WHAT ABOUT WAR FILMS?

Miss Adoree is running after it, trying to hold on to Gilbert's hand and then finally having to give up as the truck gains speed.
In "The Four Horsemen" there were two unforgettable scenes, the fighting on the battle front and the last sequence showing an immense graveyard with its crosses as the sun sets. Two indelible scenes that will live forever in my mind. In "Lilac Time" there were quite a few love scenes between Cooper and Colleen only factors that
Moore that one can never forget.
The horror angle in each of these pictures was played down to a minimum and the romantic slant built up. Each in itself was entertaining. Each had a definitive message. And the public responded in kind.
What remains to be said is this: In the new potpourri of films, it is hoped that most will have a conclusive message and at the same time be entertaining. The two ingredients mix well for success. They are the n spell success.
TRANSFUSIONS ONCE IN DISREPUTE
IT is hard for us today, knowing the miraculous effect of transfusions, to believe that once in the distant past they were in disrepute and against the law — particularly in France.
Transfusions were condemned in the time of Pliny and Gelsus and in medieval times when Pope Innocent VIII lay dying from that "terrible disease old age." As a last resort his physician attempted a transfusion, which resulted in the Pope's death and the daring physician had to flee for his life.
It was William Harvey's discovery in 1616 of the circulation of blood that removed transfusion from the realm of speculation.
English experiments stimulated the pioneer work of Jean Baptiste Denis in Paris, 1666, and his work became widely known. However, malicious hostility was aroused by it, and the work was attacked on scientific, metaphysical and religious grounds.
Following three transfusions administered to improve lunacy, the patients died and the enemies of the operation brought Denis to trial on charge of murder.
Although he was eventually cleared the anti-transfusionists were able to utilize publicity against Denis, and transfusions were prohibited except with the specific approval of the Paris Faculty of Medicine whose members strongly opposed the operation.
In England, Germany and Italy, experiments continued from animal to man, but eventually the campaign in Paris resulted in a law prohibiting experiments with it, on human beings, thus succeeding in putting it into disfavor through the world. Falling into disrepute, it was not again mentioned for 150 years.
