Just at that time, word was received that his father, Lieutenant Jack MacDougall, has been placed in charge of the Canadian Army -Film Unit overseas. Previously a motion picture director with Associated Screen Studios of Montreal, he left for overseas last year. His new appointment will provide newsreel and propaganda film coverage of Canadian army units on active service. Young David MacDougall, father’s footsteps, is playing a bit in “Those Other Days,” a musical short reviving popular songs of the last war. This short is nearing completion at Associated Screen Studios, and features songs made famous by the ‘“Dumbells’” concert party formed by men out of the trenches of Flanders who later made themselves the toast of more than one continent. ‘‘Red’”’ (Ain’t it a lovely war) Newman and Ross (Marjorie) Hamilton go through scenes familiar to the stage, but scenes which have never before been enacted before movie cameras. “Those Other Days’ is being produced for the National Film Board. following in his. i { tli Ea am Ni hag EE IE: Ss ppee ls penae beagle Pa Meet atin old Sat » | z| Nae SL a Sean aN TTT SON ER ENR |e ie UMD
