...form, with plenty of sweet talk by three sisters who try to win the attention of wealthy bachelors and end up in homes more suited to their middle-class Cleveland background. Story holds interest well, but is too obviously pointed to catch the attention of film scenarists...
...FIRST W O R L D WAR proves again that the editorial pen of Laurence Stallings can boil down the horrors of a four-year holocaust into a brief but forceful message for world peace.

It is an attempt to provoke emotion by the dramatic movements of abstract objects, accompanied by the music of Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite. In time to the music, a galaxy of rings swim into view, a pyramid intrudes, something resembling a piano keyboard rolls over & over, 50 balls pass deliberately across the screen. This unhuman cinema is, according to its author, the first entirely abstract film ever made and shown...
