Article advertising the newest Inquirer-Universal Newsreel.

The Inquirer often showed newsreels in a number of local theaters that showed interesting footage from around the world. In this article, the writer uses Depression-era terminology to explain a sequence about ducks, and also mentions that the newsreel includes images from an employment program in Massachusetts. This can be contrasted with articles about Inquirer newsreels in 1929, which discussed images such as skyscrapers and turtle races. The impact of the Depression on film can be noted here.
