...disposition of all the world's armies, navies and air forces, and their positions from day to day, the economic resources of every theater of war, changes of population and their racial origins, war production in industrial areas-all projected on the surface of the globe in shining Technicolor from films inside. Somebody figured out that the globe would have to be about the size of the Perisphere at the late World's Fair...
...Through (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is a lachrymose, sticky, super-sentimental romance conceived and acted by Jane Cowl for the post-war U.S. of 1919.

Waves, shipwrecks, Indians, and cold-blooded villains don't help much, except perhaps to convince you that the picture's point...
...over-enthusiastic C.A.A. students may be interested in the flying sequences which are shown in technicolor--even this ground hugger was a little interested the first two times that the air force went through its entire repertoire. The show, in short, is a pictorial cliche aimed at the 14-year-old mind and landing...
