We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

ent for junior matinees. “Artie Antics.” This shows penquins, seals, walruses, and other artic birds and animals performing to martial rhythm. Very amusing suggestion after the Byrd films. “Night.” The creatures of the night, owls, frogs, mosquitos, glow-worms, in a musical extravaganza accompanied by “The Blue Danube.” “Frolicking Fish” cleverly depicts undersea atmosphere, enhanced by rhythmic musical accompaniment. — o — MICKEY MOUSE CARTOONS. Walter Disney Productions. Animated cartoons with sound accompaniment. These productions do not achieve quite the high standard of excellence of the Silly Symphony cartoons but they are ingenious, clever, grotesquely amusing. The occasional vulgarities are perhaps forgivable because of the euphemistic quality of the cartoon medium of expression. All are entertaining. “Barnyard Concert.” “Poet and Peasant” burlesqued. “The Shindig” is a bamdance with animal dancers. “The Cactus Kid” has a desert cafe as its setting and considerable Mexican melodrama satirizes the typical “Western”. VAGABOND ADVENTURE SERIES. The Van Beuren Corporation Pathe. These are interesting silent travel films accompanied by lectures by Tom Terris the director. “Sacred Fires” pictures scenes in India; “Love That Kills” provides a slight romantic interest showing the love affair of an Asiatic girl and boy of different castes. This series is interesting and instructive to all ages. SUBSCRIPTION TO THE REVIEWS OF THE MOTION PICTURE COMMITTEE. Subscription $1.00 per year. Apply Women’s University Club, 943 S.
