Subtitle OHIO STATE university. Bureau of educational research. Aids to democracy: radio, movies, press. 21p 25c 1941 The bureau, Columbus, Ohio "A reprint of articles appearing in the News Letter during 1940-1941. . . The tenor of these articles is that national morale is built not by a hip-hip-hurrah campaign, but rather by thoughtful, patient analysis of what democracy really means and the sharing of that vision with our one hundred and thirty million people, through the use of our modern media of com- munication—the radio, movies, and press." In- troduction PARTRIDGE, MRS HELEN LAWRENCE (DAVIS). Lady goes to Hollywood. 259p $2 1941 Macmillan "The wife of Bellamy Partridge, whose Country Lawj'er (Book Review Digest, 1939) became a best seller, writes these letters de- scribing in slightly Actionized form their life in an aged Connecticut house, and in Holly- wood, where they lived during the filming of her husband's book." Book rev. digest "Definitely she does her bit to give Hollywood a good press. . . Her book is so sincerely in- 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 tabloids. It entertains because it tells of a delightful visit to the capital of Filmland, be- cause Helen Partridge writes good prose, and because her book is on the whole quite gay. It is entertainment." Sat. rev. of lit. POPULAR science monthly. How to make your own photographic equipment. 336p il $2.95 1941 Popular science, 353 Fourth Av, New York City "A practical handbook for the photographer who desires to make equipment for his dark- room and accessories for his camera."

Stars and strikes. 233p $2.75 1941 Columbia univ. press "The story of the development of unions not only among the carpenters and electricians but also among the actors and writers of Hollywood. Index." Book rev. digest "Written from a wholly impartial viewpoint, 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 large libraries." Library jour. "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- can ROSTEN, LEO C. Hollywood: the movie col- ony, the movie makers. 436p $4 1941 Har- 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."
