This week's show, under the heading of "Development of the Narrative," features an old-time documentary, "Possibilities of War in the Air," along with Sarah Bernhardt in "Queen Elizabeth" and a German film, "M", starring Peter Lorre.
On March 7, date of the next showing, a short history of the animated cartoon will be presented, including Walt Disney's first effort, "Steamboat Willie." The second feature is "Lives of a Bengal Lancer," with Gary Cooper.

"A Nous la Liberte" will be featured on April 11 with a series of excerpts from dance films. The last show, on May 23, will consist of three Charlie Chaplin comedies and the original of the "Thin Man" series.
Tickets for these movies may be obtained, for the whole series only, through the Society's treasurer, David Shaw, at 314 Marlborough Street, Boston.
