November, 194} Page 345 Eastman Kodak Company presents Eighteenth Century Life in tVilUamsburg^ Virginia to the nation's school children Produced in the course of a continuing exploration in motion picture techniques, this exceptional film is now released for distribution to schools. It will be loaned without charge for single showings. "Eighteenth Century Life in Williamsburg, Vir- ginia" is not merely an excellent example of cine- matography in Kodachrome; it is a new type of documentary film. Essentially, it is a "time ma- chine," by means of which the audience is projected into the everyday life of Americans who lived and worked two centuries ago. "Eighteenth Century Life in Williamsburg, Vir- gmia" was produced in cooperation with Colonial Williamsburg. The story is simply that of a day in the lives of a few WiUiamsburg colonists. It is concerned with them as people, not as actors; for there is no superimposed plot, no drama. The sound track provides supplementary infor- mation and comment, plus a background of "... the real grass roots of our national life are to be found in this superb record of the routine activity of i8th century life. Every American should see it." Dr. Edgar Dale, Ohio State University appropriate i8th century music. A full, illustrated description of the film is available on request.
