I believe that it is one of the very finest photographically." H.V.K. "The commentary is explicit and well selected. One observing the film critically doubts some of the statements made in re- gard to the battle staged between the two warring colonies. However, this does not seri- ously impair the usefulness of the film. "The film was first prepared for general theatrical use and was released for that pur- pose in April, 1936. Because of the general nature, certain features of the typical class- room film—detailed study, animated diagrams, etc.—are lacking. The film is nevertheless ex- cellent in its appreciative aspects. This film may be used for its nature study aspects, for its ecological aspects, for illustrating the life history of ants, and for the study of their so- cial organization. "The photography is truly remarkable, it is not only clear but is possessed of real beauty. The film presents the story of the busy life of ants with an economy of time yet with sufficient completeness."
