May be rented only for educational purposes where no admission is charged 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!" sh-c-adult Guide Cavalcade; excerpt.

In color "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 school use. The concept, technical details and color value are superb." Advisory committee "Ought to stimulate a heated discussion on value of wars. It really is a plea for peace." Collaborator jh-sh-adult 173 Family ethics Cradle song; excerpt.
