(World parade ser.) 16-si-sd 1940 Castle 917.59 el-Jh-sh-adult Available in the following lengths and prices from the producer and all authorized sales distributors: 100ft-si-$2.75; 360ft-si-$8.75; 350ft-sd-|17.50 "This film is very entertaining, being in some respects, a 'newsreel' record of Florida, showing such typical scenes as alligators, re- sorts, deep-sea fishing, winter quarters of the circus, horse-racing, and the inevitable bath- ing-beauty contest. "In addition, it takes the audience to points of historical interest in St. Augustine, to the Bok Tower, St. Petersburg, Biscayne Bay, and Miami, showing the importance of the tourist trade to Florida, and touching very briefly on a few other economic aspects of the state. "Its educational value, however, is very general, and considerably below its recreation- al value. Smoothly produced, 'Fun in Florida' would be an excellent motion picture for cer- tain types of assembly programs. Its value in the classroom, however, is questionable, except where used with exceptional prepara- tion on the part of the teacher and class."

Describes the work of the Highlander Folk School in its effort to improve conditions for the under-privileged people in the Cumberland region. From an unproductive land and desti- tution, the people are forced to migrate to industrial mill towns, only to suffer there from long hours and starvation wages. "The photography by Ralph Steiner, and the commentary are very good. . . This film should provoke much discussion among edu- cators, among adult groups, and among social studies groups in colleges. It indicates the possibility which lies before education in remedying some of the problems of our coun- try." E.S.
