...week demonstrations by Floyd Ramsdell of Worcester Film Corp. brought nearer the day of movies in depth and color, when the screen will seem to be a stage of unlimited scope. Persistent, inventive Floyd Ramsdell does not use a double camera or double projector, relies instead on a "beam splitter." This mounts two lenses on a single camera, prints the two pictures-one from each lens-side by side in each frame of a motion film. The projector may thus be any standard make but is also fitted with a beam splitter which sets the two pictures almost over each...

...version of The Star-Spangled Banner, published last week, bore those words on the cover. The words and music were by a sometime modernist ear-splitter, a onetime Russian aristocrat, Igor Stravinsky. At first toot, the author of the raucous thumps and blats of The Rite of Spring (played in Walt Disney's Fantasia) hardly seemed a likely rearranger for the national anthem.

Outside of the fact that the film is a precedent breaker it is one of the funniest works that the Hollywood boys have sent out in a good long time. One scene in particular is a side splitter. Douglas, in order to put over a business deal tells his prospect, who is the father of umpteen children, that Russell is going to have a baby. The attempts to keep this rather important fact away from the unsuspecting girl prove hilarious. Aided by the clever Binnie Barnes, Douglas turns a dinner scene into a three ring circus. Every time the childloving...

...this film version of a Pulitzer prize play is an authentic, moving account of how a sluggish rail-splitter turned President. Hollywood has withstood the temptation to be spectacularly patriotic; and the result is one of those rare historical pictures which are devoid of all furor and fuss...
