Fourteen. U. S. citizens got their first comprehensive look at Mexican art in a traveling show sent by the American Federation of Arts seven years ago. Last week another comprehensive, more up-to-date traveling show on its first stop in Chicago gave Midwestern art followers an idea of where Mexican artists are going.

Then comes, perhaps, the greatest climax that has yet been seen on any screen to date--the hurricane. Those shots of stupendous seas and wind and the devastation which they cause to the island and its inhabitants cannot adequately be described. After seeing "Hurricane" one feels that one has been through a harrowing experience oneself--a feeling that the screen only conveys once in a great while...
