The Shorts Parade ( Continued from page 3525) work that he did concerning the painter. Seen are some of the portraits of Rem¬ brandt’s mother, father, wife, and the artist in the typical style of a bright light on a shadowed figure. Commissioned at the peak of his career to paint a group picture of some of the town’s prominent people, the result was his famous “Night Watch.” The painting was not received well by his patrons, and his career was on the downgrade. His paintings after¬ wards reflect gloom and poverty. Tech¬ nicolor film will be best for art houses and metropolitan areas. EXCELLENT. (7257) . \ Color Cartoons THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES. Co¬ lumbia — Jolly Frolics. 7m. Adapted from the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, this deals with a beau brummel king who must have a new set of clothes for each public occasion. The emperor’s tailors are in a dither, unable to satisfy the taste of the emperor. Two shifty eyed traveling salesmen find in him the perfect dupe for their nefarious scheme, and sell him an outfit, supposedly very beautiful but in¬ visible to the stupid. When the king goes out on parade, all his many subjects pretend to admire his robes, all except an outspoken child who exclaims that the king is in the “altogether”. The em¬ barrassed king heads back to his palace while the scheming tailors ask directions to the nearest castle. GOOD. (5504). A HELPING PAW. Columbia— Novelty Color Favorites Re-releases. 7m. When first reviewed in The Servisection of February, 1941, it was said: “Canine Tobias, assistant to a medico, gets himself crocked by lapping up rubbing alcohol. The story is about his efforts in plastered condition to get one of the doc’s patients home safely. He doesn’t, but it’s good fun and there are plenty of laughs. GOOD.” (5611). Servimcfton 7 LITTLE ROQUEFORT IN FRIDAY THE 13TH. 20th Century-Fox — Terrytoons. 7m. Percy, the cat, writes in his diary, N using Roquefort’s tail as a pen, that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day for that mouse. Percy fastens Roquefort to a target, and shoots darts at him, but Roquefort escapes, and points out to Percy many supersti¬ tions. Percy takes refuge in a basket, sur¬ rounded . by horse shoes for good luck. Roquefort then calls his gang, and they raid the icebox, Roquefort taking a bath in Percy’s milk. Enraged, Percy starts a chase with disastrous results. Bruised and bandaged, the bedfast Percy watches Roquefort using his tail as a pen correct¬ ing the diary entry to say that Friday the 13th is unlucky for that cat. GOOD. (5315). RED HOT RIDING HOOD. MGM— Gold Medal Reprint Cartoons. 7m. When first reviewed in The Servisection of May, 1943, it was said: “The characters rebel at being forced to go through the same old ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ paces, and de¬ mand the animators do something about it. The result is a jazzed up version of the old tale with Little Red as a night club singer, the wolf as a wolf, and grandma as a man-hungry old maid who certainly gives the wolf a battle for his life once he arrives at her penthouse apartment. The wind-up has the wolf wrapped around a lamp-post after diving off the roof to get away from her, vowing never to be a wolf over a woman again. GOOD.” (W-465). ^ Color Novelty TRAVEL QUIZ. MGM— Pete Smith Specialties. 9m. In the usual Pete Smith fashion, this asks a lot of questions, pri¬ marily devoted to people and places in all parts of the world, with the usual Smith humor helping. While the color doesn’t enhance the humor, it is a deco¬ rative asset. GOOD. (S-457) . Novelty CANDID MICROPHONE No. 4. Co¬ lumbia. 10!£m. Allan Funt takes a peek at people, this time from a hiding place in a Greenwich Village office supply store. He thoroughly confuses a prospective renter of a typewriter, and tries to sell a Venetian blind maker a “slot machine.” His next stop is the New Jersey State Fair, where he tries to give a lady a refund of money which she never spent. FAIR. (5551). DEADLY DRUMS. U-I— Variety Views. 10m. Told here is a story from the files of the railroad police, the exciting story of how two trains bearing a seemingly harmless cargo and shipped in two differ¬ ent directions are promptly located when it is learned that the drums containing an improperly mixed chemical are highly combustible and liable to explode. Inten¬ sive work is required to trace the cars, and still greater courage and quickness are required to dislodge the perilous cargo, and save the lives of innocent people. FAIR. (8344). Color Sports DESERT KILLER. Warners— The Sports Parade. 10m. When a mountain animal affects the business of an Indian family, the youngster gets on the job, the animal is caught alive with the aid of an experi¬ enced hunter, and it is made into an asset, attracting more trade. GOOD. (9508). Color Travel JOHANNESBURG— CITY OF GOLD. MGM — Fitzpatrick Traveltalks. 8m. The Technicolor camera catches Johannesburg, which came into prominence when gold was discovered there, and rapidly grew to a modern city of 800,000 persons. Seen are scenes of the gold mining, done mostly by native tribes. Many natives remain in the city detribalized. Some deteriorate under the city influence, but many become useful citizens. The most interesting scenes are those concerned with gold production and tribal dances. FAIR. (T-416). 3527
