Diggers" show Is different from the others because it pays considerable attention to the story enlivened by Victor Moore's rich chuckling comedy and confines the Busby Berkeley girl ensembles to two musical apectacles This emphasis on the story makes for better entertainment balance though it does tend to slow up the visual pace The big musical numbers with their continual "panning" movements of the camera quick dissolves and flashes as well as the interesting dance patterns and business Of the chorus are placed in the latter reels to accelerate the tempo satisfactorily AS you might guess

British army officials want their entire force and equipment to move at speeds approaching 50 miles an hour Such speeds would afford maximum concentrations at danger points due to the smallness of the British Isles Roads abound in all parts of the country Recent naval exercises revealed that Increased attention Is being paid to anti-aircraft firing The radio controlled pilotless planes have been

picturesque business of wood-gathering The floating of the logs down the river is the only technical anachronism This method of transporting timber Is no longer countenanced because of the damage
