MOTION PICTURE REVIEWS
MOUNTAIN FIGHTERS O O
In Technicolor. Warner Bros. Running time 20 min.
This tells of the training of our own littleknown Ski Troops. It is threaded through with the story of a Norwegian ski champion who volunteers and is suspected of being a Nazi. It follows the pattern of films on other branches of the service and adds the beauty of winter landscape in color. — Good, family.
❖
REAR GUNNER O O
"Broadway Brevities" Series. 2 reels. Warner Bros.
Showing the importance of each man in a flying team, this picture follows a country boy from Kansas, skilled in bagging crows, in his training as a tail gunner. He receives instruction in skeet shooting, marksmanship from a moving truck, night firing with tracer bullets and so on and the film winds up when he receives a medal for downing a Jap Zero in a heroic episode of the war. The stirring Army flying march accompanies the action. It is a very interesting film for all ages.
SCREEN SNAPSHOTS O O
Columbia short.
Kaleidoscopic views of radio and screen stars are presented with the background of
the Hollywood Home for indigent members of the profession. — Family.
WHO'S SUPERSTITIOUS? O O
M-G-M. "Passing Parade" Series. 1 reel.
This deals, in an interesting and amusing fashion, with the origin and evolution of many familiar superstitions. It then tells in some detail the legend of the “Flying Dutchman” from which Maury’s theory of winds and ocean currents developed. — Good, family.
SHOW BUSINESS AT WAR O O
March of Time. Twentieth Century-Fox.
This is a very interesting resume of the many contributions the Motion Picture Industry is making to the war effort by entertaining the armed forces, supporting canteens, selling war bonds, and giving trained personnel to important technical services. It is entertaining and informative. — Family.
WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR? O O
Universal. I reel.
A man who complains to an air raid warden about civilian regimentation in war time is taken to the home of a refugee who contrasts life in America with the paralyzing fear endured in Germany. — Fair, for family.
