MacArthur Renews Vow, 1944/04/17
About this film
(1) "What of MacArthur? 1944, an election year, finds America buzzing with the question 'What about MacArthur?' The General appears as a personage in our reel, who is being banqueted in Australia, the continent which he saved from the Jap. He speaks with all conviction and honesty of which a human being is capable, reiterating his promise that he will return to the Philippines. But our study brings more than a mere statement it gives the movie audiences of the nation a long sought opportunity to study this American dwelling in far off places, to adjudge his character, and to form an individual estimate of his calibre as a man among men." (2) Mighty Plane Sets Record "Constellation Record Maker Washington, DC: the new Lockheed C-69 crosses the U.S.A. in 6 hrs. and 58 min., non-stop. Powered by four 2,200 horsepower Wright radial engines, with a troop capacity of 100, this huge 'Flying Shark' now enters upon U.S. Army transport duties." (3) Heroes Are Decorated "Halloran General Hospital, NYC: Paratrooper Leonard of Buffalo and Private Zyeh of Staten Island receive Purple Hearts from Major Jeannette Bleeh." (partial newsreel)
