Present-Day
Stars Lead
Revival Film
4th Educational
Show to Feature
Inclusion of Sound
Still prominent and popular to
day, two motion picture stars,
Janet Gaynor and George O'
Brien, are featured as leads in
one of the two revival films to be
presented in the movie room
(207) of chapman hall four
times this afternoon and evening.
“Sunrise,” produced by Fox films
in 1927, and starring the two
favorites, is accompanied by a
German film “Hands.”
Although this is the fourth pro
gram in the series of six spon
sored by the educational activities
Times for today’s movies are

cards.
board, these two films are the
first to be accompanied by sound.
Music is included in the complet
ed pictures to add mood and at
mosphere and both films, al
though made in a past decade,
have a modern flavor.
Little comic byplays, such as
a small inebriated pig, and a
lady with unstable shoulder
straps, add humor to the later
part of the film, which ends on
a note of frustration with the
music of horns calling across the
dark waters of a lake.
“Hands” represents a compro
mise between the abstract and
realistic, and it is unique in that
only hands appear on the screen.
The director felt that the laws
of the medium are very often ob
scured by actors and yet the
hands were used as a means of
expression.
