SCHMELLING-STRIBLING FIGHT
An exceptionally clear portrayal of the international world's heavyweight boxing contest between Max Schmelling of Germany, the defender of the title, and Young Stribling of the United States, the challenger. Only the most interesting of the fifteen rounds are shown, making the action fast and furious. From a choice ringside seat, the observer is able to witness all the exciting incidents of this historic contest. The spectacular last round is shown in the regular tempo after which the crucial blow is pictured with slow motion. It demonstrates very clearly the reason why the decision was given to Schmelling on a technical knockout. No fight fan should miss seeing this remarkable film, whether or not he saw the contest itself. It is also interesting and entertaining for others, even including women and children.

SPORT ALMANAC
The producer of this entertaining film conceived the idea of showing typical sports which are enjoyed in various parts of the country during each month of the year. In January there is coasting, in February, ice hockey, March is the month for fishing — April for track events such as running, jumping and throwing weights. Golf is featured for the month of May — bathing for June. For the remaining months some well selected sequences are shown to illustrate baseball, horseback riding over mountain trails, fox hunting and traveling through the snow with dog teams. Stirring competition, exciting action, thrilling incidents, absorbing human activities and wonderful scenery are all brought out in this unusual picture. While most of the characters who take part in it are athletes and sportsmen, this film will be enjoyed by all.

U. S. C. VS. NOTRE DAME, 1930
Newsreels in which segregated snatches of action taken from football games are familiar to the public. This film is unique in that it presents all the important highlights of one complete game. The one chosen is the historic encounter between the University of Southern California and the last team which Knute Rockne coached at Notre Dame. Most of the views are long shots, giving the impression that the audience is witnessing the game from a point of vantage in the grandstand, but there are also a number of good closeups. Line bucks, end runs, forward passes, punts and all the other plays that go to make an exciting encounter are portrayed with clearness and faithfulness. Anybody who likes to watch a football contest will enjoy this unusual film — and who doesn't like to witness a good game of football?
