Spirits are darkened by war's grim shadows, and depressed by the absence of loved ones called to duty. It is in precisely such times that our proverbial cheerful optimism becomes our greatest national as well as personal asset. Amateur movies of our own bring to us those who cannot get home, for on the screen we see them at their happiest and best. And at very moderate cost we can supplement our own films by renting or buying professional motion pictures that provide a sure-fire solution to our holiday entertainment problems. What better pastime could there be than to look at cartoon versions of the old-time favorite tales of our childhood? Here are Puss in Boots, Old Mother Hubbard, Little Black Sambo, and a host of others. Most of these films can be had in either color or black-and-white — in silent or sound versions, and even in 8mm. Films truly are a gift that the whole family enjoys. A 16mm. sound projector opens your doors to all the finest films produced in the Hollywood studios. If you have no Filmosound projector of your own, you would probably be able to rent one from your Bell & Howell dealer. Better make your reservation early this year. The films, too, can be rented from your dealer. Many of the 500 feature films in the Filmosound Library are low-rental action stories, westerns, animal tales — others include the most thought-provoking features made, such as Our Town, House Of Seven Gables, Song Of China, Rembrandt. The holiday season is a good time, too, for putting on shows for others, perhaps less fortunate. Why not go Christmas calling, this year, with your projector? There are many orphanages, poor churches, hospitals, and underprivileged families that could be cheered no end by a jolly movie show. So why not play Santa Claus? It will take your mind off your own worries and sadness. The best recipe for happiness is to make others happy. Childhood's favorite tales such as Puss in Boots, Little Black Sambo, Dick Whittington's Cat, and Old Mother Hubbard make excellent ia toons, in color black-and-white.
