The Soundies
The 1940s saw a brief audacious experiment in mass entertainment: a jukebox with a screen. Patrons could insert a dime, then listen to and watch such popular entertainers as Nat "King" Cole, Gene Krupa, Cab Calloway or Les Paul. A number of companies offered these tuneful delights, but the most successful was the Mills Novelty Company and its three-minute musical shorts called Soundies. This book is a complete filmography of 1,880 Soundies: the musicians heard and seen on screen, recording and filming dates, arrangers, soloists, dancers, entertainment trade reviews and more. Additional filmographies cover more than 80 subjects produced by other companies. There are 125 photos taken on film sets, along with advertising images and production documents. More than 75 interviews narrate the firsthand experiences and recollections of Soundies directors and participants. Forty years before MTV, the Soundies were there for those who loved the popular music of the 1940s. This was truly "music for the eyes."
A Leopard Shall Watch Over
A Vietnam war veteran's search for redemption in the Holy Land is the subject of this contemporary version of the Divine Comedy. The leader of a platoon of soldiers that took vengeance on a small village and its inhabitants attempts to come to terms with his descent into evil in this rendering of Dante's journey from darkness to light. Set in the 70s, many of the scenes in the three parts of the medieval allegory are represented throughout this adoption by using the novel's characters in a variety of guises. More profoundly, an exploration of the paradoxical nature of individuality brings this modern pilgrim to a clearer understanding of himself and his world, though not the one he had originally expected to find.

It has chemically and magnetically altered their bodies on the sub atomic level giving them a telekinetic power that enables them both to move and control small objects.
