...Translux with the idea of getting out in a couple of hours, just because there's no double feature. The program is jammed with newsreels, popular science features, and countless shots of the King and Queen in Canada. Disney's "Ugly Duckling," however, is a gem; and the March of Time on the problems of Dixieland is one of the best...
Perhaps "The Edge of the World" will not have the popular appreciation it deserves. The Public, getting wind of a dreary plot in a dreary set, may stay away in droves,--but at their own expense.

Although these paintings presented by the Museum Class cannot be placed under the heading of great or profoundly significant art, they contain a warmth and a source of satisfaction which can only be attributed to the presence of sincere feeling...
