...Calif., presented the difficulty of finding real string instruments small enough for the players. (Wind instruments are too difficult for children.) The Sherman-Thompson Co. had some 13-inch violins made abroad, some 42-inch 'cellos, 48-inch double-basses. Karl Moldrem took his idea to Hollywood where film companies made "shorts" of his babies, publicized them so widely that there are now 600 baby orchestras in the U. S., several in Japan founded by teachers who studied under Moldrem, several in Germany. The orchestras in Eureka and Hollywood set the pattern. Karl Moldrem teaches each child individually. First...
...Study in Scarlet (Fox). When National Broadcasting Co. presented A Study in Scarlet on the air, its Salt Lake City outlet indignantly cut off the instalment which cast a bloody light on certain early Mormon doings. In filming Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's thriller, Fox was evidently so concerned about injuring Mormon feelings that an entirely new and different story is told.

New film Holmes is Reginald Owen, a twangy-voiced high comedian who gave theatregoers much pleasure...

Manuela has been touched by the friendly sympathy of Fraulein von Bernburg, and after her successful performance, excited by too much strong punch, she makes a scene by shouting her gratitude and love for the teacher. Unfortunately the principal overhears the speech and Manuela is sentenced to solitary confinement. A narrowly avoided suicide brings the story to a happy conclusion...
...photography is beyond reproach and draws the story into a closely integrated film. The use of the camera gives a like-like sequence to the picture which adds greatly to its dramatic force. Although "Maedchen", is a very satisfying production, even for the person who must depend largely on the English titles to understand the dialogue, the enjoyment of the spectators is much enhanced by a knowledge of German...
