'Amateur filmmaker Dorothy Maxey observes the wildlife in her native Norfolk capturing on Super 8 film a variety of interesting flora and fauna, including at Thompson Common where ponies wade into the pingos and steal the heads from the water violets, and in her own back garden stumbling across wrestling toads. The filmmaker also recalls a story of nursing a poorly mouse following a frosty night by returning home with it to kindly warm him up under the oven grill' (EAFA.org.uk)

"J. F. Hollywood, ACL, built his 8mm. film, Opera Night, around a child's dream and which involved magic. The tricks were accomplished by stopping the camera, holding the action, making the desired change in the subject and starting the camera again." Movie Makers, Dec. 1935, 527.
"Joseph F. Hollywood of New York City entered 'Opera Night,' shot entirely indoors with some trick stop action built around his children. A deserving effort that receives honorable mention." American Cinematographer, Feb. 1936, 73.
"Operation On The Brain, 300 ft., 16mm., made by Ernest Page and William Palmer, is a splendid record of a surgical operation. The film's most prominent quality is its fine definition. Correct exposure and careful lighting produced a clean cut and understandable scientific record. Closeups, made with a telephoto lens, were correctly interspersed with the longer shots to emphasize the important details. Variation in camera position is as important in films of operations as in other types of subject matter. Continuous closeups, often used in films of this nature, may be as unsatisfactory as would be continuous medium shots. Although not planned from the viewpoint of instruction, this picture is probably as satisfactory a surgical record as is possible to make under amateur conditions." Movie Makers, Dec. 1930, 759.

"Operazioni, III, realizzato da Gian Luigi Dorigo, nella Sala Operatoria della Divisione Chirurgica Ortopedica del prof. Francesco Delitala, Ospedale Civile di Venezia. Il film fa parte della Serie delle Operazioni che Gian Luigi Dorigo sta realizzando con l'intento di interpretare gli interventi chirurgici in forma non inespressiva, come fino ad oggi i documentarii scientifici, ma valendosi dei mezzi precipi del cinematografo, e in una parola, del montaggio, per la più chiara ed evidente dimostrazione dell'assunto. La pellicola col titolo Una Mattina di Operazione ha partecipato ai Littoriali riscuotendo vivo interessamento. Gian Luigi Dorigo descrive in un articolo su questo numero le sue opinioni nei riguardi del film scientifico."
"Operations, III, made by Gian Luigi Dorigo, in the Operating Room of the Orthopedic Surgery Division of Prof. Francesco Delitala, Civil Hospital of Venice. The film is part of the Series of Operations that Gian Luigi Dorigo is making with the intent to represent the surgical interventions in an expressive way, as up to now the scientific documentaries, but availing himself of the specific means of cinema, and in a word, the montage, for the clearest and most obvious demonstration of the thesis. The film with the title Una Mattina di Operazione (A Morning of Operation) participated in the Littoriali, attracting great interest. Gian Luigi Dorigo describes his opinions on scientific films in an article in this issue."
