Its food is blood alone and it will live six months without food if it cannot get blood. An inspector is seen lifting up the bedding in a poor home, revealing the insects running over an old mattress. The bug's egg is shown in close-up. . . The young insect is seen struggling from the egg. . . A young bug is seen having its first meal. "During the day it remains in hiding. . . At night it comes out in search of food and a close-up of the insect biting an arm is shown. . . To illustrate how the pest may interfere with sleep a child is shown tossing and turning in bed as she is bitten. "Workmen are seen demolishing a slum, and it is pointed ont that the insect may be spread on such an occasion via the workmen's clothing or in wood taken away by children for fuel. "The commentator concludes the film, stating that in London four million people suffer from the pest, and similar conditions obtain in other large cities. No one is immune and the presence of the insect is not a dis- grace but a misfortune. "The film is completely successful in pre- senting its propaganda vividly and efficiently. Direction, photography and sound recording are very good." British film inst. BraF 16-sd-$72; rent $4 Ohio 16-sd WATER FOLK. (Secrets of nature ser.)
