Filmo Topics (1942)

IKS' x\&* THE warm hearth-stones of our forefathers were the "universities" whence sprang our Lincolns — our Boones and our Clarks. At their own firesides our pioneer youth, and their elders, too, improved their knowledge, their fitness, and their understanding. In these troublous modern times, the fireside, streamlined though it be, is again becoming the focal point of family life. Give the credit to gas rationing, if you wish, or to spiritual unfoldment in time of crisis — the fact remains that people stay home more, and the result is a revived importance for the fireside, as a place for family and friends, to live and to learn — TOGETHER. It is fortunate that in the motion picture, we have a medium of communication that works just as well for an audience of two, as for one or two thousand. Everyone sees (and hears, too, in the case of sound films), exactly the same thing. Doubly fortunate the family that has a motion picture projector, sound or silent, 16mm. or 8mm., for theirs is the key to educational and recreational riches beyond all the dreams of the kings of old. TheFILMOSOUNDLIBRARYoffers over 3000 films, of practically every known type, for rental use. Most of these films can also be bought outright. There is no less reason to buy and own a film that you like, than to buy and own a favorite book or phonograph record. It is our aim to offer every worth while film. We also collaborate in the completion and distribution of worth while original material, photographed by explorers, scientists, educators and other cinematographers. Below are a few of the many titles of films that are FILMOSOUND LIBRARY "originals."

The "fireside university" — your own home — is a place where you can review the outstanding films of recent years. You can repeat the film if you wish, at once, to settle any arguments, or to clear up any uncertainties. A projector— well used — is a priceless asset in any home, school, or organization.
