Pierrot, managing director of World Adventure Ser- ies, announces that he is bring- ing to Detroit, for a showing on Thursday evening, March 8, at the Detroit Art Institute, Col. Edwin H. Cooper's latest film, "Palestine Today." Col. Cooper will personally be present at this showing and will speak on his experiences during the filming. "Palestine Today," which is dents. being hailed as an outstanding screen achievement, is an all- new natural color motion pic- ture. It shows how, under the Zionist movement, the Jews have revitalized the Jewish Na- tional Home. It shows Tel-Aviv, the "wonder spot of the world": the holy places of the three faiths, historic villages, modern agricultural achievements, the schools, colleges, hospitals and factories established by Jews. This picture is significant as proof of Jewish Palestine being "the favorite spot of G-I Joe on furlough." Col. Cooper states: "The new city of Tel-Aviv, on the shores of the Mediterranean, is a won- der spot of the world, destined to become a popular resort. It is the favorite vacation spot in the Middle East of American soldiers on furlough." Mr. Pierrot announces that tickets, at 90c and $1.20, tax in- cluded, are now on sale at the World Adventure office at the Art Institute, TE. 2-7676.
