Christmas-time in Toyland
Editor
Castle Films 1939 holiday offering wrapped up to make a Merry Christmas merrier. A visual kaleidoscope of the toys from all over the world from the cuddly to the curious and beyond...with an emphasis on mechanical dolls, monkeys, bears, rabbits popping up out of cabbages and choo-choo trains. And there is a rich sampling of animated displays that once graced department store windows - of story-book tales and operettas... and animated stop-motion toy soldiers, The musical track is drawn mostly from Van Beuren Studio's "Pastrytown Wedding."
Hindenburg Explodes!
Producer
Dramatic Universal newsreel footage of the Hindenburg disaster which took place on Thursday, May 6, 1937, when the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, New Jersey. Of the 97 people on board (36 passengers, 61 crew), there were 35 fatalities; there was also one death among the ground crew. The actual cause of the fire remains unknown, although a variety of hypotheses have been put forward for both the cause of ignition and the initial fuel for the ensuing fire. The incident shattered public confidence in the giant, passenger-carrying rigid airship and marked the end of the airship era.
