FRIGHTENED NATIVES FLEE IN PANIC BEFORE JAPANESE ADVANCE
(173)
TIENTSIN, China -- Military occupation of this salient point in Japan's offensive against China is marked in the frantic community by scenes of disorder as invading soldiers compel refugees to submit to search and seizure within the Japanese concession. Ignorant natives jam all roads leaving the city in an effort to escape the invading troops but watchful sentries break up the mobs and search everyone for arms. Meanwhile remnants of the Chinese army mobilize nearby to defend the nation against an offensive on the Mukden-Pieping railroad which links this section with Manchuria, the scene of the greatest fighting.
PRES. RUBIO SPONSORS GIFT DISTRIBUTION TO CAPITAL'S ORPHANS
(76)
MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- With Mrs. Rubio supervising the work, the Protection Association contributes hundreds of toys and "dolces" to the poor children of the city. Impoverished Aztec youngsters gather in an impressive array and salute the Chief Executive of the nation with a colorful entertainment and pageant as he lays aside his official duties to aid in the relief of the community's poor.
LEGAL HORSE RACING DRAWS THOUSANDS TO NEW "TROPICAL PARK"
(97)
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Seven weeks after laws permitting meetings within the state are passed over the governor's veto, this new course is constructed in record time and opened to the public. Under the protection of the law, gamblers flock to the track and reap a harvest at the Pari-Mutuel machines, installed as an added attraction in the betting rings. A thrilling 6-furlong canter opens the first meeting, and Brown Supinet with Jockey Stout up romps home to the initial victory on the course in a stirring claiming race.
HIGHLIGHTS IN 1931'S NEWS
(431)
The parade of events during the past year dealt disastrous blows throughout the world. The major catastrophe of the period was the floods at Hankow, China where upwards of 500,000 persons died in one of the most terrible tragedies that ever visited the Orient.
The most terrifying earthquake disaster the Western Hemisphere has known nearly wiped Managua, Nicaragua, off the face of the globe.
The Bourbon dynasty, successors to the throne of Spain, fell before revolutionary forces, and a monarchical government that had endured since 3,000 B.C. retired from existence as Alfonso XIII abdicated and the nation became a Republic.
Aviation history continued to be made in 1931, with Harold Gatty and Wiley Post setting their plane Betty Mae down on Long Island after circling the globe in a little over 8 days.
Daredevil flying contributed the greatest thrill in the thrilling history of the newsreel screen, with the crash of Lowell Bayles. Screaming through the air at 300 miles an hour, Bayles' plane, twisting and turning, plunged to earth and catapulted the intrepid pilot to his death.
This symposium of the great events of the year would be incomplete without 1931's best laughs -- and a couple of 'em are included that have shaken rafters throughout the civilized world -- and uncivilized, too.

A PREVIEW TO INVASION
With every American tensely waiting every bit of information on the invasion battles in France, we deem it our public duty to present a pictorial record of how the invasion looked when rehearsed in various training areas abroad.
Supreme Commander Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's historic invasion message is heard as the landing barges plunge through the waves, with swarms of protective planes overhead. Battleships roar. Thousands of commando parachutists float to earth.
We see the Nazi practicing their defense. Huge guns are manned and their machine guns spit their staccato messages of death. Our barges land. Our troops leap ashore, back their way through the barbed wire, and all participants are fit and ready for the actual invasion of Nazi Europe.
AMERICA RECEIVES THE NEWS
Electric signs in New York City and Philadelphia carry the news of the landings in France to millions of city dwellers. The newsrooms of the giant radio networks turn into bee hives. The churches of the nation are jammed with devout parishioners, who are praying from the depth of their hearts for their loved ones in the services. And Gen. George Marshall and Gen. Hap Arnold enter the electrified atmosphere of the White House.
KING AND THE GRAND FLEET
King George VI inspects units of the Grand Fleet which is massed for important duties.
FIRE AND RUINS IN BERLIN
Huge clouds of smoke enshroud large burning areas of Berlin. And other sections of the Nazi capital are shown in utter ruin.
BABY SUBMARINE
British 2-man submarines are seen. The men, dressed in diving suits, sit on a torpedo and operate special releasing mechanism.
474 NEW "GENERALS"
WEST POINT--Graduation exercises are held for the '44 class. Lt. John Eisenhower draws special attention, but the marrying chapel gets very special attention.
DESTRUCTION OF THE LUFTWAFFE
Miraculous pictures of Nazi planes getting blown to bits (in the sky and on the ground), and of other feats of marksmanship by fleets of Allied airmen.
BEAUTIES REAP FLAX
KARNES COUNTY, TEXAS -- Patriotic girls, enlisted in the "Harvest Brigade," operate self-propelled harvesters in local flax fields. The brigade will cut huge swaths through the grain fields, all the way to Canada.
SUDS FOR G.I'S.
The British sailors have their grog--now the G.I. Joes in Italy get their American beer from a Naples brewery. It's a stirring sight to see the boys go for the stuff--they even rise from the earth to get a snootful.

FIRST PICTURES INVASION OF FRANCE
(The greatest co-ordination of arms ever portrayed on any motion picture screen in the world. Every scene made during the greatest victory of Allied power, to date.)
11,000 Allied planes plant their tons of pulverizing bombs on shore installations, strategic roads and bridges--then swoop down to strafe enemy trains, ships and planes
In England, the daredevil paratroopers sail away to their designations and the air-borne troops follow in their gliders. 4,000 ships set sail for the Cherbourg peninsula. The guns of the invasion navy roar into action. Assault boats bounce through the heavy sea . . . shore is reached and the intricate Nazi defences are penetrated.
Nazi prisoners are rounded up, and the many Allied and Nazi wounded are treated and returned to England. Allied heavy equipment rumbles by and the French natives welcome their liberators. Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower visits the scene and is welcomed by Generals Montgomery and Bradley.
The air poundings continue, and the mop-up search for snipers is on. The invasion is successful.

THE YANKS STORM GUAM
A tremendous task force approaches hilly Guam, in the accepted pattern of U.S. invasion of territory held by the Japs. Terrific gun fire and air bombs shatter many of the Jap shore positions--then the "amtracs" (new amphibious craft) swim out from the ramps of huge L.C.I.'s and the shores of this Jap-held American island are approached.
A few of the little craft are set on fire as Jap hits are registered, but the remainder get in. The Yanks leap ashore--Universal's intrepid cameraman, Irving Smith, right in their midst. A quick reconnaissance reveals that Jap battle stations have been razed, just as they were at Tarawa and Kwajalein. The landing is successful and the battle to secure the entire island is (illegible text).
FROM NORMANDY TO BRITTANY
Allied planes unlimber their guns on Nazi targets, with telling results. Ammunition trains, enemy planes, buss-bombs etc. are destroyed. We see part of the tremendous variety of rolling equipment which the Allies have landed in France. After huge battle tanks roll into action--the familiar sight of surrendering Nazis soon follows.
As jeeps screech along, one G.I. digs himself a luxury fox hole. And on finishing an inspection tour of the liberated territory, Winston Churchill boards a Naval cutter, waving goodbye to twirling his topper his topper on a cane.

THE INVASION OF OKINAWA
Conferences at Guam ended, Pacific Fleet Commander, Admiral Nimitz sends an armada of 1,400 vessels to Okinawa in the Ryukus. En route, the men of the new U. S. 10th Army stage their own deck entertainment, and secure their issue of invasion money.
Land sighted, the big guns of the fleet bark into action, and tons of rockets are sped shoreward. Landing craft race in, and unopposed landings are made. Inland, Jap dugouts and pill boxes are destroyed with grenades. Past broken forts, natives climb down from the hills, the Stars and Stripes are run up, and the Yanks prepare for their campaign on Okinawa--360 miles from Japan itself.
ADVANCING WITH THE U.S. 3RD ARMY
From hill positions, the Yanks are confronted with blistering fire from the Nazis in the valley below. When Yankee tanks, tank destroyers, and machine guns silence the enemy, the U.S. 3rd continues its victory advance, rolling by miles of burning and wrecked Nazi equipment. And a flood of Nazi prisoners streams to a collecting yard.
