838 and the magic of his art at the disposal of social endeavour. I mean M. Jean Benoit-Levy. " Creating immunity against TB with hygiene and vaccination with " B.C.G. " is a talking film in which the creator of the serum, Prof. Albert Calmette speaks in collaboration with Prof. Leon Bernard, who has proved its results. The film B. C. G. therefore places before the eyes of the public the irrefutable and definite text which the two scientists have composed themselves, and which never varies wherever the film may happen to be shown, in whatever country or city. Entire humanity can listen to the words of Professors Calmette and Bernard, follow their experiments and tests on the screen, learn the real history of the serum B.C.G. the work it involves, and the results that can be obtained from it. The film will be the exact and perfect picture of their completed work and the full explanation of their theory. The importance of a work spread round the world in this fashion is easily grasped. It is no longer indispensable to organize tours of our earnest lecturers throughout the world both rural and urban in order to educate the public. The film carries to all countries both lecture and lecturer. The National Bureau of Social Hygiene has sonorized " Anti-Venereal Methods in France ". Next December, a new film will be ready " One Penny for Health ", intended to mark the educational value of the national campaigns for the Anti-Tuberculosis postage stamps. The special value of the film lies in the address by Professor Leon Bernard. The public learns from the scientist's mouth of the big effort made in France by the national campaigns for the antituberculosis stamps. To the inevitable mental question which everybody puts, " What have been the results of this campaign from the point of view of mortality ? ■' two graphs and the definite answer of the professors reply saying : " The results have been an undoubted lowering of the death-rate from tuberculosis in France ". Those who have seen and understood this film will never forget it. Is it an international film ? Can we send the film which has enjoyed the fullest success in France about the world without alterations ? I do not think so. The French results can be proved and repeated in every country, but special adaptation is necessary.
