This motion picture opens with a brief review of the history: of the Philippines from the early Spanish conquest to the Japanese invasion. Mount-tain scenery and lush growth are shown in vfvid contrast to the cultivated rice fields on terraced mountains; wide acres of pineapples and strawberries, and beautiful flowers are but some of the evidences of the boundless fertility of the soil of these islands. Rich gold mines, immense hardwood forests, and rubber plantations are also shown, all being a background for the colorful costumes and customs of the different races- which make up the population of the Philippines.

The film ends with views of the training of the young Filipino troops, and the gallant support they gave to the American Army in the brave though futile effort to halt the Japanese invaders. This film will be shown again next Wednesday evening to adults at 8.15 o'clock. TO. HONOR FEARSOti. TORONTO.
