Available only to schools "Scenes in Damascus and the surrounding desert. . . Much of the material is excellent. "The film as a whole should be of con- siderable value in geography and related studies, grades 4 through 9. The demonstra- tion of metal craft and the source material for design should make this valuable in art studies, grades 4 through college. "The musical background detracts from the value of the film."

Shepherds and their flocks linger by the roadsides, and a field is being tilled by an ox and a donkey teamed to a wooden plow such as was used thousands of years ago At Jericho, on the Jordan, a great flock of long-haired goats block the road. At last, the Jaffa Gate, the Street of David, a Chris- tian funeral, Jews against the Wailing Wall, too orthodox to permit photography.

Haifa's modern buildings show Jewish progress. Changeless Arab shepherds and their flocks along the Nazareth road. Amazing industrial growth of Tel Avid, its harbor, youth at agri- culture, boy scouts, girl scouts. Fishing and net drying at Joppa. Flowing by camels, by oxen. "Venerable little Bethlehem, its Church of the Nativity, its altar, the low entrance gate and the reason for it. Jerusalem with modern and ancient streets of seething traffic in hu- mans, donkeys, cattle, uphill and down over rough stone pavings. And in the streets pot- ters' wheels at work; close-ups of artesans, jewelers, weavers. "And finally the holy places—the wailing wall with the devout at their strange prayers, the great Mosque of Omar, its mosaic arches, the fountains for bathing hands and feet before entering the holy precincts, and the Minaret and evening call to prayer as the picture fades."
