Conant Makes Screen Debut In Atom Film; Critics Rave

"Atomic Power," the current issue of the March of Time, which heralds the screen debut of President Conant, was released this week, and already rave notices from the critics are pouring in.

President Conant, who shares billing with such notables as Albert Einstein and Major General Leslie R. Groves to reenact the evolution of the A-bomb, is co-starred with Vannevar Bush in a scene filmed in a Cambridge garage and portraying the first explosion of the bomb.

As actors, the scientists were lauded with faint praise, but the picture, says Life Magazine, is "a remarkable piece of living history." The scenes were filmed here early last month.
