The bird houses are then placed in trees in the woods, where they are soon inhabited and baby birds arrive." School management "Suitable only for use with the lower grades. Outdated. Limited use, the younger children would doubtless profit from such scenes as making bird houses, feeding the birds."

In the Edinburgh Zoo these birds appear to lead a very natural life, even succeeding in rearing their young, and thus afford excellent material for a serious study of this kind. The photography is very good and covers a great number of aspects of the birds' behaviour, and the inclusion of a few shots of the Antarctic at the beginning of the film is a useful addition. "The under-water sequences in slow mo- tion show the swimming well. The direction is masterly, resulting in a logically arranged film of great interest and education value. "The commentary also is first class, and in keeping with the high standard of the pho- tography. Altogether an attractive, outstand- ing, and first-class film. A natural history and general interest film for all ages." British film inst. KING VULTURE. (News world of sports ser.) IR 16-sd-apply TFC 598,2 Jh-sh-c A Columbia pictures corporation produc- tion available only to schools "King Vulture opens with panoramic views of the jagged peaks and deep gorges of the Sierras in southern California. A vulture is seen in close-up, his hideaway sought by two men. . . The men toil up the steep cliffs, aided by ropes, while the vulture watches. "Recommended for nature study and es- pecially for ornithology, at proper grade levels. The sequences on the climb are thrilling and instructive. The attack of the vulture is a most realistic piece of recording."
