New Swedish Film
Shows Progress

Swedish motion picture production
has taken an enormous step forward
with the release of "Sol Over Sverige
("Sun Over Sweden"), which will be
shown at the Vogue Theatre, Sand
stone, Tuesday, October Is, afternoon
and evening, matinee at 2:30, eve
ming at 7:30 p. m.
The handsome, entertaining and in
structive full-length feature picture
constitutes new departure in Swed-
ish film making, and definitely must
be regarded as being in a class all
by itself. 1t is not a travel film in
the accepted sense of that word
neither is it merely recounting OF
a series of jolly adventures which

from different parts, not knowing
each other. Before summer is over
however, much has happened and ro-
