Col. Cooper's Natural Color
Pictures Reveal Modern
Jewish Homeland

Detroiters interested in Zion-
ism and Palestine will have a
chance to see the latest natural
color motion pictures filmed in
that country when Col. Edwin
H. Cooper, D.S.C., presents his
all-new "Palestine Today" films
at the Detroit Institute of Arts
Thursday, March 8, at 8:30 p.m.

Reserved seats are on sale at
the World Adventure Series of-
fice at the Institute, TE. 2-7676.

With War Department per-
mission, Col. Cooper recently re-
turned from an air trip to Pales-
tine to give the fullest motion
picture story of modern Pales-
tine ever filmed. Featured are
close-ups of American soldiers—
to whom Palestine is a favorite
furlough spot—visiting the Holy
places of three faiths.

"There is plenty of room in
Palestine," he says. "More than
500,000 Jews have returned to
their homeland, and they have
reclaimed neglected desert and
made a garden spot out of what
was once wasteland. They are
bringing prosperity and comfort
to once poverty-stricken Arabs."

Col. Cooper pictures Tel Aviv
and other new communities; new
industries, factories, orchards,
farms, villages, hospitals, schools,
colleges and public buildings of
all sorts.
On Wednesday evening, March
7, at 8:30, he will speak on "With
GI Joe Around the World," and
show the new color pictures
made during a 32,000-mile flight.
He presents the American soldier
as he works and plays and fights
in Italy, rorth Africa, Egypt,
Palestine, Persia, India, Burma
and China.
