cruiser blasted! at Midway No. 1632 MAGIC CARPET" — ctt tke Itattdu REMEMBER — in Thief of Bagdad and other films based on Arabian Nights themes — how the magic carpet took its masters through the air with the greatest of ease away from present danger (or boredom), into ever new lands and adventures? That was the highest flight of man's imagination in those times — but it has been topped by reality today. Your Filmo projector does not have to carry you out over housetops and mountain peaks to show you the distant worlds — it brings those worlds right into your own living room. Just as no cultured home is really complete without good books, so too the modern head-of-the-house recognizes more and more the value and desirability of a home film library of his very own. And it costs so little in comparison to the broad enjoyment and enlightenment it gives to family, friends, and, nowadays, even to the community. The Castle home movies cost from only $1.75 for an 8mm. headline edition, to $17.50 for a deluxe 16mm. complete sound reel. The Castle catalog lists film titles on every imaginable field of interest.

Here are the major events chronicled in News Parade of 1942:— Yanks Fight 'round the Globe, Russia's Heroic Stand, Battle of the Atlantic, Japs Bomb Alaska and Australia, Commander John Ford's pictures of the Midway Battle, Marines Smash Japs in Pacific, Dieppe — Prelude to Second Front. Besides the News Parade, published every year since 1937, we have Fight for Egypt, Russia Stops Hitler, Japs Bomb U.S.A. — and all the way back to the bombing of our gunboat Panay by the Japs, and the seizure of Austria by Hitler. But war news by no means exhausts the Castle repertoire. Another favorite series is the World Parade, all the more inter It takes more than snow and barbed" wire to slop the Russian soldiers No. 4638 esting nowadays, when war restrictions prevent our travelling to the usual play places. So we call on the magic carpet of moviedom to bring those places into our living room. Florida, California, Hawaii, our National Parks, yes, and peacetime Venice, London, Rome, Honolulu, Rio de Janeiro and other Great Cities. Then there are a great many purely entertainment films in the list, cartoons (in color and black-and-white), old-time movies, novelty reels. Finally, on the more serious side, the Castle line includes several outstanding civilian defense films. The Castle organization also distributes films produced by government agencies for industrial training and morale purposes. All these various types of Castle releases should be bought through the Filmosound Library, and through its local Bell & Howell dealers. Re-live that vacation trip No. 4602
