The Three-Sided Mirror

Psychological narrative avantgarde film about a wealthy young businessman who consecutively falls in love with a classy English woman (Pearl), a Russian sculptress (Athalia), and a naive working-class girl (Lucie). Overpowered by weakness, the coward sidesteps the obligations that love affairs impose: rather than living up to his dates he takes his sports-car from an ultra-modern garage and speeds to the fashionable beaches of Deauville. On his way, he is fatally hit by a descending swallow. The film is divided into three segments each of which consists of events the woman experienced. These sequences are embedded in scenes in which each of the three women is telling and casting her mind back to her own love affair. Thus, present, future and past merge and cannot be distinguished clearly. The intertwinement of several layers of time experience, recollection, telling and showing have been regarded as a source of inspiration of Alain Resnais and this film prefigures his "L'Année dernière à Mariënbad" to a certain extent.

Women of the West

While due credit must be given to those women who have, by their wisdom, counsel and support made our domestic conditions what they are to-day, the wonderful prosperity of the United States as a whole is due to the extraordinary resources of the west, and therefore the places of honor in the niches of history rightfully belong to the women who so nobly assisted in settling and populating the great west. Stop and reflect what fortitude those women showed in venturing into the unknown wilderness, what heroism they displayed, surrounded by hostile Indians, and sacrificing their lives to eventually benefit all mankind. History is replete with the many instances of those acts, but mere words can but poorly represent to the mind the details of the exact incidents. To be able to view the actual occurrence cannot but indelibly impress upon the mind what we really owe these women pioneers. To see the simple life of these people, their sports, pleasures and hardships, and how, when the men folk are attending a country election, the red men take advantage of the situation and pillage and burn their homes. But better still to visually observe how these women, reared to danger, bravely protected their lives and property and also the wild rides of some of the women to warn their neighbors and bring the men to their rescue.
