December, 1943 Page 391 Ji// that.. .for breakfast i' " ASKS A YOUNG MODERN, AGED 10 presenting unusual mo- tion picture to the nation's school children, it was hoped to do two things: to test the efficacy of a new cinematic technique; and to vitalize an almost forgotjien era so that it becomes both meaningful and enjoyable. It now appears that the technique is sound, the vitalization successful. Here are a few comments: "It is the finest thing I have yet seen in Kodachrome and sets a high standard, in my opinion, for ail of us in the documentary field. ... The major emphasis on life rather than architecture thrilled me.... I hope it gets to every school in America." JuLIEN Bryan, lecturer and film documentarian "... an excellent example of how film technique can be used for educational purposes . . . creates dramatically and graphically the life and character of a past era." John E. Abbott, Director, The Museum of Modern Art "I think that the film is the best presentation of the his- torical past that I have ever seen in a movie. It will be a godsend to the schools." " Arthur L. Gale, Editor, "Movie Makers" "... an interesting and valuable document of great educational importance." Francis Henry Taylor, Director, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Produced in co-operation with Colonial Williams- burg, this motion picture tells the straightforward, undramatized story of a typical day in a center of American life two centuries ago. It is authentic, but not pedantic. "Eighteenth Century Life in Williamsburg, Vir- ginia," is a four-reel (44-minute) i6-mm. sound Kodachrome film. It is offered to educational in- stitutions, which are suitably equipped for its pro- jection, without charge for single showings. Bor- rowers are obligated only to give the film proper care and to return it promptly. A considerable demand for the film is already in- dicated. It is, accordingly, suggested that you allow a reasonable time for arranging your booking. In case permanent possession of the film is de- sired, it may be purchased as an Eastman Class- room Film. Price, complete, $240. Unit I (Reels i and 2), |i2o; Units II and III, $60 each.
