In an oval -framed lattice hung with fruit (which proved to be airy balloons) a dancer interpreted the familiar waltz rhythm. The airy grace of the dancer and the light bubblelike balloons make a picture of artistic grace. The current interest in aesthetic dancing should make this fllm enjoyable to many children."

"Played to shifting scenes of great effectiveness. Quiet pools, sunlit at times, and splashed into tiny circles by pattering raindrops at others, rain washing leaves and trees, waterfalls cascading down sheer cliffs into roaring whirlpools, fields of grain tossed by a mighty wind and the dash of billowing surf on a 'stern and rockbound coast' keep the eye occupied with dramatic Nature in her myriad moods, while the ear listens to the varying changes of the colorful music."

While the orchestra plays Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapsody, the figures and colors appear on the screen. . . Highly recommended as an excellent film for art and music classes interested in this new field of interpretive color tones."

The camera is constantly in motion, showing the entire orchestra and occasionally its various sections as they are featured. The work of the director is very effectively shown. "Should be of some value in orchestral music study and as a subject of general interest to all students. The lack of explanatory narration or titles, and the few closeups showing single instrumentalists as they are featured, would appear somewhat to limit educational value."
