S. VICTORY FILMS (Distributed by Various Major Exchanges) Pots to Planes 509 Bomber 509 SHORT SUBJECTS reviews and synopses THE WAR FOR MEN'S MINDS (UA) World in Action The thirteenth issue of the World in Action series produced by the National Film Board of Canada concerns the war on the propaganda front. Here the Axis nations longheld the initiative just as they did at the front line. But as the tide turned in favor of the Allies, their tactics in the battle of words have taken the offensive. The film, edited by Stuart Legg, describes some of the Nazi tricks of propaganda warfare and the results of the new offensive spirit among the United Nations. Release date, August 13, 1943 16 minutes YUKON OUTPOST (Univ.) Variety Views (7363) With the Army posts in the far North and fighting on the Aleutians, there is renewed interest in our Arctic possession. Universal offers a survey of Alaska's contribution to our war effort and home industry in the wealth of minerals, fish and game, forest timber and water power. Release date, August 30, 1943 9 minutes ANY CHICKENS TODAY? (Univ.) Variety Views (73 62) For its current medley of Variety Views, Universal has taken to the animal kingdom where a good look at that favorite barnyard fowl unearths some hints on hens. The "hen hotel" in Miami has nothing on the Hull Hatchery in Connecticut where 16,000,000 chicks made their appearance annually. For comedy, there's the Philadelphia rooster who likes his beer. Release date, July 26, 1943 9 minutes SING, HELEN SING (Para.) Headliner (A2-10) Helen O'Connell, whose singing with Joe Venuti's orchestra and on the radio has boosted her records to top sales volumes, answers three song requests from service men. She sings "Murder, He Says," "He Didn't Ask Me" and "I Have Faith," with service backgrounds. There are words and Paramount's "bouncing ball" to invite audience participation in the choruses. Release date, July 23, 1943 11 minutes ODE TO VICTORY (MGM) Miniature (M-440) A recent musical composition by Nathaniel Shilkret, MGM musical director, is the subject of this patriotic short, opening at an Army band rehearsal of the work and representing its message on the screen. United States history from 1776 to 1943 passes in review as the piece continues, and a chorus of American workers swells out the finale with the closing words of a recent address by President Roosevelt. Release date, July 31, 1943 10 minutes PASS THE BISCUITS, MIRANDY (Univ.) Swing Symphonies (723 5) One of those old mountain feuds breaks out suddenly when Mirandy bakes a batch of biscuits. The Bartons and the Foys are pelting each other with hot cakes when Uncle Sam comes along. Realizing the great waste of energy and ammunition he induces the boys to try this skill against the Axis. Release date, August 25, 1943 7 minutes RATION BORED (Univ.) Color Cartune (7248) Woody Woodpecker is fed up on gas rationing. In fact he has no more tickets. A group of cars at a junk yard catches his eye and he decides to siphon a little gas into the old jalopy. Unfortunately he picks on a police car and is caught in the act. At the finish he has his fill of gasoline. Release date, July 26, 1943 7 minutes 1512 Product Digest Section
