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 LAUGH PARADE OF 1936
BLIND MAN'S BIFF. --
Turn a bunch of blindfolded heavyweight wrestlers loose in a Battle Royal and the result is shocking, to say the least. The referee's the only one who can see, but he takes a beating anyhow.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL Volume VIII Number 522
THE LAUGH PARADE OF 1936
BLIND MAN'S BIFF. --
Turn a bunch of blindfolded heavyweight wrestlers loose in a Battle Royal and the result is shocking, to say the least. The referee's the only one who can see, but he takes a beating anyhow.
JUST PLAIN NUTS.--
The year's goofiest diet crops out when an "Algerian" visitor to these shores warms up a plate of nuts and bolts with a blowtorch and proceeds to feast on the strange assortment of hardware.
DUCK DUCKS WATER.--
A duck that won't take to water adds a laugh to the world's store for 1936. The bird is a family and community pet, but it just won't go for a swim or stay under the spray of a garden hose.
ONE-MAN HURRICANE.--
Last summer was so hot, it inspired the first "air-conditioned" suit, a queer arrangement of tubes supplying a breeze through the whole costume from bellows fastened to the wearer's shoes.
LOVE BELOW ZERO.--
Just to prove the warmth of their affections, a couple get themselves married while each is immured in a huge block of ice. It's a pretty shivery proposition before the knot is finally tied.
STRATO HOP FIZZLES.--
A be-whiskered inventor's strato-gyro-plane rumbles and bumps, but somehow doesn't quite get anything but a cloud of smoke into the blue. The pilot has to walk back from his "flight."
A GENTLEMAN PLUG.--
Here's a horse that sleeps in a regular bed, with blankets and a downy quilt. He's a bit undersized, so his owners try to fatten him up at a place laid at their own table. (Mrs. Astor Please Note).
HE WON THE SWEEPS.--
A picture of perfect calm is provided by one of the men whose luck brought him the first prize in the Irish Sweepstakes. But his wife gives "a good substantial yell" over their fortune.
HE LOST THE SWEEPS.--
John Q. Dohp represents the majority of Sweepstakes ticket-holders in his sad but untearful explanation of how it feels to lose. This was a three-week hold-over on Broadway.
