S. cinemansions as Pathe flashed on the screen what it proudly advertised as "Extra! World Scoop! Newsreel Sensation of the Year!" To get these first films of the Dionne quintuplets required bullying by Pathe President Courtland Smith, cajoling by Pathe News Editor Claude R. Collins, many a thousand Pathe dollars, a high and mighty appeal in the name of Science and History, and, most important...
