Siege
American audiences have seen pictures of the European war zone, but it is doubtful if they have ever seen anything so startlingly realistic and pathetic as this newest RKO-Pathe release, assembled from scenes taken by Julien H. Bryan of the havoc wrought by air raiders on the civilian population of Warsaw, the Polish capital. So sharp and clear is the photography that one wonders how Mr. Bryan was able to picturize such a vivid record while the city was the target of air raiders. Here is a subject that will impressively drive home to everyone who sees it the destruction, terror and the suffering of a populace in a city under fire. Mr. Bryan's narration enhances the cold stark pictorial record of his camera.
