grades and for biology classes in junior and senior high school. Suggested also for classes in natural science and ornithology. Should be of interest to art students studying birds. WILD WINGS (Warner Bros.) CI-76 Pepper Pot Novelties Series 1 reel— B&W Running time —10 minutes A study of some of the thousands of birds that have found a retreat on the Layson Islands near the Hawaiian group in the Pacific Ocean. The commentator explains that here "a few feet away from the thundering surf" birds can breed undisturbed. A boat pushes onto the shore in the midst of a flock of booby birds. As the photographer turns his camera about, we see a variety of birds, including the shearwaters, the rail, an albatross with its young, and white love birds. A black Hawaiian frigate bird exhibits strange courtship antics. When the owner of a nest leaves, a yellowlegs steals the eggs. We see also the strange courtship dance of the albatross. A final sequence, part of it in slow motion, shows us myriads of birds alighting, taking off, flying. This film is characterized by unusual and artistic photog- raphy. Highly recommended for zoology, grades 10 through col- lege, and art classes above grade 7, Should be of some use in nature study classes, grades 1 through 6. Recommended also for art classes at all levels. 38
