Showmen's Trade Review (Oct-Dec 1946)

SHOWMEN'S TRADE REVIEW, Octpber 5. 1946 45 SHORT SUBJECT REVIEWS Follow That Blonde Leon Errol (Breezy) 18 mins. RKO (63,706) Shall we go into the plot ? It's a mixup in which Errol has to dress as a woman and be married to friend Paul Harvey to keep the latter out of jail. Harvey's wife arrives to unwig Leon and the judge remands both to the mercies of their wives. Both Errol and Harvey do a bang-up job in this, and average audiences will get plenty of good laughs out of it. A nice, lively filler. World Food Problem lExcelleni) 20th-Fox March of Time 17 mins. Despite a near record harvest this year in the United States and many other countries famine still stalks in India, China and some European states. The problem of feeding these countries and aiding them to become self-sufficient by providing agricultural equipment, fertilizer and "know how" through the United Nations Re STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION.

SIDNEY SHAPIRO Business Manager Swoni to and subscribed before me this 11th dai of September. 1946. ICATE TABACHNICK Notary I'ublic. ivings Couidy Kings Co. Clk's No. 176. Keg. No. 88-T-7 N. Y. Co. Clk's No. 15. Reg. No. 127-T-7 Commission Expires March 30. 1947 habilitation and Relief Association (UNRRA) and through the bounty of private individuals is amply demonstrated. The March of Time's newest production gives graphic proof of the starvation that exists, particularly in China and India, and demonstrates through charts and photographs the important part being played by the United States in fostering relief to the suffering peoples. That America has contributed 72 per cent of UNRRA funds and almost 75 per cent of the supplies that are daily being shipped are facts that also are forcibly presented. "World Food Problem" is an excellent presentation of the problem that exists and is thoroughly engrossing entertainment as well. The short contains many angles for exploitation efforts. King of the Everglades (Passable) WB (3501) Sports Parade 10 mins. Ross Allen of Silver Springs, Fla. is shown as he goes through his various didoes with wild animals to the admiration of the troop of Boy Scouts. Printed in Technicolor, the film fails to offer anything new, but does a workmanlike job of following Ross as he lassoes a racoon, panther, and dives after turtles, fish and alligators. For any audience, but purely a filler. (Good) 10 mins. Sure Cures (Excellent) MGM Pete Smith Specialty 10 mins. Delving once again into the phobias and eccentricities of we human mortals, Pete Smith comes up with an excellent short subject about those home remedies touted to be sure cures. Counting sheep to fall asleep, experimenting with all kinds of hair preparations to prevent baldness, using all the well-known tricks to stop hiccups and other "sure cures" are tried by Dave O'Brien with amusing results. Of course, O'Brien's attempts are met with other difficulties which must be overcome, and these too, provoke laughter. The short should be a welcome and refreshing addition to any program. Mr. Chimp on Vacation Univ. (1354) Variety Vie'w Shorty visits the beach with his master and the master's girl, who incidentally, isn't hard to take in a bathing suit. Shorty goes through his usual shenanigans, but he's out of his element in the sand and in the water. He doesn't like it and registers his objections. Good for any program. Screen Snapshots No. 9 Columbia (7859) (Poor) 11 mins. This is a motion picture recording of one of Judy Canova's radio shows, taken right at the microphone. The humor is poor, and loses whatever impact it might have had by the addition of sight, destroying the illusions created by the program's sound effects. Jail Break (Fine) Goal Rush Para. (P5-5) Noveltoons (Novel) 6 mins. Canine College and Alley Cat College play a football game in the Milk Bowl with each side gaining alternate advantages. Between halves the Bouncing Ball leads the audience through well-known football songs. In the second half, the Canine team uses mechanical mice to upset the Cats. A novel Technicolor cartoon. 20th-Fox (7504) Mighty Mouse 7 mins. Bad Bill Bunion, toughest critter of the west, escapes from Alcatraz, aided by his venal horse. The duo embark on a series of nefarious deeds, including the stealing of the ball during an Army-Navy football game. Bill evades tanks, the air forces in all of their might, the navy's big guns, etc. Not until Mighty Mouse himself, in person, appears on the scene does law and order again triumph and Bill and his horse are returned to Alcatraz. In Technicolor, this short is a delight for any program. . . . NEWSEEEL SYNOPSES . . .
