"'Creatures of the Past' was highly enjoyed. It is the work of C. E. Welsh and C. B. O'Donovan of Pittsburgh. They took as their models a display made by local and New York department stores. The manner in which they photographed led the viewer back centuries to the time when the prehistoric mammoth was on this earth. Honorable mention was accorded these cinematographers for their work." American Cinematographer, Feb. 1936, 73.
"Joyce Allingham, amateur filmmaker and sister of noted English crime writer Margery Allingham, shot these films at an annual cricket match and luncheon hosted by Margery and her husband Philip Youngman Carter at their home in Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Essex. Said to be one of the highlights of life in the village, Joyce captures these annual 'cricket parties' beginning in 1937 and running until 1950, with a necessary break during World War II. The 1937 match was played against a team from the north Essex village of Chappel, whilst Joyce captures the luncheon in the following year, after which the players gather together for a group photograph and the winners urn is carefully carried off. Returning after the war for the 1948 match, Joyce shows preparations for the big day, followed by the 'feast', a photograph and the match itself. In the evening, guests celebrate inside D'Arcy house, where Margery herself acts as barmaid. Joyce also captures highlights from the 1949 and 1950 meetings, the latter featuring shots of Margery preparing lunch" (EAFA Database).
"In the land of the Gaspe Peninsula the people live by the sea, fishing for cod, cleaning and preparing these for market; sheep, wool, spinning, cloth weaving; and wood carvings. The wood carving center of Canada has many excellent carvings; works of art, creations of all sizes. A bird sanctuary three miles from the peninsula is a breeding ground for gannets. An unusual but happy visit with people and their daily affairs" PSA Journal, Nov. 1960, 41.
"A documentary of Dr. Fernando F. Guerrieri's cruise on "The Five Bells" from Los Angeles to Salina Cruz, Mexico with intermediate shore stops. There are scenes from some of the sleepy villages. The main interest is life aboard the yacht, cleaning, mending, fishing, eating, and all the other things and events one might expect on a yacht in southern waters. The picture creates a feeling of relaxation and restful purpose, with some deep sea fishing" PSA Journal, Nov. 1958, 46.
