again and thrown into jail, where he meets
in a dramatic manner Nathan Hale on his
way to death. Escaping, Salomon moves
to Philadelphia. While attending a reli-
gious ceremony, he receives a plea from
General Washington to help raise $400,000
for the Continental Army. An inspiring
sequence shows a Hebrew congregation re-
sponding to his appeal for financial assis-
tance. At the end of the war, Salomon
dies, repeating the words from the preamble
of the Declaration of Independence that 'all
men are created free and equal.' " Georgia

"This film purports to be the history of
the writing of the song 'Annie Laurie.'
Douglas and Annie Laurie are in love,
but must meet secretly because of warfare
between their respective clans. Douglas
writes 'Annie Laurie* and sings it to the
girl during a rendezvous in her garden.
When they are surprised by the Laurie
menfolk, they ask permission to marry,
but it is refused except on the condition
that Douglas give up his name. Annie
Laurie's father locks her in a tower, and
later, when he returns from fighting with
the Douglas clan, he tells her that her
lover has been killed. The girl says that
the song 'Annie Laurie* will live forever.
Scenes showing the castle, a wishing
chair, the Scottish countryside are good
background material for students of Scot-
tish folklore. The fancy harmonization
of the simple song 'Annie Laurie,' how-
ever, detracts from its appeal and from
its educational value.

notable 'Singende Jugend' (in 1939 edition
under title 'Orphan Boy of Vienna,' class
P). Set in the beautiful snow-mantled
mountains of the Tyrol near Kitzbtihl,
with winter sports furnishing much of the
atmosphere, the story is a light rural
romance. Toni Kern, the young village
schoolmaster who apparently teaches his
youngsters mostly music and skiing, loves
Lreni Lahntaler, daughter of a local land-
owner. Her father favors the 'self-made'
owner of the village store, however, and
the situation is further complicated by
much attention showered upon Toni by a
pretty Viennese winter sports enthusiast.
Without revealing too much of the story,
which includes a barn fire and several
delightful numbers by the Sangerknaben,
the reviewer can safely hint that the out-
come of the lovers' tribulations Is not
tragic. . . Rich in authentic backgrounds
and characters, as well as enjoyable pho-
tographically and musically ... a treat
for any audience." Modern language jour.

been riding, and which was ridden by his
father and grandfather, is taken away and
allocated to another driver, despite the
protests of the boy." Variety

Paul Robeson in Eugene O'Neill's story
A colorful succession of sequences, tak-
ing in Jones' home in South Carolina, then
to the flats and night clubs of Harlem
and on to Haiti. Ranking next to Robeson
in the matter of histronic honors is Dudley
Digges. The jungle sequences are the
highlights of the picture. Pursued by
hallucinations and ghosts of his murdered
victims, Jones flees through the forest, a
terror-ridden creature stripped of his
bravado and gaudy trappings of "em-
peror." Through the jungle scenes Is
heard the ominous beat of the tom-toms.
The settings, especially the palace and
jungle scenes, all devised by Herman
Rosse, are authentic and colorful, while
the musical score, arranged by Rosamond
Johnson, gives Robeson an opportunity for
the rendition of several numbers in his
robust baritone. Frank Wilson, Fredi

J. C. Murphy junior high F
"No picture, however well it is acted,
can be of as much interest and value or
can become as much of a living experience
to the pupils as one acted by the pupils
themselves. At least that was our experi-
ence in filming 'The Lady of the Lake' with
fifty-two of our ninth grade students. . .
The picture is now being used in the class-
room, and the keen interest and enthusiasm
which is being shown by the pupils Is
gratifying. Two approaches have been used
by the teachers presenting the film. One
teacher used it in advance of any study or
reading of the poem. By doing this she
felt that it would stimulate interest and
would serve as an excellent device In the
introduction of the poem to the class. An-
other teacher read and discussed the poem
with the class and then showed the picture.
After trying these two approaches, it Is the
opinion of both teachers and pupils that it
is better to have some understanding of
the poem first, then see the picture, and
after further study to show it again. Many
pupils who saw the picture before reading
the poem enjoyed it, but there were many
things they did not understand since they
" were not familiar with the story and knew
little about the customs and superstitions
of the Scotch people of the sixteenth cen-
tury. Those who had already studied the
poem received a real thrill when the Fiery
Cross was made, when Roderick Dhu and
Fitz-James fought at Coilantogle Ford, and
when Ellen learned that James Fitz-James
was Scotland's King. Every scene had a
significant meaning, and they were able to
appreciate and understand each scene as it
unfolded the beautiful story of the poem."

bowed and Patches did likewise. Here

from the brush and was coming nearer and
nearer to Bonnie when Patches jumped up

woke she again mounted Patches, stood on

rode home where Bonnie was greeted

Based on the novel, The Shape of Things

made in England. "[The story] outlines
the collapse of civilization after another
Great War, initiated without notice by
thousands of planes bombing defenseless
cities. The whole world is impoverished,
machines rust and collapse and cannot be
replaced; a primitive society evolves in
which men live in the ruins of once
splendid towns and petty dictators exercise
tribal authority. Plague stalks the earth.
Order is restored by a band of aviators
who, in giant planes, bomb the dictators
into submission by a 'gas of peace' which
causes unconsciousness and no worse.
Peace is established on the basis of world
rule and mankind sets out on an age of
progress founded on science." Mot. pic-

16mm,: SAd
Produced by Gaumont-British in 1938
From the novel, "Bob, Son of Battle,"
by Alfred Ollivant. The scene is laid in
the hills of the Scottish Highlands against
a background of hills, crags, and generally
rugged country. McAdam, a sheepherder,
played by Will Fyffe is sullen and ugly.
A bare, thatched cottage high in the hills
is his home. His neighbors fear him and
hate him. McAdam returns their hate but
not tiieir fear. He has love for only three
things. First of these is his daughter,
Jeanie, played by Margaret Lockwood.
The second thing is Black Wull, a wild,
fierce dog. The third love of McAdam is
for his bottle.
Newcomers to this rugged land are few
and far between. But one newcomer to
the rugged, mountainous country is David
Moore, played by John Loder, good
natured and kindly. He tries to be friend-
ly to McAdam, especially after he meets
Jeanie. David also has a dog, Owd Bob,
a magnificent specimen and a fine sheep
• dog. The anger of McAdam' s neighbors
boils over when more sheep are found
with their throats cut, evidently by a
dog. They bring McAdam to trial for
harboring a sheep killer. David's evidence
helps to acquit McAdam but does not
increase the dour Scotchman's friendli-
ness, even when David saves him from an
angry mob. The dislike of McAdam for
David is increased when Owd Bob defeats
Black Wull in an exciting sheep herding
contest.
In a fit of drunken rage, McAdam quar-
rels with Jeanie and drives her out of
his home. David and Jeanie are married
in a quaint Scotch church or kirk. Mc-
Adam cannot keep away from the wedding.
In the midst of the ceremony a shepherd
breaks in with the news that more sheep
have been found with their throats slit.
It is definitely indicated that Black Wull
is the killer. With head bowed McAdam
returns to his lonely cottage followed by
his dog. There he takes down his gun
and slowly loads it. Going outside with
Black Wull he shoots the one creature
he loved best of all. Misfortunes pile up.
With no place to go, McAdam seeks a
haven with David and Jeanie. One of
David's dogs has just had a litter of
puppies. McAdam selects a puppy with
sharp teeth and a jet black coat. In this
puppy he sees Black Wull all over again.
As the picture ends, the old man is seen
sitting and petting the little dog
"Gives excellent picture of life on the
Scottish moors. A splendid dog film.
Truly educational. The expert direction
and acting of this delightful movie makes
it an excellent example for photoplay
groups to study." Collaborator
"A magnificent picture. . . Exciting
and deeply affecting, without any false
sentiment and splendidly produced and
acted." William Lyon Phelps

A kind-hearted park attendant finds a
mother and her very small puppies. He
takes them all home with him and cares
for them. While the puppies are still very
small he sells them to a dog "fancier"
who takes them to the dog market. He
succeeds in reselling all but one which
he is unable to even give away. A flipped
coin saves the pup from a watery grave.
The man then fixes the small creature up
to look less like a mongrel and writes a
pedigree to go with him. The puppy is taken
to the park and "planted" in front of a
wealthy dowager who insists on purchasing
him. A bath reveals him in his true colors
and the butler is commissioned to dispose
of him. He weakens as he is about to
drown him and pays a junk man to take
him away. From this situation the pup
wanders out on to a road, is nearly run
over and is picked up by a young woman
who likes dogs. She takes him home where
he is well cared for and fits in to the
family life very comfortably. He is initiated
into the mysteries of his new home by an
older dog and does some adventuring on
his own also. He is instrumental in bring-
ing about the end of a feud between the
young woman's father and a personable
young man from a neighboring farm and is
well i-atisfled with himself as the film ends
on a romantic note. The puppy lells his
own story as it unfolds
