 Human Race Story
University of Chicago Releases Movie For Showing At Schools and Colleges Throughout Country

Chicago (UP)-The. University Of Chicago, for some time pro- ducer and user of educational nov. ies, recently announced the com pletion and release, by it's Oriental Institute, of full length feature picture, "The Human Adventure. :"
 The eight-reel talking picture, which the Orienta Institute labels "a sketch of mans rise from sav- agery to civilization" will be 'sroad-shown" to the leading col leges and universities throughout the country in exactly the same manner that a theatrical picture is shown in kep cities.
 OppOrtune Time
 we believe that the release of The Human Adventure,' at the very time when so many organiZa- tions are clamoring for better mov- ies, will prove beneficial to the mo- ton picture industry and that 1t will stimulate further production and use of educational films," de- clared Charles Breasted, executive secretary of the Oriental Institute.
 The film, requiring more than three years to complete, was pro- duced under scientific supervision of Dr James H. Breadsted, famous archeologist and historian, and di-

The picture carries the audience by air. plane through the lands where civ- ilization first arose--Egypt, Pales- tine, Syria, Anatolia, Iraq and Per- sia-where the institute has dis patched altogether some IA expedl- tions. Eight of the latter are ob- served while actually engaged in the scientific recovery of the lost chapters of the shuman adventure.
 Special planes were chartered and professional cameramen- were employed to produce a story which never before has been told on the screen. More than 32,000 feet of film were exposed and many of the pictures were made from the air during more than 5000 miles of flying.
