Some scenarios call for part actual
scenes, of training or fighting, and part
rehearsed scenes in studio requiring
a cast Of actors. 1t all depends on the
subject. Capt. Clark Gable, gunner
photographer Of the Army Air Forces,
returned to this country recently to
supervise at the Army Air Force Culver
City studio production of films he took
over Germany and in England.
When picture is completed, 1t Is
pre-viewed by officers from the train
ing headquarters of the branch. They
want to be sure the scenario has been
translated faithfully and nothing added
which shouldn't, in their opinion, 60

film goes to the film distribution branch
for general distribution. The distribu-
ton branches Of both the Army Air
Forces and the Army Pictorial Service
have headquarters in the Pentagon
Building.
Film Libraries.
All training films released by the
War Department are sent to the central
distribution libraries maintained at each
service command in this country and
every overseas department.. Each CEN
trail library distributes these films, on a
temporary loan basis, to organizations
within its territory requesting them.
There are sub-ibraries at major troops

and replacement training centers, in the

Supplemental Training.
Yet, as valuable as training movies
are proving, the top training officers
at the War Department emphasize
that the films are only one aid to train.
Ing. They are visual aids which have
caught the fancy of the Army and
Navy. But they have not replaced
other, older types of instruction. The
movies, in fact, are not the sole visual
aid
Charts, maps, diagrams, models and
other forms OF visual education still
are used as extensively as ever. These
are the most effective illustrations in
certain studies. In other instances,
movies will be found more helpful.
But nothing, the officers stress, can
take the place of the instructor on the
ground. Nothing can supplant the
officer or non-com who shows YOU how

Libraries, and others may be borrowed
as needed from the central library. Aux
lliary libraries, under control OF sub
libraries, have been established at some
posts where there are schools.
Directors Of training in Washington
are not through with the films after
they have been distributed and are
ready to be exhibited at camps scat
tered from Australia to England and
from Panama to Alaska. They make
sure that training officers in the field
are utilizing them in the most effective
way. Certain procedures have been
worked out.
Officers in camp pre-view the new
releases to pick out the ones they want.
A training officer is in charge Of each
showing. Usually he makes an intro
ductory talk before the projection ma
chine starts. Tests have shown that
pictures thus presented are twice as
valuable in training as those shown
without comment. Frequently at the
close of the picture there is a quiz and
a general discussion of what has been
brought out. Sometimes a detachment
will be taken from the screening room
to the drill field to try out some ma
neuver or mechanical precision which
the film taught. The same group may
be returned to see the picture again, so
that errors may be emphasized and cor
rect methods stressed.
Must Movies.
While officers in the field have latitude
in picking out the pictures they con-
slider most suitable to their commands,
the War Department requires that GER
tain films be shown all recruits as they
pass through the reception centers, These
