Home Movies (1943)

HOME MOVIES FOR OCTOBER PAGE 329 December. Another December release will be "Football Thrills of 1943" which will include exciting scenes from most of the important gridiron games of the year. Among the entertainment films currently released by Castle, the new animated cartoon series featuring Kiko the kangaroo is proving extremely popular, due chiefly to the modern skill employed in animation and the fact each reel is a comprehensive continuity. The series to-date comprises eight separate subjects. In addition to these, Castle also releases a series of famous Terry-toon cartoons, some of which are available in color as well as sound. "Here Comes the Circus" is one of Castle's most popular entertainment films. It virtually brings you a ringside seat before the "greatest show on earth" and pictures the circus from the great parade to the spectacular elephant acts under the big top. And speaking of animals, Castle has a surprise in store for home projectionists in one of their latest films, "Clyde Beatty's Animal Thrills," a sensational document of this world-famous animal trainer's skill in training lions, leopards and tigers. Then there is "The Three Little Bruins" an amazing study of three little bears and their many wildlife friends in the woods. Concealed cameras succeeded in capturing amazing, intimate action shots of the bears in their wild habitat, making it truly an outstanding collector's item. A notable scenic release is Castle's "Glacier National Park," a gallery of magnificant scenes in one breath-taking movie. Seldom has this inaccessible region been so artistically photographed in motion pictures which presents on the home screen, this wilderness of trail and trout stream, perpetual ice fields, cloud piercing mountain peaks and big game sanctuaries. These are just some of Castle's latest releases. Their impressive catalog lists many more, plus all of their principle releases during the past year. All films are available for either 8mm. or 16mm. projectors as well as in 16mm. sound versions. Most subjects may be had in a choice of two lengths — 50 foot and 180 foot in 8mm, 100 foot and 360 foot in 16mm, and 350 foot sound version.
