MOTION PICTURE REVIEWS
SHORT SUBJECTS
DOG HOUSE O O
"Pete Smith Novelty." M-G-M.
Pete Smith humorously and affectionately illustrates the very human traits of pets who get into the “Dog House” commonly known as the pound. Informative and entertaining. Family.
❖
MERCHANT SEAMEN O O
RKO "This Is America" Series.
The importance of the Merchant Seaman, at home and on the water, is well brought out in this short, which tends to increase admiration for this branch of our fighting force. Family.
MOTORING IN MEXICO O O
"Fitzpatrick Traveltalk." M-G-M.
A delightful travelogue features the country of startling contrasts with its ultra modern and sixteenth century architecture, costumes, and customs, a country which is intensely pictorial, never commonplace and always romantic to the tourist. Family.
❖
NORTH AFRICAN ALBUM O
R.K.O. "Victory Special."
These are truly “Shots which don’t get into the big newsreels” and they are notable for their informality and their lingering over the details of the soldiers’ individual lives in North Africa as well as on close-ups of the landscape. This short will have a warm
welcome, especially from those who have boys fighting in North Africa. Good. Family.

REPORT ON THE ALEUTIANS <> O
Put out by O.W. I. Released through Columbia.
This film is a must-see. It is not only most informative as a report of war activities, but it is also a thrillingly beautiful collection of Technicolor sea and land scapes. It shows the construction of a base from which planes take off and bombing missions over Kiska. It shows the men who flew on these missions, and the conditions under which they have to live; and it even takes the audience along to drop a few well-aimed bombs. The accompanying narrative is unusually right in content and in style of delivery. Highly recommended for family.
❖
SKY SCIENCE O O
M-G-M. "Pete Smith." 1 reel.
Fine pictures of the safety devices installed in modern fighting planes. Good. Family.
❖
YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL O O
Warner Bros.
Elizabeth Arden puts in a plug for galmour and enters competition with the soap operas on the radio. “Stay slim, well groomed and beautiful, girls, and win — or keep — your husband.” Unobjectionable for family.
