“FURY OVER SPAIN ” “Fury Over Spain” is a short film of 2000 feet, a frank completely integrated document, definitely and deliberately intended to arouse comment and criticism. Accurately and authentically, the camera records the life and death struggle of brothers under arms against each other. Without the usual sugar coating, the film shows the horror and brutality of modern warfare in our modern day. Portraying the Spain of the monarchy, with all the pomp and splendour of Alfonso's regime, then the hopeful enthusiasm of Republican Spain, the film quickly turns to the sudden coup d’etat of 19th July, when the regular army of Spain under Franco crossed the Straits and invaded Spain. Underneath the frenzied preparation for war there is the undisguised element of tragedy, so uncertain, so confused, so tangled, that men die on. the streets knowing not what they die for.

THREE FEET OF FILM STAR Let me introduce to you three feet of G.B.D. film star—a young lady who seldom plays “heavy” parts because she herself weighs only 2st 71b. This is Angela Glynne, three years old, who plays Marina in Gainsborough's "Bank Holiday.” Pleased to meet you Miss Glyne. But your face seems very familiar. Angela Glynne has never been in a film before, but she is the most photographed child in Great Britain. The public have seen her picture countless times on magazine covers, shop window displays, advertisements and wrappings. She has been a big-money earner from the age of one! She has that kind of face and that kind of charm. And she can sing and dance (despite a certain disparity in weight and figure) do a convincing burlesque of Mae West. But this last is for private performances only.

THREE POPULAR STARS

efforts serve only to increase his notoriety, as well as his unpopularity with the managing editor. On a wild chase into the country, he and his quarry are arrested for speeding and jailed by county Judge Slim Summerville. Loretta’s revenge works itself up to a bewildering and amusing climax in which the tables are suddenly turned. Slim Summerville, Dudley Digges, Walter Catlett, George Sanders, Pane Darwel, Stepin Fetchit and Pauline Moore are featured in the cast.

TALL STORY COMES TRUE From the forbidden depths of the isle of the incredible, where fish climb trees, snakes fly and oysters grow on tree-trunks, where native blow-guns breathe death and the head-hunters still lurk, comes the thrilling record of a great adventurer's greatest adventure, Martin Johnson's last picture, “Borneo.” A pioneer in exploration with camera and airplane, Martin Johnson photographed in Borneo, the last of his beloved jungles. This is the pictorial climax of an exciting career that led him through the dark, mysterious byways of unknown worlds. Oca Johnson flew and filmed with her husband, making a record for the screen of the remote places of the earth, capturing the thrill of the undiscovered, the unknown, the new and the strange. To this fascinating film, a tall story comes true, Lowell Thomas, famed voice of air and screen, brings his own knowledge of far places and strange events as narrator.

A WOMAN WITH A PURPOSE TO PUT TEACHING FILMS INTO EVERY SCHOOL BEFORE 1940 Miss Margery Locket, chief of the Gaumont-British Instructional Film Bureau, is organising facilities for the provision of educational films and projectors in conjunction with education authorities which will place Great Britain on an equal footing with foreign countries. The nature of her task may be gauged from the fact that there are only 1000 schools in Great Britain equipped for films as compared with 17,000 in Germany and 10,000 in France. It is hoped that before the end of 1940 the majority of British schools will be equipped for school films. Their value in education is now recognised by education authorities everywhere.

r j The difficulty has been to ensure a ’ I steady supply of suitable films and apj paralus; Miss Locket believes that this j obstacle has now been overcome.
