...University Film Foundation). Making a film puppet-show is even more complicated than making an animated cartoon. This one, though lighted so as to give the effect of a silhouet, is three dimensional. The figures had to be drawn, then cut out of cardboard and sheet-lead, then articulated so that they could move. A German designer, Mrs. Lotte Reiniger, working with Walter Ruttmann (who made for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari expressionistic sets never surpassed in the cinema) spent three years on The Adventures of Prince Achmed.

Scorning easels, palettes and other effete appurtenances, he paints crosslegged on the ground with his picture on a piece of cardboard...
Mexico. In the course of air maneuvers from Mexico's famed Valbuena Airport last week, a cardboard village was erected as a target for bombers. Mexican aviators mistook the town of Ixtapalapa for the target, blew up the ranch "El Arenal," the Ixtapalapa Light and Power Co., killed one, wounded...
